    BB's next job (a.k.a. Steve Belichick's next next job)

    I'm not sure that's fair. I would imagine if Bill chose to take the Dallas Cowboys job as opposed to the UNC Tar Heels job, there'd be plenty of good assistants looking to go with him. Nobody with any real ambition or resume is going to be an assistant for him at UNC. Talk about a thankless...

    BB's next job (a.k.a. Steve Belichick's next next job)

    Personally, I don't think Bill's credit is for "developing QB's" in the traditional sense. I think what Bill brings to the table for QB's is the best defensive mind in football history. He has the ability to sit a QB down and tell them what the defense is going to do. He's basically a human...

    Draft Pick Watch

    I disagree a bit, but mostly because we aren't sure yet who comes out. McCarthy was talked about as a late 1st rounder/early 2nd in October, but he went 10th overall, after the Vikings gave up 129th and 157th (they gave back 200th or something) to move up one spot with the Jets from 11 to 10 to...

    Draft Pick Watch

    Ewers may transfer rather than come out, he's losing his job next year to Manning if he stays in Texas. I believe Allar will come out. Both of these guys are making around $2mil/year in NIL money. If drafted in the 1st, they'll be making more than that, along with endorsement deals, etc. In...

    Draft Pick Watch

    If the Pats pick in the top 5, a QB needy team will come calling. Everyone's talking about Ward/Sanders, but make no mistake, as happens almost every year, guys will shoot up draft boards after the combine, pro days, etc. Milroe might be the most physically gifted QB in the class (think...

    Maye-day Every Day

    Maye-day Every Day

    If they went 3-8, who would you have blamed? But no, I generally don't give any QB all of the blame or all the credit for anything, unlike a few folks around here. I think I'm pretty consistent on that front. That said, just to be clear, 15tds, 7ints, 94.4 QBR over those 11 games. It's the...

    Maye-day Every Day

    I know, I know, all rookie QB's go 8-3 in their last 11 games and get their teams into the playoffs. Happens all the time, in fact. I get it, people love to shit all over him. It's fun. But here we are, with an actual good quarterback, and well, we're 3-10. Still all Mac's fault though...

    Maye-day Every Day

    It probably doesn't make sense because I didn't say Maye was better than Justin Herbert. But of course, most folks around here read what they think is written, and not what's actually written. So let me boiler plate it for you: The conversation began with "Which QB's would you trade Drake...

    Maye-day Every Day

    If you say so... Maybe if Drake gets it rolling, he can match Mac's rookie year numbers. Somehow, Mac outperformed Drake this season against their common opponent, Houston. Obviously, I'm just trolling a bit, but the reality is Mac had a pretty darn good rookie year. Then the roster got...

    Fuck Myles Bryant. I hope he's an injury replacement in a playoff game for Houston and his ass gets burned for a game winning touchdown.

    Maye-day Every Day

    Again, what I've said all along about Mac was that it was impossible to judge him because he was surrounded by shit. I never thought he could be anything better than an average quarterback, I just thought that there was no chance that he, or anyone else including Tom Brady, could have even...

    This isn't a comparison between Drake Maye and Justin Herbert, unless folks really would consider trading a 21 year old Drake Maye under a cost controlled contract for 5 years, for almost 27 year old Justin Herbert who will run you 5yrs/262million through 2029. He's in his 5th season, so...

    Jayson Tatum's Rise to the Top

    Scottie Pippen is almost exactly the same as Kawhi, at 6'8, 7'3

    Maye-day Every Day

    Exactly, 8-14 places him "above average." But before he wins a Super Bowl, let's see if he can win a playoff game. I'm not discounting Herbert hasn't been in the best organization, but 5 years is a lifetime for a QB with his skill set, and he's had some decent teams around him. People around...

    This is Herbert's 5th season, not his 1st or 2nd. Drake Maye's best receiver on the Patriots, was Justin Herbert's 4th best receiver in Herbert's rookie season (if you consider Ekeler and Mike Williams as better receivers than Hunter Henry, which I do). Then Henry left, and they brought in...

    I don't understand why Herbert continues to find his way on these lists as if he's a top 5 QB. He's not folks. Dude has never had a QB rating higher than 98.3 (career is at 96.0, so he's remarkably, umm, above average?) Maye's comp% (67.2%) this season is higher than Herbert's this season...

    Goats vs Colts

    You and I butt heads around here a bit, but I can't be more with you on this. If the Pats didn't take Maye there, I would have fucking lost my mind. I was way, way more concerned that Washington would take Maye and we'd have to choose between Daniels and trading out/down, but no fucking way...

    Goats vs Colts

    I'm admittedly only giving him partial credit on Maye. Fuck, I was here stumping for Maye a year and half before that draft. We needed a QB, and if any of those top 3 were there, we were taking them. It worked out (so far). But at some point, after 20 years in the league as everything from a...

    Goats vs Colts

    I realize Bill got all the credit and all the blame for everything that occurred, but he wasn't the guy out there scouting every draft pick, etc. There wasn't enough time in the day. Frankly, I wasn't impressed with Wolf prior to coming to NE. I don't think he did nearly enough in his time in...
