OTTOTD 10/27: Ignorancy

Freeman_tiny by 4QB on


I learned something new yesterday. Apparently Freshman-Sophomore's in high school don't know anything about football at all. They were trying to convince me that Tom Brady is not a top 10 current QB in the NFL. I understand the patriots are one thing but to say that tom brady is not a TOP 10 current QB while he is playing with a severely depleted O-line is both Ignorant and stupid. I can't believe i said that.

In other news, Eric Mangini is either an idiot or he is preparing for an Uncapped 2010 season by sitting Brady Quinn while Derek Anderson is just throwing interceptions.

I also hate this websense thing, apparently.

And do i need 75 words?

WTF Rip City means?

You can either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain

by Andy Hellicksonstine on Oct 27, 2009 9:34 AM EDT up reply actions  

Per Wiki
The nickname Rip City is usually used in the context of the city’s NBA team, the Portland Trail Blazers.11 The term was coined by the team’s play-by-play announcer Bill Schonely during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers on February 18, 1971, the Blazers’ first season.12 In the days prior to the three-point field goal, Blazers’ guard Jim Barnett took an ill-advised long distance shot that nonetheless went in, giving the new team hope for a victory against the powerful Lakers. Excited, Schonely exclaimed “Rip City! All right!” Schonely admits that he has no idea how he came up with the expression, but it became synonymous with the team and the city of Portland.13

So the the city, the fans, the team, and even the guy who uttered a completely made up phrase have no

idea what it means. You might as well proclaim, “Fresh Fish” or, “Big Yahtzee’s.” People are dumb.

Any guesses on where he ends up?

Put him on a team, like ours, where his role is more specialized and I think he is a great front office man. Friedman has shown his mettle on many occasions, but he’s left to do what he does best while Hunsicker takes over the scouting reigns and both are back by genius-level number’s people.

by R.J. Anderson on Oct 27, 2009 11:50 AM EDT reply actions  

I like the new take on the yin and the yang by using Isis and Osiris

He looked at a cause and an effect of what he feels is a good pitch, which the metrics have apparently not born out. Perhaps, the author should take into account movement, as well as, what happens when a batter does make contact. 18% whiffs is awesome, but if the other 82% of the time if goes for an XBH, then we’ve moved from light to dark rather quickly. Of course that is an example, looking a little deeper, he has nice separation from the fastball. The closest velocity is his cutter which should have opposite movement. He’s throwing the change about an eighth of the time right now, perhaps he should use it more, or maybe even less.

And there’s a reason other teams passed on him, he’s had surgery at such a young age already.

I don't understand the uproar at all.

Frankly, I find it to be a good thing that the front office and coaching staff are on the same page. They were making a pretty serious decision there, considering if Freeman goes down in flames, they go down in flames.

by Suttree on Oct 27, 2009 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions  

Yup, and you don't make a decision regarding your potential franchise guy without everyone being on board

Regardless of anyone’s feelings about Freeman’s future, he is seen by the FO as the future. They all have to agree on the path he will take. A conversation of the verbal kind seemed quickest and most effective.

I'll be legitimately shocked if his stats are any better than Johnson's.

Unless, of course, they go all Joe Flacco with him, WHICH IS WHAT THEY SHOULD HAVE DONE WITH JJ IN THE FIRST PLACE.

by Suttree on Oct 27, 2009 1:55 PM EDT up reply actions  

My one hope is that SS can continue to get more looks

JJ had a good rapport with AB going until it became obvious that that was the only guy making plays. I’m not sure if the FO viewed Ward as a Michael Turner-type signing, but he’s getting almost no touches at this point. How is he supposed to get in the rhythm of the game with 3 carries?

I hate that we won't run the ball three plays in a row.

This is what you do when you have a quarterback. Even if you’re down seven, you run the ball in a way unbalanced ratio, then use rollouts, screens and max protect to keep your baby safe.

We have no commitment to this strategy.

by Suttree on Oct 27, 2009 2:00 PM EDT up reply actions  

I couldn't tell from the TV angle, but I'm assuming that NE was spying JJ on every play. The kid didn't run at all and made some bad decisions.

Frankly, we knew this was going to happen. Maybe if the FO wasn’t as invested in Free then JJ would’ve gotten a fair shake.

oh, the first pick was terrible, but again, they didn't put him in position to succeed.

It’s 3rd and five on the first drive in fucking London against the Patriots. Run the ball.

The 2nd pick is on Clayton as much as JJ and the third pick was a throwaway at the end of the half.

by Suttree on Oct 27, 2009 2:03 PM EDT up reply actions  

I don't think the first pick is entirely on JJ.

I’ve seen that play a hundred times and it looks like Stroughter either cut off his route or had an option route and there was miscommunication. It’s just a guess on my part, but I wouldn’t be surprised.

Nor was playing without Faine to start, not establishing the run

and not playcalling for him. It almost seems like they are in a rush to get to Freeman and are just going through the motions with JJ. This is such a stupid thing to say, but are they trying to get JJ to fail?

I realize how dumb that sounds, but if Freeman is the end game, don’t you want JJ to underperform to make the move logical?

It will be less than a year before Gruden becomes White Tony in this town.
Me and about 10-12 other guys moved underneath the MNF booth in the 2nd half and in the 4th quarter we started a “We Want Gruden” chant. Gruden and Jaws were looking at us and laughing, and then Gruden stood up and flashed his Super Bowl ring at us.

I just always find it stupid when people say that teams have to get out of the South, because Phoenix was ran poorly

and that fans don’t come out if the team isn’t a winner. Most of these teams don’t have a 50 year old fan base that will show up year in and year out. Seeing the Islanders at the bottom of the rankings was pretty funny for me. Most of this argument sounds pretty familiar to one we’ve had all year about attendance, especially if you continue to say that TB is one of the hardest hit markets economically.
