Quarterback Factory

@Anth_Chatburn Chicago was bad and tried to retool with most of their old core still their, realized it was a terrible idea and eventually tore it all down. Trading for Seth Jones was a Chuck Fletcher retool patchwork type of move. Except Chicago recognized it quickly and actually tore it down

It would certainly be nice to luck into a Cebrinini or a Schaefer but that all takes time - it's not a straight line no matter how folks try to crop it. How come no one mentions CHI anymore? 2018: 8 2019: 3 2020: 17 (Covid bubble!) 2021: 12 (Traded for Seth Jones) 2022: 7 and 13 (and 25) 2023: 1 (and 19) 2024: 2 (and 18 and 27) 2025: 3 (and 25 and 27) It certainly seems like Brier has tried to gather picks since starting 3 years ago like many of these teams that started before PHI...just weird how some folks dont mind giving Briere the handicap instead of acknowledging the head starts of others.

Alex is again engaging in Frost-math to gin up your misery looks. Why are we stopping at last 5 years? ANA has selected in the top 10 for 7 consecutive years. They drafted both Drysdale and Zegras outside the selected window. Did that not benefit them? Certainly looks like Verbeek inherited the better situation - but that context wont dog whistle.

@avappleyard @NHLFlyers Mouth breathers will come out and act like this somehow isn’t like the worst case scenario. One of the worst collective records with very little to show for it overall. Some very good players but nowhere near enough for how uncompetitive they’ve been and brand as a “rebuild”

SJS CHI ANA only 3 franchises this decade with clearly worse records than @NHLFlyers however all 3? Multiple top 3 picks+ 4+ top 10 picks over last 5 drafts. San Jose (1, 2, 4, 7) Chicago (1, 2, 3, 7) Anaheim (2, 3, 10, 10) #Flyers top 10 picks over that time? 5, 6, 7 #NHL

@DrunkGritty00 Remember when we said that exact same stuff about getting experience in meaningful games at the end of the 2024 season and it meant absolutely nothing and we got Jett Luchanko as a result

CBJ is a good team. Wish we were more consistent after a great 1st, but there’s still work to be done with this squad. Playoff chances are low but this experience is important. The losers will start crying on social media again, but not me. I’ll ride or die as I always have

How many points did Matvei have or can we only bitch about Glendening and Juulsen types.. Must win game and the top guys came up short, but the Xcho chamber is used to making excuse for that type of performance.

@charlieo_conn Do you think Keith Jones answer on WIP earlier about free agency essentially being a wash is concerning at all? How much of their plan actually relied on acquiring stars in FA? They’re obviously going to downplay it but they’ve mentioned it multiple times that it was unexpected

Interesting. He's had a tough year in Europe. When I spoke with Brent Flahr for my prospect series, he noted they planned to get him over here after his season ended, and then make a decision from there. Guess they could still loan him back next season if they wanted.

@officialrj20 @Joshy4kOT @sTaTTicxx It’s hilarious that if you try to criticize the game for being campy or having terrible maps or gameplay design they’ll just respond with either skill issue or saying that camping has always been a thing. Game was literally designed to be campy and for bad players

@Joshy4kOT @sTaTTicxx The devs themself said the game was made for campers & bad players in terms of map design & gameplay philosophy. Showing cracked gameplay with high FOV to convince people that’s how mw2019 played is just funny😂we all remember the game bro it’s not a fun for actual good players.

Am i seeing MW2019 on my TL? i am posting a rant in the comments for anybody who wants to read an essay on why this game was a banger.

@KonariArt @DrissWorstt @Luigi11Ism @Your0perator @shivvnp @Dexerto One game was literally designed by the developers to cater to campers and new players. The other one had elements that supported all styles of play, not just camping. In BO2 you could camp if you wanted to, but you were not at an inherited disadvantage if you wanted to rush

@DrissWorstt @Luigi11Ism @Cancedog1 @Your0perator @shivvnp @Dexerto Tbf, one emp grenade cleared a building of all of that

COD: Modern Warfare 2019 had more players on Steam than Black Ops 7 and Warzone after going on sale for $6

@ilEvaihcaM @Fubzy_ @imac234_ You enjoy crouch walking and camping behind doors with claymores and 725s with your audio cranked to max volume?

@Fubzy_ @imac234_ I listed the bad bro🤷🏽‍♂️ It goes without saying that I enjoyed EVERY other aspect of the game.

COVID legit made this game a classic COD in people’s eyes because everyone’s old buddies dropped back in since no one could go outside.

@tdawgsmitty Why do you constantly complain about cracked out movement and then praise the game that started it and trained cod players to expect insane movement in every following game

For those who are saying mw19 started the downfall of call of duty. You don’t think these 3 games back to back to back had anything to do with it??

@diswho24 @RushMamba @InfinityWard No way you just said AW was full of campers did you ever even play the game?? It’s the most chaotic and fast cods we’ve had atleast during the active lifecycle of the game. Never once was camping an issue on that game

@RushMamba @InfinityWard Yes and again camping has always been a thing. OG mw3, BO1, BO2, Ghosts, and even AW were heavy with campers because of how big the maps were. You playing since 2008 means nothing to me lil bro, and no one got butt hurt but you for me calling you out on that🤷🏽‍♂️ Simple

MW2019 players pulling up heavy… 2XP all weekend on MW2019. See you in the lobby. 🫡

@proazm_ @0Stark24 You can’t just hide a claymore behind a door in mw2. The og mw2 had its own issues but how do you look at this gameplay and think it’s fun or engaging

@0Stark24 Wow you died to how people would play mw2. Claymores and camping.

First MW2019 match in over 6 years and it went exactly how I expected

@Luigi11Ism @Your0perator @shivvnp @Dexerto Nobody that actually played prime BO2 thinks that the camping was anything resembling the atrocity that was MW19 gameplay

@Your0perator @shivvnp @Dexerto BRO AS IF PEOPLE DID NOT CAMP HARD ON BO2 WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT 💀💀💀💀

@Spargsy @NotOrionLMAO It basically kicked most of the og fans to the curb and brought in a new generation of fans. So most of the old fans hate it and the new fans love it. But at this point in the franchise most of the current players are new fans never played the og games and what made them popular

@NotOrionLMAO The amount of MW19 slander i see nowadays is insane. It’s like people forgot that game kinda saved the franchise.

MW19 only sucks for people who didn’t understand what made the original COD games good in the first place.

@theMFingIcon @Anth_Chatburn Barkov has been one of the most consistent 2 ways players in the league since he’s been there. Multiple years with over a point per game. Multiple selke awards. Seriously question your hockey knowledge if you’re asking these questions. No Nesbitt is not comparable and is not a 1C

@Cancedog1 @Anth_Chatburn Selke winners usually aren’t exactly the highest skilled Cs in hockey. So let me ask this. Why is it “barkov is 1 of the best C in the league” but let’s give up on Nesbitt already when they’re honestly similar. Do you believe Nesbitt can be a 1C?

Hi Mike, when should they have started losing and how would they catch up to the teams at the bottom of the league? Teams that are 20, 21, 22 in the league are currently vying for playoff spots out West and we’re not counting Nashville.

@theMFingIcon @Anth_Chatburn Alexander Barkov is one of the best centers in the league. Back to back selke winner. We are nowhere near contending with Dvorak as our best center. He’s decent but he’s like a 3C, maybe a 2C on most contending teams. Cates is pretty much just a really good 4C

@Cancedog1 @Anth_Chatburn That’s the thing tho. We have good C. Cates is solid. Dvorak is decent. I’m a huge fan of Nesbitt. Luchanko I also think can be a middle 6. With the loaded wing we have I don’t think we’re as far away as people think

@theMFingIcon @Anth_Chatburn My literal whole point was that it’s more likely to win with great centers than it is with great wingers. I believe they’re building the team from the outside in and it’s significant harder to get the pieces they lack. Not expecting a perfect team, not sure where that came from

@Cancedog1 @Anth_Chatburn There is not 1 team in hockey right now who has all 4 of elite wings, a 1C, a 1D and a true 1G. Colorado is close but they’re just decent on the wings. No nhl roster is perfect. Might wanna get that through you head and start deciding what’s important and what we have to take

@Anth_Chatburn @DR3Wheels People don’t make these types of pictures for no reason

@Cancedog1 @DR3Wheels You're oblivious.

You dont keep old players when you're rebuilding! The 2009 Pittsburgh Penguins

@Anth_Chatburn @DR3Wheels My lord it’s not even worth arguing with you after saying that Penguins comp. Considering what Pens fans have been rewarded with vs what Flyers fans have. What “good times” have flyers fans experienced. Nobody is praising anything from the last decade

Flyers fans look at prospect cards nad get sads without looking at the person producing them or what other cards have shown. Flyers fans simultaneously call the last decade plus of hockey awful but also sing the praises of countless pieces of those teams. Flyers fans have no patience and are sadly becoming Penguins fans, aware only in good times.

@Anth_Chatburn @DR3Wheels Flyers fans are not oblivious to the reality of the ceiling of those players based on their current development. Flyers fans are not okay with being sold a “rebuild” and then being told to be patient for a player like Luchanko or Nesbitt who likely cap at a 2C if all goes right

@Cancedog1 @DR3Wheels Flyers fans dont have the patience to see Luchanko or Nesbitt or Bonk through... ...but claim they have the patience for a "real" rebuild, which if you're not getting Crosby is a decade plus process with fuck ups along the way - IF - you're one of the few teams that wins the cup

@DR3Wheels @Anth_Chatburn He just cherry picks scenarios to form narratives that flyers fans are unreasonable and crazy for wanting a real rebuild

@Anth_Chatburn when you have three generational players drafted and another second overall pick you can build around that would be great! The Flyers highest pick since 2020 was fifth overall and that dude is currently on the Ducks, this is a terribly disingenous argument from you man lmfao
