Who was it that had "huge” news and had the NFL fan base on the edge of their seats and announced first NFL player had Covid.

Dak is a caretaker, he's not an elite QB talent like Brees or Brady who play until they're 40, he's more like a more athletic Dalton.

As his legs go in his 30s, his arm will be exposed.

Glazer and it wasn’t even the first player. He was the first to test positive I believe but there were others who announced they had it before his announcement

We already knew for like 2 weeks that there were COVID cases in the NFL. Glazer I think was first to release a name. Which... no one cared about.

I thought Von Miller was one of the first but Allen tested positive like a month before the announcement so he was technically the first or something stupid 

I like Dak in that I think he’s a good teammate, leader, nice guy, he says all the right things, shows up for camp, doesn’t miss time .... but he’s a physically limited QB who makes a lot of bad throws because of bad mechanics.  I’ve said many times he can’t make a throw to save his life while he’s flushed to his right.

No question he can command $35M on the open market, but he is not a guy who will succeed without an excellent core around him.  If he wants to put business over football, then at some point Jones will put business first as well.  He won’t get franchised next year unless DAL has a strong season and playoff run — DAL will roll with Dalton and draft another QB, or Rodgers will get completely fed up with Lafleur and decide maybe McCarthy wasn’t so bad after all.

Dak is a better QB than Eagle fans give him credit for but no way he’s better than McNabb at this point in his career. Certainly not production and certainly not talent. 
 

And you can’t compare stats... it’s a different era bozos.

I’m familiar with the stats. He was a really good QB paired with a HOF offensive coach/play caller. That’s usually what happens. 

Mcnabb was elite for maybe 2 seasons of his career the rest he was average to above average.

Mcnabb had good play calling, good to great o lines and jim johnson defenses most his career.

Its tough watching old games of mcnabb and seeing the worm burners missed throws and lack of pocket presence.

His athletic ability made up for a lot of his throwing deficiencies though his arm strength was elite,where as Dak might be slightly less athletic but i think hes also a better passer than mcnabb.

I appreciate what mcnabb did but looking back his career is as disappointing as it was to watch him not win anything😞

Really great play calling? Yeah, I don’t remember that. I remember Reid incessantly calling pass plays with horrible WR personnel.

Yet with that horrible WR personnel and a qb who struggled with accuracy they were able to win a lot of games because Reid could generate points more often than not with scheme. Lots of screens scheming guys open, Mcnabb wasnt an anticipatory passer, he didnt throw guys open or make a lot of pin point passes the majority of his throws were to guys the scheme had gotten open then a lot of manufactured yards through screen then hed make a few big plays where he would extend plays with legs.

Having him drop back read a defense and fire a ball accurately to a spot in rhythm not his strong suit like a manning brady rogers brees elite qbs.

Not that simple, in WWII Generals were commanding soldiers.

Like a lot of industries, there's fewer employees per executive due to "automation," we rely less on mass attacks and more on technology/equipment.

At the same time, the "quality" of generals is up, because the world they deal with is far more complex, simply knowing military strategy isn't nearly enough these days.

Look at the background of McMaster,

Born in Philadelphia, McMaster graduated from the United States Military Academy in 1984, and later earned a Ph.D. in American history from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His Ph.D. thesis was critical of American strategy and military leadership during the Vietnam War and served as the basis for his book Dereliction of Duty, which is widely read in the United States military. During the Gulf War, McMaster served as a captain in the 2nd Cavalry Regiment, taking part in the Battle of 73 Easting.

After the Gulf War, McMaster served as a military history professor at the United States Military Academy from 1994 to 1996, became a research fellow at the Hoover Institution, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a Consulting Senior Fellow at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS).^[2] He held a series of staff positions in the United States Central Command. In 2004, he took command of the 3rd Cavalry Regiment and fought the Iraqi insurgency in Tal Afar. He became a top counterinsurgency advisor to General David Petraeus before serving as the Director of the Army Capabilities Integration Center. He also served as the Deputy to the Commander for Planning of the International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and, in 2012, became Deputy Commanding General of the Army Training and Doctrine Command.

Do the machines salute?   McMaster is one example.  How about the other 900+?  Let’s talk about Petraeus.  After he retired as a general and headed the CIA, he trained his associates to hand him water on his runs.  Sounds like he got used to having servants as a general. I don’t care how many machines are out there or how much the military has outsourced, we don’t need twice the flag officers for a tenth of the size of the military. It is wasteful.

This all depends on how you're flying. If a service member is on official travel or hops on a MAC flight, they'll likely get to fly in a C-40 as well. Those are used mainly for official travel. Active duty, dependents, and retirees can sign up to take one for leisure trips and they're cheap as hell but it's not a guarantee you'll fly that day. If another member on official orders needs a seat you'll get bumped.

I just came home on a C-40 I promise it isn't a tricked out anything lol it is almost exactly like a southwest plane. 

 

But the service member doesn’t decide where the plane is going, the brass does.

By tricked out, I meant countermeasures and other military requirements. 

LeBron is really something on the issues that he gives an opinion on. His lips are as tight as a lid on anything regarding China, but he'll come out and defend Wojnarowski for getting suspended from ESPN for telling a senator "FU" in an email when the senator inquired about if the NBA would allow "Free Hong Kong" as part of their social justice jersey phrases. He was also mum on Stephen Jackson coming out and supporting DeSean's comments. 

Betting Jerrah blinks before Dak.

LeBron is about LeBron.

He is going with his name on his jersey because he was given no say on the list of sayings the NBA approved to be on jerseys. 

Its all about him. No one consulted him on that so he wont participate.

He just comes across as a guy who is for causes that don't harm him financially or socially. The NBA is anti-Trump, so him coming out with a comment against Trump isn't anything earth-shattering, provocative, or risky. It's trendy, so it's a safe take for him to have. But China directly impacts his wallet and Stephen Jackson is a basketball confidante within the NBA circle so him coming out against Jackson would be taken as him "ratting out" a counterpart. He won't touch those two issues because of the ramifications it would have. 

Been mostly laying low. Besides the horrible news about Brandon Brooks, what's the news on the relative health of the unit that will have everything to say about how successful 2020 will and can be.  People are so obsessed with the CeeDee's of the world.  That's nonsense.  The Eagles will either ride their healthy offensive line to 10-13 victories and an easy campaign in frankly a weak NFC East who can't match our line play ( The D line is SO MUCH improved inside in 2020) or they'll be plagued like last year unable to field a healthy 5 week in week out.

Figured they'll probably buck up for Peters for another year with Brooks going down.

Lane's ok and ready to go right? Yeah we've got the kid who doesn't show much promise yet at LT but maybe this will let him play Guard . I know Peters was a huge liability at times and don't want him back but nobody saw Brooks going down. Is Peters willing to play RG? 

This legit made me laugh, from extremeskins

Just realized this, and it truly sucks. The very last game in Redskins history will be a 47-16 loss to the Cowboys at home. Can't these ****s just give us one more game to play before we give the name the Fredo treatment? I don't care who it is. 

Stupid F'ers got swept by us as well in their final season with that name.

He probably should’ve come out and said something against Stephen Jackson And desean jackson. A couple years ago he used a rap lyric that was offensive to Jews about it’s OK we make that Jew money we keep it kosher, he didn’t realize what it meant Or why some were offended by. And he had to apologize. You’d think after that he’d say something about desean and Stephen but not shocking stayed quite on that issue largely cause it likely didn’t effect him. Darryl Morey came out and tweeted what he did and Lebron and the nba lost their minds knowing they’d lose a ton of money cause of the Chinese market. The NBA is about their money and really couldn’t care less as long as they are making money from overseas markets like china.

Yea but the terminals put schedules out all the time, the servicememember knows exactly where they're going. 

And they don't even have countermeasures, it is literally a 737 the inside is just arranged differently. It's a logistics plane used for transport. The variant for flag officers might have like internet or something but the airframe is no different than what you can see at the airport
