BKOB Presents: Tuesday’s Knowledge Knotebook – Week 5 Edition

Greetings, SKA Users

It’s Tuesday and that means I should post a new article.

My proprietary Knowledge Table Technology has been co-opted by the Federal Government in their mission to seek out and eradicate Knowledge Haters across the nation. I think I speak for everyone when I say “Godspeed you brave heroes. We’re all cheering for you.” The Real BKOB Report will return when I no longer have a social life.

For now, I’ll use this platform to share some of my observations from the past week of watching the NFCW. Join me, won’t you?

NFCW Observations:

#MVPurdy looks a little rusty. He also looked a little rusty last year. In fact, #MVPurdy has won only 7 of his last 18 starts (including his SB loss). Granted, that’s probably better than you or I could do, but is it better than Mac Jones could do? Let’s take a look

Last 18 Starts (including playoffs):
B Purdy – 7-11
M Jones – 6-12
R Wilson – 7-11

There you have it, ladies and gentlekrunks. Brock was once known as “Robo-Purdy”, who was “only programmed to win.” Now he’s more like the Robo-Taxi, who seems unlikely to ever deliver as promised. How much guaranteed money is left on that contract, btw?

The Big Picture:

Everyone loves unpopular opinions. That seems counterintuitive, but just stick with me here.

Here’s one of MY unpopular opinions: I VASTLY prefer the original “Sudden Death” overtime rules we all grew up with. “You mean the ones where they flip a coin, kick a Field Goal and the game is over?” That is correct. “But, but, Brett Favre and the Vikings lost the NFCCG and Favre never got a chance to go out and win it!!” That is incorrect. Brett Favre DID have a chance to go out and win it. He had 60 minutes of regulation to win the game. If you want to avoid the coin toss, the NFL has a wonderful program where you can win a game in the first 60 minutes. Teams were more aggressive in the final minutes of the 4th quarter, they were less likely to protect a tied score, and less likely to settle for a FG when a Touchdown would seal the deal. And, most importantly, we had LESS TIES!! Imagine paying to go see that DAL/GB game, plus parking, plus food/drinks, plus DUI attorneys, etc. all so you could watch no one win anything. Are we soccer fans?? Of course not, that’s why I say bring back sudden death and let’s be done with stupid TIES forever. I wanna puke. Rant over.

Special Feature: Russell Carrington Wilson and the Forgotten Generation of QBs

Russell Carrington Future HOFer Wilson is by far the most dominant QB drafted between Aaron Rodgers (2005) and Patrick Mahomes (2017). That’s a twelve year stretch where one 3rd round QB towered over all the others – not physically, of course, but metaphorically. Don’t believe me? Let me convince you of your foolishness

As you can see, I just won every RW SKA argument forever. Russell Carrington Wilson has the most 1st Place stats (10 – including Win%, TD:INT ratio, YPA, Passer Rating, Pro Bowls, All Pros, Div Titles, Conf Titles and SB Titles), and he’s the ONLY QB who is top 3 in every category. Matt Ryan and Stafford have a higher volume of accumulated Yards and Touchdowns, but when we factor in Games Played we see that they are pathetic losers compared to Mr Unlimited.

A few years from now Wilson will be retired, Big Ben will be in the HOF with Rodgers shortly behind him… after that, who gets in? Probably Philip Rivers and Matt Ryan, even though they never won anything and their accomplishments pale in comparison to RW… Then who? Will the HOF voters wait for Mahomes, Lamar and Josh Allen to finish playing before inducting another QB? Or will they make the obvious selection and induct the most dominant and most successful QB of his generation, Russell Wilson? I know what I would do.

Thanks for Reading, and I’ll see you in the Comments Section!!
