Fair. Perhaps a better measure would be a percentage of 4QCB wins by opportunity. Though if HaHa knocks the ball down, I don't know if the remaining game transpires the same way (butterfly effect and all).Originally Posted by ThunderDan
Fair. Perhaps a better measure would be a percentage of 4QCB wins by opportunity. Though if HaHa knocks the ball down, I don't know if the remaining game transpires the same way (butterfly effect and all).
Ha Ha had two picks, in the game, and he could not slap down a silly duck, from Russell?
Football ain't baseball. Bill Buckner let a simple grounder, trickle through his legs, that would have been the last out of the 1986 WEorld Series. He should not have been even in the line up.
He cost the LA Dodgers the World Series, by making the last out at Third Base,
A violation of a cardinal rule of baseball. His saving grace was he was tagged out in the face.
Some baseball stuff. Not to paraphase the Scout Thinking of the MLB, back in the day. He was good looking.
See the movie Moneyball, or read the book.

Jerry Kramers iconic ghostwritten sports diary. He settled for 32, 500 dollars to play right guard for Vince Lombardi, in 1967. with who he negotiated through a Lombardi Lackey.
In todays dollars that would be worth $235,356.89 in 2014
In 1959, Vince Lombardi agreed to being paid 36,000 dollars a year for 5 years. by the Green bay Packers
That was worth $262,869.28 in 2014 dollars.
Point is, an NFL coach mutally agreed to get fired, and three days later signed a piece of paper, is going to get paid
8 million a year in 2015 dollars, by the college he played quarterback for. and which begs a question.....is this sport that vakuable,
to the American Pysche, that we hard working Americans have to put up with this type of insult?
To offer up our sustinance, to it's being?
Seriously, some NFL team, is going to sign a player, sweating through his suit while he tries to print his name, on an NFL Contract,
after 3-4 years of bering coddled, by the "Intitution of Higher Learning" he spent laboring for, during the end months of an annual earthly rotation,
of this planet, in the Northern Hemisphere.

This has been an interesting thread to say the least. In the end I'd rather have Aaron Rodgers under center right now over any other QB in the league - including Brady. Brady is great but he's closer to the end of his career compared to AR.
I would agree to that IF Rodgers had a competent coach calling the plays.
Fixed.

I think you missed blow to the head of a QB first before the facemask.
But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

Do you mean the guy who's offense has ranked in the top 10 4 of the past 5 years?
And the coach with the second highest points per game in NFL history?

I think he's talking about the coach who was in charge of playcalling during "The Big Choke" a few weeks ago in Seattle.
One time Lombardi was disgusted with the team in practice and told them they were going to have to start with the basics. He held up a ball and said: "This is a football." McGee immediately called out, "Stop, coach, you're going too fast," and that gave everyone a laugh.

That's an extremely myopic perspective if so. Four minutes out of nine years does not define a coach. And extrapolating what Vince has argued, those four minutes weren't necessarily even bad play calling.I think he's talking about the coach who was in charge of playcalling during "The Big Choke" a few weeks ago in Seattle.

I would like you or anyone else to explain what was so terrible about the playcalling. Because we ran the ball late in the game up by 12? Thats just logical. It's the weirdest paradox to me. the same section of fans seem to say aaron was sloppy and innaccurate and not himself because of his injury, yet claim McCarthy is a buffoon for not throwing the ball all over the field with 5 mins left up by 12. Can anyone explain that to me?I think he's talking about the coach who was in charge of playcalling during "The Big Choke" a few weeks ago in Seattle.
I think both these things can be true. M3 and Rodgers score an astronomical amount of points in 3 quarters. When the entire offense is made available to them, its beautiful.
I am less impressed with the 4 minute offense's construction. Its not competence, its the approach to minimizing risk.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
I would suggest it's also competence. They have only had a running back with that kind of skill for two years. And they have only had that running back AND AR on the field when both have been healthy for roughly a year. Throw in an offensive line that's finally hitting its stride, and I could argue that they're building their competence for the 4 minute offense, but it isn't there yet.

Yes, if the players had done their jobs and executed the plays we wouldn't be questioning things today.
The subject has been talked to death in another thread(s). The gist of it is if you have to get over a brick wall to win a game, sometimes it makes sense to jump over the wall rather than keep butting your head against it.

I agree. Lacy had three plays to get a first down after Burnett's interception. He didn't do his job and failed to execute. Fire Lacy...or maybe fire the OL. They didn't do their job either.
