The Raiders and Giants are locked in a fierce tank battle for the #2 and #3 picks, which is where the only two elite QBs will be selected. Both teams have upped the ante as the Giants have jettisoned Danny Dimes and the Raiders will be without Gardner Minshew for the rest of the season.

This is normally the time of year when the Raiders fire their coach in-season and sabotage their tank when the team rallies behind the new guy with a pointless 3-1 streak to end the season, leading to the interim coach getting re-hired for the following season, then going 2-9 and getting fired in-season, thus extending the beautiful cycle of futility.

Mark Davis is still rocking that haircut.

Thank you for the clarification, Owen. Didn’t quite understand the context of your reference.

Now I fear that their failure will only encourage Mara to retreat to the same handful of people he already knows.

At least he knows Belichick.

Berri wrote about football. Basic gist was that quarterbacks are far more context dependent than generally understood.

And he created a metric to demonstrate that of course.

Tyler Kolek has been added to Knicks injury report with an “illness” and is questionable. The Mavs have a few players listed with “illness.”

nepotism is definitely a fatal flaw to just about any system…

have you been able to set the simpsons’ thing to either your ringtone, or maybe voicemail answering message yet?

edit: except for chores around the house – very suitable use of nepotism in that regard…

Geo, the only constant is John Mara, and the whole nepotistic infrastructure he has maintained since taking over from his dad. I thought going outside the usual circle of people to hire Schoen and Daboll was a huge step in the right direction. Now I fear that their failure will only encourage Mara to retreat to the same handful of people he already knows.

daniel jones should have run the ball, even more, while he was here…

what a mess, for so so long…gotta be ownership, right?

we’ve had a run of not so great gm’s…i still think if they had handled the eli situation better, they could have actually rebuilt the team…

didn’t matter how many times he got run over back there, somehow he could still play, well enough for a rebuild 🙂

suck, rebuild your lines, acquire merc skill positions, draft some lotto skill positions in later rounds, strenghten your lines…

and run the ball more…do that and there’s a pretty good chance you’ll make it past the first round occasionally…

do whatever it is the g-men are currently doing, and more of the same: stuck in suck…high skill position drafts…dumb asses…

“One area where I remain a staunch Berrite is quarterbacks. Every time I have turned on a Giants game the past few years Daniel Jones was getting sacked. Nobody can play the position without protection and all the best guys generally have great protection.”

Berrite?
