I don’t agree with that, he’s definitely regressed. His best ability was literal analysis. Calling out play predictions, tendencies, showing the ability that made him a really good pro, on the fly. But he was told to scale that back, reign in his enthusiasm and analysis, dumb it down a bit, and he’s FAR less good like that and just has become cliched. It’s unfortunate. Olsen is far more natural at the blend of the two, and he’s best in class for me right now.
DeMeco Ryan’s gets six years in Houston, that’s a lot of years.Sean Payton to Denver, which is something.
This will sit well with Payton's ego.Ian Rapoport @RapSheetUnbelievable: The #Broncos spent today trying to hire DeMeco Ryans AGAIN today before he recommitted to the #Texans, sources say. When he agreed to terms with the Texans, they moved and finalized Sean Payton.
Yeah, the Denver coaching search was something. No deal officially official yet with Payton either.
The guy who hired Nathaniel Hackett, gave Randy Gregory $28 million, then swung the Russell Wilson deal ran a questionable coaching search?
Surprised Payton took the gig. I’d have waited another cycle to see how things shook out. Denver has no draft capital and a terrible roster. If he was worried about not being included in the next cycle, that was silly. Bill Cowher was in the cycle for a decade at least after he retired
Tyler Huntley, AFC Pro Bowl QB.
Derek Card, benched for poor performance, is a pro bowler as well. Name an All-NFL team and call it a day.
While I agree the Pro Bowl is a joke, Carr was more benched cause McDaniels is a moron. He is an upgrade for more than half the league. Short of the Colts/Texans in a position to get a top QB pick, a bunch of teams should be interested. Carolina, the Jets, Washington, Titans depending how they feel about Willis, Seahawks, maybe the Lions, maybe even GB. He threw for 4800 yards last year and had a QB rating of 102 on 27 TDs to 9 picks the year before that. He’s only 31, he didn’t suddenly forget how to be a QB. Feels like Alex Smith 2.0 in a new environment
Tom Brady retires "for good."
He is the best player at the most important position. I feel comfortable calling him the best ever player.
Payton is a legit good coach, of course, but if Russell Wilson is as cooked as it appeared, that team is going nowhere fast. They have some quality pieces on defense (Surtain is the NFL's CB1, in my opinion), but the offensive line is bad and the receiving group has underperformed. As you say, they're light on draft capital and as of the moment, they only have $9 million in cap space for next year (though that I'm sure can change).I guess Sean likes a challenge. Or really hates the prospect of working for Jerry Jones.
