Volkerball posted:well compete for a super bowl for 3 weeks until romo goes on ir McClain is saying that the Texans aren't interested in trading for Romo, only going after him in FA. It's entirely possible Denver could get Romo and Houston would have been more than willing to trade away Osweiler just so he's off the team. Or maybe Jay Cutler

Volkerball posted:They could go Cutler and a 1st or 2nd on a QB in the draft if they didn't want to trade for Romo. Romo would probably give them the best chance in the short term though. not arguing that; just funny that if McClain is right then the Texans just wanted Osweiler gone and it may not have even been due to Romo

Intruder posted:It's bullshit in general because almost every player is going to go for the maximum earnings, Tom Brady's situation shouldn't be held up as the norm Even if it weren't, Romo's contract has always been structured in ways that were friendly to (and determined by) the team. He's restructured every time they've asked to help make room for other players. Anyone making GBS threads on Romo about his contract is a loving idiot. But you knew that.

a neat cape posted:I was about to disagree, then I remembered Wilson and Cousins. I can't overstate how bad the Colts are, and how bad their personnel decisions have been. They're less talented than Jacksonville, pound for pound. Luck might make some questionable plays and he's not as good as he looked initially, but he's easily an above-average QB. So is Tannehill. I'll grant that Cam is better than Luck, but until we see a another good season out of Winston or Mariota, I think you can dial back the talk of them being better than Luck. I don't see how you can seriously make the Raiders <-> Colts comparison--the Raiders are significantly more talented outside the QB position, and have one of the league's best Olines--and probably *the* best at pass protection. Aside from Wilson and Cousins, I really think it's worth considering RG3 as well--he was absolutely ruined by Washington. Hell, even Osweiler, Foles, and Keenum were good enough to get second and third contracts. The main reason 2012's class hasn't looked ridiculously good ring-wise is because the previous HoF bunch (Brady, Manning x2, Roflberger, Brees) were/are still around. E: Actually this got me thinking about what a tier-ing of NFL teams by talent level would look like. Not like a power ranking per se, because you'd also have to include depth and it's possible for a less-talented team to be better if it has good people at the right positions, etc TheChirurgeon fucked around with this message at 01:46 on Mar 24, 2017 |

Kalli posted:It'd at least keep people's attention slightly which is good, but feels pretty gimmicky. Yeah, the other part of the problem is that even though the intent was fine--returns got much worse since players were much, much less likely to get past the 25, the percentage of touchbacks didn't actually increase (my rough/quick math puts 2016 at 56.8% of kickoffs, compared to 56% in 2015), because returners were just as likely to run it out and get smeared. I think this is partly due to perverse incentives, though--if you're a return specialist, you aren't being paid to take a knee.

It's telling that Sam couldn't crack the Cowboys' roster in a year when the team as a whole logged 27 sacks (28th in the NFL that season).

Kalli posted:It's fine if a guy is completely one dimensional if you can use him in that fashion. Like, with the Raiders' oline, using AD as a part time guy, that'd be fine. He'd be used like how the Patriots' used Blount, occasionally on 1st down, comes in on ... and short downs and in the red zone and as closer. If he's right, he's a steam roller you have to worry about, and helps sell the play action even if he himself isn't a receiving weapon. The Raiders still ran 65% of their run plays out of QB under center formations, so there'd be plenty of opportunities for him in the rule that suits him. I agree that he's not going to be the guy at 32 that he was at 25, but there are precedents for guys having good seasons post-30 and if any RB is going to do it, I'd be on AP. I mean, I wouldn't bet on him having 1500 yards or anything, but a good (1k+) season is very possible on a team with a good QB and a good line.
