since 2000, when belichick took over the reigns, the patriots have taken just 3 guys in the top half of the 1st round... the rams? 14, the most in the league.

not if it produced 27 offensive points as it did for the pats last night.... team fish/keenum aren't strangers to passing yards in the 100's, in fact 4 of keenum's 7 starts have produced passing yards in the 100's, the thing is the rams have only average 10.8 offensive points in those games... so, yeah, rams fans haven't been too excited when keenum passes for yardage in the 100's...

I could live with those low yardage totals if he could manage them to a couple TD's per game. But alas....

What's sad is that from what I understand, the playbook is the other way around.
Fisher's crew has come up with a game plan that's no complex, it requires a mensa member to figure it out, all to produce no yardage or points
Meanwhile Billy's boys have a system that's apparently easy to teach, tranfers from year to year and produces points by the bushel

prior to the season a few sports talk radio shows were running audio of goff trying to bark out a play at the los during practice, it was clear he was still learning, but the hosts took it as a chance to bash goff vs wentz, as proof wentz should have been the first overall... anyway, the nonsense goff was barking out was beyond ridiculous, and you could hear player in the background just as confused as goff, it was a comedy of errors...

the funny thing is goff's college oc, franklin, went off on nfl coaches re this very thing recently, prior to the season...

As a college coach and former high school teacher for 16 years, I think there is an elitist status in the NFL where they look at their game as something comparable to curing cancer and only a few people can understand it.

When I watch NFL film—and I frequently do—I see a game that is no different than college. The only difference is how you teach it. There are a couple of ways to teach it. I think you teach it in a manner of how someone learns. Or you can try to make something incredibly sophisticated or complicated in a long-winded teaching method.

If you're a good teacher, the goal is to make things simple to the point where your students can be successful.

There's just some form of an elitist attitude. It makes me sick to my stomach when I hear an NFL coach say, "These college coaches don't teach these guys anything anymore. It takes me three years to get all of the bad stuff out of them."

Basically, what they're saying is anything that is wrong or negative can be traced back to college or high school. Anything that is good is because they're such a genius.

I believe in the exact opposite. The best teachers and coaches are high school coaches. The second best are college coaches. And I think the worst are in the NFL.
