    With Cutler it seemed like everyone expected him to be better than he was and kept forcing the issue hoping he'd eventually live up to expectations. He really never did, and was always the same player he was in college.

    The fact that Cutler started 153 NFL games is right up there with Jeff Fisher's career progression in evidence that the folks in charge in the NFL can be astonishingly dumb.

    I agree with all that. the reason Cutler kept getting all those chances is that he had a Howitzer attached to his right shoulder and is 6'3". Fromm is not similarly equipped. He's a slightly taller, slightly less fat Chase Daniel

    NFL QB success is a crapshoot. We all laughed when Tannehill was drafted by Miami only because of Sherman. I thought he'd be flame out in a year or two.  A decade later, he's still a starting QB. Not saying he's worth a shit but he's still starting.

    Not saying that Fromm is Tannehill but you never know.

    2019 Tannehill somehow is not the same player as 2012-2018 Tannehill . His QB rating, yards per attempt, and TD/ INT ratio are all ridiculously better in 2019 than they ever have been. the threat posed by Henry in the running game makes a huge difference, and probably coaching as well.

    I still say Fromm is a backup at best

    Every year there seems to be at least one QB, usually in the sec or big 10, who the media loves but clearly sucks when you watch him. Fromm has been that guy for the past two years, if not more.

     

    I look forward to guys like mcshay hyping up his NFL potential, and the inevitable shock when he never lives up to that billing. He's on the Jay Cutler career progression.

     

    i was with you up until the Cutler comparison. Cutler started 153 NFL games, which is about 153 more than Fromm ever will

    BoB isn't terrible. He's a bumbling idiot at times like you say, but in general he's consistent and gets effort out of his players. Plus he has a budding superstar under center to make up for some of the bullshit. 

    When the Texans win it is usually in spite of BoB,  not because of him . Dak ain't pulling off what 4 did Saturday...and that's just one example

    I loved Rhyner. From his days at the Zew and the ticket. 60 more minutes of the hardline. 60 more minutes of the hardline.

     

    However his take that he hoped Ricky Williams would blow out his knee his senior year did not go over well with me.

     

    Never heard him or the show but sounds like they had a pretty loyal fan base. So what is the story behind the Ricky deal? Cause that's really fucked up

    I wish you only missed year round baseball instead of the point. I'm asking about a bat with a different handle than any other. I'm not worried about blue flames or weather.

    One day you will see that it is you that is missing the point, young grasshopper 

  7. God I don't miss that shit! 

    Huge placebo effect with bats...the one with the blue flames hits better than the other one, etc. Also, if it's cold enough and your kid hits hard, it's gonna get dented anyways. 

    Year-round baseball for that young is just crazy.

    That opening monologue, holy shit. They showed Tim Cook’s face right before the sweat shop comment. I wonder what he looked like after the comment. By the looks of the audience, he was making a lot of people uncomfortable.

    the truth has that effect sometimes

    Huh. I didn’t know that Costello was supposed to be based on Bulger. I knew that The Departed was a remake of another movie, Infernal Affairs, but not the WB piece.

    Then again, based on doesn’t mean identical, and I don’t think Jack’s portrayal of Costigan was full on Joker. But I also love that movie and think it’s every bit as good as Goodfellas.

    One of my favorites as well... btw, Leo was Costigan, Jack was Costello
