No one ever advocated a lottery strategy to find a QB. Someone said the current scouting methods "don't allow them to fall through the cracks", because they are so great at it. This is BS and has been removed now by that person. The wolfpack has twisted this all over the place. Thanks for sharing probability with us, no one else on here had any idea about that. Learn something new everyday.

Kirby changed his original post that stated guys don't sneak through the cracks anymore, therefore Lomardi1 argument was invalid. Boy do you have a lot to learn. I'm done boys.

I'll try one last time. Lombardi1 used the Lombardi-Starr example. Kirby argued that doesn't happen now because scouting-technology won't allow them to "slip throught the cracks". My point is that it can and does. He cherry-picked number 75 pick because Russell Wilson was the 75th pick. It happened 3 years ago! It happened with Brady at the beginning of this generation, which I realize you think that this a long, long time ago. But it isn't. And, don't forget Tony Romo. Nobody is arguing that the odds are better below the first round!

His point was no one slips through the cracks. So out of 12 you have a 3rd, a 6th and an undrafted. That's 25%. It happens more than you think. BTW, Russell Wilson did slip through-every team passed on him, not once but twice.

I agree the QB is more important now than 40-50 years ago. You are going over the top in saying that no one slips through the cracks anymore. We all know the examples Brady, Warner etc. Love that about the Pegulas.

Ease Up Man. Just providing a little humor to the situation. I know it can get worse, that is always possible. I'm not panicking though and I'm confident we can make it work. Trust me.

This! This my friend. Is not possible. RELAX

http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/1/8/7510849/mike-shanahan-49ers-head-coach-candidate-odds-gambling Is there anything to this? I also hear Rex's odds of going to Falcons are moving that way. http://www.ninersnation.com/2015/1/7/7512195/dan-quinn-looking-at-kyle-shanahan-as-offensive-coordinator-according Could the Jets actually go for Dan Quinn with Kyle S as OC?

Doug why did it take so long to get Urbik in the starting lineup? Did he bang your wife or mother?

Doug when is your exit interview?

I wish some on here would realize we don't have to "beg" someone to come here and coach the team. Jeez do you really want someone who doesn't really have his heart in the team. The interviews are for both sides to get acquainted and see if there is any fit. Any coach worth having knows we have EJ, and he either believes or doesn't. If he doesn't then he needs to shows us his plan for QB. Please don't act like we have to kiss butt to get a coach here.

Agreed. I have seen more conflicting reports the last few days. There is some major spinning going on by both sides.

Yeah I think some may be selling him short due to speculation about his role.

By virtue of really nothing other than good fortune in choosing a marital partner Nah

Having Kim in the interviews in a great thing. I have found that having a female opinion during interviews can be very useful to the process!

Good call. Missed on a big one. Should be just ahead of Belichick.

Doug Marrone's credibility ranking. Least credible throughout history. 1. Adolph Hitler 2. Josef Stalin 3. Doug Marrone 4. Any North Korean dictator 5. Isis 6. Jerry Sullivan 7.......... Ok I know I'm over the top on this one. Starting to lose it over this guy. And to think I tried the best I could to believe and support him. Fooled again by a dishonest, self-centered, jerk. When will I learn not to be so gullible. Doug Marrone has no credibility with me, and should have none within the decent hardworking people of the world. I feel better now.

Thanks for link BBB! I'm still thinking the chances of this happening are greater in Chicago.

Agreed. Without knowing the exact plan the Bills have in mind and having to rely on speculation and rumors, I don't believe he is going to be the HC.

That may have been more about opportunity.

Good point about regression of players. You can make a BOLD argument that none of our offensive players improved.

Did you ever notice how often NE gets PI plays downfield on 3rd and very long? Other teams like BAL as well. We never took advantage of the rules!

I like this. Not pointed out enough on here. I would also add that this follows along with creating more big "Splash" plays. Very hard to play it as conservative as this past season was played. Trying to spend 12-14 plays and 6-7 minutes moving the ball downfield slowly with little risk.

Saw the same thing. Doesn't exactly inspire confidence that he is over his problem. He is however probably the best talent scout out there. Glad he's not in AFC East.

Marrone > Daniel Day-Lewis
