  1. I’d argue that yips also applies to Ben Simmons. The guy just totally broke down over a few seasons and lost all will to shoot.
  2. Jahlil Okafor and Markelle Fultz, respectively.
  3. Tennessee vs. Pittsburgh Miami vs. Kansas City Minnesota vs. Atlanta Chicago vs. New Orleans LA Rams vs. Green Bay Washington vs. New England Seattle vs. Baltimore Tampa Bay vs. Houston Arizona vs. Cleveland Indianapolis vs. Carolina NY Giants vs. Las Vegas Dallas vs. Philadelphia Buffalo vs. Cincinnati LA Chargers vs. NY Jets
  4. The Hamilton crowds will get you in other ways. I'd insert that one popular image about the Hamilton fandom/fanart community here, but I don't think it's allowed on the forum. But yeah, the in-season tournament stuff looks fairly tacky, and it will no doubt be successful enough to keep the tournament around.
  5. You don't need to worry about BrandMooreArt, he hasn't posted here in years.
  6. It’s been true a hell of a lot longer than that. Also, the Hamilton analogy is much more on-point that you’d think, as far as it comes to the messaging. The only other musical that’d be similar is Bad Cinderella, but nobody saw that one outside of Slime Tutorials.
  7. Also, the resulting CBA helped produce a lot of stuff that contributed to the strangeness (e.g., salary cap expansion, the eventual Durant-to-Warriors unpleasantness, and the increased emphasis on analytics). Then the Warriors got good and everybody tried copying them to limited success.
  8. It’s a shame the CBA got approved earlier this year, the league could do with a strike or lockout.
  9. This may just be me, but I really think this “NBA turning point” was the 2011 lockout. That’s when the “weird” started, for lack of a better term.
  10. Man, the Sharks are just garbage. I know they’re in the middle of tearing it down, but it’s really brutal.
  11. He really didn’t. His performance was already starting to falter after 2013 and he just never really recovered. He was an RG3-contemporary, from a time when mobile QB’s were “figured out” after a year or two and nobody really knew how to help them along like they do now. Russ emerged as the best one of that era because he had more versatile skills, while Karpernick just stalled out. Kaepernick could’ve had more to give if he made significant changes to his game and had a better organization around him - one that wasn’t feeding him to Chip Kelly. Having a year or two off probably would’ve helped, but the NFL blacklisted him and we didn’t ever get to know that. A team in 2020 or 21 should’ve given him a shot to fill in for a QB with COVID though - nothing to lose by trying at that point.
  12. It’s close, but the Oilers’ 1960 font was somewhat less well-produced. Serifs on the 1 are the biggest separation.
  13. Exactly, it was a hard-fought game. After that, Kaepernick started to decline, parallel to Harbaugh becoming the crazy fella we know and love (to make fun of) today. Also, the majority of the Super Bowl contender Niners players left during the 2014-15 offseason, accelerating Kaep's decline. You seemed to ignore my larger point about the dishonesty of pretending that Kaepernick was still a top-tier player after 2013/14. He simply was not, especially not in an organization that was hell-bent on creating a hostile environment for players and coaches.
  14. He was declining rapidly on-field after 2013 and devolved into Sackorpick by the end. He’s probably the best, but I would not rate him very high at all. He’s only a tad above Harbaugh-led Alex Smith. I fully agree with his politics, but he was just not a serviceable QB at all after 2013. It’s dishonest to say he was “in his prime” or still amazing after the Seahawks rolled the Niners in the NFCCG.
  15. People love the consistent stripe pattern. Of course, it probably wouldn’t translate well to navy/red/white, as they’d just turn into knockoff Ohio State.
  16. He was fine-to-mediocre, a C quarterback if you will. He's another name on the Browns' infinite QB jersey (after he played in SF), if that gives any context. It applies, especially when he spent his time in SF and as a Tom Brady backup.
  17. You see, I'd rank him below Harbaugh-era Alex Smith/Collin Kaepernick and Jimmy G.
  18. Ah, my mistake. Darnold. I get my backup QB's confused. Have they ever truly had one since Steve Young?
  19. Exactly, let Bradford start. Or don't trade Trey Lance. That was the #1 overall defense in the league and it's not like the first five weeks featured defenses of the same level.
  20. He got a massive concussion and the team rushed him back, hence the cognitive decline. It's a less heinous version of what happened to Tua last year.
  21. It seems that rushing a QB back from concussion protocol us a bad idea. Who’d have thunk it?
  22. They were also the most out-of-place member of an ancient division (Broncos, Chargers, Chiefs, and Raiders all going back to 1960) and royal/green teams just seemed generally invisible/infamously bad throughout the '70s-early '00s.
  23. I hate that the stripe widths are all over the place, as it really defeats the purpose of a consistent stripe pattern.
