Internet Savant posted:From listening to the radio and hearing it on TV, Sports metaphors in general (not just football) have moved away from humanizing terms like "player" to de-humanizing terms like assets, pieces, weapons, battles. Ryan Clark's discussion from Monday night only put those terms in more of a stark contrast. The players are being presented more things to be used and discarded. Fantasy sports doesn’t help things in this regard. Go look at the comments* on a player profile in the Yahoo app when they aren’t performing well and you’ll see thousands of people spewing the worst sort of vitriol at someone because they have 20 bucks on the line. *I cannot recommend actually doing this

I really need to catch a Houston game. I’ve seen games of the Rams, Cardinals, Broncos, and Bears. These teams have been incredible train wrecks, often with plentiful injuries. The idea that Houston is somehow clearly worse while much healthier is wild. Almost unbelievable.

Davis Mills at least knows it's something you throw, just not that you need to throw it to specific guys and not to other dudes who can potentially catch it.

latinotwink1997 posted:I imagine a lot of players are learning what commotio cordis is for the first time and maybe wondering if football is still worth it. At the very least, I could see more guys shying away from direct hits because they don’t want to be the next Hamlin. I seriously doubt it's changing the calculus for any significant number of players at all. They're all already aware that it's a bloodsport, a freak occurrence isn't likely to be some wakeup call.

What’s funny is that this Houston team has taken it to some of the better squads in the league. They then lose that lead at the last moment in hilarious fashion.

They seem to have some major brain fart capacity this year. Meanwhile the Texans got owned by the Dolphins so hard they sat starters in the middle of the third quarter.

Forrest on Fire posted:Backup QB isn't a measure of skill. It's a measure of good vibes. Carson Wentz has nauseatingly bad vibes. The ideal backup is like Drew Stanton: the offense can move the ball, and the starter's job isn't a looming decision over the locker room This is accurate, Steelers had S tier backups for like a decade with Charlie Batch, Byron Leftwich, and Mike Vick. Also Bruce Gradkowski.

For what it's worth he was a good player, and the Chiefs secondary was about the only good part of the team when he played.

i mean, smith was as talented as those guys, sure. but his entire demeanor and presence and ability to dismantle you with words is on another level. he was basically the rock of the nfl. and still no one comes close. dude ruled hard.

Yeah, I mean he's a good player and all, but he's not from the veteran's committee, they're debating between Chuck Howley, Joe Klecko and Ken Riley. This is the first time Albert Lewis has made the finalists list and he retired in '98. Just seems a weird selection
