Gannon's best year was also characterized by a lot of short passes to Tim Brown and Jerry Rice who picked up a lot of YAC, iirc. And even then he didn't really look as impressive as Favre did during his three MVP seasons.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJlNhQrXNSA&t=60s


Without the interception returns (which the defense isn't responsible for) the game is 17-24 and still very within winnability. Warner threw for 216 yards and the Rams ran for 91, which was quite a bit less than they'd put up all season. The Packers also fumbled twice on top of getting picked six times.

I'm still a little disappointed that Mike McKenzie - Al Harris - Darren Sharper never really worked out long term, that was a big ballhawk secondary.


Even if Favre hadn't turned it over (and he did play a bad game, that is probably the worst of his career), he would've had to have been amazing. Even the 02 Rams still had a very potent offense, and I don't think the Packers defense would've held up. The Rams barely did anything in the second half of the game (Due to Favre turnovers), which is one reason the yardage was so low.

And the that secondary was good on paper, but Sharper could never tackle and the Packers had a hideous hole at the other S spot. Remember Bhawoh Jue?

Is there some kind of Moneyball science sweeping the NFL now?

That's not to say that the team shouldn't adapt to the times. In fact, taking a proactive approach to things like football analytics -- which the Jacksonville Jaguars are doing with mindboggling alacrity -- can be an important part of shaping an organization's identity.

Drafting well and not going nuts in free agency doesn't really seem like a new thing. The Steelers did it for a very long time in the recent past and took two Super Bowls. The Niners and Seahawks are doing the same thing now and both have seen a ton of success. These poor sportswriters are really scrapin the bottom of the barrel already.

Yeah the only recent huge free agency splash that immediately turned a team into a contender was Peyton going to Denver, and it's hard to not improve when you have possibly the 2nd greatest* QB of all time join the team.

I'm probably the Mike Miller of posting since I get unreasonable amounts of playing time despite not really making an impact except very, very, very occasionally.

Also, any article whose advice is, "The Cowboys need to do a lot of thing... like draft a QB instead of filling more pressing needs! And retaining Jason Garrett for 'identity purposes!'" is something that needs to be forwarded to Jerry Jones ASAP. Really, why don't owners read op-eds more often? That's what the press world wants to know!

Doltos posted:

Also the gunslinging was perfectly acceptable until very recently. I'd say around 2006 is when teams wanted their QB to stop taking risks and start targeting efficient plays.

I think Marino is one of the best QBs of all time and his INT rates look just as bad as Favre's. People just took more risks back then.

this is what my Dad always told me about Dan Fouts when I'd bring up his interception total.

Well he also said they should quit drafting for need, and taking a QB to groom to eventually take over for their mid-30s injury-prone QB is not really the worst idea in the world, even though I'd probably wait a year on it.

The article wasn't anything groundbreaking but most of the ideas in it were fine.

But I thought that everyone pretty much agreed that the Jaguars' FA moves this year have been pretty bad? I mean Bryant and Clemons are both decent players, but they overpaid on all of their pickups and haven't addressed some of their substantial weaknesses. Maybe they're just too smart for me and I'm in that old school "give money to players who don't suck" mindset?

Not because of the game, I was just less than two years old so I assume I cried at least once that day.

I don't think he was joking. You could argue that for one year Gannon was up there with just about anyone, I just don't happen to agree with it.

I wasn't. Rich Gannon was pretty much my hero as a kid though and a huge part of the reason I became a Raider fan, so I might be a bit biased. Although, like you said, it's not outlandish to put his MVP year up there with the best handful or so of seasons by a QB in history.
