NFL Week 7: Generic QB number, generic thread title, generic team name

I just don't get why Gase gets any credit for Manning's success. Manning was 37 when Gase showed up. He goes to Chicago as the OC and the team finishes 18th in total offense. THAT is who he is. Don't know why Miami bit, have no idea why the Jets picked him up.

 

Because Jets

 

You look at his resume and there just isn't much there except for Manning. There are some really dumb people who run NFL teams.

 

Yep...and usually they own the Jets or the Bengals. Cincinnati hired Zac Taylor because he just happened to...play Friday Night poker games with Sean McVay

 

I kind of think incompetents tend to hire people who either will "just be grateful for the chance," don't realize how crummy the organization is, or won't be too demanding of the ownership/will be intimidated enough by the front office that they'll be good soldiers.

 

I don't remember. I just remember that he wasn't good at all.

 

It feels like Leinart used football as a springboard to getting a TV studio job. Which probably isn't the worst idea.

 

Weird flex, but OK.
Buccaneers-Raiders is moving to Sunday afternoon because of positive COVID tests among the Raiders. Apparently the virus was scheduled to work the night shift Sunday, and they wanted to sneak it in.
Seahawks at Cardinals is moving from late afternoon to the Sunday night game.

Week 7 schedule changes: NFL moves Seahawks-Cardinals to 'SNF'; Bucs-Raiders earlier kickoff

 

It's the NFL. They're moving it out of the prime time spot, because if it was there, it's the elephant in the room the entire time.

 

They moved it because if the game gets cancelled, then they don't have a Sunday night game.

 

Sonny Jurgensen is a Duke guy.
