Chicken Boo

I look at it from this standpoint. A 4500 yard season for a QB used to average out to 281 yards per game. (16 game season) That's still a monster season as far as yardage.

300 yard games in today's NFL don't mean much. "It's a passing league" after all. Matt Ryan and Eli Manning are #8 & #9 all time in passing yards.

https://www.pff.com/nfl/players/jason-peters/2148 He can still ball at an above average level.

I wouldn't be surprised if Gabe out-performs Diggs this season and that's not a knock on Stefon.

Lil'Jordan Humphrey cut by the Pats. 🤨 I don't get it. 6'4" 225lbs and balls out when given the opportunity. 19.2ypc last season. I wonder what would have happened with him in NO if Brees were a few years younger.

That's a far cry from the 90s. I can link you a 90s house if you'd like. I have one saved on Zillow. I couldn't resist. It's like a time capsule.

I wasn't going to say anything. He definitely looks hungry. *Edit: I'm not wishing harm on anyone, but he looks ill.

Year 2 on a loaded team with arguably the best developer of QB talent in the league. He had better show something.

Smart decision. Still getting paid on a good team while staying in the system you know with the coach you know. Wins across the board.

Roethlisberger is fortunate that his cases happened in 2010 and not 2016 or later. The climate is much different now, post-Brock Turner.

The agreement of consensual sex probably didn't include being gang raped by 3 or 4 other guys and having piercings ripped from her body. The phone recording where he confirms, then denies remembering anything and suggesting she get tested for an STD certainly isn't helping his case. This will all play out in court, but it doesn't look good at all.

According to the plaintiff, she was *drugged, raped and mutilated. These 2 cases are not the same.

The article read like it still remains to be seen if he will face criminal charges.

If this were to happen, it'll tell me all I need to know about this coaching staff.

See. Even Brady knows Carr is meh.

Fair enough. That's very strict criteria and I completely understand where you're coming from. I wouldn't have a problem if this were the standard, but the NFL is long past that point. For the record, I believe Dalvin Cook is WAY more dynamic than Martin or Chubb. I'm actually looking forward to seeing him in this revamped Minnesota offense. It seems like Kevin O'Connell will be using Dalvin to his fullest potential as an all purpose guy. If you could turn off injuries like in Madden, Dalvin Cook would widely be considered the best back in football. I'm extremely high on him. 5 years in the league and he has a 4.7 ypc average for his career and is an above average pass catcher at the position.

I agree with the accumulation of stats argument, but Curtis didn't hang around years after his prime to do it. 10 of his 11 seasons were 1,000 seasons. He went for 1,200 or more 7 of those 10. There were no frills about him, although he cut and slashed well. He was just fundamentally sound and effective.

I missed that headline.

No Curtis Martin? For consistency, productivity and longevity you have to put him in. He was quiet, reserved, not overly dynamic, but a damn good football player. Maybe he should have had a longer wait (?), but 10 straight 1,000 yard seasons, over 17,000 yards from scrimmage and *100 TDs would get anybody in. Now, Frank Gore is going to be a hot debate in 5 years. I don't think he's a Hall guy, but there's something to be said for longevity, especially at the RB position.

I respectfully disagree. It's a true shame what happened to Sharpe because he definitely had Hall of Fame talent, but carrying your team to back to back Super Bowl victories and winning league MVP isn't done by just any Joe Schmo. Terrell Davis was a rare breed of athleticism, *speed and power at the RB position.

People always question Terrell Davis but never Gale Sayers. Davis is a 2-time Super Bowl Champ (and came up BIG in both) and a large part of the reason Elway has any rings at all. He's a 3-time first team all pro, 1998 League MVP, made the 90s all decade team, has a career average of 4.6 ypc... Yes, his career was cut short by injury, but he was undoubtedly an elite talent that played like it on the field and under the brightest lights.

He's got it where it counts in the talent and heart department. Just needs to hone his craft. Kind of looks like David Gerrard out there.

My obsession? How many times have you responded now? It's a slow off-season. This is football. Julio's success is directly tied to his QB. Why wouldn't Brady be a big part of this discussion? Julio's past 2 years have been marred by injury not by poor play, as you're suggesting. You'll see.

How many rings between all those players you listed? That 45 year old QB just won the Super Bowl 2 years ago. *For the record, I'm high on the combos you've listed, particularly the Broncos, but none of them are Brady. I've given up waiting on him to hit the wall.

The "I told you so" will be in the vein of when Randy Moss was traded to NE and everyone said that he was washed and past his prime, when I and plenty of others knew exactly what was to come.
