The Random Thought Thread

Random thought of the day while I cram for finals and turn in every assignment from months ago: the odds of every coach in the afc north being different from week 1 of 2018 to week 1 of 2019 aren’t crazy
 
They are not crazy but betting money would still say that the only change is as always the Browns with the other 3 teams holding steady.

The Ravens are likely to win the division, the Steelers never fire a coach, and the Bengals were playing much better then a bad team like them should have been playing before the injury bug hit them hard.

I think Marvin gets fired the browns are taken care of. What makes the situation impossible is it’s unlikely for a playoff team to fire there coach. The only reason harbs and Tomlin would be gone; ravens miss the playoffs and the Steelers get utterly destroyed in the wild card after losing 2 of last 3.

I’d say there’s like a 15-20% this actually plays out and I doubt it would but I wonder if something like that has ever happened

I hope Tomlin and Lewis get extensions TBH.

Almost every player we draft gets overrated by this board.

Keep in mind drafting is not only about player evaluation but the fit he represents to the team. Most of the time it's easy to convince ourselve that even though the player was not the highest ranked on our board he can be brought to his full potential in our scheme. Case in point: Marlon Humphrey was definitely not my CB2 (barely top5 if I remember well) and I still liked the pick after giving it a few thoughts. Sometimes it works. I can tell you though I never liked the Correa pick.

I actually liked Correa as a player, strictly in the sense that I still like bowser, neither are straight edge rushers, both can be valuable in coverage, both are liabilities in the run game, both have been used horribly wrong.

While I liked the player, I didn’t like the pick, I wanted Michael Thomas, and to a lesser degree Cody whitehair.

See I hate that Bowser is being compared to Correa. There's a world of difference in terms of athleticism and play strength between the both. Bowser could be an 8 sacks guy if he had the opportunity, Correa will have a carreer year of 5.

Oh I know that, I’m not comparing talent levels, bowser is clearly a better prospect and player, just in style, neither should be playing DE and just getting to the qb, both should be off the ball as a zone LB and mix in a few blitzes and three point stance rushes, with bowser having actual man coverage ability being much lighter on his feet, and being overall better.

It’s like comparing buck Allen to ty Montgomery, same roles but Montgomery is just far more athletic and just brings better play.

Yet Allen managed to survive Forsett, Taliaferro, West, Collins, Woodhead and partly Dixon.

stephen A smith here proving he literally knows nothing about football

Stephen A. Smith’s 3 players to watch:
1. Spencer Ware (out tonight)
2. Hunter Henry (who has had a great season according to him despite being on I/R since training camp)
3. Derrick Johnson (not currently in NFL)

lmao he also called them the San Diego Chargers. stay of the weeeeed-a. The faces of bruschi and Kellerman made him say I'm also looking at Patrick Mahomes.
 
Steelers are now going to find a way to hire darth hoodie. Bengals hire John Harbaugh and poach Flacco from us and Flacco actually wins a ring with that core, and the browns will turn Baker and Chubb into Elway and Davis.

I hate our future now
 
Cyrus Jones is doing well at punt returner but I cannot help but think about the offensive contributions Janarion Grant had in the offseason. I really hope he develops in a couple years to be a reliable #2 or #3
