    Possibly in rather than rinsing your dishes and letting food dry? The only problem I have with the dishwashing saves water concept is that there are always pots that can't be cleaned in the dishwasher. So you end up doing some dishes anyway.

    [sarcasm]I think the thing you are missing is that simply would be the end of Watson as a good QB. He'll suddenly go all Cutler on them.[/sarcasm]

    They're twins?

    Cutler was "new-Farve". You know where they claim the new version has improved flavor of the old version, yet everyone gags on it and says its nothing like the original and demands the original back.

    Brewer offseason so far...

    I guess I didn't look closely at the package... I'm surprised it is so little coming back this year. I guess the Lions are building for post-Rodgers era.

    Yes, I agree with the Favre-lite description. He can throw you into and out of games pretty easily. I'm wondering how how accuracy will "age". In his early career, he struggled to complete over 60% of his passes (1 time in his first 5 years). His age 27-30 years, he was at 65-67%, then dropped back to 64% the last two years. 64% is still good, but if his career follows a bell curve, that might not bode well for his career longevity. Interesting to note on Brady and Rodger's completion percentages - when they drop to 60-62%, they've had really bad years. Brees never did see a drop like that- he just couldn't throw the ball over 10 yards at the end. But the Rams will be tough next year no doubt.

    So if the Packers had taken Stafford's deal (or potentially a bit more), would you have done it? Watson was pretty easy. Goff and a big package of picks... interesting, but I still think Rodgers is our best SB chance in the next 10 years. Especially since Rodgers in LA would've made them SB favorites for a couple years at least.

    A couple of years ago with Moose and Yaz, I think our salary cap was maxed for good times. I'm guessing last year was payback. Now this year, until we can show a consistent fan source of revenue we won't be spending much money.
  13. CheezWizHed
    Time to look forward instead of backward.

    In today's game, I actually think 3-4 and playing nickel/dime is the better choice in our pass-happy day. You still need skill players and good coordination between players to execute any defense well. The second half of the season, our defense played very well when our MLBs became healthy and got used to playing together (recognize none of our top 3 MLBs were on the team last year). Our run defense was much better. We do have to understand that the NFL is setup for offense, so the years of the '85 Bears defense are long gone. Every defense is going to give up something - look at how badly we pounded the #1 D this year (Rams). So while getting gouged in the run game against the 49ers last year or the Viking this year can't happen, I'd prefer to focus on stopping the passing game and contain the run game rather than the inverse. I do think changing our D-coordinator was the right move. And I hope they look for an up-and-comer instead of a retread.

    I don't think either Smith manages a LB spot in a 4-3 defense. I could see Gary/Z-Smith as DE. Not sure P.Smith fits a 4-3 at all.

    DOH! Touche'

    Honestly, I saw someone say this (and have heard it several times), so I was curious if it was true. And it wasn't. I'm also curious where the "rookie QB sits" concept comes from too. As far back as I can remember, QBs drafted in the first round more often than not would start that year - especially if they were top 10 picks. In fact, much was made about Rodgers "having the luxury" to sit and learn first.
  18. CheezWizHed
    I'd disagree about 2000 being too early. The dispersion of rookie contract QBs was actually pretty equal from 2000-2010 than 2011-2021. Brady, Roth, Eli and Flacco were 10+ years ago on their rookie contracts. Rodgers is right at my cutoff of 2011, Wilson a few years ago and Mahomes recently. If we give credit for Philly with Wentz (though it was Foles that technically won it ), that makes 4 QBs (with 4SBs) in the last 11 SBs compared to 4 QBs (with 5 SBs) in the 11 years prior. Another interesting item was that nearly every QB that won the SB on their rookie contract immediately got the big extension the year after. Most were on their final year of their rookie contract. I think Brady (on his first) was the only one that didn't. I'm pretty sure every other rookie QB I listed on the winning or losing team immediately got a big contract and was either on the last year of their rookie contract or next-to-last year. And you say the numbers are convincing because there were a lot of QBs. The question being answered was "whether rookie contract QBs are the best way to build a SB". Having the numbers come in at less than 1/3rd of the SBs being won by rookie QBs (and closer to a 1/4th of QBs playing in the SB) makes that answer a pretty resounding "no". If the question is "Can you win with a rookie contract QB?", then obviously yes. Especially if that rookie is a HOF talent.
  19. CheezWizHed
    I wonder why people keep repeating this? From 2000-2021 (I can count this year since neither QB this year is on a rookie contract), the SB winning QB is on a rookie contract 31.8% (7 of 22) of the time. The SB losing QB is on a rookie contract 22.7% (5 of 22) of the time (or 27.3% combined). 6 of the 7 SB winning QBs are probably future HOF QBs (Brady 2x, Rothlisberger, Wilson, E Manning, Mahomes) with Flacco as the other. Of the 5 SB losing QBs, you have Wilson as future HOF probable with McNair, Grossman, Kapernick, and Goff. Best way to win a SB is to have a HOF level QB on a rookie contract. The second best way is to have a HOF level QB.

    The game was very different then. Half of Favre's sacks back then would be personal fouls today. Much about the game changed.
  21. CheezWizHed
    The trade to get Hader feels a bit like this too with Carlos coming unraveled in Houston (even knowing what pitches were coming), although Mike Fiers ended up being a good player. These trades are always in the back of my mind as we talk about Hader trade deals.
  22. CheezWizHed
    Was that a coaching blunder or just bad defense? I was so steamed about 4th and 1 the rest of the game was blur, I knew we had already lost. Yes. Both. Similar to King and Pettine - bad play call, bad play execution.
  23. CheezWizHed
    I saw someone purpose this on FB recently and it got me thinking... So, a couple ground rules - to make it simple let's call this a straight up trade and pretend the salary cap implications can be worked out to minimal impact. Not sure what trade blockers either QB might have in their contract, so lets just say it is possible. The question isn't about the logistics but the players. Let's focus on would you trade Rodgers for Watson this offseason? Rodgers is the better QB hands down right now, but Watson isn't that far behind. And certainly that would cement us having good QB play for years, so while I'd hate to shaft Rodgers by trading him away to Houston, I would make that trade. Thoughts?
  24. CheezWizHed
    I knew I should've taken that Tmobile offer of a free year of The Athletic... Thanks for the summary.
  25. CheezWizHed
    4th and 26 still looms pretty large in my book.
