NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

@fightinfunbags the Ravens did not get the memo that their offense was done after Mark Andrews injury.

Care to explain?

Care to explain how you missed me eating this crow before?

Quick update: the Germans lost WW2 as well.

Maybe this is fake like the Taylor Travis thing to raise their profiles

Yeah it’s not

For maybe the first time he did own this huge gaffe already.

Are you sure about the WW2 claim?

After all, we live in 2024 where there is no such thing as fact, only spin.

We have kind of been assuming that the Bears would trade down and keep Fields. Listening to local radio today something I hadn’t considered was brought up. The bears may need to move on from Fields just to restart the qb rookie contract thing.

I think this seems pretty obvious IF they love one of the QBs at 1. QB on rookie deal is huge.

Brings me to a topic I heard on 1st take. They asked what QBs they would take now over Stroud. Stephen A. said maybe only Mahomes, LJ and possibly Allen. The rest thought he was nuts. Stephen A. made some decent points for his case but didn't even mention the best one......the rookie contract. Because of that, if you buy what we saw this season is who he is you could argue you might take him over any QB.

Makes sense even if they do have plenty of cap room

Thoughts on Carroll stepping down as a HC and moving into an advisory role?

I don't think it was his choice and I don't really understand the move. The Seahawks are a young team and as much as I love Geno, he's been a career backup for a reason. Despite that, they were in the playoff hunt all season and finished 9-8.

Based on his comments, he clearly doesn't feel he's done coaching, and they were saying this morning that there are some teams that would likely have some interest in him. The Chargers and Falcons were 2 teams mentioned.

24-25 the last 3 years, I expect that’s it

They were in a bit of a rebuild trying to transition from the Russell Wilson era. They've brought in a lot of young players and looking for a QB. In a lot of ways they remind me of the teams from when he first got there and were putting together the Legion of Boom defense and discovered Russell Wilson.

I didn't see anything that showed me he's lost the team, so I don't think that was it.

It looked like he was trying to build them into a defense first, run heavy team in an era where everyone is throwing the ball all over the field...maybe that's what the owner wants.

You look around and you don’t see a lot of defense first guys still running things.

I think he'd work well with the Chargers. They have a veteran defense and a really good QB with weapons. 7 of their losses were by a field goal or less. They just need a coach who isn't a dumbass. lol

He could get the most out of that defense and just let the OC handle the offense.

But you're right, the league seems to be moving away from defense first guys.
