NFL thread! What are you thinking?

[NiftyNiblick 1,971]

. Only problem is the qb can't move can't throw and gets so scared of being hit he throws it in the dirt or falls to the ground.

Is that the quarterback who beat my Patriots in two Super Bowls?

 

How did I not notice those faulty attributes?

Washington O-line >>> MIN O-line ....

So you're saying it could be a long year for Kirk....ha  good.   Might bring him back down to earth a bit.   I think he was a good QB and the Redskins should have offered him the $19 Million a year after his first year, not the $14 mil they tried to "lowball" him with.  But he certainly wasn't worth the $29 to $30 million he wanted in his last negotiation.   I don't think he got near that with MN did he?

My Vikings had 3 good quarterbacks and threw them all away for a mediocre at best Cousins. Gonna be a long year for them and hopefully a fired GM after those moves...

This is only marginally off-topic, but I try to watch this clip every year. I have a good friend who is a Jets fan so it helps me understand his psychological state.

My favorite... 1st round pick selects... Full back (OH NOOOOO). Marino and Sapp were pretty good too.

I have a hard time connecting Texas and Baylor to the Green Bay Packers.

 

It can't just be the colors.   The Gold is completely different.

Oh I have no love for the Packers, but I think Aaron Rogers is due for a solid season. 

 

And that Packers yellow is nasty mustard yellow...not the delicious spicy deli mustard but the crap you put on your overpriced hotdog at the football stadium.

...not out of the realm of possibility according to Vegas (they're usually very good with this!)

I think the Lions are quite low on this list. I mean. Really. There gonna be 8-8 this season. Shouldn't they be higher since 8-8 is really good for them.

I think Aaron Rogers is do for a solid firearm shiver. He is quite possibly the #1 disliked person for me in the NFL. Some that is him and some of it is a BIL and a Nephew.

Totally agree.  The Pitt Panthers used to have the nicer mustard yellow back in the Tony Dorsett days.

That color should be used more.

That was years ago he's lost a bunch of arm strength and his mobility is trash. They may rank the oline that high but they got two huge upgrades in solder and the mauler

He's been spoiled being behind a pretty good line in his entire career.  WAS missed their chance but that's Dan Snyder for ya!

 

MIN o-line has been really unlucky with injuries the last couple years.

 

They have a very good supporting cast with Rudolph, Diggs, Thielen, Cook and their defense is very good.  Cousins may struggle this year but if that line gets healthy and gels, LOOK OUT..... 

[Charli 913]

I actually feel bad for Rodgers.

Solder is overrated -- he hasn't been good the last couple years with the Pats.

 

25th is bad... really bad....  like 7th worst in the league bad.

 

Ereck Flowers might be the worst RT in the entire NFL...at least Eli will have a chance with a new LT protecting his blind side...until he gets hurt.... and then ... 

 

25. NEW YORK GIANTS PROJECTED STARTING LINEUP:

Left Tackle: Nate Solder, 75.7 overall grade

Left Guard: Will Hernandez, 91.4* (2017 college grade)

Center: Jon Halapio, 44.0

Right Guard: Patrick Omameh, 53.6

Right Tackle: Ereck Flowers, 51.5

2017 season-end rank: 26th (+1)

After making Nate Solder the highest paid tackle in football and drafting Will Hernandez in the second-round, the Giants offensive line has to be better than last year. Neither of those guys are sure-fire miracle workers though as Solder himself gave up 51 pressures a season ago (Ereck Flowers has averaged 58 a season for his career).

dude has a broken collar bone every other year...what more do you want from him !??!?! 

[NiftyNiblick 1,971]

The  Giants should get some advantage with Solder who still has at least some game.

But Brady got rid of the ball fast while Manning looks downfield.

 

Solder was part of Belichick deliberately wrecking the team to specifically screw Brady..

Both will be playing golf next season, and Kraft may put the club on the market..

Really to both these posts, I couldn't believe they just cast them all aside.  That is insane.   What's the fan reaction to Cousins been in MN?

He definitely has some good targets there.   Thielen and Diggs are awesome, Diggs had a career day last year against them.  I guess he wanted to show them what the Hometown boy could do.    

 

They are definitely better than the crew Cousins had last year, two years ago when he had Desean Jackson and Pierre Garcon, was a different story.

Well, not so good. MN isn't as hardcore football as, say Texas but for Minnesotans, they aren't happy. A lot of people liked Bridgewater and Bradford and thought they could get us to a Super Bowl. I wasn't a big fan of Bradford, he got injured to frequently for me to think he could be a franchise quarterback. But I thought Bridgewater in a year or two could have gotten us a Super Bowl. The Vikings have a lot of good pieces but Cousins isn't a Super Bowl level QB. He could get us into a Wild Card but never really a SB contender.

I can't speak for anybody else but I am in a Fantasy League with my buddies and the winner nets just shy of a grand.  I drafted Rudolph since Cousins likes his tight ends.  That said even if he throws 20 touchdowns to him and I win the league, if we aren't in the super bowl this year I will be at the front of the line to help usher Kirk out!  

 

I told my buddies 2 years ago that I didn't think they could do anything worse than trading for Bradford.  With the signing of Cousins, unfortunately I had to eat my words.  I don't understand how you use a 1st round pick on Bridgewater, then another 1st round pick to trade for Bradford and neither are on the team 3 years later.

Another broken collar bone.
