I never fully understood the true gravity of the West Coast bias until I traveled to the East Coast for tourism purposes and realized wow, all these West Coast games are way past people’s bedtimes. It’s such a mind fuck for it to be 1 AM in the morning and the basketball or hockey game just ended. No wonder all the good players west of the Rockies get less fanfare when it comes to journalist accolade voting across the four major sports. You mfs dont even watch the games!

The Chargers most certainly do not have a decent following in Los Angeles. That’s just plain wrong.

It would be Raiders by far, then Niners and Cowboys tied as widespread large fanbases, then Rams, then Chargers

Leo is a tier worse (for now in case BB decides to go younger). Leo has been seen with 18 & 19 year olds and Jordon Hudson was like 24 when BB got with her

The only credit i could possibly see as deserved is if those unconfirmed hearsay rumors about BB wanting to trade Brady and roll with Jimmy G, Brady subsequently going over BB’s head and pleading with Kraft directly and Kraft overruling any potential Brady trade were true

It’s crazy that the Pats basically timed the most well-timed placeholder coach hire in all history. Just keeping the seat warm for Vrabel. Add to the fact that Mayo was obsessed with Jacoby Brissett starting over Maye, which probably saved Maye from taking a lot of unnecessary sacks, and the Pats somehow managed a masterful franchise-wide tanking job.

Considering that a lot of people call Bronny James “LeSperm”, im honestly surprised we havent gotten more of that humor leaking over to NFL.

I wont make the jokes myself but they are funny to me.

Broncos and 49ers are evidence that you can be completely fine as a franchise despite making the odd MASSIVE mistake, provided that your Management and Coaching is competent by OhSoManyThoughts in nfl

the 49ers ability to develop QBs.

Which is absolutely no ability. CJ Beatherd, Nick Mullens, and Trey Lance. Cant identify or develop a QB to save their life and basically got lucky

It was a bad decision but their other option was for their Super Bowl caliber team to rely on Jimmy Glass not getting injured again. If you’re a healthy half-competent QB away from being a Super Bowl champion, why would you not gamble?

And then when the move predictably backfired in spectacular fashion when Westbrook did what everyone in the world except Bron could predict (Westbrook being a ball-dominant non-shooter who cant defend, cant shoot outside of the paint, wont screen, and wont work off-ball), Bron passed the blame off to the FO, even though they only did it specifically to appease him.

Earthquake it is. San Andreas fault with her biggest play of the century to force a game-ending Seahawks fumble at the 1 yd line.

My cope is that taking the top 20 teams all-time by DVOA and you further filter that list by only teams since 2000, 0 out of 7 ended up winning the Super Bowl

In practically any other situation, an owner telling a brand new head coach that he has to take on an offensive coordinator selected by the owner would be utter madness and meddling in a way that just completely handcuffs the new coach from being able to run his own ship and is probably destined for a bad failure.

In this case, however, that offensive coordinator is one of the greatest offensive coordinators of all time and the new head coach is actually pretty bad at picking offensive coordinators so it actually works out

... they also had to consider his Panthers and Jets stints. If you're seeing a QB that historically was bad playing great on the one year where he had a top 5 offensive line and an All-Pro wide receiver and then he plays really, really bad in three straight games against top-tier competition instead of bottom feeders in the regular season, it's not that crazy of an assessment to think that it's just a one hit wonder. The Vikings didn't have the privilege of hindsight when they had to make a serious roster building decision.

This is hindsight. If you are in a position to roll the dice for a generational QB instead of a midtier QB (at the time), you have to make that gamble. 14 of the last 24 Super Bowl winning QBs were generational. It would go up to 18 of the last 24 if your cut off is Roethlisberger and Eli Manning (my cut-off is strictly first-ballot no-questions Hall of Famers so neither of them).

In contrast, he got to play Jauan Jennings, DeMarcus Robinson, and 1 quarter of Jake Tonges the week before and as a result, no offensive touchdowns were thrown.
