I was mildly joking. But at the same time he was pretty good in limited action this year. I don't think we should get rid of him to get rid of him.. we need to keep him until better players have pushed him off the roster which realistically wont be for a few more years.

In 2005, A) I was blind and thought Vermeil would get us a Super Bowl win with a defense and B) Tedford QBs sacred me.

No, because then we would have lost to the Cardinals in the playoffs.

I have hated every coaching hire since Hank Stram was fired, with the exception of Marv Levy.

But of all those hires, Dick is the one I hated the most after Herman ****ing Edwards.


His Chiefs teams performed at about the level I expected.

Why there isn't more hatred around here for Grandpa is a mystery to me.

He and CP were a poisonous mix for the long-term viability of the franchise.

Teams seem to get blinded by the so called "measurables" like Boller's arm strength. I'm sure scouts were salivating at JaMarcus Russell's raw tools as well...

Because people can't see beyond the pretty offensive numbers.

Its bc the offense was pretty during that time.

Basically Dick's years was getting blue balls from a hot chick, while Herm's was getting blue balls from an ugly one. Same result but the hot chick you could brag alittle bit.

Meh...He wasn't the reason they lost the game. He played fantastic, Warner was just a bit better.

Why did you not like Dick Vermiel?

Would the offense be far more productive? Of course. Because when you have a sack of ****ing shit QB, that kind of hampers things. Just like when we had a sack of shit RB, running the ball looked like a lost cause.

Statistically, we have damn near the worst QB in the league. FFS, of course it could be better.

You don't think throwing to the likes of Jennings/Driver, etc. has a major role in Rodgers' success?

How many circus catches did Jennings make in the Arizona game alone today?

Put Rodgers in an offense where he is throwing to the likes of Lance Long, Bobby Wade, Dwayne Bowe, Chris Chambers, etc and a group of WRs that leads the league in dropped passes and he isn't going to look much better than Cassel did this year.
