OT: Football thread (2024 season)

[sbjnyc]

If the Giants like a QB, and trade down for a haul instead, fold the franchise.

If they don't like a QB? Go for it.

The Giants have 7 losses by 1 score. Add an average QB and the season would look very different. Not quite a playoff team, but not far off.

When you consistently win or lose very close games there is a lot of luck involved unless you have the M-factor.

Over the last 2 seasons in games decided by 3 or less, the Chargers lost 11 straight. Reverse that and their 13-18 combined record becomes 24-7 and they look like a very differently but that 11 straight stat tells you they're probably not as good as their record says they are (Sorry Bill).

This season the Chiefs won 10 games by 1 score or less yet they are 13-1. We know they're not as good as hey were last year but last year they won 5 of their last 6 games by 1 score or less (so 15 straight). Maybe Mahomes can do that for KC but don't expect to draft a QB who could repeat that.

Jerry Jones Talks About Eating Raccoons, and Squirrel Brains

Let’s check in on Dallas: Cowboys owner Jerry Jones on @1053thefan when asked if he’s ever had raccoon after it was recently mentioned by Panthers WR Xavier Legette: “I’ve eaten a lot of raccoon. The answer is yes. … It’s not uncommon at all. One of my favorites is squirrel. It’s wonderful. We...

Jerry Jones says brains are delicious.

If I'm the Giants, I'm trading the top 3 pick for a haul for a team desperate for a QB. They need so much besides a QB.

Trade down two or three spots for someone who desperately wants Hunter or Shadeur for an extra 1st round pick and take Ward.

I think Cam Ward is going to be a massive disappointment in the NFL. I think you either take Hunter and have an insane 1-2 WR and hope you can pry Darnold out of Minny or you trade down for a haul and build the team. Be bad again and hope Arch falls into your lap.

If he can win a Conn Smythe, he can QB the New York giants.

Four Verts: Race for No. 1 draft pick is splashing in sewer puddles, while Colts wrecked playoff hopes in worst way possible

With three games left in the regular season, Charles McDonald sizes up a sad race for the top pick, lavishes godlike praise on Josh Allen, and laughs at an awesomely bad game from the weekend.

The NY NFL teams have competition for the first 2 OA picks.

This draft doesn't have a great QB. But I'm really tired of the "they need so much more than a QB narrative". QB is not equal to other positions. It's the most important position and this take on the matter treats it like it's a linebacker or something. A QB can definitely improve a team significantly all by himself. Look at the Commanders. Waiting for a QB when the team is better instead of taking one when they have a chance is an absolutely ridiculous way to build a team. As I said neither Sanders nor Cam are great prospects and if that's your position I respect it. But not because they have other holes. And who knows where they'll be picking next year.

HOLY f***! LOL

"To some, the reference to the video game ratings is a sign of Johnson allowing his teenage sons, Brick and Jack, to influence the franchise.​

​

'When we’re discussing things, you’ll hear Woody cite something that Brick or Jack read online that’s being weighed equally against whatever opinion someone else in the department has,' said one Jets executive.​

​

Current and former players and coaches have also said Brick and Jack have brought friends — male and female — into the locker room, where Woody Johnson, his wife, Suzanne Ircha Johnson, and his sons have criticized players.​

​

In another instance, on Halloween night this season, Rodgers entered the locker room with a game ball prepared to be given to interim coach Jeff Ulbrich, who just recorded his first win. Instead, Brick Johnson took it upon himself to award a game ball to wide receiver Garrett Wilson."​

The bold is f***ing insane. Holy shit. Lmfao.

But what do you expect from someone named "Brick"?

 

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

woody Johnson a big ben folds fan??

The name Brick Johnson should be reserved for your platoons heavy machine gunner on Iwo Jima, not your team owner’s fail-son.

it would be a great porn name

 

[Gordon Bombay]

If this story was about anyone else I wouldn’t believe it but attach Woody Johnson to it and I completely believe it.

This team has no chance until every last bit of that family’s DNA is gone from it

 

[NickyFotiu]

Anyone watch the Aaron Rodgers deal on Netflix? Is it worth watching?

Named after d'brickashaw ferguson?

Edit: Actually his name is Robert Wood Johnson V and his nickname is Brick after the former Jets LT. I think kid brick was born right before the jets drafted man brick.
