-

-
-
how could that be???? Aaron Rodgers is GOD!!!!! (what if....Rodgers really can't see TE's)
-
That was the play that broke all the love I had for Mitch
-
Pace loves 1st rd busts tho
-
Todd Gurley released
-
Im busier now then before “social distancing” and “working from home” became the american way. Im getting tired, i may have to hire. I hope this keeps inexplicably growing
-
Nothing important, but the most significant part of this trade for me is that I have a good friend who is a dead ringer for Foles.
-
$30 mil a year!!?? No thanks
-

-
you'd horsefeathers yourself for even a rookie contract
-
Yea, thats ....less then optimal. Hope he’s cheap What is less than optimal? I would have preferred Kwitkowski unless he was just too expensive

I'm not a professional pitcher obviously, but I've never gained control by lowering my arm slot, I had to be over the top on delivery to be effective at all. So I ask: is this witchcraft? -
it is up, but so what. None of those 3 are significanlty better the Mitch. Bridgewater is probably the only available *obvious upgrade, unless he resigned already and I missed it. dalton is probably better but i wouldn't bother with him mariota fine whatever if they want him to back up and have someone to throw in if mitch really horsefeathers the bed. don't care at all to bother with keenum. carr is the best of the bunch. carr or bust. i'd prolly go Bridgewater or Carr, then Mitch...or bust

Statistically speaking, they aren't much better if at all. Granted, QB rating isn't the end all be all of statistics but: Keenum- has 2 seasons in the last 4 worse than Trubisky's 2019 83 QB rating. Only 1 season in his career better than Trubisky's 2018 95.4 rating. Also, 32 years old with no upside to get better. Mariota- has 1 season better than Trubisky's 2018 95.4, and that was a 95.6 season. Same issues as Mitch with taking sacks. Doesn't throw a lot of picks, but similar gunshy and doesn't process quick enough to anticipate hitting an open receiver. More consistently mediocre though than the rest of this group, Trubisky included. Dalton- was statistically worse than Trubisky in 2019. Only has 1 season with a better QB rating than Mitch's 2018, and that was back in 2015. Older than Keenum so also doesn't have upside to improve. A little INT happy at times. Doesn't have a bunch of arm talent. isn't passer rating up league wide? if it were a good statistic we wouldn't be talking about replacing trubisky. his 2018 wasn't nearly as good as his passer rating makes it out to be. at least, not if you're looking at it from the standards of even 5-10 years ago. it is up, but so what. None of those 3 are significanlty better the Mitch. Bridgewater is probably the only available *obvious upgrade, unless he resigned already and I missed it.

in an offensive tackle they are

I'm not arguing, I'm just pointing out how athletic an NHL hockey goalie has to be. They also tend to be some of the taller guys on the team...fwiw.

I can ice skate and I used to play roller hockey, and I had friends that played fairly competatively in high school and college. You can't tell me that probably half of their roster has some experience playing goalie when they were young. And THEY are the ones used to having 100 mph pucks shot at them, and that's without a goalie mask. Not sure that the rec leagues that these 40 year old, ex-college goalies are getting their reps in has prepared them for NHL slapshots. All that said, I can buy that they would fare better than Joe 4th line defender, but I'm most curious how teams were allowed to use non-rostered players in the first place. Every kid on our mite team rotates through goalie, and our best skaters are the absolute worst at goalie. By the time they are 10 they will either play goalie or not. But having experience as a 12 year old and then suiting back up as a 25 year old is night and day. https://thehockeynews.com/news/article/the-inside-story-on-the-oddity-that-is-the-emergency-backup-goalie-and-why-it-could-soon-change this is not someone who sucks at skating (the rest of what you say I totally agree with): http://www.fftimes.com/sites/default/files/story-photos/goalie-splits.jpg

Have you ever played goalie? Better yet, can you even skate? Goalie takes years to learn. A hard puck moving at 100 mph towards your grill will freak 99% of the population out, not to mention having to brace yourself in a perfect position while on two blades of steel. Literally any other position is easier to learn.

then trade mitch for carr Don't think I'd hate a trade for Carr. Floyd and a 4th for Carr? that would be something, we get the Raiders best D player and their QB and they get our failed D player and failed QB
-
Along with Longs retirememt that puts them at about 25m in cap. Still not a lot, around bottom 10. They could still free up some more, most notably Floyd's 13M. And extend ARob. then trade mitch for carr

Do you guys remember Kerry Wood thinning out later in his career? Hopefully this helps JL’s stamina in late season
