    Say what you want about the guy, but he is arguably better than 15 of the guys who will start for NFL teams next year.     Think he'd be a hell of a smart pickup for Seattle this year, if they can cut some salary in the trade.  

    .....and all of the bottom 15 teams are looking to upgrade and get a franchise QB.  That's hardly the bar to clear and not sure would qualify as a smart pickup for Seattle.  Maybe Cleveland is still asking for too much to trade for Mayfield, but there does not seem to be much interest....guess that demonstrates what the rest of the league thinks of him.

    Hmmm.  Thread title says released Thursday....you might want to add "....from jail".  I thought he was released from the Chiefs until I read your update!  (not that I thought Andy Reid would actually hold him accountable...)

    Jones probably had his worst game last night during the Pats current 5 game win streak but they still put up 25 points in a shut out.

     

    Right now PFF has him graded as the best QB in the entire league the last 5 weeks and right up there in other key metrics which is also dispels the game manager myth:

     

    Great hot take…might as well size him up for his filthy bust in Canton!

    Right now Fox is the only network offering games in 4K.  They've been showing the Thursday night games in 4k on Verizon Fios (I don't know about other cable systems)  & had the World Series in 4K.  For some reason if I channel surf during time outs it takes a few seconds for the 4K signal to come up unfrozen & with sound.  If I leave it on the 4K broadcast it's fine-except if the game lasts too long & goes beyond it's scheduled time & then it just goes off the air. .  

    Technically Fox is just upscaling to 4K. The equipment recording in the stadiums is still HD. The NFL has not bit the bullet to upgrade the infrastructure in the stadiums to 4K yet

    Sam was screwed the moment they called his name on draft day, his only hope is to see Gase fired and someone with a clue to take over at HC, and that begs the question who would be the fireman that could even hope to put out that tire fire...

    I just can’t get into this game. I’ve tried all week -even with Christmas, but I just don’t care and wish it were defaulted. Sure, I’d love an 11 Win season and I hate and ALWAYS want to beat the Jets. But with the laissez faire attitude by the team, starters wisely not playing the whole game and the outcome otherwise meaningless sans national opinion being ‘Well, they ONLY won 10 games, so..’ IDGAF.

     

    Honestly can’t remember feeling this way about any game, regardless of any previous W/L record on the final week.

     

    Sorry, guys..?‍♂️

    I hear you...I’m pretty much in the same place. Anyone hear the draft position impact of winning vs. losing. Is it much different?

    If Allen goes to the Bench that means McD is getting fired. 
     

    fact is He passed on Mahomes, Watson and Jackson for Allen. So if Allen gets Benched it should absolutely cost McConservative his Job. 
     

    also Who’s decision was it to draft a developmental QB and NOT put any weapons around him?  Who’s decision was it to start Paterman out of the Gates last year. There are more than enough to justify canning McD

    Ha, that’s a good one! Not sure we have or will EVER see a 6 & 3 coach canned. Try again rookie

    Dallas and the NFL just lost a true star player even if he is a guard.  Bills may have lost their heart on defense and a team leader.  

    It is time to end all pre-season games.  Don't tell me about timing and figuring out roster spots.  Week 1 of college is played at just as high level as week 4.  The plays run in pre-season are not the same ones they would run or face in week 1.  All teams would be equal in terms of preparation.  They knew their top 45 guys after OTAs and their top 50 before the first preseason game.

    There is no reason to risk injury in meaningless games.  If a guy gets hurt in practice so be it.  

     

    No reason? There’s a big reason:$

    EJ Manuel and Sack o ####enberg have one thing in common.

     

    The year after EJ left FSU, FSU won the national title.

     

    The year after CSoS### left Penn State, they won the Big 10 .

     

     

    Always funny to see a college program lose a "star" QB to the NFL... and then do much much better the next year with his uber-green replacement...

    Like T Martin taking over for Peyton Manning

    So, on the leadership issues as it relates to this commentary, Rosen strikes me as world class narcissist, and a self-absorbed rich kid who could be prone to alienating teammates (and fans, though winning chills a lot of that noise out).  He also strikes me as Intolernat of the views of others,  and I think that can cause friction when working with  adults.  To summarize....I think he sounds like a Trust Fund baby.

     

    Its not not even so much what he says, or wearing a dopey hat,  much of what he's talking about likely comes from a good place, but I'm typically concerned about someone's leadership quotient when in less than 1000 words they've told me how enlightened they are relative to other people,  how well-educated they are because like UCLA,  how wealthy their parents are,  how there's so much ignorance in the country relative to everything they know, but the real kicker for me was "I'll debate ANYONE" which always seems an awful lot like "I'll bludgeon ANYONE" with my opinions". 

     

     then again, maybe he's so good no one gives a crap about any of that and he leads his team to the promised land.  Hard to say. Oh and I gotta hand it to him on the Thuderbuddies reference. 

    Wow! Did you even read his quote?

    I remember when we drafted Thurman Thomas in the 2nd round and Kiper said Thurman was a waste of a pick. I have laughed about Kiper since then.

    Your post brought back memories of that draft so I looked it up and found this article>

    http://articles.latimes.com/1988-04-25/sports/sp-1164_1_nfl-draft 

     

    Funny how wrong the writer is about pretty much everything related to the draft! Other than "Mel Kiper, whoever he is, and his 200-word sentences"

    Wonder if he would have believed that the draft would turn into a 3+ day event and newspapers would be out of business in 30 years (vs. his prediction that draft are to be covered by newspapers and not TV :)
