re: Shough’s age argument

Posted by illuminatic on 1/4/26 at 4:57 pm to Lester Earl

The Bears and Patriots were 4 or 5 win teams last year. So were the Jags. Things happen fast when the right people are in the building.

We aren't the Jets or Giants. The Saints are 1 good off-season away from being competitive again. It also doesn't hurt that the NFC South as a whole is down during the rebuild.

To be accurate in this comparison figure in Rattler with 2 different HC's and 2 different OC's. Saying they both played from the same deck is simply not accurate.

How does that matter if they were both learning a new offense in the same offseason? Should we consider that Shough has had 5 different coaches and coordinators in the last 6 years?

But Moore is still a bad coach and the talent is lacking. A great example of how bad of a coach Moore is was running a play with 9 seconds with Rattler at QB instead of just kicking. The snap could have went over his head or anything could have happened. He’s supposed to be an offensive mind and his situational play calling is horrible.

It's not college or HS. Professionals are expected to be able to snap the ball and throw it out of bounds. You can't call a game based on the worst possible outcome of every play. That's just playing scared and is exactly when those types of mistakes happen.

I imagine watching football for some of you is like watching a movie in a different language. You can kinda figure out the general plot and the main character's objective, but everything else is just noise. Any nuance or subtext is lost and all you have left to form an opinion is if the ending was the result you expected and how it made you feel.

re: Saints sign Cade York, Grupe to be released

You're right. It's better to do nothing.

This isn't directed at you, but this site is overrun with this weird loser mentality on nearly every board. Makes me wonder if it's a Louisiana thing or if it's everywhere.

You can tell by the way some people post that they genuinely love when any of our teams suck. I guess it takes the sting out of whatever they are currently failing at.

Chelsea played the most dominate game of BB since Derrick. Jag was clueless the whole game, got evicted and came back even more clueless. He just happened to win a string of comps against 2 old ladies and a deaf guy.

NFL pageantry outside of the Super Bowl is an absolute shitshow compared to CFB. Watching NFL is boring compared to college football. Storming fields, tailgating and schools having a hundred different traditions is what makes college football. An upset in the NFL doesn’t register on the map compared to watching a good upset in college football

My wife says the same thing.

Actually they couldn’t afford to pay him and Cam Jordan at the time. So they decided that Trey was more a product of Jordan taking focus off of him. The reality is, Hendrickson is really fricking good. We then proceeded to waste two high end 1st round picks trying to replace him in Davenport and Turner.

Davenport and Hendrickson played three seasons together. They were only one draft class apart.

Burrow made a bigger jump than Daniels. But the question was besides them.

I'd have to say Daniels only bc the improvement happened within the same system. Burrow had a completely new offense his 2nd year.

I think the offense held Burrow back some his 1st year. Daniels looked like a different player within the same offense.

There's been word floating around for a while that Reeves has been dealing with "a personal issue". No clue if that's true or what it was, but I can't imagine he would go into the first movie without at least knowing how the next one would play out.
