Granted, we're only seeing the highlights... but what I did like in that video was Porter was often looking back at the QB while running with a receiver.

I wonder if Denise had any input on the hiring of Jones.

My problem with this pick is that his first name is O'Cyrus... I'd be totally on board with this if his name was Osiris.

I would agree... looked him up on Wiki and he's got experience at many levels/positions. WR coach in both college and NFL, OC and "associate head coach" at Duke, Head Coach for two year at East Carolina (though not with good results), and RB for 2 years with the Colts.

I'll save this for future reference.

Bah... he wasn't fired. “Dre and [UNC] mutually agreed to part ways so that he could explore other opportunities in the coaching profession." Clearly Bly knew he was ready for the next step so... On a side note Quinn has no coaching experience from what I can tell. Has he expressed any interest in coaching? I've listened to his podcast a few times and he seems knowledgeable. Obviously that doesn't mean he would make a good coach, but if he expressed interested I'd be all for bringing him in at a lower level to see how he did.

Not really... we're just saying you made your point wrong. You should have said something more along the lines of: Goff's numbers in Detroit this year are better than any QB's numbers from Chicago ever. On a side note, given how much the league has changed, I wonder how modern records would stack up against previous years. I almost wish we had a converter like we do with the value of a dollar.... like a salary of $10,000 in 1950 would be the equivalent to over $123K in today's money. Given the changes in rules and strategies I don't think anyone questions that there is more passing today than in years past... not to mention that there are more games now too. Maybe if I'm bored sometime I'll put together a spreadsheet of total passing yards per year divided by the number of teams and then get a ratio of year to year. Obviously it would be very imperfect but might be a way to at least sorta compare different eras.

Yeah I couldn't quite believe it myself, but sure enough... one win at home, week 7. They had one stretch with 3 home games in a row (with a bye mixed in) and lost all three times. That could really demoralize a fan base!

This came up in my facebook feed. The person proposing it was looking for the Jets to draft a QB. It's an interesting idea... depending on who's on the board I would be tempted.

Dang but that's an ugly logo.

I'm saying with how bad the Bears OL and WR core are his stats would have been significantly lower. I'm not dumping on Goff, I'm dumping on the Bears offense.

So it could be a lateral move for Staley... he might be "just" the assistant HC and/or RB coach in Carolina.

No he wouldn't... because if Goff played this year on the Bears he wouldn't have nearly the same product he had with the Lions.

For the record, I agree with you on the last part for the reason stated. But, purely as hypothetical thought experiment... what if: 1.) Jared Goff announces his surprise retirement. 2.) Ben Johnson, Dan Campbell and the rest of the coach staff come up to you (playing the role of Brad Holmes) and say: "We know what's stopping Fields from being a better passer and we can, at the very least, make him a league average passer in 2023." Now... assuming that the coaching staff is telling the truth... do you do it? I mean in our silly scenario you're probably going to spend one of your first round pick on a QB anyway.

Here's the proposed trade: Now, looking JUST at the trade... nothing else... not looking at if the Bears would do it would the Lions actually be interested in Field as their QB... looking at just the assets being traded... it's intriguing. I was expecting some weird way over the top trade but this is "reasonable" I think for the Fields. If I was a team in a need for a QB and I felt that Fields would improve as a passer with a better team around him, I would probably be willing to spend that draft capital on him. BUT I'm not sure I believe that Fields will be a better passer and I don't believe that QB is a need for the Lions right now.

I hope not. Just like with BenJo, I hope he sticks around for another year at least to help with consistency.

I get this strange feeling that Brady is gonna go to 49ers and play another year while mentoring Purdy. Who better than a former 6th round pick to mentor a 7th round pick?

WTF?!? Does someone actually think this is a good deal for the Jets? The likely defensive ROY from last year, Williams and TWO 1sts for an aging QB?? I mean, if I'm the Packers I'm doing that deal instantly. No question at all.

Looking at Ford Field's website: There's no other dates listed other than "several weekends." Again according to Ford Field's site, the next scheduled event is 6/9 (Taylor Swift show) so I don't see any potential conflicts for a while.

I suspect that Brown could easily be a starting center for a lot of team and if there's a team that needs/wants him, he'll get a lot more money being a starting center than a backup guard/center. He'd probably get more money being a starting center than even a starting guard.

I love how they said it's a record $224 million. Like duh... it goes up (nearly) ever year. Each new year is a new record except twice in the history of the NFL salary cap. Since 1994, when it first started, there are only been two years when the cap was less than what it was before. In 2009 the cap was $123M. In 2010 there was no cap. In 2011 with the new CBA in place the cap was put back and it was set at $120.6M. In 2020 the cap was $198.2M but in 2021 it dropped to $182.5M because of impact of the pandemic. In 2022 it went up to $208.2M, surpassing the 2020 number.

I'm kinda built like Jabba the Hutt, and VW make the Jetta, so... that's kinda close, right?

You might be right, I dunno... I suspect (at least initially) that some might push the envelope a bit. I can see some runners maybe dancing a little bit to try and distract the pitcher more. It might very well be that in a year (or less) this all settle down and has virtually no impact on that game because runners aren't doing things different and pitchers aren't doing things differently. However, even if that happens I think it's worth noting that rule doesn't effectively "get in the way" of the game in any meaningful way, at least that I can see. It's very possible, even likely, that at the end of the season we'll say: "Eh... it fixed a very minor problem without making the game worse." If that's the worst that can be said of it at the end of the year that's still a win (a minor win) imho.
