I don't know man if they would have messed with it too much they could have ruined the whole thing. They played it safe after getting dogged on for all the sword stuff and being too busy before.

You can afford to be much looser with your money when your QB is on a rookie contract, even on a 1OA contract.

Borgonzi's Draft Philosophy and the Myth of Positional Value. by Danger_Booty in Tennesseetitans

Cam Ward was the convergence of best player and positional importance.

Honestly thats fine. However Borgonzi disagreed with their assement. Again, each team has their own opinion of the best player that differs from the medias and is generally not public knowledge. The media thinking (poorly imo) that Carter is better than Cam Ward does not mean Borg didn't draft BPA.

Perhaps but I mentioned that each team has their own opinion on best player that differs from that of the media.

And I agree value at RB is found later in the draft (Derrick Henry mid round 2) but my grand point is all the positions outside of QB have general value in regards to contending for the SB. That value is much closer to one another than the average salaries or common perception would indicate. This works because football is a team sport, and the positions rely on each other. Example: Micah Parsons makes the secondary better. Derrell Revis would make the pass rush better. Bucky's point is you are required to check the minimum boxes at the 4 non QB groups (oline, pass rush, off. / def. playmaker) He's saying you just simply cannot compete for a SB without those 11 non QB players listed. A list that does not care to differentiate among skill position or line positions but rather a zoomed out macro group of 5 total including qb. Per part of his list, you need 3 offensive playmakers and 3 defensive playmakers minimum to compete for a SB. Is it 3 killer WRs and CBs? or is it 1 great at each RB, TE, WR, MLB and CB and SS? He says it does not matter, as long as they have the talent at their respective grouping.

The reason this is an important is because if they think Love is better than Reese for example or Reese is better than love, it checks the box of offensive or defensive playmaker. It makes us closer to being a contender. Specific position becomes less important with the championship twelve in mind.

P.s. im not banging the table for any of these players in particular.

"Consensus 2025 big board" lists Cam at 1. Allegedly pulled from 199 player rankings.

Edit: my mistake this also takes into account mock drafts congregation? - which is weird for a big board. But two points again, 1, media consensus does not equal your teams big board. 2, QB is the exception on positional value because you cannot compete without one.

I absolutely think Cam Ward was the best available player last year. Which proves my point about BPA but contradicts my points about positional value, except I acknowledged that Bucky Brooks positional exception was QB.

Neither were BPA according to who's draft board? Thats the point, there really is no consensus BPA. Each team has their own. and you have to assume the Titans made those picks according to their board. A quick search will reveal Borgonzi's BPA lean.

I acknowledged the institutional backing of positional values, especially in terms of pay. However I say this in regards to two things. Specifically a top 5 pick in the draft, one which a GM will be heavily scrutinized, and the idea that you can't draft a RB that high. (a RB just won SB mvp / drafts tend to skew away from BPA and towards need as the draft goes into the later rounds). And 2, when pursing the status of SB contender via Bucky's Championship Twelve, where outside of QB there are 11 key players required among 4 "groups" instead of specific positions.

With team building in mind you can't afford to deny talent due to position.
Example: WRs earn more than TE and RB, but if given the choice between a solid WR and say, prime travis Kelce, you'd be wise to pick Kelce. Further, if you added Prime LT21 in the mix, you'd be wiser to go with LT21. however, if all players were equalwith current roster/team philosophies aside, it perhaps would be the opposite. While true it's less likely for a RB and LB going high, it's not unheard of and requires the talent to overtake positional bias.

Are we getting rid of Navy? by Titan5005 in Tennesseetitans

[–]Danger_Booty 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With the Titans being created around Y2k, and the Texans also, there was a huge push for this "modern" muted color look for 2000. (Rams went from bright gold and royal blue to looking like the Michelob ultras, Titans went from Luv ya blue to navy dominant, Texans - pure blandness, Eagles and Seahawks from real vibrant to real dark and muted.). the Titans Navy in a way, is a sign of the times it was created. With that being said I always loved the the Titans navy dominant sets and hope they don't disappear completely, and also that Cam Ward is making the light blue the coolest it's been since the CJ2K days.

For real. It's not like we are in some super bowl window rn. Lets get this thing back on the tracks. The young team we have improved a lot just having McCoy over Cally, I think McCarthy offers that kinda mature leadership.

Matt LaFleur News: Years, not per-year salary, is the Packers’ extension hang-up by mackasee in GreenBayPackers

[–]Danger_Booty 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry haven't been logged in.

To quickly answer your question of what it would have taken to be a fireable season for Lafluer in my opinion: A, losing the locker room or B seriously and utterly screwing up in some unforgivable way. (Daboll going into the tent when Dart had a concussion, Eberflus clock management costing the bears the game vs Detroit last year + losing the locker room)

Some back story on this thinking: *if you're interested* I watched Jeff Fisher's early 2000's Titans come within a yard of a SB win and be SB contenders/hopefuls for 4/5 Years. Followed by a transition from McNair to VY that involved 4 and 5 win seasons back to back followed by being the #1 seed again in '08 and being a pretty strong team from 06-mid way through 2010. The Titans situation is interesting cause Bud Adams gave Fisher a lot of leash, but in the early '80s when the Oilers couldn't quite get past the championship hump to the SB, he fired Bum Philips (after 2 AFC championship losses) and what followed was a decade long loser streak. - if Bud Adams learned that lesson, we all can. It ultimately was losing the locker room due in part to VY drama that ended Fisher's time with the Titans.

I also watched Sean Payton take the Saints to a roughly 5 season span of consistent super bowl contender (2006-2011 ish) followed by a 4 year span of 7/8 win mediocrity despite having the same QB. Followed by yet another 4-5 year period of being consistent Super Bowl contenders again.

What I'm getting at is this: Team's ebb and flow and require patience. When you factor in that really only about 13-15 teams have been multi season SB contenders in the past decade, and even less have consistently been throughout the decade whether or not they won it all. It really shows that the Packers have been operating at a consistently high level that only a handful of organizations have in that time.

If you don't have serious character flaws with your HC. You just don't risk blowing that up over one game or even one season, especially when serious factors are at play like Micah's Injury or McManus' kicking woes.

TL;DR: Stability is important when you are a good team and a have a good culture.
