I'm wondering about the cap ramifications. If Hoecht has a $3m base salary for '25, presumably we get $1m+ cap relief (6/17 of that for which he's out). Ogunjobi seems to be $8.3m (w/ $8m guaranteed) w/ no bonus for just '25, so that presumably saves us almost $3m in cap savings. Yes?

We didn't necessarily just "flush it down the toilet". Granted, the benefit we got from him this year was negligible & he may quite possibly sign elsewhere. But, if he does... depending on what we do elsewhere WRT Free Agent signings & losses, we may very well be entitled to compensation if he signs elsewhere. Doubtful it'll be a 3rd round, but if it's a 4th you got a contributor for a fraction of a season which served as a "tryout" for next season (I don't think you should discount this benefit) tghat seems like a worthwhile trade, even if the compensatory pick is delayed a year.

1st person came to mind was "Friggin Lonnie" (Johnson). Next who immediately came to mind & others have mentioned is BJ Hobart. Peterman played one game where I think he was literally the worst statistical QB ever.

Interesting that it said "fired", rather than "parting ways", or something similar. Granted, it's a reporter rather than an official source. Curious what is said when the Bills announce it.

I think one question is - why would you want to? The idea is to get someONE open. Doesn't matter who. Yes, you'd rather have someone wide open 30 yds downfield as opposed to 3, but it's much easier to take what the defense gives you. If you're trying to "scheme" that guy open 30 yds downfield, that is much easier accomplished if the defense doesn't know who you're gonna throw it to. Look at the success throwing to Diggs as opposed to Shakir or Kincaid the end of '23. Shakir was FAR more successful - more completions for more yards on far less attempts.

Most memorable commercial ever IMO. Definitely got your attention.

I would tend to think not, but he doesn't make a case for good performance so it is possible. We weren't very good on defense & again crumbled when the going got tough. A couple of relevant points is how much is this Babich's doing & how much McDermott. Related, firing him would be a case of do as I say, not as I do.

$9M for a part-time player that isn't overly dominant & IMO is more aptly described as "good" is an extravagance where the cap space could better be put elsewhere.

# of times the Chiefs let up more than 25 pts this season? 4, 2x against the Bills & once against their "B" team. # of times the Chiefs scored more than 30 pts in a game this season? Once; you know when.

I thought we were going to be discussing some Klingon delicacy.

Allen, Mahomes & Jackson is a fair comparison & it confirms the eye test. As for Brady, much of his career was in a different era, so of course you have to take into consideration inflation

Has a coordinator ever been fired during the playoffs? Asking for a friend.

We really need to add a sarcasm font. :DOH:

For their rookie years, I think Mayfield looked the best & being the 1st overall was justified. Likewise, Darnold showed signs of talent though very much played "rookie like".

Damn, I meant to check, but never got around to it. I watch it on an "alternate Feed" I think by virtue of it being CBS, rather than Fox, they have far less allegiance to the Giants & NFC that was likely the reason.
