    New Hitting Coach

    Yes, let’s all wish for a losing season. These last 3 seasons are the most competitive this team has been in about 20 years. Enough is enough, it’s time to get back to sub 0.500 baseball again.

    Fire Dipoto

    This is exactly how I feel. The current state of the team is much better compared to where it was when Dipoto took over. Three seasons in a row competing for a spot in the playoffs, with one playoff appearance is more success than we’ve seen in two decades. We have a young core at the MLB level...

    Offseason thread 2023-24

    I heard Dipoto on sports radio the morning after that press conference and he clarified his 54% comment. Over the last 55 years or so, there have been 29 teams that won at least 54% of their games every season for 10 straight years, and 26 of them played in the World Series. That number isn’t a...

    Message from my Cardinal co worker

    That’s tough logic to argue with. “If my team was a lot better we’d win more games” …

    Witherspoon Hasn’t signed yet.

    Gonna disagree with him having a me first label for a while. Somebody had to be last to sign, turns out it was Spoon. I’d guess the average fan had no idea he wasn’t signed yet. If the guys ahead of him were getting 85%-100% up front, it seems fair for him to try. If he started missing...

    Robert Gallery vs Luke Joeckel

    I think the Joeckel signing was just further proof of how bad Cable was at assessing linemen. I remembered this quote from back then: Apparently Cable thought that Joeckel was the best LG in the league the year prior to signing him. So that huge contract they gave him wasn’t intended to be a...

    Carroll just comped Witherspoon to Polamalu…

    Maybe try watching a couple Witherspoon highlights before you claim he doesn’t bring any nastiness. Also, we added dre’mont jones and jarran reed so far this off-season, and we still have 3 more picks in the next 2 rounds of this draft. Both of the guys we took so far sound like they’ll be...

    Jake Hayner, qb, Fresno state

    He threw a combined total of 13 passes (completing 9 of them) for UW spread across 3 games. I think it’s fair to say he didn’t play enough here to get a thorough evaluation.

    Front Office mind set

    I’d have a hard time believing any conspiracy that Jody is sabotaging the current success of the team by restricting contracts in order to sell the team for more money. If anything, I would think going all-in right now and competing for a Super Bowl would increase the value of the team more than...

    Predicting PC/JS draft picks

    The very first pick Pete ever made as the Hawks head coach, Russell Okung. I’d guess a lot of people predicted that one correctly when he was available there, and he was definitely the guy I was hoping for. DK Metcalf is the only other one I can think of.

    Niners get 3 3rd round comp picks

    If we’re talking GM’s too…Scott Fitterer was poached by the Panthers to be their GM. Scot McLoughan wasn’t “poached”, but he left the Seahawks and a year later took over as WFT GM.

    John63/dean is back on Broncos forum

    Pete didn't have to say that there was resistance to wearing the wrist band in the past. He could have just praised the idea of wearing the wrist band and moved on. But the fact that he added that extra comment about resistance to wearing it in the past seemed very deliberate.

    When will BBK return ?

    Lol I guess I should have said "doesn't".

    When will BBK return ?

    He played at UW. I think the fact that he played college football in Seattle makes people want to see him succeed more than they otherwise would. But dude was legit in college, he wasn't just being looked at with purple colored glasses. He led the nation in tackles as a senior. First-team...

    Pay Geno

    The argument is that none of those quarterbacks are worth the money they're making, and if they were free agents right now none of them would get paid that much. Those contracts were signed under very different circumstances. Wentz was phenomenal in his second season, got some MVP votes, led...
