Looking back, it’s crazy that Zion and Chet have such similar injury records.

Remember it’s Fox and the Kings. That happens to everyone.
It’s gamblers. And Scott Foster who is clearly crooked.
Something is going on in Utah?
Fans and owners love blaming coaches, but the most successful franchises keep people around.
William Stephen Belichick started Drew McQueen Bledsoe over Thomas Edward Patrick Brady, Jr so the answer is no. No one knows anything. This isn’t Madden, there’s no database of ‘actual’ ratings. You can win with backups and Joe Flacco and Joe Namath and sometimes even with Tim Tebow or Urban Meyer.
They figure it out and second guess themselves constantly. Even now, reasonable coaches can argue about how good Russell Wilson really was in his prime, and how bad Zach Wilson actually is.
Even Brady, the acknowledged greatest QB of all time, was barely winning games early on but was on a great team with excellent coaching. BTW, Brady has good size and throw but his real super power seems to be that he out-homeworked everyone else, to get rid of the ball fast because he had a good coaching staff early and worked on reading the defenses and connecting with receivers. He trained constantly with receivers before there was a limit on it, until the timing was perfect, and he got receivers to buy into it, no doubt helped by an early Super Bowl and ‘bad cop’ Belichick. He also bribed the OL and later in his career was obsessive about his health. NONE OF THAT could be measured in college, it didn’t even exist.
Manning came in with ‘pedigree’ and knew how to run an offense by himself, at al all-star level. But Eli did too, and he was a goofy lucky turnover machine with excellent mentoring. Everyone ‘knew’ you couldn’t teach accuracy until Josh Allen happened. Everyone ‘knew’ that Doug Flutie was ‘too short’ 20 years ago but Bryce Young still got drafted last year. Nick Foles was a backup, Wentz was an excellent starter, Jimmy G was a good QB, and Mac Jones was considered an all-star.
Warriors without Green, but that was without Book I thought.
It’s not about stats, it’s about Bucks added Dame so Giannis can’t get MVP type credit.
It’s about who the voters will vote for, not best player.
Even if that’s what it should be.
The ladders are afraid of Giannis! He gets angry at them and stuff happens.
Look at who you played though. Jazz twice, Grizz and Portland in there. You did beat Minnie before that, which is a real good result imo.
Suns are a good team, but that record is fool’s gold.
Top 4 in blocks:
AD, Brook, Wemby and Chet, amazingly. NOT the TWO most recent MVP centers, though Embiid isn’t far down the list.
I feel like Wemby, AD and the Giannis/Brook combo have a chilling effect on drives more than their blocks, even.
Well, you know, a veteran coach fits the gameplan to the roster and ticket sales, sometimes even in that order.
Eh maybe the league doesn’t need expansion teams.
This is better than tush push because it will be the new, more accurate Philadelphia motto: “THE CITY OF BROTHERLY SHOVE”.
Problem is that Allen clusters his scoring and turnovers. Feast or famine works for the defense and some position players but not QB1 in the National Football League, Boomer! Let’s throw it back to Gus.
NO, you know why? Because the league will not go back in time to ground and pound and defensive slopfests currently featuring in the AFCN, for example. The ratings are as good as they’ve ever been, but they’re not going to take this lying down.
This is like the neutral zone trap in hockey or the bully ball in basketball both about 2 decades ago, and both those leagues came to their senses slowly without a lot of analytics and internet comments.
This time, the NFL will not wait around. Not only because high scoring games are more fun for casual fans, not only because they’re more fun to bet on, but because they can’t market defensive players the way they can market Mahomes, Wilson, Rogers, Brady, Allen, Manningses, Tua, etc.
The only counter argument I can see is that they really hate guaranteed contracts, and they want QBs to flail around until that goes away. But there’s no math in that imo.
They’ll wait to see if it’s a statistical fluke, and I’m sure they’re happy to return some physical play back, but no way there isn’t a course correction.
The fathoms of the depths to which the Wizards can sink is frankly incredible. They should rename to the U-Boats, because also it would encourage a turnaround one of these decades.
FBI cracked down on college players receiving gifts but not this? Puh leeaze.
It will be just like Thanksgiving! Oh wait.
