Come on man you're worse than squicken!
I'd say it is so long as the interceptions are low.

Even the staffords of the league routinely hit it though.

First time a Dolphins QB has done it since Marino in 1994 so abso-fucking-lutely.
I said keep the INTs low.
First season Stafford hasn't thrown more than 15.
Fuck that! Maybe it would've been for Peyton who played like dogshit that game.
If you fumble on the 1 you deserve that being brought back!
I spent yesterday watching All-22 film on every one of his snaps for the year. Analyzing his routes, examining the strengths and weaknesses of every facet of his game. I have published my thoughts below.
He pretty good.

First time in 20 years? Second QB in franchise history? Yeah it's kinda of big deal for the Dolphins at least. Maybe not in the league.
I kinda accepted it a few weeks ago and so yesterday I was glad they lost and kept with San Diego because now I get to go see them next year for the first time.
He was at 12 I think, with 27 TDs and of course not all were on him so it's at least acceptable.

I don't think it would have hurt him. OBJ was drafted because of his intelligence and route running capabilities.
How old are you? I argue Tiki Barber was better. Tiki should have won the MVP the year Shaun Alexander's OL and FB won it for him. I will go to my grave saying that. OBJ is definitely the second best offensive player I have ever seen on the team though.
Rodney Hampton is my favorite Giants player so that's a hint to my age. Tiki was very good and you might say a better player, but he's not nearly as dynamic as OBJ was.

Yeah except Harrison didn't deserve the shit that he got.

i dont think im a jerk
You are a good person.
I just have to say - when they cut to the shot of Rodgers in the tunnel waiting to walk back out onto the field I got fucking goosebumps. When he went down I thought he was done. Godgers must have injected blood of Favre into him in the locker room and inherited some of Favre's intolerance to pain.

Mike Smith's firing puts that "We need to be tough!" speech in a whole new light.

At this point that might be the only way for the team to be free.

When he says Packers fans are jerks he just means EZ, since ez is kind of the face of the packers fans here. And he is definitely a jerk.
I really like Wheaton. He's not going to break a game open, but he's a steady possession receiver now. I feel like, not only is he understanding the offense better, but himself. Knows what he can and cannot do. To go from 6 receptions to 53 is a pretty great jump. He needs to become a slot guy, instead of a split end, because Martavis is going out there next year. So he needs to continue to work. I want to see him become effective at underneath routes and drags.
If these guys keep working hard, the skies the limit for this group.

I don't think we should cut Wallace, chances are we are getting rid of hartline and gibson, leaving us with Wallace and Landry a 2nd year player. We have too many other holes to add WR to the list in the offseason
Michigan football fans!
Guy quit. How can you bring him back? I wouldn't let him back into the facilities.
Harvin quit during the Cowboys game, dude was dealt just a few days later!! Gotta cut out cancer brahs

Wallace needs to go. His mediocre production isn't worth it, the guy is a cancer and the Dolphins coaches suck ass at managing these types of personalities.

Haha Mike Wallace really put an exclamation point on my argument against him.
100% agreed. I feel a little sorry for him considering Martavis came in and stole all his thunder.
Still. We need a guy to fly under the radar and Wheaton seems to be it.

Maybe it's more his work with the rest of the offense.
Seeing that fumble in real time.
There are no words to describe how horrifying that was as a Steelers fan.
We come into Indy with a juggernaut of a Colts team that destroyed us 2 months earlier in the same place. We easily outplay the Colts and ride a hot defense and hotter qb to a big lead going into the 4th quarter. After a Peyton INT (not sure if it was an INT or they turned it over on downs but I remember PeyPey was really sad) we are lining up for Bettis to run it in and cement what I was preaching about Ben to GAF and anyone who would or wouldn't listen to me about him being a future great.
Then it all goes wrong and it seems like it is happening in slow motion. That fat fuck can't hold onto the ball or was paid by someone to throw the game. I was watching with my family and some friends and it was all Steelers fans. The room gets deathly quiet. The way it does when something really bad happens or when a really attractive person farts. We watch in horror as our season and improbable playoff run (we were 5-5 and ran off 6 straight to make the playoffs as a wildcard, Ben came back from a minor knee injury midseason and it seemed like it was going to be a lost season for a really talented team that went 15-1 in the previous year) was about to die before our very eyes. It looks like there is no way the Colts don't score a TD and steal the win but out of the corner of the screen you see Ben step up and make the shoestring tackle.
It still felt like we were going to lose that game because that was one of the worst stomach punches I have ever felt during a sporting event and it was probably even worse for the team on the field. Thank God for Vanderdrunk for shanking that kick and assuring that we took our rightful place alongside the Broncos in the Championship game (where Ben threw like 3 or 4 first half TDs and did that ridiculous gun slinger celebration).
Um......ok?

That's what the kids are calling Vicodin these days?
I don't know how good OBJ will be but gotdamn at his one handed catches.
His practice videos are more impression than 98% of the receivers in the league highlights.

Giants used packaged plays a lot with Odell. What I mean by that the entire game was a package and he was involved in nearly every play.
In all seriousness, there isn't a route the guy can't run. Go, post, slant, crossing, sluggo, etc. You name it, he likely ran it. McAdoo moved him all over the field. Motioned him regularly into the slot, moved him back outside, out of the backfield, etc.
Eli targeted him an incredible 21 times yesterday. To say he was the centerpiece of our offense is an understatement.
Might grab a few gifs later today showing some of his route running abilities. To second what BigAT mentioned - he's just fucking good. The catch at the high point of the pass nearly 4 feet in the air and to come down with it one handed *banderas*.

Troy intercepted the ball, fumbled it, then recovered it and somehow the refs called it an incomplete pass.

Seems the Giants can never have more than one hot receiver at a time.

Rex Ryan could do work with that 49ers defense.

Fun.
:lol I remember that play.
He rolled around, did his hair and took like 2 steps and somehow it was an incomplete pass.
Refs were so bad in that game. But Hawk fans take notice. Winners don't let shitty refs hold them back. They take what is rightfully theirs!

Stats for yesterdays game:
ODB - 12 catches, 184 yards, 1 TD.
Reuben Randle - 6 catches, 158 yards.

Hakeem Nicks, Victor Cruz, Mario Manningham in 2011?
Steve Smith, Hakeem Nicks, Mario Manningham in 2009?
All the names being floated by Jed and the front office suck. They should be embarrassed to talk about replacing harbs with the likes of: Gase, McD, Kyle Shannahan and Jim Mora. That's pathetic.
Not a shot at Gase or McD, but it's so tough to evaluate when you're coaching the GOATs.

You're calling Mario Manningham, Steve Smith and Reuben Randle hot? Were any of those guys ever consistently good?
Nicks had a year but went on vacation and never returned. Cruz explodes, then carries the team seemingly by himself then gets injured just as ODB gets on the field. Seems unfortunate is all.

If Browns are serious about building a good team they need to TRich Manziel ASAP.

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
From week 4 onward, the Lions beat writers have all been adamant that Fairley isn't being brought back. They sense something (or heard directly) from someone in the front office that they just flat out don't trust the guy to take the money and continue to play well.
