OT: American footy thread

[T.S Quint]

KC are back?
I didn’t see the game, only the score. Were Ravens that bad?

Niners were ass in that game. Purdy is still obviously injured. He doesn’t normally overthrow that much. His toe is giving him trouble.

Our offensive line is a disgrace. Even Trent Williams isn’t doing anything there. Because of this our QB is pressured on almost every play and we have no run game anymore.

Purdy isn't in my top 15 QBs.

I think we need a top 15 QB power ranking

That is a decent list overall, but Baker Mayfield at 15 on that list (below Geno Smith). I reckon he should be way higher than that.
Bo Nix probably deserves to be higher than 27 too.

I've decided I think of things this way: NFL is like a valuable piece of gold jewelry whereas college football is like a dirty gold nugget just dug out of the ground. The jewelry is worth a lot but is boring and does not have the story I want to know about.
This thought is going in my journal.

"In a 1940 report, the Rules Committee stated bluntly: “Each game should provide a maximum of entertainment insofar as it can be controlled by the rules and officials.” The entertainment value of the game, it added, could be measured by “the number of plays per game of a type that will be pleasing to the audience.”

NFL consultant and statistical guru Hugh “Shorty” Ray — enshrined in the Hall of Fame for his contributions to officiating and rule-making — reinforced this notion.

During his work for the NFL from the late 1930s to early 1950s, Ray crunched the numbers and found a direct correlation between scoring and higher attendance — a statistical basis for his recommendations of offense-boosting rules changes. His devotion to statistics as a way to analyze and improve the game also stuck with the league."

His record without Brady in the NFL is under 50% according to AI

Bill Belichick's record without Tom Brady is approximately 83-104.

This figure includes his time with the Cleveland Browns, as well as the years he coached the Patriots before and after Brady's tenure. In contrast, his record with Brady was 249-75.

Andy Reid was a bit like Brian Smith had a great record but couldn't get across the line then Pat Mahomes showed up.

I think elite champion QBs makes coaches better then what they are.

I don't wish to put a curse on the kid but CJ Carr, starting QB at Notre Dame, is probably tracking to be the number 1 pick in the 2027 draft (the one after the next one). He is impressive.
