  1. With college head coaches signing absurd extensions the talk of hot young coaches coming up from college is no longer an option.
  2. Relying on Stroman, Miley and Hendricks as your top three and letting the merry band of misfits on the roster already fight for the other 4+ spots necessary to fill out a major league rotation over the course of a season does not seem wise to me. None of these guys is a workhorse. You aren't getting nearly enough innings out of them to risk the rest of the rotation to that group. I feel like it's destined that one of those three is going to pitch well under 150 innings, and none of them is going to be able to make up for it.
  3. Even the Indy stuff is kinda being explained as, he agreed to the job, they hired assistant coaches that he wanted, but then he backed out because he wasn't being given say in personnel that he was perhaps originally promised. But the Cutler stuff is interesting. It's hard to say he was right because he then went to Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow. It's hard to say he was completely wrong because we've seen "good" QBs not be good enough to do any real damage and win championships. It's the great QBs that win, and Cutler definitely wasn't at that level. Maybe he could have been in the right organization, but clearly McDaniels didn't think he could have been great with him in Denver. Cutler was nearing that point where you were going to have to pay him like a great QB, but we've seen guys like Cousins and Big Ben after 28 kinda hold teams back because of their salaries and not being great enough to legitimately compete for titles. The thing he was wrong about was his attempt to trade for Matt Cassel. That was the most obvious "he's not going to be worth what you trade for him" guy at the time. Sure, Cutler wasn't good enough to commit to, but Cassel wasn't a better option.
  4. I can't blame a man for having second thoughts about moving to Indy
  5. I’d be fine with McDaniels. I like getting younger guys who learned a lesson after being hot up and comers.
  6. More like depreciation thread
  7. The Blackhawks traded for a fringe defensive prospect for an older forward with minimal NHL time on his resume. His social media profile is aggressively anti-homophobia. Seems like a kind of enforcer type filling in for Khaira.
  8. just post a link to the doughboys double this week, what a freaking story there has to be dozens of cubs fans whose friendship ended over food-related disputes.
  9. Nah bro. Gonna be a couple 3 play TD drives.
  10. Viral load management
  11. .500 teams and teams on pace for ~10 wins holding playoffs spots is not a new thing.
  12. Weren't his Wisconsin teams quite successful?
  13. Plus 5 more after this, 5 more games of Dalton throwing, regardless of Kmet' health status, to Graham, 5 more games of Nagy stunting the development of younger players because he thinks he's got a better chance to win by going with trusted veterans. It's really depressing, January 10, 2022 cannot come soon enough. Is it confirmed that Fields is out for the year? If there’s still a chance he can start again before the end of the year, there’s still some reason to keep watching… I’ve heard no reports suggesting that it was even possible he was out for the year
  14. Iowa is sitting right there. Also Wyoming and Air Force come to mind.
  15. I think that speaks more to highly compensated vets on the way out being unmotivated to return again with a crap coach leading things.
  16. The payroll was extremely small and they had a desperate need for starting pitching. What is the confusion?
  17. Now all they need is 2 more starters and 2 big bats
  18. I'm surprised he turned down the Cubs offer of 3 years, $21 million to return. :lol: Good one! :lol: I love comedy :lol:
  19. I think it revolved around losing three of their first 4 games. had to be done
  20. 7 different versions of crap isn't the diversity I was looking for.
