NBA OFF TOPIC THREAD

[fightinfunbags]

@bksballer89 I like this. ACC isn’t pulling their weight in providing a quality to ND’s schedule. FSU was supposed to be a legit opponent last year. Can’t count on that conference to provide decent opponents outside of Clemson. This ensures a quality ACC opponent almost every year.

Sources: Notre Dame, Clemson agree on 12-year college football scheduling partnership

The scheduling strategy comes on the heels of the ACC settling a lawsuit with FSU and Clemson, and following Notre Dame’s march to the national championship game.

Have the Browns called him yet?

I think I remember reading somewhere that the only statistic that can basically positively correlate a QB having success from college to the NFL is amount of college games played.

I was not a fan of the Gabriel pick- but clearly this was a guy Stefanski himself liked and wanted. Stefanski did a great job with guys like Brissett, Flacco, Winston to a certain extent, Mayfield to a certain extent....hes never had a guy he really liked himself.....ill give Stefanski some rope on this one.


I think the season hinges on how healthy the O-line stays. The O-line has the potential to be really really good- but its pretty damn old. Now- o-lineman generally have some of the longest careers of nfl players, but last year it was just a mess

they are going t ogo back to the zone blocking scheme this year- the moron o coordinatior they hired last year just fucked them in so many ways - and the o-line coach was a joke- he was fired and before he was fired he was basically demoted and Vrabel was running it by the end of the season

with the fresh RB's, going back to Callahan's scheme, and starting the year healthy- the O-line has potential to be good- but sadly because of age the injury risk is real.

Pretty much have the top players we did still from 2023 season when we won 11 with 4 QBs (other than maybe JOK) along with some additions through draft since then that could help.

IF we got solid or better QB play we could win a bunch of games, but who knows if we can.

@Shanemansj13 @dtgold88

I was a little nervous when Gimenez had such a hot start for Toronto- but after like the first week and a half he has been absolute dog shit from the plate...hes down to .177........not sure what happened to this guy.

that could go down as an amazing trade- getting off that contract- bringing in Ortiz and a couple decent pitching prospects that actually have ceilings.

xsure looking like the Civale for Manzardo deal has worked out OK despite the angst at time by many.

 

[dtgold88]

It will depend how Arch performs…my guess. No thanks on Allar lol

Could be wrong, but Matt Miller seemed pretty sure Manning will return based on something you said earlier......the fam. wants him to get those 25 starts in college before going to NFL.

 

[dtgold88]

I'm hoping his draft free-fall will knock some of the arrogance out of him.

This could be needed......or maybe as you alluded let's not believe everything from those not willing to put a name to a story.

 

[dtgold88]

The best ever, he was done

Yep....wonder if they'd try to be so noble and dump him if this came out closer to when it happened and he was at his peak.

And I'd be shocked if team was not aware of it back then.

 

[dtgold88]

It’s funny cause it’s true.

It is? Is he a QB in prime of his career with a dozen or so other teams going after him?

All seriousness wonder if high profile enough as a kicker who has regressed for Buzby to get himself involved.

You’re fucking exhausting, Rain Man. It’s a fucking joke.

comment from you really is like Augustus Gloop telling a kid he's overweight.

FYI your first comment was funny and I laughed. You were not trying to be funny in the one to which I replied. It's cool you made the comment but more self awareness by you would go a long way.

Yeah the second pick was a good luck gift from god for a roster that isn’t that bad

They can get bette real quick with competent qb play

I'll be interested in what he's looking like once TC starts.

Expect Flacco to be the starter and Sanders be the back up. Still don't like that Gabriel pick.

If nothing else will make preseason games more watchable.

Hey someone's gotta play QB during preseason and it won't be old man (in NFL years) Flacco.
