    Call me crazy, but I assumed the guys agreeing “Malik Murphy should starts” thought he’d be a better option.

    Arguing that Card isnt solely responsible for the loss and that throwing the 4th string QB who has never taken a snap in as the starter might not be a great idea=a Card stan?
  3. formermav43
    No, not really. He complete 64% of his passes at a greater yds/attempt and per completion than Young with no turnovers, most of that on one leg. Of course Ewers would have done more. Of course you’d like more points. And maybe he’d have gotten them without the injury. But regardless, there were lots of reasons for the loss: No running game Uncalled penalties Bad snap on fg Missed tackle by Watts This isn’t like Simms throwing 4 ints in the Big 12 title game. Calling him the “main reason we lost” is just bizarre. I guess I can’t really explain it, to answer the earlier question, because it’s like we didn’t even watch the same game.

    He clearly looked completely healthy and pain free on that run. Excellent observation.
  5. formermav43
    It’s not about the criticism. It’s that’s the criticism is asinine.
  6. formermav43
    It’s not about being “back.” Whatever that means. It’s limited entirely to not being able to win with Card, which is literally what was said (despite him backing away from it a bit now). Obviously it lowers the team’s ceiling, but unless he’s out for the season, I don’t see why we’re doomed looking at the next few weeks.

    I think Nick Saban knew that, and he still almost lost. And that UTSA isn’t Alabama. And you think we’re gonna roll our Murphy or I guess Wright and *not* rely on the running game and simplifying the game plan? Uh, sure.
  8. formermav43
    I don’t get this negativity. We almost beat #1 with Card on one leg, and now we suddenly can’t handle UTSA?
  9. formermav43
    And obviously the guy who hasn’t even won the #3 QB job or taken a snap gives us the best chance to win.
  10. formermav43
    Then he should fit right in with most of our fan base.
  11. formermav43
    No one has that.
  12. formermav43
    Wait, you’re blaming THAT play on Card?
  13. formermav43
    That’s the new thread worthy takeaway from this game? I don’t know why I expected anything else. We chafe at the cesspool comment, but it’s pretty accurate.

    I think our most recent ex-President (not to mention Boris Johnson) are compelling arguments for having a separate head of state from the head of government.
  15. formermav43
    You sound like a big John Chiles fan.

    McCormick is a perfectly acceptable option in CF. It will be much easier to upgrade 1B and/or LF.
  17. formermav43
    But even if that’s true, there’s no real back end of a contract on a guy who’s 40 next season. No one is giving him more than 2, *maybe* 3 years regardless. They’re absolutely willing to do that. Edit: Verlander signed his previous extension prior to the 2019 season. Had nothing to do with COVID.
  18. formermav43
    It’s not quite the same level, but Brantley at 2/$32M is relevant too-that was top 15ish for OF in AAV.
  19. formermav43
    How does Verlander not count? His salary still makes him one of the 10 highest paid pitchers in MLB, and that’s giving it to a guy who theoretically could have been worthless.
  20. formermav43
    That’s not a bad deal based on the way he’s pitching today, but I’m not sure 33-34 year old Valdez is even going to be replacement level (see Keuchel, Dallas).
  21. formermav43
    FWIW, Valdez won’t hit free agency until 2026. He’ll be 32 and groundball pitchers (and he’s the most extreme one there is) don’t tend to age well at all. I doubt he’s an extension candidate.
  22. formermav43
    That’s not really accurate. What they won’t do is sign higher priced older guys for longterm deals. There’s no reason to believe they wouldn’t be willing to bring Verlander back for 2-3 seasons at a higher AAV. I mean, they just gave him $25 million (with an option year at the same price) when he hadn’t really pitched since 2019.
  23. formermav43
    There’s a much larger sample says that indicates he sucks. As bad as Meyers was this season, his triple slash line and wRC+ are basically identical to Brinson’s career average across over 1,000 plate appearances.
  24. formermav43
    I gather that your degree wasn’t in Classics.

    It's odd for the Giants. Not so odd for the Astros, who have turned a worthless minor league free agent into something, even if it's just cash.
