McCarthy is the greatest coach they have ever had, even better than Jimmy Johnson. He just needs another decade or three to prove it.

If I were the Cowboys, I would lock him up to a lifetime contract. Mike Nolan, too. Honestly, they're bound to become the next Browns if they don't. Jerruh won't ever see the playoffs again in his lifetime, let alone a SB.

Dang it! Good win by the Cards, but we did ourselves in with penalties. And the D could not come up with stops when needed, which I knew would catch up to us eventually.

Wilson's connection with Lockett is unreal.

Figures, NFL can only take 1 diva WR at a time: It gains back Dumbtonio Brown and so, in turn, OBJ has to go.

Karma.

But in all fairness TB has never branded himself as a highly mobile QB. That was never his strength even early in his career. His strength is reads, accuracy, timing, and can push the ball down field. No QB thrives on teams with bad O lines so I don't know if that's a fair test or comparison.

QBs with great O lines are forced to expose their true throwing talent. Guys like Mahomes and Wilson prove they are both mobile and have great arms. Murray may not be far off that. But look at Jackson - he doesn't seem to have command of the passing game like you'd want a QB to have.

All that said, TB is great at what the QB is supposed to do. If a QB has to run for their life to get the job done, that's not a QB problem.

I was told for years that anyone could play in that system and win. All of you forgetting your Matt Cassel comments now?

I dunno...I think it was the perfect setup for Brady: same coach with same scheme for 21341279 years. The system was also catered to his strengths so, yeah...heaps of max protection. NE did a fine job scouting and also coaching the WRs to run such great routes. Boom...success. Sure, I may be jaded but you could slap anyone (even Cade McNown or Ryan Leaf) in that sort of formula and IMO, they'd be just as good.

But, I agree, a QB's success starts with the O-line. Having seen Bears QBs run for their lives for years, I can tell you that to have an O-line like NE's during TB years would've been a dream.

NE's demise this year is a combo of attrition and new personnel. Being stunted by Trumpvid-19 also had an effect on their ability to gel as a unit.

Brady doesn't win more than 1-2 rings without Belichick, full stop. The "system" is just one part of that.

Even with that in mind, it doesn't take anything away from his greatness. Brady is thriving quickly in a notoriously difficult offense with no offseason.

Carson Palmer was thought to be washed up for years, and looked like Jameis when playing for Arians early on... only to turn it around and have his best seasons ever as he got more experience in the scheme. No risk it, no biscuit.

I saw all I needed to against the Bears a couple games ago.

Over-rated.

Dumbtonio Brown's time in TB won't end well. But, we saw this movie before.

How does Arians sign a guy and then wonder if he's going to complain about targets? You think that would be part of the discussion to sign him. "Hey, if you come here, this is what you should expect". It seems stupid that he should be "wondering" how AB will take it.

There's plenty of video of AB snapping out and losing it on his QB, his Offensive Coordinator, Gatorade jugs, you name it. Dude is a loose cannon, and I don't think BA wants him there. The fact that he's setting expectations says to me that he's saying get in line or get lost

I probably assume to much that a head office is consulting with the coach on personnel acquisitions. I can't imagine that any team in the NFL would intentionally disconnect personnel decisions and the coach, but I guess some do. Probably a lot more than I think.

Here's a stat for you. In our Fantasy Football league, even with PPR scoring, the PHI defense is the highest scoring fantasy player in this entire game tonight - both sides (I know because I started them).

That might say everything anyone needs to know about this game.

Ravens player announces he tested positive for Ronavid, after playing in the game yesterday

Apparently he was held out Wednesday for illness but then practiced the rest of the week and played Sunday, so I'm sure he infected his own team and ours
