  1. Newton made it to the Super Bowl, and commandingly so. MVP doesn't prove anything to me until he at least makes it to the Super Bowl.
  2. Hell, even Allen himself hasn't proven he's got it all just yet. Bottom line though, shooting for the next Josh Allen / Cam Newton all too frequently nets you the next Anthony Richardson / Trey Lance.
  3. The whole "take the phenomenal athlete and teach him to be a quarterback" model is just something I've never believed in. They have to have the quarterback skills first. If they're also a great athlete, that's gravy. But The idea that you can turn a lousy passer / processor into a pro quarterback is just fallacy.
  4. I wonder if this will lead to any discussion or debate
  5. From Dianna Russini... Still a decent price, but not as high as was originally projected
  6. I got called away early in the game and haven't had a chance to look back at it so I may need to review this. Thanks
  7. It occurred to me that simply saying "Zod" had died without context could provoke that reaction. Hence, why I included the tweet.
  8. Not sure I understand that
  9. Not exactly the NFL, but... RIP General Zod
  10. Might not be on much today because we've got work to do but I'll try to leave some observations. This, as I understand it, will be the "dress rehearsal" game but unlike in the past, the starters may not play a whole lot.
  11. To be fair, the "games that matter" train has left our station pretty early for the last few years
  12. A big part of it for me is the improvement of Young. He's miles ahead of where he used to be. Canales? I like him, but my judgment on how good a coach he can be is still pending.
  13. It didn't mean anything in those seasons either. Neither does the incompetence of prior coaching and personnel staffs mean anything to our current situation. The quarterback we saw at the end of last season was perfectly fine and has a shiny new weapon who looked just fine on Friday. It's too early to know anything.
  14. Remember when Anthony Richardson was about to set the world on fire?
  15. Cam Newton looked like refried horse sh-t in what was, at that time, the "dress rehearsal" game (preseason three) of his rookie season. Two weeks later, we were all thinking a decade of glory lay ahead of us.
  16. I expect that this time of year. Hell, a ref said their ruling had been "conformed"
  17. I've seen over fifty preseasons from various teams and can't think of a single time they were strongly predictive of anything. Heck, even the first few weeks of the season can be illusory.
