Should've brought your WiiU
Random thought:
I see a lot of Denver fans talking about the "newfound" run game. Didn't they say the same thing last year when Moreno was tearing up the league for all of December? I swear this almost feels like Deja Vu. I didn't watch the Broncos game yesterday, was it as close as the score indicated? Did Buffalo give them a run?

I'm positive about everything else though!

Yes I do. I would love to see Chip work with him and see how he does in this system. Hell Foles and Buttfumble have won games in this system and Kap is much better then either of those guys. I would love to get IRGIII to. Give me all the busted read option guys. We could have a QB competition where the first guy to sucessfully read a page of the playbook gets the job.
Not at all. I do think we're probably done with college style one-read QB's who get their pre-snap reads from the sidelines. That was a fun little experiment after the NFL allowed the helmet headsets to stay on so late into the playclock, but it's proven a lot less effective in the pro game. I think you'll see teams start to value football intelligence again.
Sorry Jameis.

.The Falcons will pull the huge upset next week against the Steelers.
I can't shake the feeling that we'll lose out and finish 8-8

I think Russell Wilson is the only one left that's still good.
Wasn't it one of the giantbomb guys that did this? Maybe I should have!
Marriota is going first if not top 3 and he's in the system you just described. There's no getting around this, it's how they play the game at the amateur level.
Edit: Guys like Rodgers and Romo are mobile but they aren't athletic freaks, I'd take them!

Rodgers is going to play angry and throw for like 6 or 7 TDs.
Can't wait.

Dillfer said that Winston had the highest football IQ of any college QB, so maybe he will be okay after all.
^ I mean, at some point you'll be wrong on enough QB's that you'll stop talking about QB's right?
I haven't really heard many people say that he is incapable of playing smart football though. That was always the knock against Kap in college, and RGIII once he started working in an NFL system. I like Mariotta and think he can be a successful pass first quarterback.
I'm not saying anyone out of that system will fail, I'm saying that system itself will fail. You need to have quarterbacks who can dissect a football field with their own eyes.

I think there's something that needs to be said for drafting smart and capable quarterbacks. So the college game is played significantly different right? Then that means whoever you draft needs to be smart as all hell and unlearn a lot of what makes the college game so successful because that stuff doesn't work in the NFL. Isn't this what makes the best NFL quarterbacks the best besides talent? They're all obsessed with film and game planning...like 8 days a week.
It seems like you can draft a dude with character issues at almost any other position but the quarterback.
So basically Jameis is going to be awful and we all know it.

Yeah, the system makes him harder to judge (and the fact that he is surrounded by the best talent Nike can buy) but he seems to be able to progress through reads, sits in the pocket generally looking to throw first and in the games I've watched him, he has done a good job of climbing the pocket without totally vacating it, which leaves him able to throw accurately and is a huge skill lacking in guys like Kap, irg3 and Newton. Instead of shuffling up the pocket and keeping the routes alive, the tuck and run.

Football does nothing but decrease my quality of life.
What sucks for him is that he needs to be drafted by a team that can sit him for two years before he starts, but he'll likely be taken first by the Bucs and immediately thrown out there, get eaten alive, and become the butt of many jokes on GAF by November.
maybe..but against The Falcons?
Probably going to laugh at me but Kubiaks ZBS system would seem to be a fit for him. Heavy run , simple and quick short throws, no more than 3 reads and lots of bootlegs. Oh and no audibling ever.
Maybe Brett going full heel and will be on the Falcons sideline tonight.

I dunno, it looks to me like the Saints are in kind of a fucking awesome position to draft their next QB and groom him for a year or two.
Kaep would be amazing in Chip's offense. He is the least of the 49ers offensive problems...don't let all the fan hand-wringing and talk show know-nothings convince you otherwise. There are exactly zero QBs in the NFL who would be successful with the 49er offense at this point.
This is an ideal situation, but I'm not sure he falls that far. I think the best the Saints can draft is like 8th or so won't it be?
He's going to be Top 5 for sure I think. Hell if he falls that far the Niners will be around 15-16, I'd want them to trade up and grab him.
Barnwell had a nice breakdown this morning on how broken this offense is at this point.
No protection, no running game, predictable timing of plays, predictable calling of plays, no wide receiver separation...yeah...no QB could do shit with this dumpster fire.

If Jameis, Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson and Josh Gordon were all carpooling to court together they'd all toss the keys to Jameis. Born leader.
Darkest, ACC/AFC East love!
This weekend represents the last chance of one of my teams beating yours. I pray for a glorious win but yall are stingy.

we drafted glennon and freeman. Glennon there might be hope for and Freeman was a product of Raheem having secret college affairs with students.
Hopefully we do the right thing and draft someone worthy for once at QB. According to what I have read, our scouts have been at FSU games quite often this season. Maybe its a sign?

GG Chiefs-GAF. I expected us to win because of how we match on paper but Charles said fuck your couch and had that monster play. We still held him below 100 yards so old man Jackson is the only one to achieve it this season. Two allowed TDs to him though, unacceptable. I don't know what the hell was wrong with the defense in the first half but it was really disconcerting after how they played in Atlanta. Thankfully, we went back to our second half adjusting ways and prevented points in the latter half. I'm glad we didn't allow any receiving TDs, would suck to have been the first to allow it ha The injury train continues, choo choo! Cromartie out (rumor is it isn't serious, thankfully) John Brown went out (walked off on own steam so hoping not serious) Ellington getting hernia surgery so gone for the season.... Clearly the Football gods were not happy with us dominating the league all season and are shitting on us as hard as they can. The bright side was our practice squad running back ran all over KC for 100 yards jnc. We now have to play the most physical team in the league on a short week in their house after they shut out two teams in a row...weeeeeeee! We're still a flat out better team but we're so banged up that I'm not too confident. At least we'll get a nice long rest before playing the Chickens in our house where we're still undefeated! 7-0 at home, baby!
I'm pretty sure we'd have the tie breaker over you as I believe we have the best conference record and we'd be tied in division record in this scenario if you've only lost to DET which I believe is the case. You losing to Detroit cancels out us losing to SEA and you losing to NO cancels out us losing to ATL. Ah yeah, you lost to SEA so you have more conference losses as we lost to Broncos who are obviously out of conference.

Actually that is pretty big of him.
Most NFL players would not do that even though sometimes taking yourself out does benefit the team.
Remember Jay Cutler?
Ultimately what the Bucs should do should they indeed get the first pick depends entirely on whether or not they fire Lovie. If he stays, they shouldn't go anywhere near a qb. They should trade down and make the Jets or Titans or someone else pay draft picks out the ass to move up and get Mariota. At which point we start improving the dismal o-line. If Lovie is out and they bring in an offensive minded guy, then yeah, go for Mariota.
