It would be funny if actual bosses of workplaces were there and they were in the background filming these people trying to flip a car before the game started, and they detected who should and who should not be hired. Then, they email their boss friends and send it around to other boss friends in the Philly area.

That would be bliss.

Imagine if people were this passionate about shit that actually matters.
 
Throwing the ball that far is not natural (or really even possible in a game setting), so he likely was trying to wind up to put every ounce of strength into the throw and the ball slipped out of his hand. Even "bombs" usually go about 40 yards in the air past the line of scrimmage, and he needed to throw the ball 80 yards into the endzone.
I know that it's not a game situation, but many years ago Brett Favre participated in the Quarterback Challenge at the Pro Bowl and was throwing the ball 90 yards on the fly during practice. IIRC he won with a 80+ yard throw in the actual competition.

If you slow the video down, you can see that Hurts plants his forward leg on the foot of the Jason Peters blocking in front of him. That's why the ball was such a duck.

Yeah that makes sense but like, you know Hurts can't do that. So why are you trying to throw a fucking hail mary then? If he can't do it why don't you throw it like 30 yards and start the lateral plays to see if something would happen? It has a better shot than chucking up a hail mary that falls 30 yards short of the closest receiver you have

Realistically whatever you call there has like a 1% chance of working anyway. Moving the ball 75 yards against quarter package prevent defense is going to be nearly impossible.

Hurts probably should've just took off with the damn thing and tried to stiff arm everyone in his way. That would've been more exciting to watch at least.

Anything would have been better than that. And a 1% chance of working is still higher than a 0% chance of working, like having Jalen Hurts try to throw the ball 90 yards to one of their receivers

The Era of the Bomb Quarterback is over though. The new meta seems to be QB/RB hybrids for better or worse. Personally I can't wait until one of these guys gets injured badly enough to end a season and the inevitable chimpout from that.
 
In hilarious news, Derek Carr decides to royally fuck over the Raiders by activating his no trade clause, thus ensuring that the Raiders would have to cut him before Tuesday to avoid having to pay him all his guaranteed money, and he now gets to become a free agent and go where ever the fuck he wants, while the Raiders get nothing in the bargain. This, kiddies, is why you don't screw over your quarterback.
I am so happy he did this. That dude did everything he could for the Raiders and they decided to fuck him over in the worst way possible as his going away present. That organization is an absolute mess and worst of all, Mark Davis looks like he found a razor and went bald
 
Josh McDaniels learned from his mistakes he said.....Josh McDaniels would be different this time he said
 
I was halfway hoping the Packers and Raiders would just swap QBs. That'd team Rodgers back up with Davante Adams, and Carr would be amusing up in Green Bay.
Yeah except Rodgers and McDaniels would be guaranteed to throw down on the sidelines at some point during the season.

Rodgers who isn't afraid to criticize the offensive scheme in pressers and McDaniels who apparently didn't let Carr audible out of anything he called. Match made in a steel cage.
 
Eric Bieniemy has been hired as the new OC for the Washington Commanders (redskins fuck you). He is technically getting a job title increase as assistant head coach and a pay raise but its basically the same job. I believe he will get play calling duties and will have more control over the offense to try and prove himself before getting head coaching duties elsewhere but this could also be a backdoor into the head coaching role for Washington in a year or two if Ron Rivera steps down/gets fired. Will be interesting to see if he succeeds and every retarded NFL commentator can say muh racism or if he goes down in flames and we see why nobody hired the OC of the chiefs despite them being such an amazing offense. Yeah its Andy Reid's offense but Nathaniel Hackett got a head coaching job and he was like 6th in line at the packers organization on deciding the offense
 
Now Bienemy gets to coach the QB that only eats chicken tenders.

I don't think this will go well.
He has been turned down by so many head coaching opportunities because he doesn't do play calling. Working with Mahomes and not doing play calling is not going to get you a head coaching job. At least here, he can get paid more and potentially show that he can actually be a head coach but I am hoping for a disaster so that the people who were crying racism as he was passed over for jobs can look like the idiots they really are

Bienemy is a run game guy. Everyone wants a QB whisperer now.

I think that's the easiest explanation for why nobody wanted to hire him. Not racism.
