    The rivalry is back on

    I think it’s the opposite — I don’t think he’s a particularly good OC but I think he was a fine to pretty good HC (and an abysmal GM)

    there’s *something* there considering that he’s had 1 total losing season in his head coaching career (including the post-Sandusky Penn St era) despite his teams (and particularly the offenses) never passing the eye test

    the man went 9-7 with a QB room of Hoyer/Mallett/Yates/Weeden and then went 9-7 again the next year with a QB room of Osweiler/Savage!

    I think it’s totally fine and reasonable if someone thinks Herbert is better than Burrow. I’ve read/heard good reasons as to why. I also think it’s totally fine and reasonable if someone thinks Burrow is better than Herbert. It doesn’t need to be a debate every couple of months in this thread. They are both among the best in the league. We don’t need to keep splitting hairs.

    Also @Dinkleberg I think it is fair for me to dismiss the notion that Herbert is “more talented” than Joe Burrow because that’s just looking at talent through an arbitrary lens. No reason to really try to compartmentalize skillsets because what that’s really doing is discrediting Burrow’s claim as a top 3 QB in the NFL (which he has very much earned).

    I do not think Herbert is dumb and can’t read defenses, i more so think Burrow is meticulously advanced at processing. To like, a Peyton Manning / Drew Brees degree. Herbert is a great starting QB but Burrow sees things that Herbert’s (and Lawrence’s) don’t

    What is everyone looking forward to about training camp regarding their teams?

    Frankly it's hard for me to take Herbert vs Burrow seriously

    Burrow's ball placement is so elite mixed w/ everything else, clearly ahead

    Signs that help begin to answer the following questions:
    Is Christain Gonzalez gonna be a stud
    Breakout year for Tyquan Thornton
    How do they plan on managing the stable of Hybrid LB/S they have

    But what does it matter if Burrow is top 3 and Herbert is top 5? Is that worth having the debate in here time and time again? Where’s the Burrow vs Lamar debate? Like, again, it’s splitting hairs. If Burrow is QB3 and Herbert is QB5 or QB6, then whatever. Looks like they’re both fucking great to me. I just think, from both sides of the debate, it’s so tired at this point

    Gonzalez falling to the Patriots was one of the most bananas things to me about the draft

    Bob was a coordinator with the best qb of all time, the only thing good he did was make christian hackenberg look decent for one season

    I'm really high on this years draft class. Pulling Gonzalez and White is fun, and i think Marte Mapu is going to quickly become my favorite player lol

    I'm also pretty excited to see if there's anything there with Kayshon Boutte

    Ok, but it's only going to be about people making fun of the places we live, and also some Pokemon Go.

    For me it’s more so that arm talent / being physically gifted is overrated at that position. That’s really the hair I’m trying to split. (And my hair clumps together in big nappy curls so splitting hairs for me is actually a noticeable distinction)

    Has anyone gone to watch training camp recently? I went with my dad growing up and he still goes most years but it just seems boring to me plus it’ll be like 90+ outside.

    Demeco's defense
    Slowik's offense (how does it look?)
    The rookies & other young players
    Which WRs will emerge?
    The good vibes finally returning to the team after so many bad, directionless seasons in a row

    I hope Skyy Moore continues to develop into a good receiver
    I hope Kadarius Toney takes better care of himself
    I hope KC pays Chris Jones SOON
    I hear that Drue Tranquill has been on the field a lot, I hope he's good enough to make up for the dumb spelling of his name

    Yeah, this is the deal breaker. I bet it's kinda fun, maybe? I mean they're not really doing anything that crazy but also the players tend to try to be interactive with the fans, but it's fucking HOT. Fuck that.
