    If we are using the benefit of hindsight, we should've traded him in 2022... I'm guessing that no GM wants to cut the roster to the bones right now... because we have no assets to rebuild for the next 4 years. A losing GM isn't going to last that long. I do find it interesting how hard it has been to find players that fit with Giannis well. Lillard didn't. Turner doesn't. Is Giannis the next Russell Westbrook or James Harden (even Lillard himself might fit in this group)?

    Whoa. I've never looked at the 60s era of QB stats before. Looks like Starr went to the ProBowl in 1960 with 1358 passing yards, 4 TD thrown and 8 INTs... Very different era of FB. So I suppose Sander's 1400 yds, 7TD, and 10 INTs fit right in... 60 years ago.

    I think most had higher hopes for Pratt initially, hoping for a higher ceiling type SS. After a couple of years, his bat looks a little light but could still change. Meanwhile you add Made who has a huge ceiling and Williams who is ahead of CP developmentally... Doesn't mean he is bust, just that he has been passed up.

    "Come to where the flavor is..." Seattle?

    The problem is that the players know it is a joke too. Should I go to the ProBowl or go relax on a beach in the Caribbean? Now if Nixon and Sanders were the first people chosen as replacement, that would be nuts.... I need to believe that many, many people (especially for Sanders) turned it down first. Sanders was the third best QB on his team. Is this the first time a Pro-Bowl QB had more interceptions than TDs?

    I think MLF needs to give up playcalling duties. He gets praised for his ability to structure plays and set up an offense, but there are time he really struggles in executing the offense. Maybe by giving up the live playcalling, he could focus on challenges, identifying defensive shifts, etc... and then put a bug in the play caller's ear. In both the QB and the coach, the main differentiator between the very good and the HOF is the ability to think and adjust on the fly quickly... I'm not sure MLF or Love have that skill (or certainly inconsistent at it).

    No, I don't think Jett was picked up for a second trade and I don't see many "blockages" for a few reasons: I think he potentially could do exactly what Durbin did last year... Start at AAA and jump to MLB if Ortiz continues to struggle. He and Turang would swap if you have SS concerns with him. Pratt's bat isn't a lock for MLB and he still needs to prove himself at AA/AAA. If Jett can play CF, the field opens up quite a bit for him. Not much in the pipeline for CF (save for defensive players with light hitting ratings - Perkins can be included there too) and Mitchell is so injury prone that you can't count on him lasting terribly long (until he actually does it). Pena seems unlikely to be a regular SS at the MLB level (not at Brewer Defensive expectations at least), but that is generally how the Brewers fill 3B/SS/2B... draft SS and move them off if they can't play there. Will the Brewers sign Turang long term or trade him? Having too many good SS is a great problem to have.

    Would be interesting to go back to the Hafley hire discussions too. No one was impressed until he showed success. So which DC would've exceeded cromulence for you?

    <5'9" is the new market efficiency!

    MLB pipeline slots Williams and Sproat in at #3 and #6. So if you were to invert the trade... Would you send Logan Henderson and Cooper Pratt to NYY for Peralta and Myers? I was a big Myers fan, but it was pretty obvious last year that the Brewers weren't as high on him. And the lower end of the SP option list is pretty crowded with similar arms. Still sending him out... would've been nice to get a draft pick comp back (for Peralta's QO draft comp). I guess this ends up being similar to the Burnes trade overall. As far as trying to get Duran or such with the "stars align"... people realize that the stars don't align that often right? I'd guess that that Brewers GM spoke to many teams before finalizing this one. Silly to think he didn't try.

    Recapping past trades and the results might be interesting.

    Interesting. I knew a few engineer co-workers that were calculating a 10 year ROI, which was right in line with the warrantee. I tend to ignore the sales-pitch ROI because they like to use ideal situations. Obviously, tech gets better with time, but this was only 2-3 years ago. Hopefully they fulfill the promise!

    I've not done this yet - need to replace my roof first - but it is on the list. Did you do a ROI calculation? When do you get a return on the investment (i.e. produce enough electricity to payback initial investment)? What sort of warrantee or life expectancy are they giving you?

    I've had my suspicions... Is this linked to the Steam game site or just a similar name? I've been looking around for a retro gaming consol, without buying some chinese knock-off crap. But just thought I'd jump on some turtles or get frogger across the road... 😛

    The coaching merry-go-round was a disaster... but I do wonder how much if it was Giannis? And I get that the meme is meant to be hyperbolic, but we are 6th in the league for the lowest salary cap (only two teams are under the cap and thus have "cap space"). But it does seem like every middling FA signing/vet trade flopped. Lilliard getting hurt just put a nail in the coffin.

    Just watching the Bills/Broncos INT play today and I have to say that I don't understand the confusion. It is clearly an interception (as the rules define it). Two key things are important to note: He didn't have time to make a football move He ended up going to the ground. Without the football move, he hasn't established possession so he isn't "downed" when going to the ground. Then he has to maintain possession through the ground, which he clearly didn't. Thus, it is an interception. People might not like the rule about maintaining it through the ground, but you can't complain about officiating per the rules...

    Somewhere, Rickie Weeks is wondering how this didn't become his nickname...

    Copper and shovels have the same effect but much less bandwidth.... Having said that, my neighborhood is still DSL only (90MPS max). They are installing fiber around us... but I doubt I'll be getting it anytime soon.

    Unbelievable. Up by 18. No fire on the second half.

    Love looks like a deer in headlights. His bugaboo for mismanaging the blitz again. Talk about panic...

    I will say that when the Packers get a lead, they never seem to have a ton of urgency

    Oh, sure they do. And certainly the Moss years were the worst... But Bear's fans (especially the IL variety) are always lippy.
  23. CheezWizHed
    I grew up south of Superior, when to college in Milwaukee, worked in Northern IL for 8 years, over by LaCrosse for 12, and now in the Twin Cities for 8. Bears fans are far more obnoxious. If the Vikings ever win a SB, they might become that, but 4 losses and "MN Nice" keeps them from saying much. The Bears fans are obnoxious if they are SB winners or cellar dwellers.

    I knew I was going to get a philosophical answer... I believe they are still going to try to add 2 DL, QB, 2 WR, and maybe a RB yet too. Probably done with DB, LB, TE, OL I'm just trying to understand if the "2 DL" would still include an Edge player or if the "done with... LB" means no more edge players.

    I think they were trying to do the "Thunder/Lightning" approach with the two, but Dillon thought he was the lightning... I think that draft is a good example of over drafting players based on a type-cast role (especially Deguaro) and compared to talent. Seemed like his drafting approach changed a bit after that. He probably is still too "RAS" focused, but that approach seems to serve him better at least. It does miss out on the "natural football instinct" (i.e. Jim Leonard, Randall Cobb types) part, but we end up with athletic players that can overcome that somewhat.
