OT: The Football Thread

Sounds like you don't remember 1994.

With that piece of shit Hextall? I remember well

I didn’t think about the ambassador angle and you may very well be right about that. Unfortunately, you probably remember who took over for him while he was gone.

Even in that situation, I’m getting Jim Carrey/Jeff Daniels vibes if you get my drift.

I do get it- not sure which one is dumber.

Joe Douglas fired today. Not a surprise but this means Woody will pick the new GM before he gets his ambassador job back.

Not a great job. Either you come in and run another year with Rodgers at QB or you move off him and figure out the $49 mill remaining in cap charges on him, plus need to find a QB, but in this draft, it's not great. Nothing really in free agency. Jets banked on these 2 seasons to do something, pushing $49 mill of the $75 mill paid of cap charges into the future.

My biggest gripe with Douglas was committing to Becton for too long and not addressing the O-line / backup QB last season.

Not entirely his fault that Rodgers tore his Achilles on the 4th play of the game in an 'all-in' season. That injury significantly affected him this season as well. And not surprising considering his age...

Douglas built a respectable roster but in the end, you need to win games.
