    I'm not arguing to defend Garrett, but if you define success as Super Bowls, and most fans do then yeah he has zero success just like everyone else who doesn't have a Super Bowl which is the entire league outside of a handful.  There are 32 spots to fill though.

    There are a lot of teams for which 8-8 average with a few playoff wins would be an improvement. Also not meant to defend Garrett, but to point out how bad some franchises have it.

  2. I like a lot of those and might watch just to see how they play out. I'm curious on the analytics involved when to go for 1, 2, or 3 after a TD. My guess is that most teams will go for 2 since it's only a one yard difference, and will only go for 3 if needed late in games or to tie.

    My friend who is a scout for an NFL team disagrees with you. :) Of course, that's just his opinion, but he currently sees Hubbard as a 3rd round pick.  That's pretty good, obviously, and he would still make a lot of money, but he said that he could absolutely increase his draft status by coming back and putting up big numbers next year.

    Also - with Dobbins and Taylor coming out this year, it's a pretty deep RB class.  If he stays, he would go into next year as the odds on favorite to be the first RB taken in the 2021 draft.  That's likely not the case this year.

    In terms of work load, remember that it's not like he's a guy who has started 3 years going into his senior year.  He has essentially just  shade over one season of starts under his belt and is a RS sophomore. 

    The only thing that will cost him money by not going out this year is forgoing one year of an NFL paycheck on the front end of his career.  That's not insignificant given the brevity of they typical career of an NFL running back. That's a good enough reason to go out this year, IMO. 

    If he stays, he won't damage his draft status by coming back next year and putting up huge numbers...as a RS junior... Especially if he improves on his known areas of weakness - pass protection being primary.

    He'll likely get fewer carries next year if he returns and likely won't break 2000 yards. We rode him to death this year out of necessity because Sanders was a turnover machine for about half the season and our backup running back regressed to a point he was completely useless. We should have a more reliable passer and a more competent backup running backs. And Chuba (if he returns) should still get plenty of carries and yards and highlight breakaways and still improve his draft stock even if the overall numbers are down. With a more reliable passing games his YPC could increase.

    What I find funny is so many consider Payton a genius. And McCarthy as an idiot. And I might not disagree. But...they are mirror images of themselves when it comes to on the field results. And the same situations. Both have great regular season QB who are regarded as some of the best to play. Both have went to and won a Super Bowl. Both have been to a few other NfC title games and lost those. Both of their success came about a decade ago.

    Works for me. It could seriously be a lot worse. In fact, I expect that we won't hire him and will do a lot worse. One of the other openings will then go to McCarthy, who will have success, while whatever puppet we get will continue with the 8-8 ginger ways.

    wtf is community in an old CVS? that pos looks like it belongs in college station next to texags.

    It looks like an old strip mall, across the highway from the American Airlines Center. Weird looking on the outside. It reminds me of an old Toys R Us or something. But the loading dock area is where the equipment and "fun" part of the brewery is, and the inside is nice. The beers are top notch, although it's been probably a year since I've had one, and two years since I've been to the taproom.
