You need to stop.

You can't keep blaming all your problems on me when your fraud ass team was already on something like a 6 game losing streak by then.

These are still the Pedophile Recruits. Stunningly like none of those guys left. He's done meh with meh.

I like him too I just can't figure out why.

I like guys who restore programs/teams or build them up. It's why I think Art Briles could be a good coach in the NFL. O'Brien had to salvage a really shitty situation at PSU. I agree it's been mostly meh, but it didn't go to shit, which I think most people expected it too. He also got good mileage from McGloin and it looks like that Mackleberg or whatever is going to be pretty solid. Texans have an obvious need for someone to work with a young QB

His size is the first thing I noticed about him. Russell might be short too, but it looks like he has some mass. Manziel is gonna have to make impeccable use of his footwork if he doesn't want to get pummeled into the turf.

Agree. He has moved from being a runner to more of a scrambler, and threw the ball better this year. But he still runs when he gets confused. Ideally he would stay in a year and keep improving, but that's not going to happen

I have the same worries as far as size about Bridgewater as well. He plays tonight against a not terrible Miami team

Manziel @ 1 would be fantastic. From the draft reports and stuff I've read people are relatively high on him despite his size and other stuff because he has shown continued improvement.

Because that leaves Bridgewater or Boyles, my two current inclinations, more likely to fall to us. As long as we don't do something stupid like win tomorrow.

Zelly will have a year to sit behind HoHoyer and Jcamp no worries. And I'm glad you brought up Teddy's size too. If anything he's looks the most lengthy and frail, but most ppl don't really worry about him taking many hits since he's more of pocket guy. Teddy still has some mobility though

Tim Tebow has 1 career playoff victory. The Houston Texans only have 2 in their franchise history.

They wish Manziel was as successful as Tebow!

I think people forget but Michael Dryer plays for Louisville too. He was on the championship team with Cam, Louisville seems to use all their back though.

I thought Morris looked pretty decent against FSU for about a third of the game, then FSU's talent took over. Interested to see what he can do vs a lesser defense

The Bears have allowed 11 100-yard rushers. One more & they match the 0-16 Lions (2008), for the most in one season.

He hasn't shined the way I was hoping he would this year, but he'll still have a chance to go in the first 4 rounds

Sports radio in Detroit is reporting that two high-level executives in the Lions' organization are saying Schwartz probably is going to keep his job.

I cannot begin to describe how pathetic that would be.

I can't begin to describe how amazing this would be. Getting in the playoffs, ruining the Bears postseason chances , AND getting Detroit to keep their shifty coaching staff, all in a down year for the Packers.

God is good.

Super random question but why did Atlanta trade Favre to Greenbay?
Click to expand...

After starting at quarterback for Southern Miss for four years, Favre was selected in the second round, 33rd overall, in the 1991 draft by the Atlanta Falcons. New York Jets general manager Ron Wolf had intended to take Favre, but the Falcons owned the pick before the Jets'.

Amazingly, Atlanta coach Jerry Glanville didn't approve of the drafting of Favre, saying it would take a plane crash for him to put the rookie into the game. Favre attempted only five passes his entire rookie season and promptly was placed on the trading block.

The Falcons, coming off a 10-6 record and operating out of a version of the run-and-shoot offense called the Red Gun, were committed to five-year veteran Chris Miller as the starting quarterback and Head Coach Jerry Glanville liked brash Billy Joe Tolliver as the backup, making Favre expendable in the third spot.

Also found this:


Our buddy Thom Abraham of WNSR in Nashville passes along a clip of a recent interview with former Falcons coach Jerry Glanville, who defended the decision to trade Brett Favre in blunt terms.

“I had to get him out of Atlanta. . . . I could not sober him up,” Glanville said. “I sent him to a city where at 9:00 at night the only thing that’s open is Chili Joes. You can get it two ways, with or without onions. And that’s what made Brett Favre make a comeback was going to a town that closed down. If I would have traded him to New York, nobody to this day would have known who Brett Favre ever was.”

Favre has been candid regarding his issues with alcohol and painkillers, which he eventually beat several years ago. (He was addicted to the same substance at the center of Ryan Leaf’s ongoing criminal woes.) Still, we can’t recall Glanville ever being quite so candid about the reason for the trade. He has mentioned needing to send Favre to a town that closes up early, but Glanville had never suggested that Favre’s problems were essentially continuous.

fwiw I do agree with Glanville on trading Favre. By all accounts he was a disaster in his personal life. Not like he was great (with his demons) at GB, but at least he became functional

Imagine if Stafford was sent to a city with no delicious comfort food! He'd be a lean, mean, non-slothful machine!

I heard Mort on the radio today say that the Lions are leaning towards bringing back Schwartz but firing his whole staff. LOL if they actually do that. Kas is going to be the only Lion fan left.

I was pretty bullish on Stafford until the end of the year. But he just really seemed to hit a wall with getting better. He also seems downright bad at taking snaps from under center, which is pretty troubling for a guy this deep into his career, not matter how young he is

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
