Dr. Who

I'm not sure you could be more depressing, but keep at it.

Well, I don't see it either. I used to think I had some knowledge of football -- I've been watching for over 45 years. But then the internet came and folks started talking x and o's; I don't know if they are coaches, played themselves or if it is Madden. I am such a luddite, I have never played Madden. So now I am less confident I know what I am talking about. Watson does look like a great prospect to me. At the beginning of the year, I feared he would be a top two pick and we would have no chance. I still think qb value will be inflated by the time the draft occurs, but I hope Watson is there and I hope we take him.

I like him a lot, Wagon, but the naysayers seem to think he is Taylor 2.0. I'd be enthused if we got him.

Yes, I agree with this.

Well stated. I am ambivalent on Whaley. On balance, I think he is slightly above average, though evaluation of qbs is a question mark. I wish he placed accuracy more evidently in his top criteria. The innuendo that he is behind the leaks and actively subverts coaches is troubling if true. I do believe he will make choices that he believes are most likely to result in a winning team. Catfights and calculations to maintain power are meaningless when it is crystal clear the team needs to win or he is out.

Brady makes the offense automatically better than the sum of its parts. Patricia has been doing excellent work with a cast that keeps changing. I'm inclined to think he is the real deal. He's near the top of my list, at any rate.

Better take two bullets, just in case there is a Dan Carpenter moment.

+1. Consistently good takes.

Damn, I'm fifty-two. Guess I can only wear jeans one more year. Bummer.

Agree with your hope. This is spot on.

Not sure Kane has the discipline to dial it back. It would be great if he could be more prudent in his aggression.

Selectively petty and sensitive. You can still routinely paint the entire South as bigoted and get away with it. Christians are actually victims of genocide in the Middle East right now, but hardly anyone knows about it or says anything. The possibility that some drunk fans made a poor joke about Muslims, however, provokes outrage.

I think the fans should sing the national anthem whenever the 49ers have the ball. Kaep will have to keep taking a knee.

Well, I think it implicitly draws in the political context. It's asking a lot in an election year for the kind of abstract neutrality that is hypothetically posed. And I rather doubt it would be an issue if Rex had not aligned himself with Trump.

Well, move this one then if its so divisive. I haven't made any specific comments on politics. I've only noted that the OP is obviously meant to be centered around a political context.

Okay, so don't post a thread that is political. It's ridiculous to be offended when people respond in kind.

I think this is the main point. The Bills seem to like Rex. Showing up on victory Mondays or whatever they are called implies cohesion as a team and enthusiasm to excel. all the rest is silliness.

The OP is about a topic that is intrinsically tied to a political context. People are naturally going to comment in those terms. Either the thread should be moved to the forum you desire so that your feelings are kept safe or one should man up.

Unclear how fielding an unproductive offense enhances one's own future opportunities.

I hate fantasy football. I actually won a league years ago and felt compelled to stay another year so the other fellas would have a chance to beat me. Fortunately, I lost in the championship game and retired. It was no fun watching football with an eye on all the other games for individual performances. I just want to root for my team and against the enemy. Simple and much more rewarding. I almost feel there is something vaguely unethical in the way fantasy football destroys rooted loyalties.

This is almost completely wrong. Alexander will not get benched the way he is playing. Z. Brown will likely be extended before the end of the year if he keeps playing like he is. Lawson will be rotated in. Players will be fresh. With Brown's speed, you could use him as a third safety monster type. No one is going to let that kind of talent walk when he is showing he is one of the most productive players on the team. Ragland may end up replacing P. Brown eventually. Who knows, but luckily DW knows defense.

Nicely done.

I don't see Meyer leaving Ohio State. I think McDaniels might do better with his second team.

Don't see why Chan would make a lateral move from the Jets, but I like Patricia as a head coach candidate.

I dunno. Who is supposed to have initiated it, Whaley?
