Chicken Boo

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.

I disagree and find it strange how people are dismissing the Brady to Julio connection. This could be far more lethal than Brady to Brown. And no, this isn't a "We should have signed Julio" post, but this will indeed be an "I told you so" if they light the league up this season.

I think he's in a perfect situation where he doesn't have to be alpha Julio for a full season, but for those weeks that he is...look out!

Been watching this game a long time. Injury is the only thing that's going to stop this combination. Too much talent, too much experience. https://youtu.be/zb6vYbvGyuU

No one is complaining. Cautioning against it is more like it. It's weird. Especially for adults.

The reactions to your fair comment are telling. Hero worship has never sat right with me. He's just a guy.

This is a nuisance to write out, but the blue lines should be white, the red line down the center should be blue and slightly thinner with red dividing the white and blue lines.

The red stripe down the center and red jerseys are atrocious.

Don't let your eyes deceive you.

He's more dominant than Bruce.

No disrespect to Oliver, but Aaron Donald is the best DT and one of the top 3 most dominant defensive forces this league has ever seen.

Broncos. Russ has the most talent on offense that he's ever had, imo, the best 1-2 punch in the league at RB and a defense that gave up the 3rd fewest points in the league a season ago. Russell, Sutton, Juedy, Williams/Gordon at RB and a pretty good defense. People are going to get a swift reminder of just how good Courtland Sutton is this season.

Interested to see where it goes from here. Has he learned anything? Will he go the Roethlisberger route or the R. Kelly route.

Weapon! 77 rec 1405 18.2ypc + 365 yards rushing. 3rd in the league for total yards from scrimmage. Too much is made of him running the ball out of the backfield. He's an excellent WR. McKenzie did absolutely nothing of the sort. Deebo put up better numbers than Diggs last year.

The Bills should regularly be in 3 and 4 WR sets. You can never have too much talent.
