    Yeah and really I would put more value on a football head coach than a baseball manager. College sports really is a different beast though because they're not spending a ton of money on players like pro sports teams do. The coaches are the stars for some of these programs. I know it seems like I'm anti-CC but I'm really not. I'm just trying to be objective about how much sense it makes to break the bank on a manager's salary while also pushing back against the idea that the Brewers should pay whatever it takes to keep him. Because people seem to fear that if he moves on the Brewers will become a failure of a team and I don't believe that for a second. If the Brewers end up paying him more than we've even speculated on, $8 million, $9 million, even $10 million, that's fine. I do like CC, I'll be happy if he's still here. I trust the Brewers to know what they're doing either way this goes.

    James Conner is also eligible to come off IR for the Cardinals in week 10 and while there aren't any reports that he definitely will there seems to be a feeling that he should be ready to go. Another point regarding the Packers v. Bears "who is better" is that the Bears were the first team to face the Packers with Love as the QB this season. Once the Packers had played a couple games there was tape on how they played with Love at QB and in a bit of an understatement it sure seems like they've been struggling more on offense since then. The Bears didn't have the benefit of studying tape, they were going in blind.

    That's two guys out of 30. One guy with 57 career playoff games won and multiple WS appearances and the other with 45 career playoff games won and multiple WS appearances. Now a guy with 7 career playoff games won and zero WS appearances wants to be paid more than those guys. How is that not resetting the market?
  4. SeaBass
    Right. Because an analytical front office is going to hire that type of guy. The entire point of my stance is that worshiping at the altar of Craig Counsell is not the only way forward. What a radical idea that is apparently worthy of a good stoning by the citizenry.
  5. SeaBass
    He's managed 4 World Series champions, managed a 5th team that lost a WS and been to 4 other LCS's. I'd pay him too.

    Thing is, if the Brewers have already hypothetically offered $6 then upping it to $7 isn't inherently a bad thing. To me it's more about how he's playing the nickel and dime game to get there. It's his right but if he really wants to manage in Milwaukee, it's his dream, he loves it, then why wring the last penny he possibly can? I both understand and don't at the same time. I just refuse to adhere to the idea that no price is too high. And when you do the thing and give the money for 5 or even 6 years, what happens when 3 years in things aren't going the way you want and want to make a change? You eat 3 years and $21 million dollars. Why? Because you let yourself believe that nobody else could do it? Folly. Not long ago Joe Maddon was the best thing since sliced bread, then the team he took to its first World Series in over a century declined to even offer him an extension and allowed his contract to expire. The next team that hired him fired him after less than two full seasons.

    It's not cheap though. He could be getting a 5 year contract, at $7 million per year that's $35 million when you could easily pay less than half of that on a new guy. $35 million in non-player salary or $10 million? You don't think having an extra $25 million is a good thing?
  8. SeaBass
    Because you can pay someone else less to do the exact same thing and I'd rather spend money on players. Pretty simple. Managers don't have to hit a fastball, they don't strike out, they don't pitch or play defense. This idea that CC is irreplaceable is fantastically over the top dumb.
  9. SeaBass
    There's literally no reason to doubt the story, he wants to reset the manager salary market . Multiple sources have been saying it for weeks. Now you could float the idea he's bluffing which is possible, maybe he won't hard line the absolute top of the market but the JS article says the Brewers have already offered him a contract that would top the current market and he still chose to take interviews. I'm inclined to let him leave. My belief (pure speculation) is that the Brewers have offered in the range of $5.5 to $6 million. Maybe they match $7 but there's also the part of me that feels like I don't want to be part of the clown show where he's having teams out bid each other just so he can make his preferred team raise their offer. The hell with that, you want to play bidding war games then bye bye, see ya later.

    Stearns was hired by the Brewers in late 2015 and had them in the NLCS in 2018. While I think he was ahead of the curve in roster building for that time he could still do it in under 4 or 5 years with the Mets. Yes the Braves and Phillies are good but there are more than enough playoff spots up for grabs.

    This is a lot of hindsight gobbledygook. Got it, you're in the "no risk" camp because you either are or you're not. John Lynch is far from the only GM that's been burned making huge trades for high round QBs. Clearly teams value taking those risks enough to continue making those types of moves. Again, the Packers' risk was pretty mild in comparison. Some people might feel there was a single player that if taken was going to make a difference and change Packers history as we know it. I'm in the group that thinks things would have gone pretty much the same for them as it did. I think Gutekunst will be here through the 2024 season if not longer. This season was never going to be a serious go-for-it type of year so I'm sorry to everyone that wants him gone but he's just not getting fired after this one. Mark Murphy is in charge until the summer of 2025, I think Gutekunst is going to be around for as long as Murphy will be. Maybe he gets fired before the 2025 draft if the board puts pressure on Murphy to make a move going into his lame duck off-season but Murphy is pretty slow to act as shown by his history.

    Frankly I'm tired of this entire narrative. It's a tiny price to pay if you feel like the player is worth it, especially for a QB. The 49ers traded 3 firsts and a 3rd to take Trey Lance. QBs bust all the time, only losing out on one extra 4th round pick is getting off cheap. And we still haven't seen the actual end of Love's story. The other alternative is not taking any risks. I'll take the front office that takes risks all day long.
  13. SeaBass
    This thread has become beyond ridiculous. The underlining thing about it, though it's probably pretty hard to see right now, is that easily 99.9% of the posters here want Craig Counsell to remain the manager of the Milwaukee Brewers.
  14. SeaBass
    I looked up Giannis's FT stats and the last two seasons he's averaged roughly 8 makes out of between 11 to 12 attempts per game. If he can keep that up I honestly think that's more than satisfactory from him.
  15. SeaBass
    Not Giannis's best night, 7 TO, -13 +\- worst on the team (though Bobby's -10 was probably worse considering he played 26 fewer minutes). Feels like he is a bit rusty yet, needs to work on those free throws. Lots of losing control of the ball while dribbling. Good thing Dame found it late or they don't win this one. It also didn't help that it seemed like Philadelphia just could not miss from 3. Sheesh! Gonna be a fun year, looking forward to when they settle in and Dame can just be a dude doing his thing instead of the new guy finding his way.

    There's really no point in denying permission, his contract will expire in a matter of days anyway and he'll be free to talk to anyone. Denying CC permission at this point would only serve to annoy him and they don't want to do that if they want him to stay in Milwaukee.
  17. SeaBass
    He pump faked to get the defender in the air and then immediately threw the ball. You're really demanding absolute perfection here? Doubs was open and it's 4th down, you throw to the open guy. Doubs had his shoulders mostly square to Love. The throw was on his back shoulder. I'm not sure why this is even an argument. As far as it being the only option, it was. Two receiver set, no other routes and Reed was doubled. Looks like both DBs stacked on Doubs and Reed and both followed Reed. Guy in the foreground is the LB. Nobody else in the end zone to throw to. Again, it's 4th down. Gotta make a play. I get Love had a very uninspiring game, this play wasn't one of the problems though.

    Way to penalty us into this potentially becoming a fart in the wind. That was pathetic. Why?
  19. SeaBass
    Except it wasn't.
  20. SeaBass
    That's how you draw up a TD play. Lmao
  21. SeaBass
    The guy is an idiot if he thinks that's how the rule works. If it did there wouldn't be a reason to have the rule because the chances of two players having their feet down at exactly the same time are slim to none.
  22. SeaBass
    He's essentially the GM of the football team. People want LaFleur fired? He's making the call. Want Gute fired, Murphy's your guy there too. He's also going to be the one hiring their replacements. I think he matters.
  23. SeaBass
    Murphy is only going to be president until July 2025 so his haters don't have to wait too much longer.
  24. SeaBass
    Then the vaunted Broncos offense marches down the field and gets the FG with under a minute on the clock. Well done defense, you kept the lid on most of the half, good time to fall apart. Guess you forgot what was working.
  25. SeaBass
    The Bears are a better team than this one.
