45 seems crazy high to me.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Two great defence teams. Under on 45 is buying money

DeMeco’s D showing up in big moments so far.

 

[Alan]

And I love Jimmy G. Guts over talent.

 

[big mean bunny]

He is due 26million next year is the issue as can't see anyone trading for that, looks like they can cut him and it only equate to about 1.7 mil if I have read it right.

Issue is what is Trey Lance, I took him 2nd overall in a Dynasty Rookie league where I was desperate for a QB, it's been a tough year since. He has had availability issues as well as not seeming ready, so it's not a tremendous indication he is just going to step in next year and be the unquestionably starter. Obviously got a long time now to continue developing at least.

 

[big mean bunny]

I was going to say that's fairly low for a starting QB, but the issue seems to be they only have 5mil in cap space heading into the offseason and 35 players with deals into next year. Get they can rework a lot of them but it would seem that moving on from JG is the easiest way of freeing up room for Free agents.

 

[Tony Towner]

If he'd had a Foleseque play off run he was always going to be gone after this season. You don't trade the house and then sit the QB you took at 3 for 2 seasons.

 

[Alan]

Yep, Jimmy G was done in SF regardless. Shame that he’s going to bear the brunt of the blame for what was simply an inspired 4th quarter by the Rams D line, but that’s the QB position for you.

 

[Tony Towner]

Brady has retired again

 

[Alan]

Much as I dislike him, he's the GOAT. No doubt.

Wow

Flores sues NFL, teams, alleges racism in hiring

Among Brian Flores' allegations: Dolphins owner Stephen Ross offered him $100K for every loss in 2019 to help with draft position and the Giants conducted a "sham" in-person interview with him to comply with the Rooney Rule after deciding on Brian Daboll.

Flores is one of the final three candidates for the Texans, but presumably he would not file this suit if he thought he was likely to get the job.

The NFL won't want a troublemaking HC (uppity ni**er) so this must make it less likely he gets hired by any team, unless he thinks that the bad publicity for the NFL might pressure Goodell into persuading someone to hire him.

It's racism and everyone knows it's racism, but proving it in a court of law is another matter entirely.

Good luck to him.

 

[The Bear]

Sounds like the sort of shit that goes on behind the scenes in most teams and hiring practices. Not sure why it's racist tbh. I'm sure plenty of guys have been interviewed with the team knowing full well which guy they actually want.

It’s the overarching pattern. I doubt any owners have said “he’s Black! Obviously not smart enough for the job”, but the fact remains that Black coaches are passed over at an alarming rate vs. Whites.

You’d have a hard time building an argument that Matt Eberflus has a better CV than Flores, for example.

I am DYING for New Orleans to hire him after this.

Favourite for Texans job is Josh McCown - with ZERO coaching experience.

 

[Alan]

It's the same shit I was riled up about when Pirlo got the Juve job, or Lampard at Chelsea.

At that level, it's such bald faced nepotism that it boggles the mind that we allow it.

McCown I think could be a good coach some day, but for Houston to have him as their favorite when you still have the likes of Jim Caldwell, Brian Flores, Raheem Morris, Byron Leftwich, etc etc, all awaiting that call... It's really hard to defend or excuse the fact that it happens time and time again.

I think this goes beyond race, it's just corrupt. McCown has nothing to suggest he can coach. That's a joke appointment and disrespectful to everybody who coaches at any level.

This is an example of this utterly stupid notion that because you've played the game you can coach.
