Being no 1 QB on the browns is surely a low bar right?

I mean, higher than the Jets at this point.

San Diego State is probably less maddening to follow and more fun to go to games to watch anyway. Assuming they have somewhere to play in the city.

I'm definitely not a put em in skirts guy but this seems barely worth reporting unless it's dislocated enough to fall off.

And after googling he's been playing with it since last October, so yeah.

Joe mixon cuts like a loving madman. His burst is ridiculous and you absolutely notice it. If the line can block he's gonna have a monster year.

Some of the draft thread guys disagreed with me but I thought he was super and worth a mid to late first round pick based on talent alone (as in if you were to ignore everything else Joe Mixon). Just every time he was on the field at OU you were like "Oh...so that's why Bob Stoops didn't get rid of him."

I'm honestly more annoyed at myself for writing 'he was super' than the burn. I think I meant to write he was super talented and then decided I didn't want to use talent twice in a sentence.

...the construction of a post.

And as for Larry Johnson, he was interviewed back in the spring and it seems like he finally turned his life around so good for him.

Good for him but gently caress him anyway.

I'm still bitter that I defended him after Dick Vermeil put out that "time to take the diapers off" quote in the press and then Johnson went on to be the biggest most immature baby of all time.

So were the 49ers. Strangely enough, the same amount of quality football was practiced today as yesterday.

Who are the 49ers quarterbacks this year again?

Not Blaine Gabbert, backed up by also not Blaine Gabbert, with third round pick not Blaine Gabbert and UDFA not Blaine Gabbert fighting for the third spot.

Too late, I got tired of waiting and looked it up. Brian Hoyer and three guys who are actually worse than Blaine Gabbert.

I can't believe CJ Beathard even got a look, let alone was drafted in the third.

I guess the purpose of the drill is trying to high-point the ball but...well you don't play football with volleyballs.

Chiefs are a Tyreek or Kelce injury away from being a 6-10 team

Tyreek is built more solidly than I originally thought when I read his height/weight, but yeah I worry about that little guy getting crushed and breaking everything eventually.

To save Raiders fans the joke: "like the women of KC worry about themselves."

Then again you're part of the fanbase who thinks Bruce Gradkowski was an above average starter, so making snap judgements is probably your thing

The near universal Bruce Gradkowski love in the Raiders fanbase is the most damning thing about the last years of Al Davis.

We can all point to busts with good football names, but who's the best player with a bad football name?

Dick Butkus? I don't know if that's objectively a bad name or not, a completely cruel name to give a child though.

Just glancing down the hall of fame members and these strike me as bad but we all have different opinions.

Herb Adderly
Curley Culp
Weeb Ewbank
Tom Fears
Pete Henry
Clark Hinkle
Elroy Hirsch (although he's completely saved by the nickname Crazylegs)
Ollie Matson
Pete Pihos
Arnie Weinmeister

If the Jets ran Hack out there all season like he was rookie Peyton Manning, he'd probably crack 25 guaranteed and most likely 30 no problem.

I think it's possible Hack might have a form of ball security in that he's just so inaccurate that defenders just have to be lucky that they're in the right spot.

His central argument seems to be that we signed Anquan Boldin. By that logic, the Jets aren't tanking because they signed Josh McCown.

I mean, Anquan Boldin was once a good player at least?

I believe he has a point that the Bills aren't tanking as much as the Jets are, but that's stepping over a bar that's buried in the ground.
