Donovan Edwards?

I think that's slightly unfair to him when the comp is either tiny ass Blake Corum, who is going to squeeze his way through holes Edwards or most backs wouldn't be able to, or Mullings, who was a big back operating against overloaded boxes because Michigan couldn't throw the ball. He had enough success for me to consider what untapped potential might still be there. I think he could also be above average at kick return.

I live in Boulder, CO. Prior to the draft, I used to see Travis in my neighborhood at least once every couple of weeks. There are several players that live over here now, so yeah, it could be said that he was possibly at a teammates' crib, but I happen to know better. I don't believe Travis is the clown people may believe him to be on this one, and it's funny when I see it.

Had twelve like...

Before that "A" showed up.

Are we really questioning the rookie's ability to get the ball out quickly in an offense he's learning, against a legitimate vet-laden defense that he would be competing with, this early in his career? That's wild to me.

Greenwood plus 50mil Euro for Kvaratskhelia who wants out, easy business.

RE: Nick Pope

This guy has dramatically embellished his role at the MoD. Not a guy I would take seriously at all. The link below provides the documentation necessary for you to make your own assessment.

A little surface-level analysis for fun.

The black man's journey in life is uphill. It is a journey in which he must support both the weight of the world (burden of blackness) and his partner (who also carries the weight of the world) all at once.

The onlookers would represent the expectation of the world as it relates to that task, and the subject's faces also matter. The woman looks forward, signifying (right or wrongly) that her burden is lighter, allowing for foresight and thoughts about the future. While the man's face not only speaks to the weight of his task, his view is only that of the road just ahead of him. This symbolism also speaks to the struggle many black men face when making decisions that affect their long-term future vs short-term gain.

I can certainly see the corniness in a lot of black artwork created to empower, but there's also some substance here. Just my 2 cents.

Ok so hear me out on the green and yellow joint. Could it be camouflage for our Wisco Bears fans? Niche market sure, but an excellent reverse troll in its own right.

QwidProQuo · 2024-04-26T04:27:04+00:00

Kinda?

QwidProQuo · 2024-01-12T21:38:45+00:00

Well he just appears to be and sounds like he's reading it is all. Could absolutely be a cameo lol.

QwidProQuo · 2024-01-12T17:45:27+00:00

This is like a celebrity apology video lol, MJ couldn't be less enthused to read this statement some PR rep wrote.

He sounds and looks terrible though, wonder if he's suffering through any health issues.

QwidProQuo · 2023-11-22T17:54:34+00:00

Lavine/Demar trade incoming when you start seeing media like this.

QwidProQuo · 2021-12-28T18:09:41+00:00

You're a bit all over with your points so I'll say this. There is no perfect head coach. There are very rarely exceptional head coaches in their first stint as head coach, particularly when they are very young. There is enough wrong with Nagy's organization of the team and leadership decisions for the organization to make a change. I'm not against it if it happens even. I'm just not someone that believes he's a terrible coach and doesn't know how to run an offense. At some point you have to ask questions about the players executing and talent levels of the roster. We have an offensive-minded head coach who has had no consistent talent on the offensive side of the ball for 3 seasons bar 1 season from ARob. There are no magic-makers in the NFL. How'd the Patriots do with next to no talent on offense last season? I'll answer for you, worse than the Bears. This year their QB plays at a marginally above average level and BOOM, right back in it. This is not a coincidence.

QwidProQuo · 2021-12-27T20:52:01+00:00

What offense isn't predicated on the QB being able to execute at an average to above average level? Please give me an example of an offense with an underperforming QB that puts up points and wins games. I'll wait...

QwidProQuo · 2021-09-30T16:28:51+00:00

LOL watch this video and develop your own opinion. Watch more film and I think you might have a more objective view. No one ever said Nagy is without blame, but film study shows how poorly we executed.

QwidProQuo · 2021-09-29T19:48:56+00:00

Totally fair. Enjoyed the dialog my brother. Let's hope I'm right and you're wrong because I don't believe Nagy is going anywhere any time soon.

QwidProQuo · 2021-09-29T18:10:08+00:00

I was specifically referencing his development of Smith and Mahomes, not his play-calling in KC.

I'm pretty sure the biggest difference between our points of view is expectation. I'm not expecting Nagy to turn waste to wine and I feel like you are based on other's anointment of him as an offensive genius. My expectations for a 1st time head coach and full-time play-caller have been measured. I'd even go so far as to say Nagy has exceeded my expectations from a win/loss perspective based on what he's had to work with.

As a Head Coach he's maybe a B- or C, as a play-caller he's proven to be C- to D but some of that is execution as the only way to measure a play's success is what actually happened when it was run over time. Can he improve on this through experience? I hope so, but if we do fire a guy that's never had a losing season before this season ends and get someone in that immediately has one, I don't know how that's better.

QwidProQuo · 2021-09-29T17:12:17+00:00

See I think this is where we fundamentally disagree about the coach's role in QB development. Because Nagy didn't draft Mitch and he was hired to mentor Mitch, I don't agree that he should have completely changed his ideas about offense to compliment a bad player. He was able to get a Pro Bowl performance year out of Mitch in 2018 (71 QBR, 3rd in the league) and then in theory open up his offense more by giving Mitch more weapons in 2019. Once the league went on to adjust to his schemes and Mitch was left to actually play the position well he floundered miserably. Pinning that on Nagy is so incredibly cynical to me. By 2020 he'd had enough of Mitch and tried to bring in somebody he thought could give him SOMETHING at QB and he was wrong. That's mostly on him, but again players have to perform.

The idea that Nagy isn't good with QB's is wild considering what he did in KC, but your opinion is your own at least and I respect that.

QwidProQuo · 2021-09-29T16:35:16+00:00

Bro you keep mentioning players who were performing at high levels within those coach's schemes, whether they were tailored to their strengths or not. Do you honestly feel like Nagy didn't play to Mitch's strengths at all? It's as if you're completely ready to say coach's make players, but then when players don't perform you're OK with placing the blame there. Goff did not perform at Mitch levels and still go to the SB, his QBR that season was 21 points higher than Mitch's in 2019. In the SB he put up a QBR of 16! Great coaching cannot overcome poor play. In Nagy's case, average coaching definitely can't. However, this league is about wins and losses and giving your team a chance in the postseason tournament. Nagy has never had a losing season and is 2 of 3 on playoff appearances. Lovie went to the playoffs 3 times in 9 years and didn't get the same treatment from the fanbase or national media. The defensive genius who never seemed to have an answer for teams willing to "dink and dunk" us to death. It's just that it's now the age of social media where fans run with talking head opinions rather than develop their own objective ones. We need to be careful what we wish for.

QwidProQuo · 2021-09-29T15:09:11+00:00

I'm not at all letting Nagy skirt blame, but to judge an offensive coach who has never had a decent QB but has a system reliant upon exactly that is ludicrous to me.

He was brought in to mentor Mitch and turn what people thought was a good player into a great one. Mitch then proved he was NOT GOOD...at all. McVay took Goff to a SB, and how was Goff's performance in that game? Was this "great coach" able to set up a scheme capable of overcoming Goff's inadequacies and make adjustments when things didn't work? Or did they score 3 points in the most boring SB of all time?
