If he plays out the contract about 2% ish on average… so completely spot on average for a 53 man roster? im not losing sleep

I’d buy “low floor” as he might not do much, but “high downside” isn’t my favorite as there’s not a ton of downside even if he flops

tyrod got us to the playoffs, what if Josh is worse?!? in hindsight obviously a funny take, but as a logical deduction, it’s similar. If you don’t think you have the guy to win the Super Bowl, you have to go find the guy. You may get the wrong Josh but at least you are trying to find the right one.

if you truly believe he is the problem, do you not risk HC remaining a problem for the opportunity to potentially solve it? ”this is never going to work but trying to fix it might not work” is a terrible reason to stay put. again, that only if you believe he is the problem.

except by his phrasing he made it also about the others and by proxy about himself with the hot take. what he said: dak is a better leader than… what he could have said: dak is a tremendous leader beas will do it over and over as he gets a kick out of throwing bombs instead of simply being a great leader himself.

I don’t think there’s much rage about it but I do think folks think beasley goes out of his way to stoke fires for attention while also playing victim… which isn’t a particularly endearing quality. he quite literally has called himself out for being an idiot that can’t handle social media and the like, even prior to covid “dak is a great leader- I’m excited to see CJ play” is real easy… you know, unless you actually are looking for the attention on you, instead of dak or cj

or his just trying to grab attention. coles feeling bored and lonely…

you can’t cheer for the other lovable loser. If they win, suddenly you are left behind with you core team being the sad story left with 4 losses.

Are you implying that Josh did not actually get diggs pregnant?

I don’t disagree- I just think it’s the reality of where we are, with the team likely having one splash move left coming out of the draft and the Hopkins situation turning on them. I suspect he was plan an and Floyd was plan b. if there’s anything that my gut puts as a disclaimer on the defense comments - I think a reliably impactful pass rush is about the best you can hope for an ROI with. A sack or pressure are about the only way to get the ball back from an elite offense, so in a shootout, I’ll take pass rushers if investing. But even that’s a challenge.

I’ve come to terms with Hopkins being plan A, and when the price went up we pulled the trigger on Floyd instead as the next most impactful way to spend

Can someone lecture me asap about how vital these events are

feels like you said you understand what you are seeing but didn’t actually breakdown anything you thought he did well beyond a ranking improving. what do you think he excelled at schematically?

it’s indeed possible, though let’s also say there’s a good chance Josh isn’t calling the team for a domestic dispute the night before a playoff game. Maybe…. but I’ll say a lot less of the “off the record” stuff happens with on duty officers than it once did. There are far too many ways for it to blow up into something even bigger. photos of a cop at the house or his gf making a comment and “where’s the paperwork on this” or “what were you doing showing up at a private residence off duty” gets messy fast. Police were dispatched to joshs house is a bold statement though. And if this guys hearing it from two unrelated sources it’s not a good secret. So I’m doubting it’s true.

the call is still logged as incoming in the 911 system. Body cams are public record, assuming BPD uses them. Police sweep much less under the rug than they once were able to.

calls are public record boss - you’d have the documentation and not just sketchy comments

as both will be here, power plays in June will only go so far. Hopefully not total lack of faith in him as that would be worse than most possibilities

I do not think diggs was in 1-1 or 2-2 meetings for several hours.

would be real easy for him to show up, make a couple snarky comments, get asked to meet, call his agent up, make some more snarky remarks about stuff not working for about five minutes before leaving out, agent has a semi cryptic call with beane about needing appreciation and then repeat the next day. I really wouldn’t be shocked if it’s like 3-4 interactions totaling like 30 mins combined and not some deep and thoughtful review of serious issues while creating organizational action plans together.

and you would be the first person to tell the story in that format. It’s always “found out” man. Kills the credibility when they can’t figure out what it is, but swear they know it happened

All I know is it was used multiple times last season, and even if true that it happened, she didn’t find out 4 times. And it wasn’t news to us in April when it landed a bit harder without the other distractions

unless he’s retiring or sitting out games and ruining his own legacy, he has very little leverage

he literally can’t get out so the “if he wanted out” speculation from some is totally misreading the chess board.

plot hole: the internet knew that rumor in November, so I doubt “she found out” I’m January

I suspect that was probably brief and in passing, not 16 hours in a room hashing things out
