While I think it's certainly fair to point out that Boldin is not the player he used to be, it seems reasonable to me that he saw the events in Charlottesville as a call to action. Anybody with even a shred of ill will towards Anquan for fighting the good fight needs to choke on their white hood.
Well, clearly it's not as important as having the physical talent. A team full of coaches and leaders won't get you anywhere if they can't play at this level.Originally Posted by YardRat
Oh man, I didn't realize Fred Jackson was an brilliant as the great TJ Yates. If I'd have know that Fred Jackson could bring such knowledgeable tidbit as:
...or be able to explain such a complex scenario as...
Why didn't you say something! Someone get Freddie back here to explain some of the most basic information possible to some of the best football players in the world!
I love how these posts were attacked from both sides. You claim they're generic and obvious, Skoob told me they were needlessly introspective. You can't both be right.
If you think either of the examples you provided are useful in today's NFL, then you're a bigger idiot than even I thought. I didn't think that was possible.
Do you have anymore brilliant examples of how Yates can provide an insight that our QB coach can't?
There are countless hypothetical examples I could provide, but you won't accept a single one. Neither of us knows specifically what insight the coaches do or do not possess. Unless I'm mistaken, we agree that last year's staff was a bunch of incompetent clowns. What makes you particularly confident that the guys who hired them got it right this time? I know I'm hopeful that they did, but you're completely taking for granted the possibility that we have ****ty, stupid coaches.
Maybe Yates can teach Peterman the secret of sticking around the NFL for years when you aren't a very good player...
Of course we don't want Peterman to learn these types of things...
Lots and lots of QBs could probably have had more career longevity if they were forced to start so many games early in their career.

Maybe we'll be able to find someone after final cuts????
That and being warned of being cut, so why should he have stayed ?
Because they're all crap.
That was my original question that started this whole thing. I asked if our coaches were so bad that we couldn't develop a QB without the help of TJ 'the mastermind' Yates. Can you remember that?
If our coaches are terrible, then we've got bigger problems. TJ Yates is not going to be the difference between developing a NFL caliber QB and a scrub who'll be out of the league in 3 years.
Where did I say otherwise? Remember, my contention in the thread you DESPERATELY want to prove me wrong about was purely that he has enough value not to cut in the middle of preseason. You realize that's a thing teams don't have to do anymore, right? The only cut is the cut to 53.
TJ Yates and his 1 on 1 mentoring sessions with Peterman are worth nothing. Cut him.

What universe do you live in that you think aggressively impulsive roster decisions build championship-caliber teams?
No championship caliber team has ever cut their 3rd string QB during the preseason?
What universe do you live in that you think TJ Yates would be a valuable contributor to a championship team?

If you're not going to at least TRY to use things I've actually said as the foundation for your responses, I'm going to be forced to assume you enjoy being ridiculed.

It took me all of 10 minutes to find real world examples that throw your argument right in the trash where it belongs.
You are such a ****ing idiot. I'm legitimately embarrassed for you, now.
Matt Flynn was cut because he was injured.
Ryan Mallett was TRADED, not cut.
Hoyer, Renfree, and Simms were all cut at roster deadlines.
Not a single one of those examples is the same as cutting Yates out of the blue. Be honest, did you even bother to read a single one of those links before posting?
Cutting a worthless QB when you find out he's worthless is out of the blue?

You must be a bigger moron than everyone thought. You said that cutting Yates would be an 'aggressively impulsive roster decision' that championship caliber teams do. It's a list of 3rd string QBs who were cut/traded (cuz it's the same thing, as you lose the 'valuable' mentoring ability) around this time, which is something you said championship caliber teams don't do. You're a big dumb dummy, you big dumb dummy.
You act like cutting Yates today is so much different than cutting him in 2 weeks. It's the same thing, anyone who's not a big dumb dummy would know that.
But hey, that's 2 more weeks for Yates to tell Peterman more about how you have 4 downs to gain 10 yards, or that getting sacked is bad, or how when the play clock reaches 0 it's a delay a game, or how he should put his pants on 1 leg at a time.
Any other words of wisdom Yates could tell Peterman?
Do you even have a point anymore besides making yourself look stupid?
