I am struggling getting through recent Jack Ryan

Terminal List I've seen twice.

unfortunately 2nd season isn't until 2025. Good news is it is a prequel

I like Jack Ryan (more than I have True Detective) but cannot say I love it...maybe I'll switch to Terminal List.

Interesting take

Analyst rips Browns for how they replaced Baker Mayfield with Deshaun Watson

Chris Simms ripped the Cleveland Browns for the way they handled current Tampa Bay Buccaneers signal-caller Baker Mayfield after Mayfield played through a serious injury to his non-throwing shoulder while with the Browns during the 2021 season.

Hard to take him seriously when he also ripped the Browns when they did not hire McDaniels and actually believed he turned us down. Even got many others to believe that ridiculous story.

would add Baker would have had to be under a rock to not know the Browns were going after Watson.....never mind they told him.

That's also a very convenient take right now.

Watson is hurt.

as I just added to that comment it's not like it was a secret to anyone and they told him.

do you remember the story he told about why McD turned us down?

How will the chiefs survive?

Last week they did what they should have been doing all season: Rice/Kelce and then check down or Mahomes run. No reason to even target the other slop.

I don't recall that but he's a McDaniels homer because he played for him for like 2 seconds.

This is a huge no for me, @trojanfan12....

He claimed McD turned us down because he said the FO ordered him to turn in his gameplan by Friday each week.

Just dumb on so many levels......and so many ate it up as fact.

looks like it might have been a former Wacky Pack.

Man am I old.

ah yes that's right

 

[dtgold88]

ah yes that's right

Those who bought it never thought to think, "hmmmmm....I wonder what the FO will do if they want to make changes to the plan since, you know, all that is left is a walkthrough."

None of this is to say Baker should not have been upset as they brought in a better QB in a contract year for him....but no way he was surprised.

That’s a plus for KC. Buffalo should be worried now

Yeah, that would be an insane demand. If your coach has to have his gameplan approved by the FO, he's not your coach...the FO is.

I'd hope that no FO was that dumb.

That's true...but worse was it was to be turned in at end of day Friday. You'd have to be pretty dumb to believe that. as mentioned, what would they do if they didn't like it since all that was left in practice was a walkthrough?

This is only a guess but my guess is this regime knew after talking to him for 5 minutes he was not their guy.

All that needs to be known about McD as a HC is he thought Tebow was worth a 1st round pick. ooppss

Tebow's an excellent example of an all time great CFB player that just didn't have it at the next level.

Absolutely, extremely charismatic with excellent leadership skills; someone a bunch of young kids can get behind. Then off to the pros where you can boost morale to an extent but then you have veterans and coaches eye-rolling the decision making and “wtf” throwing motion.

Never stood a chance.

His throwing motion is one of the oddest I've seen. And he's not much better throwing a baseball.
