Good thing the free people of Australia have a deep cache of private weapons to keep this tyrannical government in check.... Oh wait...

I wonder if that’s true for a coward? Aren’t they just happy to have lived, to hell with the consequences? i mean, I don’t want to presume his motive when he could have just frozen, but he’s alive, those kids aren’t, so he gets to live with his inaction. If he was willfully negligent then he probably gives no *****.

Our lovely governor (Virginia) is calling a special session for gun control trying to capitalize on the VA beach shooting. I’m researching if having a racist picture, or sexual assault accusation in my past increase my chance of keeping my constitutional rights.

But hey! the brightside of this is that these things are happening on his worst day... Last year his best days also included a lot of such examples!

Yolo making a bad day worse. Son of a b.

As far as Jim getting an actual job for the team, I think It’s better to keep the legends as outside observers and occasional consultants. Let them live in the glory days and give advice when needed. We don’t need another Marv fiasco.

Here’s 3 that haven’t been mentioned but I’d take any (in this order) George Kittle JJ Watt Quenton Nelson

You just agreed to my entire argument. They have different ceilings. If Rodgers developed a cannon arm that he didn't have in college it was because he had the potential to do that... Not everyone has that potential and not everyone has the same level of potential. My entire argument is that Allen has more potential than most other QB's do...

Mine before reading the article: QB: Jackson (obviously) Rb: Yeldon TE: Sweeney WR: Sills T: Waddle G: Boetger ? ? DE: D. Johnson DT: ? (Maybe Harry, who doesn’t get a ton of love anywhere but around here) LB: ? CB: Ryan Lewis S: Siran Neal

Lol. Yep. My bad. ?

You can heighten what exists, but you cannot teach it from nothing. No matter what Andy Dalton does, or how he trains, he will never be able to throw the ball with the velocity that Josh Allen can. That’s just how the world works. Allens physical ceiling is higher. If you subjected Josh Allen and Andy Dalton to the same exact regime, at the end of it Allen would run faster, jump higher, and throw the ball faster/stronger/further. That’s how athletic aptitude works. Raw athletic gifting has little value uneless properly channeled and used, but that’s the very point of my argument- Allen has more raw athletic talent than many other QB’s to ever step on a field.

I don’t know if Manning was ever an athletic freak, though I realize his arm is better than I ever thought at the time as I thought it was more cerebral skill than physical.

My main takeaway from this is that Daryl Johnson is a lanky dude...

Sweet! He shoulda challanged another coach though- he probably thought about challanging Andy Reid but realized Andy would misunderstand and just make a video of him eating eggs.

I like the way you put that “scab over” My understanding is that that this isn’t a wound that ever truly heals. It can fade, and maybe it’s not the dire grief anymore, but there are still things that bump against the scab and hurt, remind, and bring back a feeling of loss.

Size, speed, strength, for a QB, arm strength. Overall athletic gifted ness that cannot be taught.

This post reeks of white, male privilege.

Honest question... when looking at the whole person, athletically speaking, is Josh the best physical specimen to ever play QB? (I’m not homer-ing, just honestly wondering) Obviously he has his faults, and hopefully he fixes those issues, but has there ever been someone with the combination of altheticism and arm strength that he has? I feel like if you were building a QB entirely based on physical intangibles, he would be the mold.

16 years of fandom and it’s never felt like this... something in the northern air. Let’s go Bills!!!

I think the biggest problem for me is that rankings such as these have intrinsic within them a level of personal feeling... you know what I mean- when you watch a guy play and you just know, he’s got it. Our brain creates a ranking that is rarely definable, but is none-the-less true to us. That being said, having not seen Unitas and Starr personally, im missing that element.

Maybe this is age bias, but Peyton behind Johnny U seems like a stretch to me... I didn’t get to watch Unitas so I won’t fight for it, but it’s hard to believe.

Who cares how old he is? He's worshiped as a prodigy and he is a good coach and may have a great future, but he hasn't shown enough to be ranked as the second best coach in the NFL. Now, if the ranking is also taking into account potential for growth, that's fine. But He hasn't done more than Sean Peyton or Doug Pederson.

But what does it matter if they can't win the Superbowl? I think you're underrating the Superbowl win because of what it shows- Pederson outcoached the GOAT, McVey fell like a paper house before him. Its a unique look because it was the same dang team. More to the point, McVey did a good job turning them around, no doubt (though you have to wonder how much of that proves his predecessors complete BS), but last year they bought a team to be able to win. They went out and bought all of the pieces needed and came short. Meanwhile, Pederson did the job with a team absolutely depleated by injury. As far as Goff goes, the same team that made him look like a bust made Pederson's Superbowl MVP look like a bust too.. Pederson's regular season win % is .604 compared to McVay's .750. Pederson's playoff win % is .800 compared to McVay's .500 That paints an obvious picture to me... Pederson has won more when it's counted, and he's done it against the odds and with beat up rosters. Besides, as useful as this conversation has been, I think the disagreement is probably a toss up anyways- I just can't stand the hype for McVey. So I will agree to disagree with you as long as we can agree that Gase ranked anywhere above like 30 is a criminal act of idiocy.

And according to your argument that record without context is the determining factor, Mike McCarthy is a better coach than Bill Walsh. I'm saying that Pederson has accomplished more than McVey in the last two years by a huge margin when you look at the injuries and other issues he has overcome, and the main evidence of that fact is that he won the Superbowl against the very same team that bent McVey over. It's not just record, and It's not just Superbowls. It's the whole body of work. McVey is incredibly overrated.

I found this for you: http://www.espn.com/nfl/superbowl/history/winners LII Feb. 4, 2018 U.S. Bank Stadium (Minneapolis) Philadelphia 41, New England 33 LIII Feb. 3, 2019 Mercedes-Benz Stadium (Atlanta) New England 13, Los Angeles Rams 3 You can argue record if you want, but that one says all that needs to be said. Also, if you remove Pedersons first year with the team and only compare the past two years you end up with this final breakdown: Pederson: 26-11 McVey: 26-10
