I probably missed the irony but…Donald hasn’t assaulted anyone. I mean except for football players. But even then, it’s only offensive football players.

I didn’t read what you posted…so….

I got a push notification on my phone that said a guy claimed Donald assaulted him “for no reason.”

Which…you know…doesn’t really seem likely. And I responded to that here without reading the other articles.

“I got friends that are Muslim.”

I understand Ramswire running the story about Kroenke, but why did CBS Sports run this headline?

Why feature the THIRD richest guy? Jerry Jones and David Tepper are both richer, and Jones has greater notoriety.

I worry about Jefferson’s toughness. Woods and Kupp can take the physical part of the game–I’ve seen signs that Jefferson has some “Isaac Bruce” to him, meaning the part of Bruce that would not take hits or get the best out of physical contact situations.

I always suspected that you hate Isaac Bruce. The only mystery is why it took you so long to express it.

It’s amazing how many Seahawks fans are on this board when it’s such a small board.

Remember when Mike Martz threw a fit when Cris Carter dallied in Cleveland on his way to St. Louis in order to feign interest in other offers in an attempt to drive up the Rams’ desire for him and Martz, in what may be the apex of his hubris, told Carter to go screw himself if he was going to make Martz late for dinner?

Yeah.

I remember that.

The DeSean Jackson signing just reminds me of that even though they have nothing in common apart from they are two WRs near the end of their careers.

Yeah. Mike Martz. Where is old Mike now?

Look for the 49ers to try (unsuccessfully) to sell the idea that Garoppolo will remain in place, in order to build some trade leverage. Unless they can find a trade partner or get Jimmy to take less, Jimmy likely will be gone.

And then he’ll be free to sign with any other team. Like maybe the Patriots.

I like the sound of that.

The 49ers could get nothing for Garoppolo, and then draft Johnny Manziel. Terrific. Love it.

That, my friends, is what I call a Plan.

Bulger threw 22 ints with 7 fumbles when he was 26 like Goff was this year. That was his fourth year in the league and first full year starting.

The next year he threw 14 ints in only 14 games.

The Lions and Holmes, meanwhile, seem like they are committing to Goff as they just freed up a bunch of cap space for this year by converting Goff’s 2021 salary to a bonus and pushing his $$$ onto future years of their cap.

Aren’t you concerned that all signs point to Holmes and the Lions investing in Goff?

You might want to save some of that dog doo for my house too.

I have an 80lb dog, so I’m looking for more places to distribute it. You can DM your address, and I’ll bring you some.

Anyway. I have been a defender of Goff all along. He is good enough to win a Super Bowl. But the Thiry article just rings true to me. That’s not to say that Goff couldn’t mature his way into an excellent QB, and I wouldn’t even bet against it. But I do think his disappointing progression is on him. And to me, there is just a question there. Part of Goff’s erratic play was making poor reads. That’s what people in a position to know have said. He just didn’t make reads at times.

Why not? Some people are saying 5 years isn’t enough time. I’m inclined to think that by Year 5, he should have been better. That’s all.

2019, imo, is accounted for by broken Gurley and broken OL.

In any event, I hope Stafford is a quick learner. And the OL is good. And Akers stays healthy. And Jackson still has jets. And Fuller makes us forget Johnson. And Donald finally lives up to his full potential.

Well, we gotta hope McVay is a better learner than Goff.

Cuz…really, tearing down a young guy like that constantly, and with increasing intensity, is a mistake. Like a “league source” said, you have to build his confidence, and McVay did the opposite of that.

However, the word is that Goff just couldn’t read some defenses properly, and he should have got better at that. Can’t forget the great McVay in the headset scandal from their early years together. And we can’t forget that Jared Goff is probably the only student at UC Berkeley who could not accurately say where the sun rises and sets. I mean… it could just be that old Goff has a million dollar body and a ten cent head.

In any event, the more I read about Stafford, the more exciteder I get.
