I did not mean it like that. I know Hawks fans are attuned to Russ' abilities. What I am saying is that Keenum doesn't have those physical abilities, even if all the intangible stuff is similarly hyped

damn
As a 21 year old rookie Matthew Stafford took over the worst team in NFL history, with a dislocated left shoulder willed the Lions to a victory of the Browns.
First thing I noticed with this pic was those toned biceps, triceps and forearms. Then I looked into his eyes and initially saw pain but through that pain you see sheer will and determination. That "im going to put the team on my back determination".
Now at the young age of 25 its been a great experience watching him grow as a Quarterback. That same killer instinct is in his eyes.
Despite our WRs leading the lead in drops, he is still putting up amazing numbers, with the best of them.

The Return of Kas.

So you're saying he's way better than the internet backlash says?
... nope, not buying it!
Again, I'm talking about his height in isolation. I don't have any idea how good he is as a player, but seeing him branded with the same TOO SHORT despite being over the 6 foot mark is a little surprising to me. That's all.
Speaking of height and proportions, though...
Carroll is actually closer to the camera in this photo.

Thanks fellas its good to be back. GG Browns GAF, Coldplay Im really looking forward to our matchup Sunday.
And can someone explain to me how Suh gets fined for the most textbook, clean hit ever, yet thug Packer offensive lineman are allowed to hold and chop block him at the same time?

:jnc @ Kas. I imagine it must've been hard not having an outlet these past few works. The worst is over now!

Glad to have you back, kas! This place just isn't the same without you.
I always assumed it was the Patriots after that game against New Orleans.

two of these statements are correct
Teddy is good but I like Mariotta better. That kid can ball and he can get so much better
I believe so. IIRC I checked the stats on the Lions ESPN page Tuesday or so, either way if Im Martin Mayhew, our GM, Im making a call to get another solid WR for a 2nd or 3rd round pick ASAP.
Im afraid Megatron may have one of those nagging injuries that bothers him all year.
It was like not masterbating for a month. And I saw Staffords name drug through the mud with the likes of Flacco.
With Matt Ryan falling off I can comfortably put Stafford in the Top 5 QBs in the league with Manning, Brady, Brees and Rodgers. Midget Wilson looked impressive last night though, gotta give him that.

Stafford in Detroit and Freeman in Minnesota really tips the scales in the division.
He's 19 so there's so much room to get better. But I still worry about him being helped a lot by bad defenses, good surrounding talent and a QB friendly system. Ideal college guys are like Cutler and Brees. Running a pro style offense with bad surrounding talent and really standing out vs quality opponents. You don't want Wuerfels or Bradfords
I really had no clue. Got curious though and remembered the washington post lists all sorts of stats:
Code:
1 New England Patriots 23
2 Detroit Lions 20
3 St. Louis Rams 18
4 Denver Broncos 16
5 New York Giants 16http://stats.washingtonpost.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232
I like to imagine that's 16 lost TDs for Peyton and 16 narrowly avoided interceptions for Eli.

Normally I'd lap this up but Elam is a rookie. Kind of premature to call him a bust.
Agree with Ngata. He's been like that for a few years though - space eater and not much more.
Rice not sure. I think it's just injury issues but he's looked just awful and nothing like the Rice of old. Yeah your o-line sucks. Deal with it.
edit: welcome back Kas. Lions for NFC Championship. I believe!

The thing I don't like about Bridgewater is he's not an elite athlete. I know he's listed at 6'3", but he looks 5'9". I don't think he's a system guy, nor do I think he has good talent around him. But how is he going to fare when he's on the Jags and he has a d-lineman in his face before he hits his back foot?
The person facing inferior defenses with superior talent while running a gimmick offense is Mariotta.
That post was about Mariotta, so we agree! Teddy is 20 and turns 21 this year. Teddy is so skinny. It's the same thing with Manziel. It's a good QB draft but there's no stud guy yet. There won't be a Luck but there's not a Stafford either
Can we agree that there are now 7 NFC teams for playoff contention?
1. Seahawks
2. Saints
3. Whatever the hell comes out of the NFC East
4 to 7.) Packers, Lions, 49ers, Bears
Barring a catastrophic QB injury to one of these teams this is how Im reading it right now. The NFC North needs to be settled, and itll be close. After that is the battle for the wildcard and I see no one from the NFC East or South making a dent.

Hey... Hey there, you guys haven't always been terrible. Remember Mark Brunell? He wasn't so bad.
Drop data varies so much. PFF has Brady and Stafford with 24, Peyton with 20. Football Outsiders and ESPN are much more rigid on what they consider a drop compared to Stats and PFF

That Purdue offense Brees ran under Tiller was not a pro style offense. I'm not as worried about "system" QBs, as long as they have one or two truly exceptional traits. I haven't seen enough of Mariota to feel completely sold on him, but Teddy seems close to a can't miss.
He looked amazing last year vs Florida and stood tall against some good shots. But their schedule is beyond cake this year. He's not getting hit by NFL talent are the rare occasion it happens
Well, just going on that then reordering based on drop rate...

Not even Russell Wilson can make prequoting cool.
Finally home, at the comfort of a nice keyboard rather than a touchscreen.
As far as Romo, you got the worst of him, as Romo defender Farooq pointed out. He had the bruised ribs coming into your game, not against Denver. Against Denver, he might as well have been playing the second team, but yeah they shouldn't have given up 48. That will be fixed.
Initially I bought into the idea that you guys had an elite, once every ten years defense. Watching the games in retrospect, I don't think that is the truth. The level of competition is mediocre on their best day, and even with that said, the opposing teams have pushed the defense into coughing up points. Not very many obviously, but looking back, every game the Chiefs have played thus far remind me of 2011 with Tebow.
Backups, terrible QBs, teams that are not very good offensively. It allowed the defense to keep the score low, and keep the offense in the game. Either the offense came through with a drive that won the game or the ST or defense came though.
Watching that season, and believing in that team as a Cinderella, I think I can honestly say that it's not sustainable. There is always a team that will come in, kick your defense in the dick, and their won't be a damn thing your offense or special teams can do about it. Look at NE, GB, DET, against Denver that year. Came in, slapped the defense in the dick, and the offense couldn't do jack shit about it. It's the same thing that KC will face when a decent offense comes in against them.
Great defense is a wonderful thing, but realistically it only matters when it is paired with a decent offense. In this game, as it stands right now, the offense has to be able to score to win it all. Defense serves only to return the ball back to the offense. If the offense cannot score, the defense will crumble eventually. It's just the state of the game.
But whatever I guess, I'm just a dude amongst 313.9 million other people. There is nothing special about me guessing how things will turn out. I very well could be wrong, but I feel like I've seen this scenario before. Time will tell I guess.
Weed and fried chicken? Is there a better combination? I think not.
Go back to the bat... I'm mean troll cave Deacon. Save your load for the Pats lifelongs.
Edit: Welcome back Kas. Now stay in the fort.
Not even Russell Wilson can make prequoting cool.
Your quote made me go back and actually see his quote, so all is well!
Fuck the Cardinals, bah!
Not even Russell Wilson can make prequoting cool.
I'm working on it, one step at a time brother! :^)
My understand of Tiller's offense has always been, and please correct me if I am wrong, that he used pro style concepts but his use of 4 and 5 man routes overwhelmed Big 10 defenses used to defending ground and pound.
But they were more advanced than the more simplified spread systems of Leach and Rich Rod
It's like fumbling the ball. You work on doing it less rather than trying to make it fit into your gameplan!
We need a gif of Russell throwing Skittles, on that bride in the Skittles commercial.
