If Bozeman doesn't return, I'm all in on this free agent #SIIE.

We would not spend Jensen money on a center

He's already been paid and decent chance he wants around what Boeman asks to stay on a good team. Plus some familiarity.
Although Flacco was before Burrow as Joe Cool, the original Joe Cool was Joe Namath, although he was normally just referred to as Broadway Joe.

Many on RSR keep saying Harbaugh doesn’t know how to win in the modern league, but contrary to common belief it’s the Bengals defense for why they’re in the damn super bowl.

So was two years ago, when they went 14-2, not considered "modern"? What era was that in, then?
Frankly, fans emphasize the playoffs a little too much in my eyes. Its all just recency bias. The playoffs is entirely about matchups. Its just a series of win-or-go-home games that are dependent on how a team matches up and gameplans for another.
I tried to explain this to a buddy of mine, who really only follows the NFL for fantasy, the other day, when I was betting on NFL games.
The Rams were a bad matchup for the Bucs, and the 49ers are a bad matchup for the Rams. Nobody actually thinks the 49ers are a better overall team than the Rams, but when they play them, they went 2-1 against them and obviously were close to winning a third time.
If Tampa had beaten the Rams, I would have guaranteed they'd have beaten the 49ers by double digits. Maybe even by 15+ points. Its a horrible matchup for the 49ers.
I think Buffalo beats Cincinnati a lot if they played each other. Yet, they didn't play. I think New England would have had a pretty good chance to beat Cincinnati a lot too. They didn't play.
This notion that teams should only be evaluated based on whether they win SBs or not is pretty laughable to me. Or when people watch the playoffs and see how teams win, and then they say "o see you gotta play that exact way otherwise you'll never win". Pure stupidity. There's no one way to win in this league. If you ever come across somebody who views losing in the SB as a "knock" against a player or a team, write that person off immediately as somebody that knows literally nothing about football.
Last year everybody told me that all KC needed to do was fix its Oline, and they'd be right back. They damn near overhauled the whole thing, improved it dramatically... and they didn't even make it back to the SB. High quality Oline, Mahomes at QB, playmakers all over the offense, and they came up shorter than they did the prior two years. So where does the goal post get moved to now?
Reason # 272 was RSR football "fans" are clowns.

I thought Montana was the original? Were they both "Joe Cool"?
yes, I'm almost positive they were both referred as Joe Cool.
I guess all you have to be is good and named Joe.

I think many wanted to keep him just don't think we could afford him at the time. Could be wrong about that too. Seems so long ago.

All in what the priorities were, center wasn’t one of them.
Many said he wasn’t that good a center, not his natural position. That he would be easy to replace.

Bill sent an accidental text on purpose. He just wants to see the league burn.

ive read the text - looks like he sent the text on purpose but having been told that daboll had been given the job but misreading that it was flores so texted flores to congratulate him
So why did Joe Namath get the nickname then?

Oof, that's awkward
now that much I'm not sure of. I do remember Montana being referred Joe Cool quite often though back in the 80s
