  • Honestly I keep ending up reading these bc I’m habitually opening the Reddit app when my mind wanders (I have severe attention deficit disorder) but there’s been almost zero value or enjoyment for me in participating here lately. Bunch of people constantly starting a few variations of the same few topics (fire X, bench Carr, tank, don’t fire X, here’s why X is better than stats show, etc).

    As if even the most shrewd and thorough analyses of any these things would ever actually find their way to the decision makers. Even if they did find their way there those decision makers wouldn’t give two shits.

    I’ve been as guilty as anyone with posts like this in the past (check my post history lol) but the discourse here has become so toxic I almost feel like I gotta unsub. Why can’t we just have a nice balance of shedding light on positive and negative, of analysis and memes, and actually foster some community in here?

    Right from the jump I didn’t like the Carr signing. We had too many holes and he wasn’t going to be good enough to tip the scales. But that’s over and done with. He’s a commodity and the team is probably going to roll with him for at least the rest of this year. And I intend to root for him like he’s Drew fuckin Brees because he’s wearing the fuckin black and gold jersey and that’s what fans are supposed to do.

    If folks can’t handle that without wasting their days away analyzing every snap of this mediocre season looking for an answer I would highly recommend you take some time off from watching football and find a more productive hobby.

    Even if that last bit is triggering for some of y’all pls know I still love y’all and we’re all on the same team here. Who dat
