Not familiar with this Greg guy but I do wish him luck. Talking about football for 4 hours is a very difficult let me correct myself extremely difficult job to do. The folks that can talk for hours deserve to be paid tens of millions of dollars.  Screw doctors, teachers and first responders they don't get and appreciate how hard it is to talk ball for hours. Godspeed Tom and Greg. True heroes.

Greg seems like good dude, and I think any of us would take the money that pro football provides. That being said, the way some fans worship these guys is embarrassing and clownish. They're just ball players, man

Did you watch the roast? No charisma at all from Brady

No, I didn’t. I am not really a popular culture guy, I saw a couple of clips. TBH he was probably very uncomfortable, I’ll leave that there.

People liked Romo at first because he did a great job anticipating the plays and translating that through to his audience. Maybe offering a fresh perspective.

I figured Brady might be pretty good at that type of thing too, bringing a QB insight into things. Maybe he just tells Gronk stories. And talks about how they did things.

I think giving Brady the #1 spot will be a huge mistake. The other mistake was giving Brady that insane contract, what a joke.

 

Greg was a natural and still finding his pace when he talks too much. He should get the #1 spot back when Brady is done after this year.

For people that give Brady a fair shake, I suspect he'll be fantastic and he'll attract a non-football audience that no one else can.  We all love Greg, but Brady's popularity is worldwide like Tiger Woods and there aren't many sports players in the world that have this kind of draw.

I still think there is a difference, which will interesting to see play out.  Brady wasn’t a beloved GOAT.  I mean most, not saying there weren’t anti-Tiger folks, but the majority were rooting for him.  Same with a Jordan.  I think most people rooted against Brady.

I don't even believe New England fans like Brady's personality. They were kinda celebrating his arrogance towards the end but I think they dropped that bit when he dumped them.

He'll probably be ok but what will make it insufferable is the entire network slobbing on his knob constantly

I was mostly anti Bill and Kraft. Those guys were the real villains to me. Brady was a 5th round cool story. I did hate the Pats and I did enjoy him getting messed with over deflated footballs.

But the guys doing the real cheating were the ones in charge. 

They have dry run test announcing, people who analyze the demographics, production staff that helps them, prepare. I don’t think they’s have made such a big play if he really had no aptitude.

But maybe he will totally suck.

Brady is an incredibly unlikeable guy who dumped his pregnant girlfriend, pushed crypto scams and was often seen whining to refs and screaming at teammates. I think most sports fans not from Boston or Tampa don’t like him.  He’s not as hated as Rodgers, but not far behind.

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
