The one thing I learned this year is that teams should forbid their new first-round QB from any endorsement deals or Snickers commercials before they have even played a single snap, lest they start believing their own hype and flame out in a gigantic fireball of smug overconfidence and hot fiery garbage.

Sorry about your team, Rams

I can't feel especially bad for you though, everyone loves talking about the Jaguars moving and the sooner someone else goes to LA the better. I know the London Jaguars is the new meme but that's just never gonna happen for a million reasons.

I don't care where they play since I'll always be a fan (because I'm an idiot), but it'd be great to get all this nonsense finished as quickly as possible. I know it'll take forever, but one can hope.

"Excuse me, do you have any sacks?"
A pair of young girls standing next to him take a selfie. JJ's eye begins to twitch uncontrollably.
"Sorry bae, no sacks here."
"Okay, thanks."
Bleeding from the ear, JJ pulls out his phone for a countdown till next training camp begins.

Let's have Anquan Boldin line up at wideout and run go-routes all game.

What's a seam route?

No Joe you can't audible.

In the Cam era the offense would magically get crazy results in the 2 minute drill when Joe would call plays on the fly.

For me it's because he called only a handful of plays for Tomlinson in the second half of that loving playoff game against the Patriots. When the Chargers' running game was generally successful against that Pats' defense.

That wasn't as glaringly moronic as when McCree fumbled away the game winning interception but it's absolutely as much of a reason why the Chargers blew that game.

It was actually Marty that told Cameron to pass.

I know, it's weird. Marty said he was gonna pass the ball all loving day in that game.

Whatever good Cameron worked in San Diego has not translated to literally any other job he's had, that's why people don't like him. Your team has been the aberration, and his team contained one of the greatest running backs to ever play the game. He also had a hall of fame TE to work with for many of those years. He got to work with a future hall of fame QB, who granted wasn't quite a god yet when he played.

Maybe Cameron was good for SD naturally and not entirely a product of the talent he had to work with (Honestly all great teams are coaching+talent) but he's sucked rear end since, it's okay to accept that. It's kind of like how many Giants fans seem to think Spags is still a god despite the fact that he's done jack poo poo since leaving, and when he was here he had the best D-line in football to work with.

GIVE ME MORE
SUPER BOWL
WINS

Why have the Bills missed the playoffs for the past fourteen years? Many, many reasons. One of those reasons is poor drafting. So, five years later, let us reflect on the 2010 Buffalo Bills draft(the first of the Nix/Gailey era)

Round 1, Pick 9 - HB C.J. Spiller
Spiller is a dynamic player, and that is primarily why he was picked. But, ultimately, he is also a role player. He isn't an every-down back, or an every-down receiver. He needs significant help from scheme to be effective and is frequently sidelined by injury. In the end, he is a good player, but that's just not good enough from the 9th-overall pick. Grade : D+
Notable players taken within 10 picks: Earl Thomas, Jason Pierre-Paul, Mike Iupati

Round 2, Pick 41 - DT Torell Troup
Troup was considered a bit of a reach at the time, and was envisaged as a nose-tackle in the 3-4 Gailey's DC George Edwards was installing. While Troup showed some promise in limited opportunities, he ultimately spent more time injured than playing. His chronic back issues forced him to retire. Grade : F
Notable players taken within 10 picks: Rob Gronkowski(:suicide:) , Zane Beadles, Linval Joseph, Daryl Washington, Toby Gerhart

Round 3, Pick 72 - DE/DT Alex Carrington
Carrington was a project, a development pick meant to deliver a few years down the line. While he eventually contributed, he was underwhelming, and is now a reserve with the Rams. He hasn't been missed.
Grade : D
Notable players taken within 10 picks: Brandon LaFell, Emmanuel Sanders

Round 4, Pick 107 - WR Marcus Easley
Easley was drafted for his big body and athleticism, the hope being that he could develop into a reliable receiving target. Though he has never made it higher than fifth on the depth chart at that position, he is an absolute beast on special teams. Grade : B+
Notable players taken within 10 picks : Jacoby Ford(:rip:), Aaron Hernandez(:shepface:), Dennis Pitta

Round 5, Pick 140 - T Ed Wang
He was taken as a developmental tackle, but never made the team.
Grade : F
Notable players taken within 10 picks : Zoltan Mesko

Round 6, Pick 178 - LB Arthur Moats
DON'T CROSS THE MOATS!
But seriously, he's been a good back-up linebacker and special teamer since he was picked. Plus, he is the Favre Slayer.
Grade : A+
Notable players taken within 10 picks : Dan "The Fever" Lefevour

Round 6, Pick 192 - LB Danny Batten
Was briefly a reserve linebacker, is now out of the NFL.
Grade : D
Notable players taken within 10 picks : James Starks, Trindon Holliday, Joe Webb

Round 7, Pick 209 - QB Levi Brown
Was on our practice squad for a year, then got dumped. Out of NFL
Grade : C
Notable players taken within 10 picks : None

Round 7, Pick 216 - T Kyle Calloway
Was cut before the pre-season, IIRC.
Grade : F
Notable players taken within 10 picks : J'Marcus Webb

Yeah, so, it was a bad draft folks. That's how you go 6-10 every year.

JJ Watt has been in the league for four years. In the 2012 season he became the first ever player to have a PFF score over 100. After setting the record in 2012, he broke it in 2013, then broke that one again this year

He can be a stick in the mud all he wants

I'm pretty sure that the only way to be as good as Watt is, is to ignore everything that isn't football and be the most boring, whitebread guy off the field.

Also, he's from Wisconsin.
