  1. Elway was mobile and a good runner but he didn’t rely on his legs nearly as much as Allen does. Elway was more like Andrew Luck.
  2. Has Flores ever been a DC? At any rate, he’s not going to take that job. I think he’ll land one of the current HC openings…
  3. True, but I’m not sure that was an analytics-based decision…
  4. This is the real drawback with football analytics: How reliable are numbers upon which you are basing your decisions? And as many have pointed out, every situation is different. If your defense has been unable to stop a Pat Mahomes, then you’re probably going to be more inclined to go for it on 4th down to keep the ball away from him late in the game. In my view, the best thing about analytics is that it has caused coaches to think about every decision in a fresh light, instead of automatically doing what every other coach has done since time immemorial. Here’s one I’d love to see more often: You score a touchdown and on the scoring play or the extra point, the other side gets a 15-yard personal foul that is enforced on the kickoff. Why don’t you go for a surprise onside kick? You’re kicking from midfield so the worst that happens is the other team gets it on their own 35…and the chances of recovering a surprise onside kick are very good. But no one ever does it.
  5. I don’t think the picks come from the team that signs him. I believe they are comp picks at the end of the round.
  6. Raiders, Jags, Fish, Bears, Broncos, Vikes. possible other openings: Panthers, Giants, Seahawks, Texans Washington FT?
  7. Seems like Flores was bitter over the Tua situation and just couldn’t get over it…can’t say I blame him…I’m sure he never wanted him.
  8. Funny how these coaches’ futures are tied to the QBs they find themselves with. The Dolphins’ decision to draft an injured midget instead of Justin Herbert is going to haunt that franchise for a long time.
  9. Best news of the day for the Bills
  10. Not possible to play them week 1 though, right?
  11. Texans giving TEN trouble…does this game matter to us?
  12. He is, but Wentz is a coach-killer.
  13. I do. The Chargers will be coming to the East Coast and playing in conditions they’re not comfortable with at all.
  14. Jags gonna lose. Can’t settle for FGs like that twice in one half.
  15. If your QB’s psyche is that fragile, you’ve got bigger problems…
  16. Touchdowns tend to help a quarterback’s confidence.
