My first probation here was for giving someone poo poo over cheering for a tackle that badly scrambled the brains of a Packers player back in '06 Tbh it's been weird seeing concussions become a major deal in public discourse like 8 years after that remember the days of JACKED UP clips? They just kinda quietly stopped doing these

Athanatos posted:Seems like a good time for a reminder the Chat Thread is a thing. It's there now and during the season for all your off topic chat stuff. One thing I have noticed over the past decade plus is that there's far less discussion of actual news over the past like five seasons. Usually people will make 2-3 comments on a news article and then resume general chitchat. Used to be you'd get pages of discussion and additional sources. I don't think the division threads are helping this any. Did you guys know Dorial Green-Beckham was cut recently?

Metapod posted:Also why would a dude from Georgia who played in Detroit for his whole career be dead set on Oakland and not say like New England if he wanted to win so bad Sincerely I think it's because if you go to New England and help Brady win another ring you end up as another cog in the engine (a la Randy Moss if they had actually won) but if you go to Oakland with a young, mostly "unproven" quarterback and a flaming hot team on the upswing you can get massive amounts of attention and credit Sometimes winning isn't the only thing, it's how you win

The Packers are so strange. How do you have Rodgers, a very good offensive line, a ridiculously deep receiving corps, a top 5 DT, a good pass rusher, a top 6 ( ) safety, and still struggle* like they do?Like obviously last season they went deep in the playoffs after running the table but this is the sort of team that should be cutting through opponents like a hot knife through butter. And the past several years are just a consistent pattern of blown opportunities and massive playoff chokes. The NFL is hard.

His first two seasons he took the Packers from 4-12 to the conference championship, then three seasons later won the Super Bowl. He has a lot of flaws but I really can't think of anyone available to replace him that would actually be better. Fat Mike is still a fantastic QB coach as well. I'm not gonna toss away a coach who wins almost 2 out of every 3 games. Look what happened to the Chargers when they tried that strategy. Kalli posted:The Packers basically get injured every year and fall apart because instead of shoring up weak spots on their roster with mid-level veterans during the offseason they rely on random low draft picks and UDFA's, and then whoops, turns out those guys suck and the team suddenly has huge glaring problems. I think it's more this. The Packers have never had good S&C, injuries have been a severe issue for the team going back to the early 00s. Ted is ridiculously conservative as a GM. It works out fine over the long term, we haven't had cap issues in years and we go to the playoffs every season, but it means it's a harder hill to climb for individual seasons.

fsif posted:I don't follow the Packers very closely, but from the bits and pieces I hear mostly from podcasts, didn't coaching decisions pretty much just waste most of the career of Clay Matthews? We haven't had a good ILB since Hawk left the team (and he wasn't good either, just consistent) so for a few seasons they put Clay in the middle because everyone else was godawful. Hard to rush the QB when you're putting out fires everywhere else on the defense. Before that, there was never any investment in pass rushers to complement Clay, so he consistently got schemed against by opponents and shut out because there wasn't anyone else to worry about. This got a bit better when Peppers came onto the team, and the past season with Peppers/Perry/Matthews all together was pretty decent but still underwhelming for Clay compared to his first few seasons. There's a bunch of young ILBs who look promising right now and Perry is coming into his prime (hopefully) so maybe Clay will have a couple more good seasons on the outside before he really gets into the 30-something decline.

Those guys love him. quote:I think they all recognized the value of what we are trying to do here, in showing a side of life in the NFL that people don’t ever get to see. This is what happens when a season goes bad. When you watch the show, you’ll see it’s not because they aren’t working hard and it’s not because they aren’t trying their best, and it’s not because they aren’t talented players and brilliant coaches. Sounds like a good watch. Looking forward to the Bucs on Hard Knocks, wondering what team will get All or Nothing this year.

I'm serious, it's Jim Brown and it's not remotely close. Everyone you're discussing are all scuffling up a dust cloud at #2. #1 is Jim Brown. He was transcendental. He put up numbers better than modern RBs while playing in 12/14 game seasons. He's the only RB to average more than 100 ypg. He got more than 5 ypc. He's easily in the top 10 for every other rushing stat despite playing only 118 games (#28 on rushing attempts) while the other top RBs played 160+ games. Emmitt Smith ran the ball twice as much as Jim Brown but only has 50% more yards. He didn't just change the game, he dominated (and lacrosse too) and no one since has been comparable.

Kalli posted:Jim Brown played against a bunch of dudes smaller then today's punters. quote:Brown played at 6-2, 232 pounds, and history has catalogued him as a battering ram who pounded smaller players into submission. He did plenty of that, but Brown was much more. LeBeau was drafted by Cleveland in 1959, spent part of a training camp with the Browns and then was traded to Detroit. “Jim Brown was a combination of speed and power like nobody who has ever played the game,” says LeBeau. “Obviously arm tackles were not going to slow him down, but he was so elusive. If he got into the secondary, he was so good at setting you up and then making you miss. You just didn’t know if you were going to get a big collision or be grabbing at his shoelaces.” quote:But of course he can. Belichick possesses one of the best football minds in history. He does not see what everybody sees, even in highlights. You prod him forward. Brown was called a fullback. But was he a fullback? “He was a combination of a fullback and a halfback,” says Belichick. “He had great power and leverage, but he was also very elusive in the open field like a halfback. His quickness, straight-out speed and elusiveness were all exceptional. And he was all of 230 pounds. He was bigger than some of the guys blocking for him. I mean, they might have weighed more, pumped up, but Jim’s hands, his forearms, his girth. He was bigger.”

It's very telling that the argument for why Jim Brown isn't the greatest RB ever is that he was too much better than his contemporaries.

Eifert Posting posted:Jim Brown would be dominant in today's NFL. Anyone who thinks he wouldn't be a perennial allpro is nuts. Forget the other people around him and watch the way he moves on the field in clips. Brown was also very intelligent and a huge film study. He didn't dominate simply on his physical abilities and instincts, he knew the game and his opponents inside out.

Shangri-Law School posted:MMQB did that all-time draft we've sometimes tried around here, but they actually finished theirs. Snake draft for players, then reverse-order draft for coaches. Joel Bussert got LT, Bruce Smith and Warren Sapp, somehow. Jim Brown first RB drafted  Aside from that some of these early picks are... questionable. Unitas the first (and presumably "best") QB? Don Hutson as the best WR? Like all the arguments against Jim Brown actually for real apply to Don Hutson, even if he transformed the game and brought us the whole idea that a WR can be a huge part of the offense catching passes. Turney's offense is going to be able to be significantly more complex and dynamic. Like holy poo poo Aaron Rodgers throwing to two of the very best route runners and catchers in the game's history? Then Gonz and Faulk on top of that? And the OL is monstrously huge. You'd see miracle throws and catches on every single play. Rodgers could probably run that offense blindfolded. But McGinn's offense has a shitload of pure physical talent, really enormously good athletes that are going to be nearly-impossible to defend against. Even the receivers aside, imagine trying to pressure Marino when you have to go through Jones and Pace and when he can just fling the ball down for Megatron/Julio/Gronk to pull out of the air? I think that's something that would actually come down to coaching and play design. Belichick gives the Rodgers offense a massive edge over Gibbs and Marino & company, IMO.
