Vander posted:So what's this mean? I'm not 100% sure this is the case, but it would mean that putting a player on the PUP list doesn't count him as one of the 53 man roster while he's on the PUP list, meaning you have a free spot to keep someone else on the roster. Same principle as putting players on IR. They're still on your team, but don't take up one of the 53 roster spots and don't have to go through waivers or anything like they would if you just released them from the 53 man roster

k3nn posted:What happens to all the dudes who don't make NFL teams? As I understand it teams start camp with 90 and cut down to 53 for the start of the regular season.. I know some get picked up by other teams, but that's still 37 guys per team who can't be on a roster. I'm sure a bunch of these just retire/give up on football, but surely that can't account for everyone. Do the others just spend the year training in hope of finding a spot the next year? Are there minor leagues they can play in to keep their skills up while they wait? Arena football and the Canadian Football League are possibilities for a lot of them

Detective Thompson posted:In college ball, how come, when they show who's playing who, some teams are ranked and others aren't? Is it a bowl thing? The associated press ranks the top 25 teams every week. If the team makes the list, they're "ranked". If they don't, they don't get a little number next to their name.

Batoot posted:Yeah I'm sort of afraid of he getting injured, he's gotten alot of hits already. And the recent concussion .. hopefully he'll be a bit more careful. People talking about him being a bust, what's that about? Is that still an issue or is it more about the pre-draft? I like watching alot of teams, but I just find myself cheering more for the Redskins because of RG3. If he got the franchise into the playoffs that would probably be a good start, but it won't happen on his rookie year. Because obviously this is a team game. And yeah, I heard about Snyder and his awful ways. I'd love to hear more on why he's a lovely owner. But please, tell me more about the pros and cons of being a Redskins fan. Snyder is simultaneously the best owner and the worst owner. He's the best because he'll shell out tons of loving cash to bring in superstar players. He's the worst because everyone he brings in is horrible or past their prime.

Detective Thompson posted:When they made up the divisions, how did they decide where to put which teams? Some teams, in terms of geographic location, are way out of the cardinal direction of the division, like the Colts being in the AFC South or the Cowboys in the NFC East. Most make sense for what division they're in, but a number kind of stand out. A lot of the divisions are grown from rivalries that formed when the initial divisions were created. When the AFL was created in 1960, it had eight teams... San Diego, Oakland, Denver, and Kansas City in the West, and Boston, New York, Houston, and Buffalo in the East. The East kind of did their own thing and added a couple of NFL teams after the merger (Colts, Dolphins) and fractured once the AFC Central came into being, the AFL West is the current AFC West and those rivalries have been uninterrupted. If the NFL was concerned about geography, during realightment they would have taken Kansas City out of the AFC West and left it as San Diego, Denver, Oakland, and Seattle. But no one cares about Seattle so they were easy to move

No Safe Word posted:I would assume they'd shift the Chiefs to the AFC South and the Jags to the AFC West, though I don't know how many feathers that might ruffle in KC. But geographically speaking it'd make the most sense. Which is precisely why the NFL won't actually do that. More likely, they'd move the Rams to the AFC South and the Jags to the NFC West. I really doubt they'd mess with the AFC West

Dolash posted:Asked this in the wrong thread, but will ask here: Tebow isn't going to play for a couple of reasons. One, Rex Ryan is incredibly stubborn and keeps insisting that Mark Sanchez gives the Jets the best chance to win. I don't even know if that's technically untrue or not, given the three quarterbacks on the Jets roster. Which brings me to the second reason. Tebow just isn't very good.

Vaya con Dios!!! posted:I've forgotten the terms for them but I have noticed that mixed snap counts and hard counts seem to have disappeared. Is there a reason for this, am I just hallucinating? One thing I've noticed about the 49ers this year is that when they're playing poorly they seem to be getting owned on the OL a lot - defensive rushers and blitzers seem to regularly jump the snap - and it seems something simple like mixed snap counts could slow their step a little. San Diego used a ton of hard counts the last two weeks of the season and they worked splendidly against the Jets and Raiders

Grozz Nuy posted:I'm pretty sure (not 100% though, since I was 9 and not exactly following the draft at the time) that it really wasn't, at least not to the degree that it's been built up to in light of Leaf's spectacular flameout. As I understand it many people felt that Leaf had a ceiling equivalent to Peyton's, but he wasn't nearly the same level of product coming out of school. Somebody older than me and/or someone who pays a lot more attention to college football could probably c/d that though. pretty much. Peyton was the polished product and Leaf was the swing for the fences kinda guy. They were both insanely highly regarded though
