Unpopular Opinion - Brian Flores is boring.
112 replies
Fameforum_veteranOPThis is the least exciting month of the entire year in the NFL, so let's spice things up with some salaciously unpopular opinions, starting with the least exciting coach in the league: Brian Flores!
Listening to Brian Flores speak to the media is so mind numbing that I could fall asleep the second he opens his mouth. He goes far beyond the normal pre-draft trope. He needlessly rambles on during interviews, repeats himself often, and rarely ever seems to have a point to make. I'd honestly rather watch paint dry than listen to this man speak. For the life of me I can't quantify how this man aced an interview...any interview...ever.
It's possible Ross fell asleep during the Flores interview and was too embarrassed to admit it, so he just hired the guy instead.
Essentially, he's Bill Belichick when the microphone is on. Hopefully he's also Bill Belichick when the microphone is off. Jokes aside, I still think he's going to be an awesome coach.
Now, hit me with your unpopular opinions. You think we should trade for Josh Allen? Perfect. You secretly hate Cameron Wake? Now's your chance. You think Stephen Ross is really an alien? Well, duh...but this is your opportunity to get it all out there!
Unlucky 13subscriberI think that he's boring on purpose, like his former boss Darth Hoodie. Now, that's not what I want our head coach to be. I'd like him to show some personality and humanity, and be a little interesting. But it is what it is.

That might soon be the norm.

Ratings are not showing this.
NFL still one if the highest rated TV program.
The loss in ratings is relative to ratings drop overall
Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

Galantforum_veteranThe amount of time invested in attempting to predict drafts and passion displayed defending those opinions is crazy to me.
If it's just fun, then fine, but this stuff gets so serious and people get so offended/engaged, in things that may never be - likely won't be - that it reaches the ridiculous.
I may as well study and debate the way my mail falls to the ground through my letterbox - the physics of each letter type, the influence of the mailman, the humidity...
Honestly, this time of year should be where everyone goes off and does other things while waiting for the actual football (pre) season to start.
So much time and life gets wasted during this period.

God sent into the world a unique person – neither a philosopher nor a general, important though they are, but a Saviour, with the power to forgive... It is my prayer that on this Christmas day we might all find room in our lives for the message of the angels and for the love of God through Christ our Lord." (Christmas message, 2011)

The opinion that the NFL sucks is becoming much more popular, regardless of TV ratings data.
Dol-Fan Dupreeforum_veteranMock Drafts are a huge waste of time. The combine is nerdier than San Diego comic con and is better to be read after than actually watched.
Draft grades are even more stupid as Oscars awards. Both need actual time before we know if the thing is good.

It's just a silly thread. Have some fun with it instead.
Galantforum_veteranIt's hard to see the Jets as rivals and hate them, they've just not been good enough for that.

How do you think Jets fans see us?

I don't think about Jets fans at all.

Now, hit me with your unpopular opinions.
I really wish that we didn't play in aqua. It's such a girlie colour. It's a pastel for crying out loud not a primary colour. Something akin to a Hurricanes green would be much better. In fact ANY shade of green would look better on a cap or a sweatshirt or a hoody. Even brown looks better than bloody aqua!
Who the flipperty fook started an american football team and then decided that its main colour would be aqua? I mean like...WHAT???
JR - "No, for we shall not play in a war-like blood red, or a steadfast and true blue, or even a demonic and scary black.... I decree that we will play in............ aqua!"
DT - "Ha ha ha ha, for a minute there, I thought you said 'aqua', ha ha... Aqua...chortle... can you imagine it..... Joe, why are you looking at me like that? No! You are not serious..!!?!?"
I suppose I should be grateful that in 1966 there was no such thing as a Dulux Colour Chart or we could've ended up with a nice Misty Buff or an Autumn Sunrise or something? But aqua? Sheeesh!
There, said it. :(

If it makes you feel any better, my 9 year old daughter thinks aqua is "like totally fab".

In January of 1985, as an 8 year old growing up in west Virginia, I chose to root for the Dolphins in the super bowl, because:
A) aqua was/is my favorite color and
B) dolphins were my favorite animal
So it was a really easy choice based on multiple coincidences, lol. And here I am, 34 years later, a diehard devotee.
I will say that I dont like the current pastel shade. But the darker color on the throwbacks is absolutely perfect.

Coincidentally that's also how I pick my March madness brackets.

Who likes aqua?
People who grow up staring out over the sea.
If they did change it I'd be up for a darkish grey.

Another unpopular opinion of mine is the NFL has too many dark color uniforms and most of them are boring.
Keeping boring designs for tradition sake is asinine
Holland is a huge upgrade over McCain

Doing anything for tradition is asinine. But keeping dark jerseys because they're subjectively better is cool! :up:
