    In fairness..........Brady played about 8-9 years before the violence was forcibly legislated out of the passing game by Goodell.

     

    Brady was tremendous at avoiding big hits.    

     

    Montana was very good at it but he did like to keep plays alive with his feet.........as evidenced by "The Catch"..........so just not as good at it as Brady.


    Montana threw not one, not two but Three bad picks in the legendary “catch” game. Probably would have been benched or behind three scores in today’s NFL.

    Kansas City has worse drafting positions than we do every year, but they rank 4th overall.  That pretty much falls on Beane and his college scouting dept.

     

    We used a second on Cook when there were decent OL available, they found Pacheco under our noses [Rutgers] for a 7th.


    the pressure of striking out with highly drafted RBs kicked in so they panicked and had to expend even more draft capital. 

  3. Starting with the Cleveland game where Diggs had zero targets 28 minutes in they tried to consciously develop secondary targets and the running game.  The O had become too Diggs centric and it was exposed in the first Jets game. For the most part it worked until Cincy. Offense was more balanced and there weee signs of a running game. 

  4. The people in charge of the Pro Bowl never seem to help themselves. Don’t they calculate that if they invite lousy players it will be more difficult to attract any names?  Thomas Dmitroff on Movin the Chains a few weeks ago confirmed that all NFL teams use PFF and saffold graded out as just about the worst in the whole league.

    like edmunds, oliver is a good player, but not a great player.

     

    great players make players around them better.  poy and maybe hyde last season, tre white for his singular best season.

     

    based on what we have seen this season on the DL, Von Miller and to a lesser extend Da'quon Jones are the DL we have who make the DL around them better.

     

    the sad part is we put so much into it and don't have much to show on the DL.

     

    the happy part is fair market value Free agents like jones can come in (and costly but good ones like miller) and simply improve our team.

     

    so we gotta find more of them, and while oliver is on the squad next season and i hope he gets 15 sacks, just like edumunds he only seems to make marginal improvements because he's getting tapped out in terms of his ability to impact.


     

    yes, we have a lot of these players.  And we are in the same situation with non qbs as qb purgatory teams like the Vikings who must pay the max for someone good not great.

    This defense feasts on weak teams. So stats can and do lie. If our offense gets a good jump on a team the D can go off. But when it’s a close game or they are playing a good team the D is a no show. It is usually like a 34-31 type of game, the O has to play lites out to pull out a win. When was the last time we won a game because of our D? The O didn’t show up Sunday and the D certainly was not capable of bailing them out! 
     

    anybody remember the Denver playoff game in Buffalo during the Super Bowl years? Carlton Bailey picked off a pass for a td. The bills win the game 10-3 or something like that? That’sa good D bailing out the offense on a bad day. 
     

    This current defense could do no such thing! if the offense don’t show up it’s a bad day at the office! No playmakers or no one put in position to make plays.


     

    D shut down Lamar and the Ravens in the wind/sleet playoff game ‘20
