Oh boy, Pete gave a score of 69! What a rascal (comedic genius).

Iā€™m out. Click.

Mac Jones is a top 10 NFL QB right now, with room to grow. The offense is just that bad

Thatā€™s a Carolina reaper-level take.

I had a response typed out but decided that heā€™s trolling and deleted it

Top 10 QBs who are participating in this yearā€™s pro bowl? The Baltimore backup sneaks in too

Bad read

Youā€™ve just got to remember that AQ, especially when he is a couple beers in, is the biggest Bama slappy there is.

Ooof Jets

So if Iā€™m understanding that correctly, the Jets had the most ā€œdraft capitalā€ over the last 4 years, and went negative with it.

So the x-axis represents the total value of picks you had (number/quality of picks), and the y-axis represents whether you went above EV or below EV?

Rams had little capital, and did poorly with it. Jets a ton of capital, and did poorly with it. Dolphins had a good amount of capital and did well with it? Belichick vomited his picks like always? Kind of cool.

I feel like this is one of those graphs that should have a diagonal line as the median outcome. So in reality the Rams might have slightly beat expectations, and holy cow the Jets.

Vikings being there is not surprising at all :harold:

I think theyā€™re 0 for everything on their DB draft picks in this decade

The raiders the hardest to figure? Bad coaching? Lots of dead capital and they got good value from them.

The Rams through it all in and it worked. No wonder McVay thought seriously about stepping away.

I donā€™t get the Y-axis. 4, 5, 6, 6, 6, 7, 8, 8?

Iā€™m still on Team Tom Will Probably Be a Bad Announcer, but this Belichick quote gives us some hope:

ā€œTom talks about how much I taught him in those meetings, but I learned so much from Tom, because I never played quarterback and I never saw the game through the quarterbackā€™s eyes. I saw it through a coachā€™s eyes, and what Tom would tell me that he saw and how he saw it, it was incredible how during the game heā€™d come off and Iā€™d say, ā€˜What happened on that play?ā€™ and heā€™d go through eight things that happened. ā€˜The tackle flashed in front of me. This guy slipped. I saw the linebacker drop wide. The safety was a little deeper than I thought he would be. Then this guy stepped in front, and I kind of put it a little bit behind him because I saw this other guy closing.ā€™ And then you would go back and look at the film, and every one of those things happened in the exact sequence that he explained it to you on the field coming off. Iā€™m like, ā€˜This guy sees everything.ā€™

ā€œHe sees the rush, he sees the routes, he sees the coverage, he sees the depths, and he sees a lot of things pre-snap. When we had the meetings that Tom referred to, we would go over fundamentals, weā€™d go over game plans, weā€™d go over situational football, watch other teams play through situations. And I remember so many situations that came up in games where Tom would refer back to, ā€˜Yeah, thatā€™s what we talked about a few weeks ago when we watched the Detroit-Atlanta gameā€™ or ā€˜Yeah, remember when they ran this play in this situation two years ago?ā€™

ā€œI mean, the memory and the capacity that Tom had to remember plays, situations and finer points like hard counts and getting-out-of-bounds plays and things like that, from years before in the exact same situation and time frame, was remarkable. We all have decent memories, but to be able to process it that quickly in a matter of literally seconds and split seconds on the field or during a timeout or going back on the field with however much timeā€™s left ā€” like, ā€˜Yeah, this is what we talked about. This is that situation we had in training camp. We had 39 seconds and the ball was at midfield.ā€™

ā€œSo those are the things that I learned from Tom as a quarterback, was how to see the game as a quarterback instead of as a coach. Tom would say, ā€˜You know, I canā€™t see that. Iā€™m not really looking at that.ā€™ Like, OK, Iā€™m going to stop coaching that then, because if you canā€™t see it, nobody else is going to see it. So letā€™s see how you see the game and let me learn from you, and Tom was great about that.

ā€œWe had a really good relationship, especially in the film room and talking football and all that, that Iā€™ll always treasure and I learned so much from. Because nobody sees the game better than Tom Brady sees it or saw it, and I was so lucky to learn from him and his vision. No other coach will get that experience. I mean, it was incredible.ā€œ

Tom Brady would have called the Helmet Catch better than Joe Buck.

Everyone in this forum would have called the Helmet Catch better than Joe Buck.
