If you were as bad at your job as Jake Delhomme is at his

As NFL QB is one of the toughest, most complex jobs out there it's kinda silly to compare.

If we had a suitable replacement, I'm sure it would have been done already. A few more stinkers and it will be done regardless.

I am a professional tree trimmer. If we make many mistakes and we may get the chance to live and tell about them. Hell the one wrong mistake and we will not live to tell. I dont wanna hear how freaking hard his job is! His job is PIE compared to mine.

That must be why there are so many people who can play QB in the NFL and so few tree trimmers.

Sorry but just because a job is more dangerous does not make it harder and certainly not more complex.

I'm sure you could take a good 20 healthy young people randomly and have well over half of them trimming trees with aplumb within a few weeks. I would bet huge sums of money not a one of them could play NFL QB even after a year.

I can prolly train any averger person to trim a plain apple tree. I have only seen very few i would have up in a 400 foot Redwood with me in the 21 years i been climbing because of the complex decisions, timing of them, and knowing how to keep your self safe in any given situation. The job is just as physical as NFL Football if you are doing more than just your neighbors cherry trees.

are you really, seriously, trying to say cutting twigs off some dumbass pine tree is harder than playing in the NFL?

    • Went back and calculated for you since I knew you'd probably reply with something along these lines. From what I can see, the comparison is fairly equal. Since the 2014 season, Duke has an overall record of 68-62 (.523) while UNC-CH has a record of 71-62 (.533). In that timeframe, UNC-CH has appeared in 8 bowl games with a record of 1-7 in those games. Duke has been to 6 and has a record of 5-1 in those games. While UNC has more bowl appearances, their futility in them can't be overlooked. From most objective measures UNC-CH and Duke have been pretty equal programs over the past decade. There is one caveat, that being that UNC has 2 ACCG appearances to Duke's 0, however Duke's latest ACCG appearance was in 2013 which misses the 10 year timeframe by 1 year. So I guess you could say UNC-CH has been slightly better, but if so it's not by a very noticeable margin.  That clearly wasn't the intent of bringing up the fact that Duke has won more recently. This was to provide evidence to the notion that "UNC is competing for ACC titles every year" seems a bit silly when you haven't won one in 44 years nor do you appear in them all that frequently. I mean, you really think a team that is mainly being elevated by a star QB would have a chance against Bama or Clemson that has 5 stars and top flight coaching all over the roster? There's a reason UNC-CH barely broke into the top 10 when they had a record of 6-0 in 2023. Same story in 2022. Everyone knew it, including the pollsters. Except y'all, apparently.  Of course, I never argued otherwise. Having an entire season hinge around a rivalry game is pretty pathetic, you won't find any argument from me here. Huh? A post ago, you were just saying that nothing before 2005 counted. So which is it? It seems like your timeframes are jumping around. Yeah, our record in the 90s and 00s was pretty awful. Against everyone, not just y'all. Don't think any Duke fan would argue the Ted Roof days were a golden age.  
    • Everything is measured in championships bro.  No im not, I don’t expect Duke to win one.  I know what we are.  I’m enjoying the hell out of 5-0, if they don’t win another game, I’m happy for what we got. To you’re SEC dude, I’ll find the article where 16 of the SEC members have to be in agreement for any expansion and 14 have already said NO to ANY ACC school, including FSU and Clemson this why they are back at the table with negotiations with the ACC.
    • Paul Finebaum is a clown. This dude trashed Prime a week ago, then today he goes on Nat'l tv and apologizes and says Prime might have them in the Big 12 championship lmao   These TV personalities are characters take what they say with a grain of salt.
