    I haven't seen Eric Johnson in weeks! I find that extremely odd.

    You said it yourself he's the ultimate empty suit. He's got nothing of substance to say and I appreciate that self awareness and that he doesn't love to bloviate in front of a camera like Rawlings while deferring leadership of both crises during his tenure to Jenkins and Brown.

    The goal is to win now, though. Dalton is leading this team nowhere if he had to play the whole season. Can he tread water? Sure. But they didn't making staff changes and had the offseason they had to tread water. Dak still holds the leverage if they want to win now. Both sides know this. There is no doubt a deal will get done. 

    Dak is under team control for two more seasons whether they get a deal done or not. And do you really think they're going to get a deal done right now? When they're not certain they will play the whole season and the medium term cap ramifications of the sharp decrease in revenue?

    For the record, I still think Dak is a mediocre starting QB, but I feel like some of you think that’s more of a knock on Dak than i do. It isn’t easy to find someone who is universally regarded as one of the 15 or so best QBs on the planet. It’s more about consistency. That’s what separates guys like Jimmy G from guys like Watson. Jimmy G can look like a top 5 qb on the road in New Orleans in what was arguably the most important regular season game for the NFC playoff picture, and then he can turn around and look like 2nd half of the super bowl jimmy g. That’s what Dak is to me. AND THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT. You just don’t let guys like that strong arm you into making them the highest paid player in the league. I don’t care what history says. That’s all I’m saying. 

    And I would hope that a handful of posters will dispense with the philosophy of consequence free contract decisions because the cap "always goes up." Bad contract economics do matter. Just look at the Rams and the Jaguars.

    I don't disagree that doing your due diligence is in the best interest of the company. However, the corporate HR lady's reaction seemed like a genuine "I can't believe you did that. You aren't allowed to do that per corporate policy" reaction instead of her just saying it to cover her ass.

    Corporate HR "VP" in a large multinational company has forfeited their ability to think. They are strictly slaves to policy and process. I would have ignored her if I was making the hire and I sure as hell wouldn't let HR make a hiring decision.

    That's not true at all.  There would absolutely be a market for him, it's ridiculous to think otherwise.  It may not be the market that thinks he's worth 35 mil or whatever, but to say there "isn't a market for him at all" is kind of a crazy take. Like someone wouldn't even trade a 3rd rounder for him or something.

    Yes I'm sure teams are lining up to part with their draft capital in the next 5 days to acquire an unhappy QB playing under the tag who wants to reset the market amidst the backdrop of a pandemic which has put the 2020 NFL season at risk and all but assured that the 2021 salary cap will go down, rather than up. Teams generally love to do business like that with an uncertain economic model over the next few years.

  6. Danny is out of his element right now. His best contributions to the show are in period comic relief, fun facts that'll take two seconds, early 80s small town hair metal angst, and a couple of halfcourt 3 pointers per show. He was at his best as a driveby contributor with an easy target like idiosyncratic sexagenarian Mike. Bob will provide plenty of similar opportunities for Danny down the road but they've got to get to know one another on air more. But Bob is going to expect more out of him than Mike did behind the scenes.

  7. My group hasn't been targeted specifically but a couple other meetings I go to have been. My group began using a password this morning as a preemptive measure. Two others I visit once a week also began protecting their meetings this morning.

    These guys are trolling for unsecured zoom meetings. They're entirely indiscriminate.

  8. Is anybody else's meetings being affected by these zoomshitters? My group now requires a zoom password to join the meeting which eliminates any possibility of newcomers or visitors from another group. How are your groups handling the issue?

    OK, but Gus' fight isn't Mike's fight.  i don't see Mike accepting the risk of this line of work with respect to his assumed obligation to Kalie (sp?) over an emotional ode to an already resolved issue.  It seems to me there has to be something else.

    Well the Salamancas did threaten Mike's family. Lalo also forced Gus's hand and required Mike to kill the German.

  10. By tomorrow morning every single customer logo on Imagenet's website will be flooded with social media posts. By noon I expect HQ to start getting calls from those customers telling Imagenet to take their logo off the website while this is "being dealt with." Taking down their twitter account is a good idea as it will be harder for this to travel virally without a handle to retweet. But it really doesn't matter as it's too late to not have previous posts combed over and this is a story with a cartoon villain that the media will pounce on without mercy.

    Networks will be all over this tomorrow afternoon. Soundbites will be over the top. Customers will be reviewing the termination provisions in their contracts looking for a way out because being Imagenet's partner will now be a PR disaster and the only way to deal with it is to explain that you took immediate action to separate yourself from a vendor who does not share your values. Heads will roll and an employee centric Hail Mary will be thrown by the company to attempt to show that they really do care about their people. But it probably won't matter.

    @Pokoloco was right to keep the name of the company private. But now that it's out a lot more people will probably lose their jobs. And that fucking sucks. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.
