Chicken Boo

In total agreement. Just wait until it's 20 games...

Watson is the perfect fit for NO and Payton can afford to mortgage the future a bit as the Saints are ready to win now.

That's what I gather as well. I'm thinking he wanted to hit the escalators that game and not have to play in week 18.

Take into account that players play hurt all the time. They even elect to put off needed surgery until it's convenient. It happens often. He went out with the injury in week 7 and didn't return until he was "medically cleared" in week *16. Likely to meet his escalators, which would explain the 15 targets he received. He had 10 catches for 101 yards. I'd wager he received an injection before that game as well. I have my own opinion on what happened, whether it's true or not. Antonio played hurt, returned for the good of the team and to reach his bonuses and wasn't happy with his involvement in the game plan. Knowing he would eventually need surgery on his ankle, he had that excuse in his back pocket whenever he needed it and here we are.

Imagine complaining about not getting targets after getting 15 the previous week from Brady and having 5 targets so far in the Jets game before he stormed off the field in the 3rd quarter - not to mention still having the season finale against Carolina the following week. There is no controversy here. Good riddance.

I wouldn't pay Ridley the money that he's going to command. I'm all for giving Gabe and Isaiah more playing time.

If the Browns can get a haul for Mayfield, I'd ship him without question. Their offense revolves around the running game. I believe they could get similar production from Jimmy Garoppolo without having to break the bank and also not having to tie their hands for the foreseeable future.

Packers. I love watching Rodgers play.

Are there Bears in Chicago?

Gotcha. I still don't believe it makes as much of a difference as some think when it comes to playing quarterback. Everyone wants to point at the lower scores, but I'd imagine there are more who score higher that are absolutely terrible at the position.

I don't understand how eras come into play regarding the wonderlic.

I don't believe the wonderlic matters. Marino, Kelly, McNabb, Lamar, McNair, etc. either didn't score particularly high or high at all. Same for the sucky QBs that score high. It's football. If you're trying to determine if a QB can process things quickly, how about an on-field football related drill?

2011 Dallas Mavericks stuff.

If you were to go by the "team that gets hot at the right time" logic, it's the Bengals.

You read that one part and dismissed everything else I wrote. Remember Tony Dungy with the Bucs? How about Schottenheimer with San Diego? That's not a place we want to be.

He's going to have 10+ catches on Sunday.

I like Sean, but Marvin Lewis took Cinci out of the gutter and at one time had 5 straight playoff appearances. It's cool for now, but at some point it won't be enough. Now is definitely not the time for this discussion as McDermott is a very good coach that has bought himself a good bit of time to get a Super Bowl win.

The heaviest thing I've seen regarding this situation. When it first happened, I told my best friend that I thought Antonio would be dead in 5 years. I hope I'm wrong.

He's always been a diva. CTE can cause erratic behavior. Marry the 2 and this is what you get. I'm not saying that CTE is soley responsible for his actions.

I don't care what anyone says, he's got CTE.

4. You're probably forgetting Stafford.

And it's a damn shame. The talent is undeniable, but he, Cook and McCaffrey are always dinged up. Comes with the territory of being a 3 down RB, I guess. Barkley has had the worst luck of the 3 though.

And I distinctly remember about 70% of this board wanting nothing to do with Allen because of the accuracy concerns.

Cliché, I know, but you take the best talent available that isn't a QB. There isn't a position on this team that doesn't need upgrading outside of maybe safety.

Godspeed to the man. He was younger than I would have thought.
