@StoolGreenie I see 12.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@FB_FilmAnalysis @PapaStew80 All of that can be true, and I’m sure that’s a huge factor. I simply maintain that Jalen can excel in a creative McDaniel system. He may also design a system that emphasizes outside throws, but I believe he can succeed in a MOF dominant scheme if he had to.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@FB_FilmAnalysis @sultansofpa This proves my point more than yours. He’s playing within a limited, boring, predictable system! Look at the route charts that Nate references in that very tweet!

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@FB_FilmAnalysis @sultansofpa His passing charts with Steichen and Moore were insane. But with more limited playcallers like Johnson and Petullo he gets crucified for being limited (by virtue of playing within a limited system).

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@FB_FilmAnalysis @sultansofpa See, that’s the thing: the “something he doesn’t like to do” is just not based in fact or supported by the numbers. He’s great when he does it! He also throws an incredible deep ball because his WRs routinely win on the outside.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@FB_FilmAnalysis @sultansofpa You implied that he couldn’t thrive in a system that played more over the middle.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@FB_FilmAnalysis Just because they don’t call a ton of those plays does not mean he can’t excel in a system that emphasizes those throws. He’s an excellent passer over the middle when called to do so. Maybe another chip and you’ll respect him? 🤷‍♂️

@milohtic @LAbound2 Nobody says he’s overrated as a passer/playmaker (when he decides he can’t get a good enough look with :05 on the shot clock). It’s just that he’s wildly overrated as a BASKETBALL player.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@LAbound2 Awesome play from a certified number 2, or possibly overqualified number 3 option on a good team!

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@LevAkabas Players are actually allowed to do that when the defender is Dillon Brooks.

@IAPonomarenko @alyankovic?

@kickballki53359 @DataBasedBets @CompareTheNames Gold medalist, buddy. 😉

@jmrphy @JoeCassandra Joe is a very “trad,” homeschool, Christian fundamentalist. I wouldn’t worry about his take on marital relations.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@jmrphy It’s a razor’s edge to walk. I have 5 and 3 y/o with twins on the way. You’re not a monster at all. But I’d ask: is there anything about the experience of parenting a typical “insatiable” 4 year old you *do* enjoy? And if so, ask yourself why you enjoy those more than playing.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@DataBasedBets @CompareTheNames Believe me, they do. They do that to further embolden you, knowing you’ll find some other outlet (which they also own) for your continued action. But go off!

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@DataBasedBets @CompareTheNames You should definitely do that. The books would love it, and probably help you draft your resignation letter. I can see it in the newspapers now: “Local Man Certain His Current Hot Streak Will Last Forever, Unlike Every Other Hot Streak Ever.”

@idontgetball You nailed what I see as the biggest issue; lack of toughness. Not a single junk yard dog on this team who gives more than a fleeting shit about the outcome of a possession, let alone a game. Nobody fights for loose balls, nobody hard fouls the opponents best players. No dogs.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@SixersAdam Committed to shooting his way out of it, too. Can’t tell if I love that or hate that.

[Jesse Vipond @TheVipe]

@HoopsReference This is peak Philly sports fan mentality today. The absolute best player on a pretty good team needs to stop doing this one tiny “flaw” while ignoring the fact that he’s gone up two levels and completely carries the team. Thankfully the Sixers hate is only .001 the Eagles hate.
