I was hoping someone would get it when I made it. You did, others did, so I considered it a success. Then the two other threads made it funnier, so it was worth it. Yeah, the old days were fun, for sure! Then throw in the fact we had a subplot Mark Sanchez debate and some good Sam Darnold talk, and I am happy with the thread.
Doubt it, Sounds like the Wolford show to me. No reason to risk Donald or Bridgewater. Or just let Uncle Rico aka Josh get the start.
You can run Darnold, who can't get enough work, out for a drive or two with starters, same risk as one week later. I think Teddy just to pound home the idea that he's healthy
Haha, honestly, we don't even speak his name...refer to him as "he who shall not be named".......one of the worst HCs in USC history. We share more than a few horrible coaches in our respective histories.
Normally I would agree with a rookie QB playing, but Darnold has shown enough now to not play Thursday. You would assume the starting O-line won't play. If they don't, then no way I would put Sam out there. Josh McCown is 39. No need to play him at all, unless he wants that drive or two that you spoke of. Same with Teddy. I doubt they will play Wolford for 4 quarters though, so it will be interesting to see what Bowles decides. True, but at the same time he could have flopped, so he has earned the job. If he was not ready, they would sit him.
Seriously, we're talking about a 21 yo QB that has never played a regular season game and only 3 MEANINGLESS preseason games against teams with a vanilla offense that has barely used the long pass, to worry over how he has regressed? This thread reminds me of a bunch of 70yo ladies sitting around a table knitting and talking about who makes the best apple crumb cakes.
Paul F'n Hackett and his 3rd and long draw plays. Probably more than anyone else, he should be given credit for Curtis making the HOF. Curtis was the focal point of the Jet's offense during Hackett's tenure, and Curtis' two best seasons rushing the ball came under Hackett (2001 - 1,513. 4.5 ypc and 2004 - 1,697, 4.6 ypc). He also had the second most receptions of his career in 2001 (53) and scored the most TDs those two seasons since his first two seasons with the Patriots. Curtis picked up a ton of yardage on those 3rd and 15 or 3rd and 20 plays. I don't recall his making the first down that many times, but he'd usually get close, and pick up huge chunks of yards. Curtis still would have had a very good career, but would probably have had a sub 4.0 ypc average (3.8444444) and a thousand or so less yards, and that might have been enough to keep him out of the HOF.
