The real Trent Dilfer is Caleb Williams. 2 100 yard running backs for the Bears in this game, and Caleb isn’t even at 100 passing yet. Dude should be taking so much heat for his awful play, but thanks to defense and run game he gets to hide behind the scoreboard

---

In what world is Celeb not getting heat? Most people would slide him down a bit on the 2024 draft board.

Also his current play is “viable NFL starter all told, but not elite, +runner with playmaking capabilities but leaves far too many plays on table”. Which backup QB are you starting over him?

“Aweful” and “not living up to 1OA hype” are two objectively different concepts.

This also seems like a weird game to bring that up.

One of the narratives to this game is the Eagles run a hyper-simple offense that relies too heavily on beating people 1:1. One of the theories is it has to stay this simple for Jaylon to process it.

Meanwhile Caleb is on game 12 of Ben Johnson motioning people everywhere, and while it’s not great, Caleb doesn’t appear to be shaken by needing to re-read a defense whenever someone crosses the center on a motion.

In the post game presser Ben Johnson even mentioned on the Cole Kmet touchdown, the first read was Swift. Caleb saw the safeties crash and went for Kmet over the top while rolling to his left.

Dilfer literally didn’t have the ability to throw that ball. And the processing from Caleb’s end was fine.

It's hard to believe it's been 20 years since Chang played college ball. I didn't think it was that long ago so I looked it up on Wiki.

Timmy Chang’s time at Hawaii corresponded with my time stationed at Pearl Harbor. It was a fun team go see at Aloha stadium.

Perfect tailgating weather always, then go watch the hometown QB pass for 800 yards behind an all Samoan offensive line vs. a team that’s still jet lagged.

Not to mention, “Timmy Chang” being the least likely name for a QB ever, one that you’d laugh at if EA Sports NCAA Football 2005 auto-generated it.

Currently?

Eli - the Manningcast is far better than Drew’s attempt to be in the broadcast booth.

If it’s to fund some meals, the $80k per year club should be able to throw 5 dollars at it too.

90% of the population shouldn’t get to vote to raise taxes on the remaining 10%.

Publicly voted tax increases should affect 51%+ of the population to be legitimate.

Just have some Jewish led financial company buy the naming rights to the place and change the name to something ridiculous, problem solved

Backyard baseball - Ohtani pitching to Prime Bonds and Prime Bonds pitching to Ohtani, who wins?

The Dodgers are going into game 4 with better rest because their DH who just reached base 9 times out of 9 is going to chew up some innings on the mound. This cannot be understated.

This can only be measured when travel ball teams in 2042 are filled with white kids named “Shohei”

He had one great game in a four game series. That doesn't deserve him the series MVP

This is quite possibly true, but it still doesn’t contradict that Game 4 was an insane performance, and given the context, it’s going to be very hard to come up with a comparable one in the 100+ year history of the modern game.

In the more advanced analytics it’s not considered to be bad on the QB (PFF uses “Turnover worthy play”)

Different people have different habits when flying, news at 11:00

My habit:

I try not to make flying day a stressful day. If it’s something like a 4 day trip I’d rather not load a bunch of stress onto the two travel days.

If I need to be somewhere for a meeting at 2PM, I’m flying the night before and not waking up at 4AM to sprint onto a 5:45AM flight.

If the quickest flight has something like a 42 minute layover in DFW, I’m re-arranging for a longer layover, I don’t mind watching football replays in an airport bar if my first flight is on time. Worrying about what happens if my first flight is delayed 12 minutes is a lot more stressful for me.

Even if you fly somewhere 10 times per year between business and vacation (so a lot, but not obscene), that’s 20 travel days which adds up if you let those be the days you dread.
