You have to read through all their nonsense. It's basically about marketability.

See above.

If it wasn't the fuging fully guaranteed salary, he'd probably be gone. I'm somewhat glad to see Rhule have to eat his roster spot though. Put your Matt Stafford clone out there again, you fuging clown.

We (The Emory Marketing Analytics Center and Fanalytics Podcast) pay special attention to the NFL because it showcases important lessons about consumer passion (fandom), and we can illustrate the power of analytics for sports and marketing. Guys, this is about marketability. Don't lose sight of that. This isn't a ranking of how hardcore the fanbases are.

I mean the only guy that probably isn't better than Darnold on that list is Lock. Still debatable. People see Darnold's million dollar skills and it blinds them from his 10 cent brain. If he ever adjusts to the NFL, at the current rate of "progress" it will take well into his 30's.

Yeah, a lot of things have to go our way for this turnaround, even with competent FO and HC moves. I don't think most fans appreciated how bad our roster was after the 2019 purge. Truthfully, it's debatable how much it has improved since then. We really need these 2020-2022 guys to be good. Not just the first round guys. We need some of these other picks to pan out, as well. Otherwise this will be a very, very bad team.

This would have more applicability to Tepper than the fans. This is about marketability which we are the primary factor not so much the primary beneficiary.

Russell would likely have been successful anywhere he was given a chance to start but he wouldn't be a Super Bowl champion without those other elements. Even the greatest of QB's isn't gonna drag a team to but so much success. Look at Brady in Tampa. He plopped into a ready-made team to get his last title. That team was stacked with talent. Stafford and the Rams. This roster is pretty thin on talent and VERY thin on experience. So the ceiling is naturally going to be very low.

A great QB might be able to mask out issues but I don't think even the rosiest of rosy views is banking on Corral to be a great QB and especially as a rookie. It would be awesome but it's not very realistic. Even the unrealistic Russell Wilson example everyone is so attached to, he took 2-3 seasons to really dial it in.

Eh....IDC about the amount of goals scored, just if the games are good. I also don't want to see any good Hurricanes games. I will take as many comfortable 3+ goal victories as possible.

I mean, it's fun to watch as long as your team isn't getting shelled like that.

This Calgary/Edmonton game is fuging insane.

One series at a time. Only up 1-0. Get this Game 2 win and go from there.

I saw Ian Cole shoot the puck and then I passed out as blood rushed to my penis suddenly. What happened?

Keep the momentum up and it's just a matter of time. Just have to limit the big mistakes.

Jarvis is a core player, IMO.

If we win this one. Watch out.

Up it. Get even more

I have zero hope in the 6 on 5 so we need something soon. Fading a little bit. Wish we had seen three periods of this effort.

Gotta keep this pressure up. Great turnaround effort. Just gotta get one to go in.

I mean....there isn't much of an option. The alternative is probably wasting another gem of a home game by Rannta. This is actually fuging embarrassing.

Anderson has 0 goals scored this season. I don't expect him to be able to help us much in the way we need help.

Trashing Rod is fuging ridiculous.

Well, it's going to take a Hurculean effort to pull this out. Never thought I would say that about a 1-0 hole. Wow. Even with the couple of solid chances at the end, this is unbelievably one sided.
