WFT's Off-Season Thread

The Washington Post really pissed me off with how they handled the news regarding the passing of Marty.

“Marty Schottenheimer, NFL coach whose teams wilted in the postseason, dies at 77”

Unbelievably inappropriate and insensitive.

This all about money wanting to get paid...pass

Social media has become a tool for small minded athletes...mental midgets. Don’t need them here.

A man handle things the right way...he ain’t a man but a lil bitch

NO TRADES, LOL.
Build through the draft and sign select FAs.
Draft picks are gold.

Gets fired from his job for partying with nasty strippers in a pandemic...posts Bible verses.

I am not the Judge and if he actually did turn his life around and found God that quickly, that's awesome, but it's just an odd post considering circumstances. He has a track record of immaturity.

Anyways, good luck, kid...hope you turn everything around on and of the field.

I don't think he can beat out Josh Dobbs or even Duck Hodges for third-string QB if he comes back to town.

The Steelers have the long view in mind. They have had Big Ben for 15 years plus and won 2 SBs with him. They understand the value of long-term stability at QB and are looking for the next 10 year+ starter at QB. No one would dispute that Haskins has 1st round talent, he has a live arm and is accurate when he doesn't get lazy with mechanics, but he is a mess mentally in terms of both maturity and the basic intelligence to read Ds. You bring him in, and he has 2 years to get it together. The price is one roster slot, 3rd string QB, if he stops the ridiculousness immediately over short term, with the potential payoff being a long-term franchise QB without spending any draft picks. Can you imagine how Pittsburgh is sitting if Haskins can become even a quality back-up? Much less starter? If Haskins is the Pittsburgh franchise QB in 2023 for the next decade? It is a long shot, but a smart one, given how hard franchise QBs are to find. He takes the roster position of a 6th CB or LB that primarily plays ST.

The mentality is what is telling. The long-term perspective. The Skins were smart for cutting Haskins. It was the right choice. But we need the same long-term perspective when it comes to finding our franchise QB, and not knee-jerk trades.

Man Haskins was a tool. Gift wrapped a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and flushes it down the drain. What a moron. The laziness in game prep was the real killer, and the lack of character to face the media. He doesn't seem to love the game and probably attained success in college without putting in the kind of work a pro QB does in film, preparation, etc. Interesting to see if he is ever willing to put in that kind of work. If you don't love that process, love the game, 20+ hours a week in addition to practice can become quite a grind. The scouts almost certainly told THE DAN this before he picked Haskins anyway.

Marty firing = Snyder's worst football related fuck-up

Whenever the word hospice pops up, very bad news is typically right around the corner.

RIP Marty!

RIP indeed.
Now your supposition that Marty firing is worst THE DAN decision could spark some fun debate. Hiring Allen? Keeping Allen? Hiring Cerrato Ye Dunce? Keeping him? Hiring Zorn? Forcing RGIII trade? I mean firing Marty was dumb, but it is SOOOO hard to rank THE DAN'S dumbest decisions because there have been so many.

The Post writers. Not the ownerz.

Seriously what I was thinking. Who was like “ok a real good person who everyone respects died after a really sad and public bout with Alzheimer’s , I think ill lead with his ineptitude in the playoffs”. Wow.

There is no excuse for this. Everyone involved should be ashamed. People fuck up, so I'm not always gung-ho for a firing. But there is literally not a .0001% reason why that got published.

We all (all sports fans) have more than enough things to argue about, without shitting on sport's legends like Marty.

Raven's might be shopping Zeus, Jr this offseason. The price might be steep though.

RIP indeed.

Signing Haynesworth.

Signing Haynesworth.

McNabb is a close second.

Adam Archuleta's contract too.
