    So, we' re drafting Manning jizz? How's its long jump?

    I don’t think they had ladies quite like Venus over there.

    Let's just make an AI quarterback and have them do full AI simulations of the games. It could have really bizarre cuts to the sideline where Aaron Glenn is sucking on his octopus fingers. Then the losing wouldn't hurt so bad.

    Here's how ChatGPT would do it:

    Perfect — you want a Serpentor-style “creation formula” for the ultimate modern quarterback, but this time drawing from the full history of the position, past and present.

    Here’s a cinematic, lab-style breakdown — as if a mad football scientist or AI warlord were assembling the “Quarterback Prime” from the DNA of every legend who’s ever taken a snap.

    Designation: QB-XI, The Apex Signal Caller

    Excellent — here’s the full cinematic unveiling scene for your Serpentor-style “Perfect Quarterback”, written like a moment straight out of a sci-fi sports-epic crossover between G.I. Joe, Frankenstein, and NFL Films.


    ---

    ️ PROJECT SERPENTOR-QB: THE UNVEILING

    Scene: “This I Command!” — Stadium Laboratory, beneath a roaring storm.

    INT. GRIDIRON COMMAND LAB — NIGHT

    Lightning splits the sky above a colossal, domed facility. The walls hum with the energy of superconducting data streams. At the heart of the room: a towering vat filled with swirling, electric plasma — the embryonic cradle of the perfect quarterback.

    Rows of scientists in armored jerseys stand at attention. Holographic statues of the NFL’s greatest quarterbacks shimmer around them — their faces solemn, eternal.

    A massive screen flickers to life. The emblem of GRIDIRON COMMAND glows red.

    DR. KORSTOV (The Architect) strides to the platform — lab coat flaring like a cape, face lit by the glow of the creation chamber.


    ---

    DR. KORSTOV (booming):

    > “For decades we worshiped their throws… their triumphs… their miracles. But every era demanded more! Stronger arms, sharper minds, colder blood. Yet no single man could contain them all…”



    He raises a vial — glowing gold — filled with shimmering micro-data.

    > “Until tonight!”



    Lightning crashes. The holograms around the chamber begin to bleed light into the central vat — Manning, Brady, Montana, Mahomes, Jackson, Marino, Unitas — all dissolve into streams of energy that swirl together like DNA strands of living legend.


    ---

    TECHNICIAN

    > “Power surge stable, sir — genome fusion at 98 percent!”



    KORSTOV

    > “98!? He is perfection! Increase voltage to maximum! THIS I COMMAND!”



    The chamber explodes with light. Alarms blare. The holograms scream and merge, their stats, highlights, and memories fusing into a humanoid silhouette within the plasma.

    The figure solidifies — helmetless, tall, athletic, eyes burning with twin golden irises like football suns. The chamber drains with a hiss.


    ---

    KORSTOV (exultant, trembling):

    > “Behold… the mind of Manning, the poise of Montana, the will of Brady, the fire of Favre, the storm of Mahomes — ALL — in one vessel!”



    He gestures upward as sparks rain from the ceiling.

    > “He reads defenses before they form. He throws before time itself decides the route. His heart beats in rhythm with the clock… and it always runs out for them!”




    ---

    The creature steps forward — calm, powerful, aware.

    SERPENTOR-QB (first words, low and resonant):

    > “Snap… count… initiate.”



    The room goes silent.

    He reaches for a football placed on a pedestal. The ball levitates slightly in his hand — sensors embedded in his wrist sync to it. With a flick, he fires a pass that shatters a steel wall at 70 yards. The scientists duck. The echo rings like thunder.


    ---

    KORSTOV (laughing madly):

    > “YES! Arm of the gods! Mind of the machine! He does not play the game — he commands it!”



    He raises his arms to the heavens.

    > “SERPENTOR-QB… THIS! I! COMMAND!”



    Lightning strikes the dome — illuminating the silhouette of the ultimate quarterback standing defiant, visor gleaming like molten gold.

    Cut to black.

    Whispering voiceover:

    > “Next season… there will be no defense.”




    ---

    Would you like me to follow this up with a commentary scene — like a fictional NFL broadcast reacting to the debut of Serpentor-QB in his first game?

    We're going to beat the Burrow-less Bengals aren't we? Probably by a field goal.

    Once Titans game is over, we will be #2 if Titans lose.

    Titans have the top pick as of this week if they lose as soon as their game ends.

    Unfortunately none of the QBs in college seem that impressive. It would be our luck to get the number one pick in a down year for QBs :(

    I don't know if you watched the game but just to give you guys a recap the cards were up 21-6 their running back broke a 75-yard run and pulled a Malachi Corley at the 1. So instead of 28-6 the Titans got the ball.

    The Titans took the ball down the field and scored 21-12 After that another crazy play happened where Cam Ward threw an interception but the Arizona Cardinals player fumbled the ball into the end zone to make it a titans TD so it turned into 21-19

    Arizona went 3 and out so the Titans got it back and took it down the field for the game winner. (Which almost missed)

    This was a good week in terms of Tankhaton.

    Saints were 0-4 and they won. Titans were 0-4 and they won. Panthers were 1-3 and they won.

    There are 2 risky games in the next 5 weeks for us to lose the top pick.
    Week 7: We are hosting Panthers
    Week 10: We are hosting Browns.

    No matter what happens, we are not winning more than 4 games imho. This will land us a Top 5 pick. How it looks like, most likely we will land a Top 3 pick

    Oh man for sure…I guessed 5 wins coming into the year but this team and this coach have shown me that I was WAY optimistic.

    We are THE worst team in the league…no way we beat the Browns…their D is legit. Denver will probably shut us out. We will most likely go into the Panthers game at 0-6…that to me is the only winnable game for us…I can’t see us going into NO and winning, I don’t think we lose to the Dolphins at home either.

    We may go 1-16 or 0-17. We are THAT bad.

    If we go 1-16 or 0-17 we have to clean house.

    Heh. That came out awesome. Now we just need to figure out how to bukkake the Jets with some of that Serpentor QB jizz!

    We just cleaned house. We've cleaned house several times over the last decade. We've never even come close to getting it right. Is there any indication that we suddenly will? I feel like we are on a treadmill with no hope of ever getting off.

    No there isn’t. JD tore this down and rebuilt a pile of shit. Mougey and AG are coaching down to this level … I know the team isn’t great but to be this non-competitive and down 20+ points going into the 4th so consistently is a bad sign. And to me, the telling thing is that the same shit problems we’ve seen since week 1 are STILL happening in week 5. They haven’t been able to clean up a single fucking thing. Turnovers, lack of takeaways, penalties, none of these have improved AT ALL. That’s coaching. They don’t know how to attack not even one thing and fix it.

    This is not a good sign.

    I always say GREAT doesn’t take too much time to show. I also believe SUCK doesn’t take too long either. I’m not passing final judgement on AG as a coach quite yet after 5 games, but the signs are definitely NOT good. Show me SOMETHING. Fix ONE thing. ONE.

    Let’s see what happens
