Have We Seen The Last Of Tom Brady?

 Tom Brady has had a career no one ever thought he would, so you cannot blame him if he decides to walk away. After last night's loss to the Dallas Cowboys, many people think he just does not have it anymore. I'm not in that thinking at all. Tampa Bay's offense had a lot of issues and you cannot lie that all at Tom Brady's lap. Have we seen the last of Tom Brady? Let's take a closer look at what he could do in the future.

First and foremost retirement is an option as he does have a big fat contract with Fox Sports he could go to right now. I do not see Brady doing that though, as he still loves the game of football and wants to go out as a winner, not a loser. Will Brady return to the Bucs? Do not look for Brady to return to Tampa Bay as they have too many issues and he does not want to deal with them at his age.

There are a few teams that make sense for Tom Brady. He wants a team that he can help lead that is talented and ready to win a Super Bowl. He wants to be that missing piece that they need. If Brady can find the perfect fit look for Brady to play for another team before he retires. If he does get lucky enough to get to another Super Bowl I think that will be the last ride for him. He wants to go out on top and he will chase that dream until he cannot play any longer.

What Team Gives Baker Mayfield The Best Chance For Success

 The one thing we can say about Baker Mayfield is you either love him to death or hate him just as much. We do know Mayfield will not be the quarterback for the Cleveland Browns this upcoming season. Where could Baker Mayfield land? Is he the next Johnny Manziel or another first round bust. Let's look at some of these questions and how we see it here at Baseball Blogging Network.

One of the things I've been hearing which is so wrong and that is Baker Mayfield is a bust. He is far from that and here is why. He had some good seasons in Cleveland. They were not his best, but they were not terrible either. People have to consider many factors when evaluating Baker Mayfield as a quarterback. Yes when he was healthy he was a Top10 quarterback in the NFL. Unhealthy and he was like most quarterbacks he was not very good.

Where could Baker Mayfield take his next snaps at? Some people are hinting once cut he could be with the Detroit Lions or the Pittsburgh Steelers. Both teams have shown interest in him and either one probably could work for Mayfield. If Mayfield wants to see his full potential he may need to be a backup for a year or two. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers would be a perfect landing spot for him and here is why.

Mayfield would be able to learn from Tom Brady for one or two seasons. The experience he would get from this is invaluable to him becoming a better player. The Buccaneers have the team in place that could plug Mayfield in and he could be an instant success. Offensively, the Buccaneers have talented receivers with one of the best offensive lines. They have a great offensive coaches with Byron Leftwich leading the way.

Baker Mayfield has to check his ego at the door and become a team player, but once he does once Tom Brady retires the keys to the team will be his. The question is can Baker Mayfield sit and learn from the master.

Brian Flores Hopes To Make Changes IN NFL Hiring Process

 Brian Flores was the head football coach of the Miami Dolphins before being fired from the team. In the weeks that followed many things have been said about Flores some we just do not know if they are true or not. Players really have not supported him or took shots at him so it’s anyone’s guess. This week Brian Flores filed a lawsuit against some teams for their hiring practices as he has yet to receive a job offer since he has been fired. Does his lawsuit have merit? In this article we will take a look at it and why it could be successful and also a failure as well.

The Rooney Rule is what the lawsuit will be based on. What the Rooney states is you must give minority candidates job interviews and be sincere in hiring them, when you bring them in for the interview. The NFL put this in place to try and get more minority hires as head coaches. Thus far the rule really hasn’t help but a mouthpiece that says we followed the rule when someone is hired. Some of the lawsuit is based on the Rooney Rule and this will be interesting how this plays out in the courtroom.

Should Brian Flores have a job by now? The honest answer is yes. Everywhere he has coached he has made his teams competitive and Miami was no exception. Many people have said Brian Flores is tough to work with and that could be true. Most winning head coaches at times can be tough to work with no matter whom it happens to be.

Brian Flores has several job interviews and every time the owners said great interview, but he was never offered a job. Is he qualified? Brian Flores is more then qualified for any job in the NFL. The Rooney Rule was suppose to fix the problem, but in reality I think it has did the opposite. Teams are less inclined to hire coaches of minority as they feel they are being forced to hire a certain individual.

Owners for the most part are from old school hiring and do not like to change what they do. Most coaches in the NFL these days are rehires from other teams that lost their jobs or did well in other places. Most minority coaches are overlooked because it’s the mentality that these owners have right now. It’s not fair, but it is how it works. Maybe a lawsuit is something that needs to be the catalyst to get teams and the NFL to change things.

It seems one thing that has happen with this lawsuit already is other coaches have come forward to tell their stories as well, Brian Flores is not the only coach who has had this problem. Bringing this out in the open is exactly what we need to do to make the NFL understand there is a problem in the hiring process.

Brian Flores is giving up a lot to go forward with this lawsuit. He may never coach in the NFL again. This is bigger then a job this is about doing the right thing and changing the NFL hiring process. There are so many great minority prospects there is no excuse for not having more minority hiring then we get every year. At worst, maybe this will shed light on the practicing of keeping good guys who are qualified with out a coaching opportunity. The other thing this has also showed us is the art of tanking can be a viable option for teams. Tanking should never be part of the NFL and teams should always strive to win. Its cheating the fans who pay hard earned money to see teams. Let’s hope The NFL makes some changes and this lawsuit makes some changes in the process.

Will Hue Jackson Get Another Year In Cleveland?

Hue Jackson is hoping this isn't the end of the road for him, but with a record of 1-26 as Browns coach, many think he will be let go. I tell people that is not a done deal just yet. We are talking about the Cleveland Browns and they are always dysfunctional, so you never know what could happen with Hue Jackson. Let's look at why Hue Jackson could be given one more year to right the ship.

The amazing part with a record of 1-26 almost half of the fans of the Browns want him back as their coach. Now I really don't think ownership looks at polls, but it is a telling stat. Jackson still has a following in Cleveland no matter the record. Another important thing that Hue Jackson has going for him his team has not quit on him. Most teams that are 1-26 usually quit, but his team has not. You can credit him or his players, but that's a very important thing he has going for himself.

Do I think Hue Jackson deserves another year? That's tough to answer, but you have to ask yourself is there someone better to do the job. I think front office changes are needed first. Getting football people in the decision making would make a big difference. I mean when you can't get a trade completed you have some serious issues. I expect Hue Jackson to be back another year, but the leash will be very short and he will need to win quickly n 2018.

Would The 49ers Made It A Closer Super Bowl Game?

Now that the Super Bowl is over we. An reflect on many different things.  Yes, the Seattle Seahawks are the best right now in the NFL and there is no doubt in that thinking at all. They dismantled the Broncos with ease. The real question is should we change the format in choosing the best in the NFL.

The San Francisco 49ers without a doubt are the second best team in the NFL. They also got a win against Seattle and maybe should have been playing for the championships. One thing they need to change is AFC vs NFC. Right now the two best teams in the NFL are in the NFC. Having Seattle play San Francisco in the Super Bowl would have been a much better game. Maybe the NFL should consider adopting this change.

NFL Fumbles Away The Hall Of Fame Game

The NFL has canceled the Hall Of Fame game that was slated for Aug. 7 pitting the St. Louis Rams and the Chicago Bears. This will mark the first time in 45 years that this annual game will be missed. It's a financial blow to the Hall of Fame, which could lose about $1.5 million out of its $20 million annual operating budget. And it's a big loss for the community, which gets more than just a financial boost from the event. The community rallies around this event and the enshirement will take place on Aug. 6th, but the football game will be missing.

In my opinion the NFL fumbled this away and should be ashamed of itself for doing it to the loyal fans in Canton, Ohio. If the NFL wanted to play the game they could have even if it would have only been a lite scrimmage. The City of Canton and people deserve lot better from the NFL. They should hang their head in shame that they let this game get away from them. Canton has always been their for the NFL, but now the NFL tells Canton too bad.
