Yeah, Dilfer is a good example. No one ever thought he'd win a Championship.

You don't know that. Brad Johnson was a backup qb for years before he won a Super Bowl for the Bucs. No one ever thought he'd be anything more than what he was... a backup qb. Things change as do situations & luck.

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year to all!!

Lots of remorse in Minnesota with the play & injuries of JJ McCarthy. Last year, no matter what Sam Darnold did on the field, the fans really wanted McCarthy. Well, they got him. I think the OC & HC in Minnesota Kevin O'Connell was arrogant thinking any qb can play in his system & win when they can't. You need a legit starter to win & the Vikings had that with Darnold. Now the Seahawks have him.

Philip Rivers ahown here throwing his first TD against the Boston Redskins on September 29, 1935.

Sanchez has a habit of making his biases show. He likes the teams he played for but not the ones he didn't. He's getting better at hiding his favouritism with the more experience he has. He favours the Als & the Lions the most.

Johnzo, since you live in Metro Seattle, I'm sure the Seahawks are glad that DK Metcalf is gone. What a distraction this week would have been for them if that incident occurred with the Seahawks trying to clinch the NFC West.

I want the best player...

C'mon, Noeller.... Hugs?????????

Going by what poster Blue In BC said.

I thought Muamba got better as the season went on. He started to tone things down & actually made some good points. Still don't like him. Probably never will. I'll take TBurg;s sentence & change it to describe my feelings, "I don't mind him yelling his opinions. I do mind that he chased the dollars selfishly constantly changing teams letting his teammates & fans down". I don't respect Muamba like I do Sanchez or MIlt because of it. Muamba's legacy will always be chasing the money. That CFL tour he had was embarrassing.

Look what happened in Detroit with DK Metcalf. I believe that if you buy a ticket & mess with a player on the field as in instigating a conflict then that ticket should give the NFL the right to prosecute or fine someone. We don't know what was said between the two but the fan put on a long blue wig to cover his face. So, whatever he said, it wasn't going to be good. I saw a video after the incident where the fan was screaming but not wearing his wig. A 25000 fine or 3 months in jail for harrassment would do that yahoo good. I read that a two game suspension that has been mentioned as possible punishment for Metcalf will mess with his guaranteed salary not only this year but whatever length the contract has left. So, how stupid was he to even talk to that nutbar?

I always thought the guy's name was Wynston McManis. Not Wynton. I wonder if Jim Barker will try to sign him before free agency? Or will he test what's out there?

I'm not a huge Muamba fan either for that reason. He was selfish & chased the money rather than stick with a team through it all & go for the championships. Which is his right but there was very little loyalty there. Forget loyalty to the individual clubs as they'd cut Muamba the minute his performance started to erode. But to his teammates & brothers. The one year deals allowed Muamba to change teams every year.

That's what got us into the situation we are now. No, not everyone is a starter. Some are career backups. Some are career special teamers. Everyone has a role to play on a team but everyone is a starter? If everyone is a starter then why aren't all players on the Bombers paid like they're starters? That's Osh being fricking Osh.

You want a house? Start saving money, kid. You're making a million dollars US a year playing for the Rams. Limos & expensive carrying cases for your shoes won't cut it.

Did you hear star NFL receiver Puka Nacua complain he couldn't afford to buy a house in LA while riding in a limo with friends??

Yeah, okay. Whatever you say. You sound like Neville Chamberlain coming home to London after his meeting with Hitler's Nazis in 1939 holding up that useless piece ot toilet paper that was supposed to be a treaty & gleefully proclaiming, "There will be peace in our time." You have no clue either.

When someone gets promoted in business & fails they're usually fired, Not given their old job back. Nutty decision. If he's that great of a coach then another team will hire him. If note? Well there's always the local high school. Ouch!!! Lol.

He may have NFL opportunities. having said that, when you make your wide receiver, qb & top pass rusher the top paid players at their positions, they can't keep all. Some good players will not be back. I just keep thinking Jeremy O'day is going to have so much fun telling all the ego maniacs on that roster that they can't afford to p[ay all of them. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year, Mr. O' Day.

Yeah, I get it. Am I happy? No, I make no bones about it. There's stuff that goes on (especially last year) that I didnt like. I've never been an "In The Canadian Mafia We Trust" kinda guy. Expect more criticism if I'm still unhappy & until I'm convinced the three Wise Guys in charge turn things around. BTW, I generally take as good as I get. Meaning you & others will give me **** for this post but I don't care. And guess what? I hope I'm wrong. (Pssst. I'm actually a little bit excited about our chances with the moves we've made). Jake move to coaching to me is meh. But the others? Right on. Now, if we have a big Day One of free agency then we might be back to making the Riders our ******* again & win the West. So, yeah, I'm kinda thinking we may have a chance. We'll see in February. BTW, as to my negativity... Do you ever see me criticizing Zach Collaros? Did I say Brady was overpaid? That we should have let him walk & replace him with some American back who is cheaper. I defended both players. Did I ever say Zach's washed up like I constantly read on this forum, ad nauseum??? Nope, I still believe in the guy despite the noise created by you & all the other posters that don't. I happen to think he has one more run left in him & I hope he shows up all the nay sayers on this board. Like Trevor Harris did.

Hogan threw his players under the bus a couple of times. A coach needs to fall on his sword for his guys. Not blame them for losing.

We won some games we had no business winning. There was more of that than the team losing games they should have won. The whole year was a downer.from watching Dobson & Lawler walk, the lack of free agent signings to the putt putt putt offense we had. I've never seen a more uninspired 10-8 team as there was last season.

Sorry to hear but just why don't I care? Can't you stick to people we know? I've never heard of this guy before. This has become a name dropper thread.

We'll never know then true story & there's no one in the media wanting to find out.
