I like the occasional reminder that NFL executives aren't very bright.

Yeah the crippled old man is going to come in and do just fine in a system he's totally unfamiliar with, after several months of sitting around talking and golfing.

Who is this?

quote:

Recently a top prospect — I won’t say who — was dinged by his college teammates. They hated him to the degree that they refused to attend any of his private workouts. That’s a huge red flag. An unfortunate NFL team ignored it and drafted him on Day 1. What happened? His new teammates ended up feeling just like his old ones. That’s a surprise? You don’t just suddenly flip from being a bad teammate to a good one.

I want to say Hackenberg but he was Round 2.

Didn't he also average like 3.5 yards a carry after turning 30?

My favorite Bettis game is where on five carries he got three touchdowns and one yard.

Friend of mine and I are in an argument. Peterson or Tomlinson if you could draft them this year? It has to be Tomlinson right?

I think it has to be LdT, yeah. Tomlinson was great at catching out of the backfield and picking up blocks in pass protection. He's just overall a better player all-around even if he might not be as powerful a runner as AP.

I was reading up on running backs because of all the Bettis/LdT/Gore talk and Clinton Portis is someone that's really frequently forgotten by NFL history

He missed the 10k club by 80 yards and had an incredible first two seasons in the NFL (attributable to the excellent blocking of the early 00s Denver OL) and a really drat good 3rd and 4th season (despite his YPC dropping off by nearly 20%)

If he hadn't gotten injured in 2006 he'd be regarded as a top-20 RB of all-time

I still think the 07 Packers had a really good shot of defeating the Patriots if Favre hadn't thrown that overtime pick

They got rid of the giant sweat patches, so I automatically approve.

Thank god, now I can stop bitching about them in GDTs. These things were loving awful and I'm glad the Packers never bothered with that crap.

Looking at the uniforms I don't like that the blue is lighter than it was before, and the steel grey is not really great. Will withhold judgement until I see them in action.

Consecutive snaps isn't really that great a record to have, though

Is it? It's a more accurate signal of longevity and consistency than games started, though, since he's playing on every single offensive play in every single game across that span. He's not taking plays off to rest or whatever.

At least this year will be better. Probably a Raiders Falcons Superbowl. I'm okay with either of them winning.

Falcons were one-hit wonders and will be exposed heavily this season now that the league has record on Quinn's schemes and thinking

seems weird that the Packers/Patriots/Cowboys only get one MNF game each, but these teams get two:

Vikings
Peyton-less Broncos
Lions
Redskins
Chiefs
Eagles
Dolphins
Falcons (This one is understandable)

I guess the Pack/Pats/Boys get more SNF games probably?

Remember when MNF was the marquee game? :lol:

Would Favre have been a goon if the forums existed back then???

Look at the rest of the players the Packers signed. They play Settlers of Catan, they buy comic book shops, they get Batman tattoos.

What I'm saying is:

Yes

Whaley was, sadly, probably the best GM the Bills have had since the beginning of their playoff drought. He didn't give lucrative extensions to marginal white defensive players over Jabari Greer and he didn't draft Aaron Maybin.

But he was still bad. EJ was, obviously, a massive whiff and Whaley was physically incapable of acknowledging Manuel should be a sunk cost. He gets a lot of credit for finding talent in the most obscure places (Lorenzo Alexander, Zach Brown, Chris Hogan, Mike Gillislee), but he was unable to retain most of said talent and his drafts were low-key disastrous. And, I mean, he somehow managed to burn through two coaching staffs in four years.
