    I’m not doing anything. Other than pushing hard for Sanders up to the moment he is officially out of the running. After that, I have no plans, except to join in the push for the midterms in 2018. My state is not going to go to Trump in November. So I think I’m not likely to be placed in the desperate position of having to drink a quart of whiskey to work up the nerve to vote for Hillary, and then collapsing in sobs on the floor.

    What’s this I hear about Maine doing away with super delegates, or forcing them to represent the popular vote?

    Is it good whisky?

    Does it need to be?

    No whisky should be wasted on Hillary.

    I appreciate what you’re doing Z.

    But I don’t buy in. Trump would be worse.

    I’ve been putting up with LePage as governor in Maine. Worse is worse.

    People can do what they want, and I won’t be trying to talk anyone into anything. So just saying for the record, worse is worse, and that’s how I personally line up with this.

    “… I would say Trump’s campaign thus far has been far more in line with Pat Buchanan’s presidential campaigns as well as Ross Perot.”

    —————–
    Could be. I can definitely see a lot of Perot and Pat Buchanan people
    supporting Trump.

    Thing is, Buchanan didnt get the numbers Trump is getting. So, why the change? Same question i have about Bernie. Why now?

    Very interesting election.

    Buchanan’s 2000 campaign is almost exactly Trump’s now. The difference is 16 more years of across the board decline and Buchanan ran as the Reform Party candidate in 2000. Trump was willing to campaign on the issues that the professional candidates wouldn’t touch because they were taking money from interests wanting to maintain the status quo.

And now some of those factions are splitting apart. I suspect some of the rightwing supporters who liked Ross Perot, are the ones supporting Trump now.”

    Multiple factions are not involved. The pundits like to claim that but they as shown for the last year are out of touch with the conservative base of the party. The base is fed up with RINOs campaigning as conservative to get into office. This nation’s economy is in the shitter. Conservatives are tired of being somewhat accommodated on social issues while the economy is destroyed. To keep voting for the same would be to reaffirm the RINO supposition that conservative are brain dead. Of course it remains a great economy around DC and pols of both parties enter as middle class congressmen and after a few terms exit as multimillionaires usually staying in DC to become lobbyists desiring to further destroy the economy. Conservatives see this and are fed up. I believe the same dynamic is in play with the democrats supporting Bernie. How brain dead do you have to be to be a union member still voting for the democrat party? It is astonishing how lemming like they are while unions are being decimated. Same for blacks voting democrat that care about jobs. Obama has been the worst for job creation and with his flooding this country with illegal aliens who are overwhelmingly unskilled the stiff competition for entry level jobs will only result in ever lower wages. Trump is an outsider. He highlighted issues that directly effect the workers in this country that are watching their real income fall consistently while worrying if their job is secure since they don’t see job opportunities to replace the wage they have. Obamacare is a disaster for the individual that lost their previous healthcare insurance because of it and it is a disaster to the budget. Conservatives see crystal clear that SOTH Paul Ryan immediately rolled over to pass it. Trump calls it like it is that the War on Iraq was because of a lie told to the people and that it has been a horrific failure. The TPP like NAFTA and GATT before it place the economic burden on working americans while Wall St. and the beltway crowd profits. There’s more but you get the idea. I would say Trump’s campaign thus far has been far more in line with Pat Buchanan’s presidential campaigns as well as Ross Perot.

    I don’t need to take up anything with them, but I get your point.

    I know the history of this offense which is why I chronicled it. I know what it is.

    Moreover, much of why Wentz actually got any play to the Rams as early as he did was because NDSU runs a run-heavy WCO variant that has VERY similar elements to the quasi-WCO run-heavy offense the Rams run.

    The parallels allowed for substantial overlap which is why Wentz, the inferior passer with less experience, was seen as the superior option for the Rams by most of the voices I trust like Cosell, Mayock and several others including being mobile and being able to create after a play breaks down.

    /shrug.

    Point is that with the focus on the Rams for some time, there wasn’t any question the Rams ran a WCO. I call it a “quasi-WCO” because it still has vestiges of the Schotty Coryell elements. Enough seem to have been purged that it’s definitely MORE of a WCO and recognized by those that dissect it as a WCO, but it has…other elements.

    It’s a bit of a Franken-offense. Mostly a WCO, though.

    Yet given the opportunity to pick Wentz, they didn’t. They went with Goff because he better fit the Air Coryell offense of the Rams. If there’s any vestiges of a system it would be of the WCO run by Spags which Bradford had his first year then the change to Air Coryell with Fisher. Face it there’s nothing left on offense from Spags.

    You mean like Fisher’s adapted the offense to all the other QBs when Bradford went down?

    Hmmmm.

    I have a doubt.

    It will stay Air Coryell as it has since Fisher became head coach of the Rams.

    It’s not a Coryell.

    It’s a quasi-WCO based on the vestiges of the Shotty hybrid Coryell/WCO system.

    They moved it more toward a traditional WCO with Cignetti and Boras, but it’s still got parts of Schotty’s offense.

    The direct answer is that no, we don’t run a Coryell variant, it’s a quasi-WCO or a “kinda” WCO.

    Take it up with profootballreference.com which lists the 2015 Rams and Cardinals as Air Coryell and the Seahawks and 49ers as WCO. 2015 Rams passing looked like AC to me, albeit the worst AC I’ve ever seen.

    Kurt Warner was a successful pocket passer since Montana.

    Martz didn’t run a WCO. That’s the point. Pocket Passer. In a WCO.

    Pocket Passer in a WCO.

    Pocket passers in a WCO? Why? This Rams team? If the system remains the same as in 2015 the Rams system is listed as Air Coryell not WCO. There are successful pocket passers in Air Coryell. Like Kurt Warner.

    He sure did as General Grant. President Grant was different.

    “In order to woo Jewish voters, Democrats thrust the issue back into the spotlight when Grant ran for president in 1868. Grant won that election comfortably, however, and never again made another anti-Jewish pronouncement. In fact, he appointed more Jews to public office than any of his predecessors, advocated on behalf of persecuted Jews in Russia and Romania and opposed an amendment to add the words “Christian government” to the Constitution. He also became the first president to attend a synagogue dedication, surprising the congregation by staying for three full hours.”

    So put the kid in the shotgun formation.

    It’s precisely what they don’t do, and precisely what Keenum proved a spread qb doesn’t HAVE to do.

    It’a play action offense. You don’t have a play action offense unless the qb is under center. He has to make calls at the line based on pre-snap reads to adjust the running game, and he has to drop back from center to execute play action.

    As I said, Keenum already demonstrates that a spread qb can transition.

    Still can’t see why he can’t do all that from the shotgun. Perhaps changing the offense to accommodate a number 1 overall draft pick this time is a good idea.

    Mack can you address what bnw had to say in his post?

    I mean, you are preaching to the choir with the rest of us.
    Its people who share bnw’s ideas that should be the target
    audience. Can there be any meaningful communication between
    you and him on this subject?

    He says the ‘earth has cooled’. Has it?

    w
    v

    Yes since 1998 it has cooled. Consistently. At the very time the global warming alarmists assured everyone that warming was to continue and accelerate. So incomplete modeling with further corrupted data was foisted upon the public as the alarmists colluded to further fudge, cherry pick or ignore data that worked against their global warming agenda. Since they’ve been discredited for 15 years they change the mantra to climate change. Now the issue is feedback loops within the earth that have somehow stalled, no actually reversed the temperature trend they colluded to maintain. But they assure us that these feedback loops can only continue this for a little longer before the system fails and accelerating global temps will be the result. Problem is this latest feedback loops hypothesis relies upon modeling based upon a terribly flawed equation as discovered by the world’s foremost authority on temperature feedbacks Prof. Ray Bates of Dublin, Ireland. He disputes the amplifying mechanisms and that the feedbacks do not work the way the models say. Thus the 3 deg C increase is in reality at most 1 deg C which means no global warming.

    Solar radiation reaching earth is what drives the climate. Yes it is that obvious but remains untaxable rendering it useless to those with a taxation and power grabbing agenda.

    It’s fine to look at the positives.

    However, it’s also a fact that no QB has come into a situation like THIS with THIS difficult a schedule and been successful.

    I’ll root just as hard as everyone else.

    I’m just not setting my expectations on an unrealistic deep playoff run when there’s just nothing to justify that.

    I said 9-7 or better. With a decent QB the Rams could have been undefeated in their division last season. The deep playoff run is all yours not mine.

    You’ll have to ask Scalia’s family about that ‘cuz they could always have ordered one.

    Or been told to not order one. Someone serving that high an office in government demands an autopsy.

    Yeah, that probably wouldn’t have aroused the family’s suspicions at all.

    Suspicion isn’t the issue. Having the stones to demand an autopsy when told not to is the issue. Much like Ross Perot dropping out of the ’92 presidential election WHILE LEADING. Like the Scalia family they got to Ross too.

    I can tell you that every time i hear a story on NPR about ‘trans-gender this or that’ or ‘LGBT this or that’ I just let an expletive fly and i turn off the radio. The house is on fire and the corporate-media is patting amerika on the back for being so progressive about who can go in what bathroom.

    I do the same thing with NPR. News that matters isn’t discussed. Only the divisive social stuff that distracts people from the issues that really matter. Remember when it was supposed to be commercial free?

    I like Wentz too but they put their money on the quick release qb with the superior pocket presence, and that’s just not a bad bet.
