Best response yet! :)

It's fine for us all to disagree, since we are making predictions for the future. I certainly hope that Love is better in 2024. I expect him to be better in 2024 and beyond. He has a much higher ceiling than Goff at this point. However, for as much as I was standing on a soapbox mid-season in...

I notice the subtleness there....

In this instance, I'm not sure why the Vikings are in last place. While Smith is aging and declining, he is still a very smart and capable safety. Bynum is better than Darnell Savage was for Green Bay. As for the Packers, our safeties have zero experience in our system and for the most part at...

Exactly my thought. I felt that Jordan Love played well even during the rough patch in the first half, but until he proves can sustain greatness...he is an unknown. Dantes - I think that you did a great analysis overall. However, knocking Goff down a notch because you don't know how they'll pay...

The legal system did it's job in both trials. It found him guilty in the civil trial and not-guilty in the criminal. What failed was the prosecutors in the criminal trial. The system did its job. I knew a lot of lawyers back then and remember hearing A LOT of harsh criticism, harsher than I'd...

I agree whole-heartily. There is not enough consistency in our roster/coaching staff to nail down a prediction. I'd widen the net to Top-15 by saying that any one of, or all of, our receiving corps could hit a sophomore slump (except the two that were already sophomores). I have tons of...

Some of Dillon's problems last year were for him to own, others were on LaFleur. IMO opinion Dillon has never done well when Jones is injured. He has to figure that out. We also had the coaching staff calling stretch running plays for Dillon. He does not have lateral speed and was often tackled...

I think that he was saying that he was "changed up," whatever that means. My assumption was always that it was one of those situations where you start the throwing motion and then change your mind, so you lose the ball early and it sails on you. Who knows. It was Brett and his early Louisiana...

Watch the whole thing to put a smile on your face. Go to the 5:10 mark if you have better things to do

That's an interesting way of assessing a roster. Obviously I'm not asking you to do this, but it would be even more insightful if put in comparison to all of the other teams. I think that your general assessments of each squad is pretty accurate. Nice work.

I thought it was 3-4 starters per draft. While looking for an article that supported my statement above, I found this interesting ESPN analysis that essentially analyzes the moving-up concept for the NFL overall. I disagree with some of their analysis but overall it is a good read...

Let's talk about CB for a moment. In the middle of the season, the law firm of Ballentine & Valentine did a pretty good job of covering top WRs. Should the be our top two corners? No. However, they showed that they have skills - and all of that was with marginal safeties. Now add Jaire and...

It's actually the reason that I felt Hafley might lobby for Gute t o bring him back on a 1yr deal to see if he could play at CB.

Here is the info that I have in my records from when Savage was drafted. One can understand why Thompson and other GMs were salivating over him. As often happens in sports it may be that we never put him at the correct position (CB), pushing him to be a safety when that wasn't setting him up for...
