I think Pickett's results were strategy independent. In fact, I think that the strategy we used with him was probably the best of bad options....
I think it's not possible to know if it was "right" or not. It might still pan out in the medium term (where IMO the plan appears to be to draft a...
I wonder how many people even remember there was a pick-6 in that game...
This. The Steelers are not a high-risk team. The Darnold signing clearly worked out for the Seahawks. But it's very clearly not how the...
FWIW, I think Cowher had a very good system for a high variance player in Ben (High percentage of amazing jaw-dropping plays. High percentage of...
I think they were mostly a signal that the practice facilities suck. Probably because they are old and "worse" than facilities at a lot of high...
I think it can be...but Goodell can appoint someone else. At least that's how I think suspension type things are done (even though Goodell could...
I think you and I are defining tanking differently. I'd call what you're talking about something more like prioritizing development after you've...
Turns out...he is indeed bad enough. We just had a defense and offensive system that could hide him.
This might change now. Since MM is an offensive minded coach who at least has a history of working with (and maybe even improving the play of)...
It's not that there is no incentive. It's that the incentive is much less than in the NBA and the NHL (IMO) where those top couple picks are even...
While trades are becoming more common in the NFL, betting against a trade is still the most likely option. If they did want to trade one of our...
If google's AI can be trusted, my first guess here was correct.
Tanking makes sense in the NHL because there's a massive drop off after the top 2 or 3 picks with later picks in the first often not playing in...
Not sure if you're allowed to be a Steelers HC if you prefer small fast RBs. In sarcasm font, but only half-sarcasm.
FWIW, I also think it's "kidding ourselves" to think that Darnold would have had the same result (especially re: team success) if he came here.
+1 on TF. But I do think our situation at LT is suspect.
My guess is that there's a much higher proportion of POSs in the ranks of pro athletes.
I wouldn't be against a lottery for teams that don't make the playoffs to provide a disincentive to tank. But tanking doesn't work as well in the...
Or Harrison "wanting to have his son baptized" (sorry if someone brought this up already, didn't read the whole thread)
