i want to be excited about this league. but i have this feeling it will fold just like the others before it. i love football, i dont love it enough to watch substandard players play it. canadian football, meh arena, couldnt care less XFL, i watched for about 2 weeks, garbage football for hyped up fratboys. USFL, best of them all, succeeded for a short time merely because it actually had NFL caliber players playing, but ultimately still failed. so how does a fledgling football league get people interested without the best players playing? felt the same way about this past winter olympics when it came to the US Mens hockey team. NHL players werent allowed to participate, who the f cares then? i personally wanted to watch the best play. mbe some brilliant marketing guy can give us a reason to watch this league. not holding my breath.

NFL draft is the ultimate crap shoot, there isnt one real analyst/evaluator that truly knows what these kids can do. history has proven this over and over again. so getting bent out of shape about what will or wont happen is a waste of time. Darnold could very well be the best QB in this draft, goes to Cleveland and becomes a HoFer, or turns into Tim Couch. so many moving parts, from coaching, team around the player, personal abilities, luck, timing, etc etc etc. football is the ultimate team game, and zero people in this world can look at all these parts and make an informed decision thats 100% correct regardless of how much they know about these prospects.

more about Taylor? nice guy, couldnt pass the football. Clevelands problem now. move on.

i listened to him being interviewed live, and i must say, he either was bored, sleepy, or hes dumber than a box of rocks. not saying he definately is, but that was a terrible segment to listen too. if hes our starter day 1, ill support him till he doesnt deserve it anymore, but this particular interview didnt leave me feeling like our QB situation has been resolved.

not sure where all this Bruschi is an idiot stuff is coming from. hes usually right, and everything he said about Rosen is a potential problem. not sticking up for Bruschi, could care less about him. just find it funny the hate for him. he mentioned the other day that he loves everything the Bills have done recently and he was impressed with the past season as well as the moves this off season. actually one of the few who objectively looks at teams. dont find him to be much of a homer.

why cant OJ just fade away already? he shouldnt be given the time of day at this point. although, when i heard he believes he has CTE, didnt surprise me. makes you wonder if the violent outbursts/lack of control associated with the disease played a role in his past actions.

for the people complaining about this contract vs keeping Dareus, you forget the most important part, Dareus wasnt reliable. end of story. mbe we overpayed a bit for Star, but his career is about availability. something Dareus couldnt accomplish. Dareus was talented, when he played....

will be fun watching Tyrod be mediocre for another team next year. unless he magically starts reading the 2/3 of the field he couldnt with us, he'll put up his typical Tyrod numbers regardless of the "talent" around him. AFC North defenses are going to feast on his inability to pass the ball.

Eisen or Casserly?

Jets love to collect QBs, so no they arent out of the market yet.

thing is, McCarron is running out of places that need a starting QB.

this is just the Jests collecting QBs like every year, nothing to see here.

get the feeling that Rodgers has about had it with the Packers FO. How can a team be so cap strapped and have so many terrible players? Follow the Pack a bit and i believe they have wasted at least 5 good years of Rodgers' career with dumb personnel moves. no secret #13 is starting to dislike his coach. firing Van Pelt upset him. definately a team on the downswing. Jordy will find a home. wish him luck.

bit early to declare Watson a sure thing yet. 4 games....

cmon, even when Sammy was healthy Tyrod had trouble finding him. rmbr when Sammy got upset at his number of targets? Tyrod to Sammy worked a few times, not enough to be game changing. was it Sammys fault, no it was on the QB. but the revisionist history here makes me smh. Sammy was tossed because he was unreliable, and was going to want more money than he deserved at the time. front office got what they could and moved on. Sammy still needs to prove consistency over a period of time. KC overpayed for a receiver with his history and an ok rebound season with the Rams. theres alot going on with the NFL career of Sammy Watkins, some good, some bad, some his fault, some not. is he a perennial 1000yrd 10 td guy? no. 10mil/yr guaranteed for what hes done? meh.

please, dont turn this political, i didnt say i personally would fine them.

while i applaud Kap for his conviction about parts of society he disagrees with, he wont be an NFL starting QB anytime soon. the owners are still trying to figure out a way to get the players to stop the kneeling, and they wont, short of fining them everytime they do it. Kap is a headache no team needs, regardless of how dire a QB situation is. its gone beyond whether or not he can play. he made a stand for something, good or bad, and like most people who throw the middle finger at authority, authority fights back, and the person who went out on a limb gets bent over multiple ways. if youre gonna start a fight, u better make sure u can win it before u start it.

best thing Cutler could do for the NFL is head into the analyst booth, get bored with it after 3 weeks and go away permanently.

man i wanted him on draft day, would be great to have him back in this city.

to be fair, keenum signed a 2yr deal. doesnt take Denver out of draft a future QB mode.

and hes gonna get a huuuuge payday.

this is how everybody should settle differences on this board, no name calling, condescending words, just this. well done.

always liked Poz, watching him play he seemed slow tho, turned in a much longer career than i expected him to. good luck in the future Poz.

the book on Suh is hes dirty, thats it. never been mentioned as lacking intelligence, not motivated, bad locker room guy. if anything he wants the players around him to get better, and the team to succeed. if he can be had for a decent # and years. our DT situation would be taken care of in spades. Star eating up 2 blocks, Suh causing havoc up the middle of the field, Jerry on the edge. sounds deadly. sounds like alot of sacks or more picks for our ball hawking secondary. price has to be right tho.

player grades and stats can be skewed, especially when they relate to a game with as many moving parts as NFL football. Teams pay PFF for raw stats. i dont believe the teams pay for PFFs analysis of said stats.
