If that actually happens then good for him. I think we're beyond the "he needs a change of scenery at the very least" stage out here.

I'm torn between hating the 9ers in general and wanting them to lose and hating Kaepernick enough that it's funny to me when they win without him.

2016 is going to be twelve weeks of Kaepernick to Agholor looking like Young to Rice, followed by a December of a 62.3 passing rating and a first round flameout.

So it always has been with the Philadelphia Eagles, so always it shall be.

I don't really give a poo poo or anything but the Eagles have routinely been one of the best December teams in football outside of last year bruh.

How much of the Eagles roster/coaching staff is held over from before last year? Is that historical tendency actually something that matters if the group is like all new?

The thing with Chips Eagles teams is they are radically dependent on the offensive line. Which I believe the common wisdom is they play better the more they play together.

Did anyone ever assume Johnny was going to be the kind of passer to make dumb, boring throws or shoot for high-percentage plays? I guess the Browns GM/Owner/Coaches did at some point.

Can we just officially name the line between "passable starter" and "decent backup" the McCown Line?

so when you cross the line north through belgium (injuries to the starter) instead of through hard work it's the Manziel Strategy?

Sorry but the line between viable franchise QB and problem that needs to be replaced was irrevocably linked to Dalton in 2012. Now anyone who doesn't have 18 or better TDs, 4 or fewer INTs, a 67% completion rating and a 111 passer rating or better is a garbage QB.

As a fan of a divisional rival that knows one of the most annoying Bengals fans known to man, I'm just not seeing it. I'm seeing somewhat of a heel turn but nothing like what the Hawks went through, yet.


Now if they win the Superbowl then talk about repeating non stop the ya, that's going full Seahawk.

I mean there's a reason Bengals fans have a chip on their shoulder. Last video I saw was some ex player talking poo poo about how he'd take the Broncos because they have the better QB. In week of our lord 10 of the 2015 season. But, you see, Manning knows how to win playoff games. I bet I could find the exact same guy badmouthing Peyton in the playoffs during Manning's actual peak, but since he's being compared to the Bengals a geriatric Peyton doing worse in every metric with worse supporting talent is somehow superior. Never mind the fact that Peyton didn't win a playoff game until year six.

It's going to be such a lovely offseason if they don't make some hay and break a few barriers this year.

As a brit who started watching NFL early this year at the superbowl, I needed something to latch on to, to get invested in the game. I ended up initially choosing the Seahawks over the Patriots because Marshawn Lynch is a strange dude but when the new season started I made the decision to forget about the Seahawks, watch the Red Zone and just find a team that made big plays and had a young up-and-comer. When I heard about the Jaguars possibly moving to London I gave them some thought but decided that would involve too much heartache. Then I noticed one of the cheap QB options on the nfl fantasy website was doing really well and I started watching him with interest.

Tyrod Taylor motherfuckers! Watching the Bills without him was tragic but I've had tons of fun watching this dumb flawed team with it's dumb foot fetishist coach and spotty defence. I don't understand half the lingo of this sport still halfway through the season but I'm planning on staying up all night thursday to watch the Bills Jets game because of the high stakes and it's looking like it'll be a good match. Even if they don't get the wildcard I think I've found my team, though I won't lie if Taylor moved I'd probably swap with him.

As to an actual question, do QBs often switch teams? I guess I'm asking if it's safe to look into a jersey or whether I should be worried about another team stealing Taylor away at the end of the season.
