Redshirt Junior. So he might have a year left, just benefitted from graduating early.

And since he’s at Pitt, he’ll have a few inexplicable seasons in the NFL like Tyler Palko, Nathan Peterman and Tom Savage.

In all fairness to Fred, who sucked. Jeff George repulsed everything around him. Still does.

There’s still a chance they could lure Jeff George Jr. (talk about your awful burdens to bear in life) away from Pitt.

The Committee could make a special dispensation in a case like that. I’m not sure if they would, and I wouldn’t be shocked if the Angels didn’t David Wright him into a game to give him season ten.

COME AFTER ME! I’M A MAN! I’M FARTY!

//I’ll see myself out

Yeah, the snowflake thing is pretty rich coming from him. Considering that the only noteworthy thing he’s done in his coaching career was a rant complaining about reporting something observed about a player was too unfair.

You mean four right?

Complete with Gruden leaving Carr out on the field to die since he couldn’t kill Chris Simms.

I think that assumption is also wrong. There aren’t full rosters of major league potential talent sitting in the minors. And a fair amount of what is in the minors won’t ever develop.

It’s strange to me that a guy who helped put the concept of the replacement level player on the map wouldn’t see the flaw in his…

Quakkas!

He's only really right in the sense that they would find guys to fill the uniforms. It'd be like watching a AAA game. A decent eye would see that there's a difference in talent and a suffering of quality.

That’s kind of where I am. I don’t really see how adding two more Cincinnati Reds makes baseball any better. Especially since with television, those teamless markets could actually watch a competitive much easier than even the last wave of expansion.

I have heard that Jon’s agent used to call teams (and colleges, this happened at Notre Dame after Willingham and Weis were both fired) about the prospects of Jon coming in as a head coach after he was fired by the Bucs. Never any real inquiry from a team, but it was used to kind of foist the myth that he teams…

Dungy played more of a role than Gruden did.

Seriously, why are there so many people making apologies for Gruden’s mediocrity?

Gruden is more likely to get Carr killed (remember Chris Simms?) than he’s going to be able to get much of value out of him. Big contact + bad play - the Cowboys need for a quarterback = maybe a fifth or sixth rounder at best for him.

3. Actually, ESPN and Gruden interjected Jon into coaching rumors. Nobody was ringing his phone. Not in the NFL and not at major college programs.

The Raiders looked at the Art Shell years and thought they should find a way to recreate that. Good news Jack del Rio, you’ll get to suck at being a head coach again around…

Who can forget all of those Oakland Super Bowls that Gruden won...

That generational talent that was two games over .500 in Tampa with a defense that was stacked with talent? The one that never developed anything resembling an NFL quarterback in spite of being a “quarterback guru?”

This is Ditka in New Orleans bad. Potentially worse because Oakland isn’t smart enough to pull the plug.

Draft picks are only as good as the team making them. I hear the refrain from a lot of Dallas people that there’s no assurance that draft pick actually becomes something good. Yet there are teams who seem to be better than others at drafting.

I’m not really all that fond of Cooper, he’s always had a high drop rate and his production has been awful in his last twenty games (take out that KC game where he went for 11/220 and he’s really pedestrian looking). Some of that could be his or Carr’s health last year, but you would think that he would still be able…

I would use Detroit’s trade of Roy Williams as the explanation myself. Detroit might have fleeced the Cowboys, but then they turned around and drafted nothing with those picks.

Also, can you remember all the young talent that Gruden plugged in/developed after the attrition of age took over the Dungy Bucs he inherited?

He’s been shit for 90% of the game he’s played in the last two seasons. He’s produced like Dez has his last three seasons (14 games, 37 catches 470 yards last year without that KC game). Notice that nobody was giving away a first round pick for Dez’s NFL caliber abilities.

He’s not going to push the Cowboys over the…
