    Unless you think he is lying you should probably do both.

    Doh! I actually forgot that... He was one of the singing monks in season 1 also. I just started season 2.
  3. CheezWizHed
    I'll take that! I'll also take sweeping AZ and the Dodgers to atone for past post-season failures. 😉

    I just discovered "Galavant" on Hulu. I heard it described as Monty Python meets Gilbert and Sullivan. Comedy that busts out in song several times in each show... but they sound more like Weird Al parody level songs.

    The Tom Brady ads can end already. I get it... he was a great QB. But I don't watch football to hear Tom Brady. So hyping a game by saying he is announcing it has to be a major insult to the teams actually playing the game...

    It's trending more and more that Love is going to play after one day's rest, so that is a positive. But he still needs to play better than game 1. While not Bears QB bad, 50% completion rate isn't the level he needs to be at. Plus he had many shots at the endzone with minimal success. Got to get Watson and Musgrave going in the red zone! Plus, the easy way to prevent missed FGs is to score TDs!!! 😉

    Wilson CAN play MLB. But so can I. Doesn't mean he should. Wilson had a great game last week but his history is the of a below average starter and never at MLB. There is a reason he is our first LB off the field. Not to mention taking turns with Cooper. He is best as a backup and ST. In four years as a MN starter, Wilson only had one season close to the same stats as Walker put up in both his first two years. And he had 3 years of significantly less production. MN thought so much of him that they let him walk in FA. He bounced between two teams the next year before sticking with us as a ST specialist. Koonce was an UDFA LB that was developed over several years and not a savvy vet that we plugged into the defense and made an immediate difference. Koonce's first two years were just about the same as Walker's. Koonce didn't do anything significantly better until year 5. And that was one year and then he fell off the cliff after that.

    Note: When copy/pasting from an external site (especially this much of it), post the original link and make it clear what is your words vs the copy paste. Italics or indentations normally make it clear. I mentioned this before but I see slow progression of Walker in his three years: Year 1: Played with his hair on fire, but out of control often. Year 2: Under control more, but still out of position often, wrong lanes, blocked very easily. Year 3: (small sample of 2 games), he is in position more often, but still struggles to finish the plays. Yes, they are small gains, but gains none the less. He isn't going to be Ray Lewis, but I do think he is a starter in the NFL. I do believe he is better suited for a 4-3 OLB, but no idea why that article said Cooper wasn't an MLB. I'd bet that once Cooper gets better acclimated, you will see him take the MLB with Walker moving out. McDuffie then playing Wilson's role in base only.
  9. CheezWizHed
    I tend to think (hope?) that Cooper will eventually take over at MLB and let Quay run at OLB instead. My guess is that this was the plan until Coop got hurt and stunted his development. Now they are playing him 50% with Wilson to get him in the game. I'd suspect by mid-year he is starting; possibly replacing McDuffie. Might be next year before they'd swap Cooper and Walker (unless an injury forces it). But seriously? We think Wilson being plugged into MLB is suddenly going to better at MLB (a position he doesn't play)? He had a great game last week, but often pairs them with bad games. He is a great ST player, and good backup LB, but not great starter. That is why he is going 50/50 with Cooper now. One might say with fans like this, who needs enemies? 😉😂

    No doubt he came in raw as a player. His calling card was 99% physical properties and has been learning to play the position. As a rookie he was all emotion and speed and it got him in trouble. Last year he played "OK", but clearly learning the position. This year, he is getting in the right spots, but not always able to finish the play. There is improvement, but it is taking time. It will be interesting to see Cooper and he on the field at the same time. That speed has a lot of potential to make a special defense. And by special, I mean top 10 (at least top 15). That unfortunately is "special" compared to what we've had. 😂

    With CC running south to the north side, I feared losing Hook more than losing CC...

    I think posting a selfie should be required after this comment. 😉

    How many SBs did the last Heath Shuler win?😂 Sorry... I just wasn't expecting a SB discussion with Heath Shuler included in it. History has a pretty good record of showing that the game-manager QB with strong run game and top-5 defense can win SBs, but not often. The easiest way to win a SB is to have one of the top QBs of the year and surround him with as much talent as possible.
  14. CheezWizHed
    So just like the Packers (knee injury with an inexperienced backup), but for longer. Any FA QBs in NCAA-land? Can they transfer mid-season yet???
  15. CheezWizHed
    To clarify my previous statements, QBs like Rodgers and Favre would be starting QBs on any NFL team in their eras. And they would probably be successful. But I think they found situations where they were paired with key people that elevated their games to HOF careers. The opposite examples work too. Matt Flynn looked like a legit starting QB filling in for the Packers... but looked horrible after leaving the Packers. Purdy strikes me a bit like Flynn. Smart QB that is accurate and plays well within his system. I'm not sure he'd see that level of success on every other team like he has for the 49ers. WOW against the Packers, but also WOW that downward trend line... Looks like the dude was figured out and he hasn't adjusted (or can't).

    Time for a triple play!
  17. CheezWizHed
    But not on the basepaths. My goodness he was pulling a plow around the bases.
  18. CheezWizHed
    Squirrels I believe...
  19. CheezWizHed
    Wow! We have him totally out of position at TE then! 😉😂
  20. CheezWizHed
    Gary Anderson crossed my mind while watching this game. 😢
  21. CheezWizHed
    They don't announce it until later...
  22. CheezWizHed
    I'm not going to buy-in on Darnold and the Vikings quite yet... 😉 but yes.
  23. CheezWizHed
    I think the only thing definite is that if the Bears took him, he would've been a QB bust. 😂 I think a players success is very dependent on the situation and coaching he gets. Favre without Holmgren makes him ?? Rodgers without Clement working with him makes him ?? I think there are few players that just succeed anywhere and everywhere. Certainly Rodgers is better than many QBs out there... but often the differentiator between the very good and the HOF is the situation he is put in (IMO).
  24. CheezWizHed
    It is an easy statement to say since no one can disprove it... But team dynamics and drafting changes so much with such a key player. Does he get along with the HC and players? Does his salary impact the 49ers cap to the point where they have to let others go? Maybe Rodgers was/is a caustic person that didn't help the lockeroom at all? A butterfly flaps its wings... As much as we bemoan not winning more SBs with Favre & Rodgers, very few QBs have won multiple in that span. Winning a SB is hard.
  25. CheezWizHed
    Yeah, I forgot to mention a lack of Cooper out there playing this week. That was disappointing. Despite the gripes, Walker is actually pretty good player. He misses plays at times (i.e. INT glancing off his helmet), but part of that is being in the right place to almost make the play. We haven't had an MLB be able to do that for a while. And Wilson made a great INT... but adding Cooper's speed would've looked great yesterday. Thus the D still has room to improve.
