Probably right. But again, where's the insane talent on display? Not saying it's Fields' fault it's not on display. But I want to see where...

I keep hearing about all this insane talent. But is it really insane? I've looked at some of his game film, one of which I think you posted. I...

Yeah. And I'm still shaking my head over how quickly and how drastically it fell apart. From hometown hero, to don't let the door hit you in the...

Finding/stealing a diamond from another team's rough would be amazing, though I think his story is more likely to end up like Mitch than Kurt Warner....

Right. We generally compete pretty well directly with AFCN teams. It's the indirect way that we don't compete as well. Our division rivals are...

If I was forced to bet $1,000 on it, I'd go with Wilson to start. Tomlin isn't going to start the younger guy who's done nothing in the league vs....

No, changing coaches guarantees nothing. But at some point, a coach gets stale. You can't just keep doing the same things over and over again and...

Yeah, it can work. But the stars have to align and the team's stars all have to stay healthy. At some point, X's and O's matter. Somehow, we seem...

That's probably also be true of Kenny after 2 years, given the coordinator, o-line and offensive philosophy he had to play under. That's what burns...
