TIM AND CODY TIM AND CODY TIM AND CODY 🥺🥺🥺
DAD TIM TIME DAD TIM TIME. these two are so good istg
enjoy
When Tim was awoken by someone knocking on his door his first thought was ‘’You’re kidding me.’’. He hadn’t gotten a decent sleep in almost a week, and most days found himself running off of only four or five hours. Not even melatonin was helping. He groaned into his pillow and rolled over. 
‘’Mrrroooowwww…’’ 
Tim sighed and looked down. Laying by his arm was a skinny grey cat that gave him an irritated look. Probably because Tim had woken it. He rolled his eyes. ‘’Well excuse me, Kralie.’’ he muttered. He sat up, being sure not to disturb his other cat, Brian, who was curled up near his feet, sleeping peacefully. He carefully climbed off his bed and sighed, running a hand through his messy black hair. It had to be late, it was pitch black in the room. The only light came from the tank where his pet frog lived. He could barely just spot the outline of his third cat Jay sitting and staring at a wall for no apparent reason. He did that a lot. Tim had given up trying to figure out why. He strode across the room and over to his door. He pulled it open and looked up.
‘’Mmmh?’’ he grunted as he blinked at the person in front of his door. In the darkness he could barely recognise the skinny frame and fluffy hair of Cody. The slightly taller boy fiddled with his hands nervously.
‘’Sorry for waking you.’’ he whispered. Tim shook his head.
‘’I wasn’t sleeping.’’ he lied. ‘’What’s wrong, kid?’’
‘’I…’’ Cody shrugged. ‘’I couldn’t sleep. And I-I kept thinking about stuff…’’ he murmured. He glanced up from the floor, looking at Tim anxiously. 
‘’You need a distraction?’’ the older man asked. Cody gave a slight nod. Tim sighed gently. ‘’Alright. Lemme get dressed then.’’ he murmured. He heard Cody mumble out a feeble ‘thanks’ as he closed the door. Tim put on some comfy sweatpants and an old warm fleece. He walked back to the door and opened it. Cody perked up a bit, looking at him. Tim stepped out of the room and put his hands in his pockets. ‘’C’mon kid. I feel like going out.’’
Cody chuckled a bit. ‘’I was hoping you’d say that…’’ he murmured as he followed Tim upstairs. ‘’I looked out my window earlier. It’s a really nice night.’’ 
‘’Yeah?’’ Tim looked over his shoulder at Cody, smiling a bit. ‘’Good.’’ 
The two of them crept through the living room, careful not to alert Slender upstairs. They unlocked the front door and stepped out into the night. They walked over to Tim’s car. It was an old, busted up thing he’d been driving since 2005, and he refused to replace it. That car had been through hell and back right along with Tim, and every time it broke down Tim would just fix it himself. Usually with help from Cody and anybody else that thought they could lend a hand. Tim climbed into the driver’s seat and watched Cody climb into the seat next to him. The car smelled musty and there were some miscellaneous stains on the seats and dashboard. Tim turned the ignition on and the dashcam hanging from the mirror came to life. He drummed his hands on the steering wheel and looked at Cody.
‘’So, where to?’’ he asked. Cody shrugged. ‘’You hungry?’’
Cody smiled a bit and nodded. ‘’Yeah, actually.’’
‘’What’re we eating?’’ Tim asked as he drove the car towards and along the dirt path that’d lead out of the forest. 
‘’Hm…’’ Cody frowned, running his tongue over his teeth as he thought. ‘’Baskin robbins sounds really good...but taco bell does too-’’
‘’Dinner and dessert.’’ Tim replied. He glanced at Cody and smiled. Cody grinned. He was being spoiled tonight. 
------
‘’So Brian looks the guy dead in the eyes and says ‘that’s a serious problem. Go to a doctor or you’ll die in like three days’.’’
‘’PFFFFT- SO WHAT HAPPENED TO THE GUY???’’
‘’Well- I dunno, I never saw him again.’’ Tim grinned to himself as he balled up the wrapper from his taco. ‘’Maybe he did die, I dunno.’’ he shrugged.
‘’You think Brian killed him?’’
‘’Probably.’’ Tim nodded and laughed quietly. ‘’I swear, there was nothing behind Brian’s eyes. It wouldn’t surprise me if he was a wanted murderer or some shit.’’
Cody tilted his head. ‘’Is that why you guys were friends?’’
Tim snorted. ‘’Yeah. Except I can hide the fact that I’m secretly a feral guy who runs around the woods in a mask. With Brian you kinda knew.’’ Cody snickered. He loved hearing Tim’s stories. He always found a way to make it funny, and he’d had more than his fair share of bizarre experiences. ‘’Here, kid, gimme your trash. I’ll throw it out for ya.’’
Cody passed over the empty taco bell bag and watched Tim stuff his own trash into it. He reached over and unlocked the door, stepping out. ‘’C’mon, we’ll walk up to get the ice cream.’’
Cody climbed out of the car and followed Tim across the parking lot. He tilted his head. ‘’You sure you wanna walk through the cold?’’ he asked, mostly just to start conversation.
‘’Yeah? Gotta burn it off somehow,’’ Tim replied as he put the empty bag in the bin beside the entrance to the taco bell. ‘’Some of us have slow metabolisms, twig boy.’’ he shot Cody a grin. They both knew that wasn’t the real reason. Tim didn’t desperately need to lose weight, he just wanted to spend more time with Cody. He wanted to savor the night together, even if it was chilly.
Conversation came easy to them. Cody was impulsive, and liked to say whatever first came to mind. Tim always had a sarcastic comment to respond with. Cody liked that about Tim. He never judged. He always took Cody's ideas, as far-fetched as they were, seriously. He was supportive. 
"Hey kid," Tim suddenly spoke up. Cody looked at him. "...going out with you like this- it means a lot." He smiled at him. Cody softened.
"...me too." He murmured. He wasn't good with emotions. At all. "Uh- like- you're always...nice to me and I- appreciate that." He fiddled with his hands. "...yeah."
Tim laughed gently. "I appreciate you too kid." He murmured. "Honestly. You're great." He paused for a moment, debating what to say next, but Cody cut him off.
"You're like a dad to me." He blurted. Tim blinked in surprise. Cody slapped his hands over his mouth, staring at him with wide eyes. 
It was silent for a moment. Then Tim smiled. Then grinned, then began laughing quietly. His laughs became louder and Cody glanced away in embarrassment. 
"Pffft-! Kid-!"
"Shut up!" Cody yelped back. Tim quieted his laughs and smiled. 
"I'm not laughing at you, Cody," He murmured. Cody muttered something to himself. "...why do you think I call you 'kid' so often?" He asked gently. Cody looked up. Tim shrugged a bit. "Never saw myself as- y'know- a dad, but fuck if I don't care about you like one."
Cody stared at him. Then a bright grin curled up his face. Before Tim could do anything, Cody tackled him into a tight hug. The two stumbled back and Tim grunted from the impact. He'd had worse of course, and he wasn't going to push Cody off. Not at a time like this. He laughed gently and curled his arms around Cody, squeezing the skinny boy tight. 
"T-Ti-" Cody grunted. "Dad-" 
"Hm?"
"You're...sq-squeezing the air...outta me…"
Tim suddenly released him and looked up in surprise. He smiled a bit. "Sorry kid." He murmured. Cody grunted.
"It's fine." He mumbled. "I think my ribs are still intact. We're good."

The Patriots need a Tom Brady replacement. Here are their QB options
Tumblr media
Photo by Brett Carlsen/Getty Images
Tom Brady isn’t coming back. Who’s the next man up?
Tom Brady will not be a Patriot anymore. For the first time since Brady officially took the reins from Drew Bledsoe in 2002, New England has a quarterback dilemma to solve.
Brady’s departure casts a fog of uncertainty over the Patriots’ future. It reduces the team’s current QB room to one player with four career NFL passes to his name (Jarrett Stidham) and another who was discarded by the passing-needy Browns and Jaguars over the last three years (Cody Kessler).
New England could roll the dice with a Stidham/Kessler one-two punch and hope the influence of head coach Bill Belichick and offensive coordinator Josh McDaniels works miracles once more. It seems much more likely, however, the Pats are in the market for at least one new quarterback this spring.
Let’s talk more about that. There are three categories from which New England’s 2020 starter could arrive. We’ll begin with the two guys who are already there.
The in-house options
New England currently has two quarterbacks under contract. Stidham was a fourth-round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft. Kessler was signed as a free agent after bouncing from the Browns to the Jaguars to the Eagles from 2016 to 2019.
Stidham, unsurprisingly, has the greater upside of the two — even if no one’s quite sure what his ceiling is. The former Baylor and Auburn QB took a step back between his sophomore and junior seasons, dulling his shine enough for the Pats to pick him up on Day 3. While he earned high marks for his solid preseason play, the brief glimpses we saw of him in the regular season painted him to be every bit an overwhelmed rookie. He threw four passes for 14 yards and one pick-six.
Elevating him to a starting role would be quite a swing. Stidham was very good in exhibition play, completing more than 67 percent of his passes, averaging more than eight yards per attempt, and compiling a passer rating of 102.3. Those performances came against backup defenses loaded with players bound for practice squads and the XFL. He’s still an unknown commodity, even if he’s made some nice throws in the past.
Kessler is a passable backup quarterback who was, at one point, the brightest spot on a 1-15 Browns roster. He’s a low-wattage passer whose biggest strength is his ability to limit turnovers. His 1.4 percent career interception rate is roughly on par with what Brady brought to the Patriots the last three seasons.
That’s about it for Kessler, though. Surround him with good targets and he might surprise you — but as Brady’s departure and 2019 struggles showed, the Pats don’t have many of those.
The available veterans
The good news for the Patriots is there’s a rich seam of veteran QB talent waiting to be mined this offseason. The bad news is the team may have missed the chance to jump at some free agents who reached agreements during the league’s legal tampering period.
Marcus Mariota is off the market after signing with the Raiders. Ryan Tannehill returned to the Titans on a $121 million deal. Case Keenum probably wasn’t high on New England’s wish list, but he just took $18 million over three years to reunite with Kevin Stefanski in Cleveland. Teddy Bridgewater appears destined for Carolina. Drew Brees and Dak Prescott were never leaving New Orleans and Dallas, respectively. Philip Rivers, if trends hold, is going to be a Colt.
Waiting isn’t necessarily a bad thing for the Pats, however. There are several viable starting options whose price will decrease as the offseason wears on. The money saved could go into reinforcing the team’s other weaknesses, which includes upgrading the list of targets for whomever is slinging passes in New England next season.
Which quarterbacks fit the bill? Coincidentally, the news of Brady’s departure gave way to the Panthers’ declaration they’d allow Cam Newton to seek a trade roughly two hours later. Whether because of timing or just general fit, those two parties will be linked together throughout this process.
Andy Dalton’s name has come up in trade rumors, too. He probably wouldn’t cost much to acquire after losing his starting job with the Bengals, but his $17+ million cap hit would be a tough for New England. If Dalton renegotiates or is released, Belichick could hope his inherent Andy Dalton-ness was more a function of the Bengals’ dysfunction than any fatal quarterbacking flaw.
Jameis Winston is effectively the opposite of the risk-averse, accurate passing for which the Pats are looking. Still, if Brady heads to Tampa, Winston would be a man without a country.
Nick Foles and Joe Flacco would both be available via trade, but the idea Belichick would be interested in overpaying either is far-fetched. Josh Rosen, stuck in hopeless situations in Arizona and Miami to kick off his NFL career, could be an interesting developmental piece as well.
The 2020 NFL Draft candidates
Belichick proved he has an eye for developing young quarterbacks. Since 2005, he’s either drafted or signed as an undrafted free agent four different QBs who have gone on to be full-season starters in the NFL: Matt Cassel, Brian Hoyer, Jimmy Garoppolo, and Jacoby Brissett. There have been misses in that crop as well — neither Ryan Mallett nor Kevin O’Connell lived up to their third-round billing — but the Patriots’ success rate for finding starting passers has been impressive.
The Patriots don’t make a selection until the 23rd pick of the first round. While that’s a lower starting point than most years, it won’t get them close to the upper crust of quarterback talent in this year’s draft. The Bengals, Dolphins, Chargers, Jaguars, and Buccaneers are all in the market for QB help, and those are only the teams slated to pick in the top 15.
That means New England is likely looking at a cast of talent from this year’s “flawed, but intriguing” second tier. If the team decides to take a first-round quarterback for the first time since Drew Bledsoe was 1993’s top overall pick, that could mean someone like Utah State’s Jordan Love or Washington’s Jacob Eason.
Though SB Nation draft expert Dan Kadar sees both as second-round talent, New England may have to act early to grab one of them, especially after dealing their second-round pick to the Falcons for Mohamed Sanu. The Patriots could also use their cache of compensatory picks to move up on Day 2 to target someone like Georgia’s Jake Fromm or Oklahoma star Jalen Hurts.
Since this year’s pre-draft process will rely on hours and hours of college film breakdown rather than in-person workouts, it’s tough to tell exactly what form the draft route of this year’s QBs will take. The odds seem good the Patriots would invest at least one selection in a quarterback, however.
The Patriots are entering unfamiliar waters following Brady’s exit. The six-time Super Bowl winner had missed only 19 starts over the past 18 years, and the consistency he brought behind center helped Belichick build a dynasty.
That era is over, and the first step toward building New England’s future is finding his successor. That might mean someone who’s already on the roster. It might mean a veteran passer who fell out of favor elsewhere. It could be a rookie who caught the team’s eye.
All we know now is it won’t be Brady.

Ranking the best 49ers QBs since Super Bowl XXIX
Tumblr media
The 49ers have had 21 different starting QBs since Super Bowl XXIX.
From Jim Druckenmiller to Steve Young (duh).
For a stretch from the early 1980s to the early 2000s, 49ers starting quarterbacks could do no wrong. Joe Montana was the headliner of a group that ranged from above-average (Elvis Grbac, Jeff Garcia) to legendary (Steve Young).
But Young’s six-touchdown Super Bowl performance following the 1994 season began a slow slide from NFL royalty to a spot among the league’s also-rans. since 1995, 21 different starters have come and gone. None were able to stem what’s become a 25-year Lombardi Trophy drought — though Colin Kaepernick nearly rode a Superdome blackout to a title in 2013. Jimmy Garoppolo can end that streak by leading the club to victory in Super Bowl 54.
Who among them wore the crimson and gold the proudest? That’s what I set out to find by ranking every quarterback who has started at least one game for San Francisco since that Super Bowl win.
These rankings, which are entirely subjective, are based on overall impact, team success, and individual success. And if you’re wondering how this all broke down for the Chiefs, who wound up employing a whole bunch of former 49ers quarterbacks, you can see that ranking here.
With that said, here’s San Francisco’s post-Super Bowl XXIX quarterback rankings, split into seven different categories.
Jim f-ing Druckenmlller
21. Jim Druckenmiller, 1997 (0-1 as a starter)
Druckenmiller wasn’t supposed to be a backup; he was the 26th pick of the 1997 NFL Draft. He played in just six career NFL games and made one start thanks to a minor injury to entrenched quarterback Young.
In Week 2 of his rookie season, he needed 28 passes to throw for 102 yards. He completed just 35.7 percent of those attempts and threw three interceptions against one touchdown pass to somehow still beat the Rams, 15-12. He was replaced by a returning Young the very next week and would throw 24 more passes in his NFL career. Druckenmiller was out of the league by the year 2000, though he’d go on to a starring role with the XFL’s Memphis Maniax in 2001.
The backups it’s very difficult to care about
20. Cody Pickett, 2005 (0-2) 19. Steve Stenstrom, 1999 (0-3) 18. Trent Dilfer, 2007 (1-5) 17. Ken Dorsey, 2004-05 (2-8) 16. Chris Weinke, 2007 (0-1) 15. Brian Hoyer, 2017 (0-6) 14. Troy Smith, 2010 (3-3) 13. Ty Detmer, 1998 (1-0)
Pickett was, statistically, the worst 49ers QB since Bev Wallace in 1949. He made two starts for the Niners in 2005, including an epic 1-of-13, one-interception performance in a loss to the Bears. But he was also taken in the seventh round of the 2004 NFL Draft and carried zero expectations with his name, so he’s still better than Druckenmiller.
Stenstrom started three games for the Niners, who scored 16 total points under his guidance. Dilfer was brought in to mentor top overall pick Alex Smith in 2006, then forced into action for a bad Niners team at age 35 and compiled a 7:12 TD:INT ratio in just seven appearances.
Dorsey threw for significantly fewer yards per attempt as a pro (5.1) than Raheem Mostert has rushed for as a 49er (6.0). Hoyer was signed in 2017 to warm the throne for the team’s quarterback of the future ...who initially turned out to be C.J. Beathard. The former Patriot went 0-6 before getting replaced by the third-round rookie from Iowa, which went about as well as you’d expect. The good news was this convinced general manager John Lynch his situation was hopeless enough to necessitate a midseason trade for Jimmy Garoppolo.
Detmer and Weinke were former Heisman Trophy winners who were in their 30s and firmly in the “journeyman backup” phases of their careers. Fellow Heisman speech-giver Smith was only 26 when he came to San Francisco for one final NFL season, but he belongs right in that Weinke-Detmer range — at least spiritually.
The stopgap solutions who didn’t work out
12. J.T. O’Sullivan, 2008 (2-6) 11. C.J. Beathard, 2017-18 (1-9) 10. Blaine Gabbert, 2015-16 (4-9) 9. Tim Rattay, 2003-05 (4-12) 8. Shaun Hill, 2007-09 (10-6)
Dilfer’s retirement and Alex Smith’s season-ending shoulder injury meant the Niners played most of the 2008 season with O’Sullivan, Hill, and Jamie Martin on their QB depth chart. O’Sullivan, signed away from the Lions — which is never a good sign — started the first eight games of his career that fall after beating out a then-healthy Smith for the starting role in the preseason. He threw for 510 yards and three touchdowns in Weeks 2 and 3 to get San Francisco out to a 2-1 start, then quickly melted into a pile of guts as if the Ark of the Covenant had been opened in front of him.
Hill stepped into the smoking crater O’Sullivan left behind and overdelivered, leading the Niners to a 5-3 finish and 7-9 record that matched the team’s high-water mark since 2003. He’d finish his San Francisco career with a non-losing record in all three of the seasons he spent with the team, which is a borderline miracle given the state of the franchise.
Beathard was a flier third-round pick who threw for 139 yards per game in college. He’s been slightly more prolific as a pro, but is also 1-9 as a starter and failed to show enough to convince Niners brass not to trade for Garoppolo (though he can still earn a Super Bowl ring as a member of the 2019 squad). Gabbert redeemed some of his value after leaving Jacksonville as a first-round bust, though was never more than forgettable in three years and 13 starts as a 49er.
Rattay went from seventh-round pick to starter after the team released Jeff Garcia. He wasn’t especially good, but he once rallied San Francisco back from a 28-12 deficit with five minutes to play, so ninth place it is. If you want to make the argument someone like Dorsey or Smith belongs in this tier, I’d be willing to listen to it. The main thing we all need to realize is that these guys were all just different shades of bad.
Destined for better things elsewhere
7. Nick Mullens, 2018 (3-5) 6. Elvis Grbac, 1994-95 (6-3)
I’m overrating the hell out of Mullens here based on a small sample size, but he was good enough as a second-year revelation that he deserves separation from the Beathards and Dorseys of the San Francisco universe. He set a franchise record by being the only 49ers quarterback to throw for multiple touchdowns in his team debut — even if the Raiders didn’t exactly make it hard on him.
Nick Mullens was efficient in his first career start completing 16 of 22 (72.7%) for 262 yards and 3 TD. Mullens did not throw a single pass into a tight window (less than one yard of target separation), the first starting QB to do so in a game this season.#OAKvsSF #GoNiners pic.twitter.com/vFP5PpgzcY
— Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) November 2, 2018
In limited snaps, Mullens has averaged a shade under 285 passing yards per start. His 8.3 yards per attempt in 2018 ranked fifth among all qualified starting quarterbacks and was more efficient than players like Tom Brady, Drew Brees, and Russell Wilson. If nothing else, he’s a high-value backup on an absolute bargain of a contract and a valuable insurance policy for the 2019 Niners.
Mullens could make his name as a sometimes-starter in the Bay Area and then thrive as a building block for another QB-hungry team. That’s what Grbac did.
Grbac made nine starts in three seasons as Steve Young’s backup before the Chiefs made him their Joe Montana Steve Bono replacement (Kansas City really, really likes 49ers QBs). It’s easy to see why they settled on the San Francisco product. He completed more than 65 percent of his passes filling in for Young, and his 8.0 yards per pass in 1995 was second-best in the NFL among quarterbacks with at least 100 attempts. While he was buoyed by a pocket-clearing offensive line and a receiving corps led by a still-prime Jerry Rice, his starting stints in Kansas City (and later, Baltimore) proved he was an above-average 1990s quarterback.
Alex Smith
5. Alex Smith, 2005-12 (38-36-1)
Taken as a whole, Smith’s 49ers career was ... underwhelming.
But Smith’s time in San Francisco was a story of triumph. The former Utah star seemed destined to go down as one of the biggest busts in league history after starting his career with 31 interceptions, a 63.5 passer rating, and a putrid 4.6 adjusted yards per pass in his first 32 games. A season-ending shoulder injury in his fourth year, which came weeks after losing his starting job to J.T. by-god O’Sullivan, seemed to seal his fate as one of the worst draft picks to ever grace the modern NFL.
Then Smith turned things around, albeit slowly at first. He went 8-12 in his first two post-injury seasons. He finally played up his his draft position in his seventh and eighth years in the league. His final two seasons in San Francisco saw him go 19-5-1 as a starter while recording a 30:10 TD:INT ratio — all despite playing behind an offensive line that got him sacked on nearly 10 percent of his dropbacks. His sudden competence snapped an eight-year playoff drought and pushed the 49ers to the NFC title game in 2011.
That wasn’t enough to hold off Colin Kaepernick’s rise to the team’s starting role, but it made him valuable enough to fetch a second-round pick via trade in 2013.
Please direct your complaints to my personal email, adam (dot) stites @ sbnation (dot) com
4. Jeff Garcia, 1999-2003 (35-36) 3. Colin Kaepernick, 2012-16 (28-30) 2. Jimmy Garoppolo, 2017-19 (19-5)
Statistically, Garcia and Kaepernick are pretty evenly matched:
Garcia took bigger risks downfield, while Kaepernick was more cautious with the ball. Garcia was the better big-number passer, but Kaepernick backfilled those gaps with his ability to run the ball. Both were Pro Bowl-caliber quarterbacks who were sometimes bad, mostly good, and occasionally great.
The dividing line between the two is postseason success. Garcia went 1-2 in the playoffs with five interceptions and a passer rating roughly 15 points below his regular season average. His Niners never advanced beyond the Divisional Round.
Kaepernick, on the other hand, went 4-2 in his two postseason appearances, scoring 11 touchdowns (seven passing, four rushing) and leading the Niners to two NFC title games and one Super Bowl. He threw for 229 yards per game in the playoffs and ran for 84.5 more. His 264 rushing yards in a single postseason are the most by a quarterback in NFL history. Those are outstanding numbers and enough to give him the edge over Garcia.
Garoppolo can cement his place in the penultimate spot on this list by toppling the Chiefs in Super Bowl 54. While he’s been blessed with possibly the most talented supporting cast of anyone on this list but Young, he’s also capable of turning around even an awful 49ers team. San Francisco was 1-10 under Hoyer and Beathard in 2017 before Kyle Shanahan promoted his newly acquired QB to the starting role. The former Patriot showed out with five straight wins, including over the playoff-bound Titans, Jaguars, and Rams.
He’s only got one full season of starting experience under his belt, but Garoppolo has proven he can lead San Francisco to an NFC championship. His 99.2 passer rating and 67.6 completion rate are both tops among Niners quarterbacks over the past 25 years. His four fourth-quarter comebacks in 2019 led the league.
He’s still got plenty of room to fall down these rankings (and not much room to move up), but his first three seasons in the Bay Area have been outstanding so far — at least when he’s been healthy enough to take the field.
The legend
1. Steve Young, 1995-99 (42-14)
Young remained extremely good at football even as the Niners faded around him. His post-Super Bowl XXIX run saw him lead San Francisco to the playoffs in each season except for his injury-marred 1999 finale. The dual-threat quarterback made it to the Pro Bowl each season he started at least 11 games for the 49ers and led the league in passer rating six times — including twice after destroying the Chargers for his third NFL title.
But, most importantly ...

Also, he’s a Hall of Famer.
