RandyMarsh Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) Parade size aside its weird how time works, it felt like the Rams were in STL for so much longer than 5 years when they won and I can't believe they have already been back in LA for 6 seasons now.

LA has more homeless people than people who showed up for that parade. Not trying to be funny, but it's true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The NFL did just fine without Los Angeles for 20 years so I really don't care about their market size. I dunno that it was LA feeling entitled as much as it was the NFL wanting to the LA market. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sagnam Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 Kevin O’Connell envisions a 3-man defensive front for the Vikings This is good news. Always great to see a new coach come and an pick a scheme regardless of the current roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always great to see a new coach come and an pick a scheme regardless of the current roster. I don't think the 3-4 / 4-3 distinction means as much as it did 10-20 years ago. Almost every NFL team nowadays uses the nickel (4-2-5) as their primary base package. The only exception I can think of is the Packers, who AFAIK still use more dime (4-1-6). Whether you envision that 4th up-man with their hand in the dirt like a DE (in the 4-3) or you keep them upright like an OLB (in the 3-4), their purpose is generally the same at the end of the day. In a perfect world that 4th man is crashing in on runs like a DE and creating pressure on passes like an OLB, no matter what you call them. How you start doesn't matter if you can finish in the backfield. That said, O'Connell coming in as a supposed offensive guru and picking a defensive scheme a half second after he's picked a defensive coordinator is a little alarming if I am a Vikings fan. Good thing I'm not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hongbit Posted February 18, 2022 Share Posted February 18, 2022 It’s a good thing that franchise QBs are hard to find because that’s all Minnesota is missing from having the most explosive offense in the. NFL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, I'm not going to comment on the vaccine thing but I do think it's unfair to say he doesn't win. Yeah he's "only" won one SB but he has put the Packers in position to get there several times which they otherwise wouldn't have without him.

He's top five, possibly the most valuable, but he's not the best. I agree that no one player can win a Super Bowl (or even a playoff game for that matter - see Stafford). If I were a Green Bay supporter though, I would be so sick of this limbo, and this narrative that he'll make a decision when he makes a decision. He's had good teams. He's made one Super Bowl in his career. I don't think he's earned the "wait in awe" that he seems to be expecting like Lebron when he took his talents to South Beach. I can blame the media, but he's the one releasing this to the media. He's the one telling everyone about his cleanse on Pat McAfee. I'm not debating that a bunch of teams would love to have him, but I wouldn't want my team holding out our future, our front office, and everything we have because he doesn't know what he wants to do.

Jason_R Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Would Rodgers be in limbo if the Packers had not picked his replacement? Would the Packers have had an early end to their season if they had picked a guy like Tee Higgins (or literally anyone else left on the board) instead of Love? I dislike Rodgers as much as the next Lions fan but it must be hard to give a team MVP level performance then get knifed in the back by a FO that is too clever for its own good. Say what you will about the Rams and Bucs, their front offices wanted to win and went all in to get their QBs and build teams around them. The Packers FO should be all in on its home grown HOF QB but instead just wants to remain above average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe I’m wrong here but hard to compare the two trades because Stafford’s success with the Rams increased what Denver was willing to pay for a franchise QB.

Mr.TaterSalad Posted March 8, 2022 Share Posted March 8, 2022 This is a great trade for both the Broncos and Seahawks. Seattle needs to rebuild and Denver is a QB away from being a legit playoff contender. That AFC West is going to be incredibly competitive with Mahomes, Herbert, Carr, and now Wilson all in one division playing QB. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's kind of the point. Denver didn't make a serious offer for Stafford and watched him go to the Rams and win a Super Bowl. Now they are left paying through the nose for Wilson. I bet the Colts are feeling the same way after dealing a 1st for Wentz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
