Febreeze posted:Was Julius Thomas really that bad in Jax? How much of it was just a product of the team I'm sure that's part of it, his catch % when targeted went from ~70% his last 2 years in Denver to 57-58% in Jacksonville. But I think it's pretty possible he's just an injury prone tight end that will put up around 500 yards and be a good red zone target for you in a good year. Still, he's a massive upgrade for Miami even with that isn't he? Haven't they been just godawful at the position for like a decade?

a neat cape posted:He's bad and was a stupid pick It's interesting that he was much better than Todd Gurley last year. I mean yeah he has an actual quarterback and passing game and for all the faults in San Diego last year they weren't coached by Jeff Fisher and whatever he was trying to do on offense. But it's still kinda interesting.

Isn't Floyd almost surely going to be gone for a year no matter what? Or did his previous DUI not count for NFL disciplinary reasons since he was still in college?

R.D. Mangles posted:torn about whether i want the bears to resign alshon only because the list of functioning bears wide receivers in my lifetime is basically him, marshall, like a year of curtis conway and superstar Marty Booker I shouldn't be surprised since you guys never had a QB but this is a pretty sad list. The franchise record for career receiving yards is just over 5k. 2 RBs in the top 10, 3 other guys listed as Left End or Flanker which means they played in the stone ages. And Ditka.

So if Tyrod hits the market he's the guy everyone who needs a QB (who isn't in the Romo market) will be gunning for? I mean you'd rather have him than Cutler at this point just in case there's any upside left right? Well should be to my mind, but there are reportedly dumbass teams going after Mike Glennon.

Spoeank posted:why does Washington hate Kirk Cousins so goddamn much I think it's half he doesn't want to sign with them, wants to hook back up with Shanahan and he's let them know that. Plus the 49ers can give Cousins all of their money since Shanahan is running the show. Which of course means Washington should raid the 49ers draft picks, but instead I guess they think they can win now? I don't loving know, the Skins are a mess.

Yeah Jackson's probably the closest recently. I don't believe he's anywhere near the player Jeffery at his best could be but Jeremy Maclin was coming off a 1300 yard year when he went to FA if we're just looking at stats (although that was easily the best year he ever had). Without the benefit of hindsight maybe Mike Wallace  It sounds dumb now but he was considered a big get at the time.

evilweasel posted:I literally can't think of one. Brees wasn't healthy and had been replaced. Even after researching it I'm not sure there are any others - every other moderately successful QB signed in free agency I can find wasn't really wanted by the previous team. Tyrod Taylor is about as good as it gets if you include young and healthy there recently, although he was completely unproven so might not count for the question. I swear there was a searchable site for historical free agent signings but I can't find it right now. Spotrac is ok but only goes back a few years. e: If you want to go way the gently caress back Len Dawson was traded then cut before signing with the Chiefs, but that's another case of him being completely unproven at the time. I'm sure there are plenty of guys like that, especially early on. But an actually highly productive player under 30 with no physical problems I'm drawing a blank on.

kiimo posted:Which native americans do the chiefs use as mascots again? Even if it's officially (half) whitewashed the fans take up the slack.

Leperflesh posted:Yeah but OK, so Mayor H. Roe "Chief" Bartle, who was instrumental in moving the Dallas Texans to KC (in 1963, not the 50s), was part of why they named the team the "Chiefs," but yeah I mean they still dressed up the team with native american imagery, and they still do the loving tomahawk thing in the stands at every home game, etc. etc. I expect hardly anyone looking at them today knows about "Chief" Bartle. It's just "the tone-deaf native american culture-appropriating team that is less racist than the Redskins so we give them a pass, because come on, the Redskins are you loving kidding me?" Yeah I know when the Chiefs came, Bartle was elected in the 50s and was out by the middle of the 60s so I think it's fair to call him a 50's dude. Also the fans blatantly stole the tomahawk chop from the Braves, who in turn stole it from the Seminoles, who in turn appropriated it from the...er, Seminoles. There was absolutely nothing about Native Americans implied with the name originally! Arrowhead Stadium was....It was....named...because... of a nearby road! That's it.  Uh...this was, just...hmmm.....

I really thought Billy Volek was going to be something. I mean with all of the quarterback bullshit going on today how did the Chargers trade for a guy to be nothing but a backup at +60% completion %', and close to 2/1 TD/INT ratio? 6.7 Y/A is not good I guess, but still. e: Oh hey look, let's compare Mike Glennon at just under 60%, exactly 2/1 TD/Int and 6.5 Y/A.

Kalli posted:Not surprised by that at all. I could see a team willing to pay $5m and hoping, but then the stuff from his camp was like he was expecting a multi-year deal at $10m+ and you guys know he's 32 right? I suppose on the bright side he hasn't been used a whole lot the last few years, but the most successful guy I can think of like that was Marcus Allen and he never ran for more than 900 yards after he was 32, with 207 being his highest carry year. He did get 46 TDs after that though, which is pretty impressive. Curtis Martin ran for almost 1700 yards at 31 (a career high even) but then retired after putting up 735 yards in his 32 year old season.
