I recall touting the impressive job the HOG team had done with putting lipstick on the FedEx Field pig. I now wish they wouldn’t have spent that money and instead used it to be a cash driven org that spends like crazy on talent.
Haven’t kept up with this thread so maybe there are other posts about this, but I was at the Dicks clearance store today and they had an abundance of the burgundy and white Commanders jerseys (Terry, Daniels, etc) marked down to $67 with an added 50% off from there making them $33.50. Adult...
We really have no idea how Jayden feels about his mother managing his business affairs. I’m not sure what being an adult has to do with it. She has an MBA, and became a certified NFL agent to learn the business.
Like I said, I would prefer not hear from her. But at the same time she’s...
Aside from cutting his mother out of his life, what real choice does he have here?
Would it be cooler to not hear from our QBs mom? Sure. But I don’t think she’s really crossed any lines either.
If he stayed healthy and played better last year, folks would be tripping over themselves to talk...
She’s not just mom, she’s his business manager and likely soon to be agent. For better or worse. But she’s not just some helicopter mom demanding certain playcalls.
Please don’t mistake the messenger for the believer. 😂
This season for me is really all about the 🍿. My gut says it ends up a disaster, we waste year 3 of Jayden’s rookie deal, and further stunt his growth as a player, and at minimum Quinn is gone- if not the whole operation. Ranking just...
One piece that struck me as interesting from his time with G&D, when Grant opened with and I’m paraphrasing here:
“This is a huge jump from assistant QB coach to an OC that’s calling plays overnight…”
Blough responded DQ had a plan for him ever since her got here and while this is a surprise...
Listened to Blough on G&D on the way home from work, it was much like his presser. Generic. Clearly not going to win the press conferences.
But that’s okay. Joe Whitt had me ready to run through a wall and all his defense did was run the wrong way.
My issue with the arrogance is they should really be above that. It’s one thing for us as fans to get ahead of ourselves, but for the experts in charge to be that blind is scary to me.
I really hope to laugh about all this one day, and chalk it up to growing pains.
I’m not sure that’s ever been a fair label.
Even when he hired Whitt, while it was his buddy, it wasn’t like Whitt hadn’t paid dues and earned an opportunity.
That said, he either gave Joe way too much rope and sat on his hands or he also had a hand in how god awful that defense was for two...
I’ve piled on why I just don’t think Quinn is the guy to take us where we want to go. My gut says we are likely to be both wasting JD’s rookie contract and stunting his growth as a player.
With that said, I do respect that he didn’t make the easy decision at OC. At DC, he could have found...
I’m not sure how to take these rumors that we had offered McDonald the gig, but not enough compensation to keep him from Seattle.
On one hand, I’m glad they wanted to hire McDonald. On the other, getting outbid on such a huge decision doesn’t give me the warm and fuzzies. Especially when we...
I feel like if we are all being honest with ourselves, there’s no way that deep down, Dan Quinn feels like that dude.
Of course, in the midst of that magic carpet ride fueled by Jayden and his cape, all the rah-rah brotherhood stuff was endearing. Of course guys like and respect him. Of...
I dunno, man.
Guys do all sorts of stuff in the offseason, likely much riskier than a flag football game. If he can’t get through an offseason flag football game without injury, we need to make other plans.
I’m more worried about stunting his growth as a player by hiring an OC with no...
I must admit, after listening to Logan who is always glass half full, go on and on and on about how difficult this is going to be for Blough - I’m leaning way more towards this being a disaster.
