Fame, fortune, fans, enduring respect... all jeopardized for the lowest end sexual experience possible. It's like the Devil had a garage sale.

Another episode. Hope y'all are enjoying them.

There's a lot of truth to this, but I do see them as the same prototype of player. Josh just seems to be the next step along that line. Cam was a bit more physically gifted, to be honest, and I think he continued to rely on it more and more, rather than developing his passing and defense reading skill set. Josh, like you said, devoted more to developing that side of his game. That being said, if you listen to Cam breaking down tape, he's an incredibly knowledgeable QB, but I think Josh has benefited even more from mentorship from more experienced coaching. And yeah, both will eventually be HoF inductees. Just hoping Josh doesn't end up with the Marino entry... gold jacket, no rings.

No doubt and lets hope it's decades before they find another one.

Who knows... there may be another 6'5" 235 lb mobile QB with a cannon for an arm, with even better abilities to read and react to defenses. I thought there'd never be another step past Cam, but then Josh comes along and you see that next evolutionary step in the big, mobile QB group. Generational talents, but also just one of them per generation I guess.

If he ends up in New Orleans, we're going to have hell to pay. He'll spend the first year or two trying to find the next evolutionary step from Cam to Josh to... And if he does it'll be lights out in the floundering NFCSouth. There are a lot of other names on that list beyond Brady's that I'd rather see get that job, purely for the selfish reason that I'd want the Panthers to have an easier go of it.

They do, they really do. And he's a culture building guy that is better at talking with this generation of players than guys 20 years younger than him. He'll turn them around and into a winning team before he chooses to retire.

Ravens home uniform is great, black and purple just looks good. Logo on the helmet is one of the best in the league. Bengals home uniforms also good, still love the tiger stripes on helmet and on the shoulders and legs. Beats the hell out of Paul Brown just copying the Browns' unis and writing Bengals on the helmets. The Steelers uniforms are just iconic. Logo on only one side of the helmet, it's just historic and enduring.

That's an interesting wrinkle... and I can't quite shake that it could make sense. Still, I really want to see us grab LB in the first.

Not a single one of these signings hurts us, or even costs us much, but it gives these guys a reason to stay in shape and keep working toward making a team. Sounds like a few guys who need to be part of a reclamation project and maybe we will find a diamond in the rough there. Sounds like some good, lower cost options for back-up O-line there. I wonder if the player from Ghana would count as a foreign investment player and allow us to keep an extra guy on the roster. That could be really handy, if I am correct about those rules.

Poor kid. Here's hoping he someday gets a chance. In the meantime, someone else will be getting an opportunity and hopefully they can make the most of it.

Amazing job of coaching he's done this season considering the massive number of injuries that team has suffered. Even with five turnovers, they put a bunch of points. Had their defense not been so decimated (including losing a starting DB with a broken arm early in the game), they might have held on to win it. The injury bug is a mean one, and it got them in the end. Not to downgrade Washington's performance, because they were outstanding, but just to say, there's no shame in Detroit.

If you hire Coach Prime, you are handing him the keys to everything. And I mean everything. I loved the guy as a player. Loved him as a commentator. But if you thought his self-promotion made it hard to deal with him solo, then him plus his sons on the biggest national stage ever... you will lose everything you had for a middling to best coach and some totally over-hyped lesser versions of him. And you'll come out looking like the bad guy when you eventually have to cut him and them loose.

He's something.

Do they still play John Lee Hooker's "Boom Boom" at the kick off?

You make a lot of sense here but I'd be happy with a Jared Goff level of capabilities down the road. There are, at any time, maybe only two to three of the stellar, world-beater type QBs in the league at a time. Right now, you're looking at Mahomes, Allen and Jackson -- all stellar, generational talents that bring something beyond human to the game. Those guys are rare, rare, rare. We had one with Cam. They are meteoric and when they're gone, the next generation comes in. But those guys don't win all the championships, and sometimes never do. Yes, Mahomes has a shot at a third Super Bowl win in a row right now and Brady won like 17 or something. Good well-balanced teams with solid QBs can win championships and sometimes have an even better shot. A lot of making those guys win has to do with coaching, not just of the QB but in developing a game plan that works against each opponent -- shielding their QB from their own deficiencies (and they all have them except for those very few stalwarts like Mahomes, et al) and finding what there is in an opponent that can be exploited for a win. Good coaching, with a well-built team can do that. I think we are seeing that in Detroit right now, in Philly, too. The question is, can Dave Canales and his staff be the guys who can elevate a team through game planning and research? Not sure yet, but there's some hope. I think the team needs more fine tuning in player personnel, trainers, scouts and position coaches (and I still don't really believe in our DC) before we are ready to really challenge anyone, much less take this division. Maybe this offseason can make a big leap. I sure didn't expect the team to leap like it has in the last half of this past season. Another jump in competitiveness like that and they'll be talking about the coach as a turnaround guru. Wouldn't that be nice? But to circle back around, yeah, right now Bryce doesn't look like one of those generational talents, but he certainly looks like a guy who is getting comfortable being out there leading an offense, who seems more sure of his game. And that... well, not many of us had read that one in our tea leaves back in September. Good luck to the Kid.

Darn good read. Thanks for sharing it! If Bryce grows as much in the off-season as a player as he did during those few weeks off after week 2 this season... wow.

I don't think coach was the problem in Dallas. But considering I've always hated the Cowboys, I just hope they never figure out what they keep screwing up.

Yep, and add MLB, too, to direct the defense.

Would you have run that guy over for Rhule, Wilks and Tepper? Me, neither.

Screw it. Honestly, if the best player on your team is a WR, and also the highest paid, you've got nothing but troubles coming up. See Dallas. Develop receivers, grab FAs from the second round of grabs and draft here and there. It's an important position, but save draft capital for players involved in every single snap, such as QBs, o-line and d-line, LBs, DBs. A great receiver can break a game open. A big name receiver with a good agent can break the bank and the team's future.

He's been squirrel hunting, then skinning them before filleting and cooking them. That's what you do. Don't judge if you've ever taken a photo of the food you got at a restaurant or made at home.

Hard to argue that, but we are far from balanced offensively and defensively. And I know, we had a lot of problems, having been balanced before in how poorly the ENTIRE team played for the past five or so years.

If you take anything from Saturday's games, it's this: DEFENSE wins championships. We don't have a defense yet. We need to work on that more than anything right now.

First year wide receiver. How about we let the young man develop. Once upon a time, Randy Moss was just some dude with a heavy accent that could catch a ball. (Okay, you might have to go back to his Marshall days but...). Let XL get a couple of seasons under his belt before we label him, okay?
