Let Spinluck's disrespect and subsequent team karma be an example for the rest of you.



Ben is #2 right now and I don't think there's any argument.

Nah Brady and Rodgers are 1 and 1a. The rest of the list doesn't matter.

11 is 5 less than 10?

I know you're in Florida, but come on Gata.

Had Brady not been injured the Pats would have had a real shot of going 16-0 again that season. They didn't beat a single team with a winning record that season. The schedule was pretty easy.

 

[mysteriousmage09]

That clock kill. God damn.

 

[Drakeon]

How long can they tag him?

For as long as they want to, they'd pay him a ridiculous amount of money each year, but theres no limit.

According to this he is an unrestricted free agent in 2017

The franchise tag allows a team to keep a player from becoming an unrestricted free agent for one year. Presumably, they could tag him every single year.

 

[Kusagari]

Remember when Andre Johnson thought he could escape the mediocrity of the Texans by running to Andrew Luck?

lol

 

[Bowser]

Do you understand what a franchise tag is?

lmao

 

[Gigglepoo]

Rodgers to me is like a combination of Dan Marino and Steve Young. Accuracy of Dan Marino and mobility of Steve Young.

But Young was more accurate than Marino.

 

[shadyspace]

Baller clock kill.

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Forever remember this 48 hour period where the Jets, Browns, Skins, Raiders, Jags, and Bucs all won

 

[Dega]

that place is empty

 

[captive]

lol wtf

Mech, your people need you.

clearly sarcasm...

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Andrew Luck is Matthew Stafford with the benefit of playing in the worst division in the NFL. Its time to stop hyping this guy up as the second coming just because he pads his stats 6 times a year against CFL-quality teams like the Jags, Titans, and Texans.

except for the fourth quarter comebacks. That's where people love him, he's a gamer when it counts...

 

[Josh5890]

For as long as they want to, they'd pay him a ridiculous amount of money each year, but theres no limit.

Really? What were these players thinking during the last CBA talks when they agreed to it?

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

If they run into the Pats, they're fucked..

And I guess I just don't buy the whole "they advanced another round each year" thing. Last year they ran into the Bungles and gimped Peyton Manning. Even though the AFC is very weak I just really don't see a Super Bowl team unless Luck plays historically well this season, and that's not off to a good start.

They're not making the super Bowl. Just showing you the logic.

 

[Trey]

the crop of new posters this season is really something.

 

[Kusagari]

Forever remember this 48 hour period where the Jets, Browns, Skins, Titans, Raiders, Jags, and Bucs all won

Nope

 

[grandjedi6]

That empty ass stadium

 

[bob_arctor]

2-0 incoming, gents. Feels good.

Jaguars in first place for the first time since Week 14 of the 2010 season. First time in 73 weeks.

The franchise tag allows a team to keep a player from becoming an unrestricted free agent for one year. Presumably, they could tag him every single year.

I'm surprised the Player's Union aren't doing much about that (or if they ever did?). I would think they would want the player to be allowed to change teams whenever he wants when his contract expires.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

I love how the Colts talked about not wanting to have Luck end up like Manning and yet here we are. What was the GM doing?

 

[Josh5890]

Forever remember this 48 hour period where the Jets, Browns, Skins, Raiders, Jags, and Bucs all won

Just imagine how much that parlay bet would've paid out.

 

[Elfforkusu]

How much would that run?

A lot?

I don't remember the exact rule, but IIRC it's something like the average of the top 5 salaries at the position + a decent %.

 

[Crisco]

Wait, whining about Luck's supporting cast? Meanwhile Cam's #1 receiver is Ginn Jr. and Oher is protecting his blindside lol. The Luck defense force is blind crazy.

 

[Isak_Borg]

2-0 incoming, gents. Feels good.

We'll find a way to fuck it up.

Your fandom is blinding you.

We're talking about right now. Brady is physically a shell of his former self.

It doesn't matter though. Mariota is gonna be better than everyone in 2 years!

I guess in Tennessee, just showing up counts as a win.

 

[brentech]

Really? What were these players thinking during the last CBA talks when they agreed to it?

That they didn't want to miss real game checks.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

Really? What were these players thinking during the last CBA talks when they agreed to it?

If they did that he'd make like $25 million every year. Quarterbacks have it good under this current CBA.

Look around the league, every single first or even second tier QB is on the team that drafted them, with the exception of Drew Brees, and he blew up his shoulder before SD decided to let him walk.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

The colts play the AFC south the next 3 weeks so they should be 3-2.

 

[TheApatheticOne]

As a Colts fan, I let Luck walk. I love the guy too much to see him stuck with this nonsense.

First Colts game since the "down" year with Curtis Painter and Dan Orlovsky that I've turned off.

I havent liked Pagano or Pep at all. Grigson Im not thrilled with. If it takes this to clean house instead of treading water for the next few years then lets just go ahead and set the fire.

Im not a gambling man, but when the Patriots roll to town, I dont really care what the spread is... that might be an "all-time" beating. They'll have to bring in Jim Ross to start screaming "BAW GAWD, stop the damn match! They've had enough! You've proved your point, Tom Brady! You monster!"

 

[Miracle]

But Young was more accurate than Marino.

Well I'm biased because Marino was probably my favorite QB.

 

[Lionel Richie]

Ryan Fitzpatrick lead Jets offense.....

Chris Ivory lead the Jets offense. And I'm a huge Luck fan and a Colts homer but come one man, Andrew played a ungodly awful game. Not Kaepernick awful, but pretty damn bad.

Edit: I'm not at all excusing Grigson or Pagano or Pep or any of the shit coaches and bad roster from this. But Luck played down to their level tonight.

 

[bob_arctor]

We'll find a way to fuck it up.

Hahaha Perfect.

 

[friskykillface]

Luck going to Houston

its time

 

[Bowser]

Really? What were these players thinking during the last CBA talks when they agreed to it?

The franchise tag will entitle Luck to the annual average of the top 5 highest paid QBs, which was $18.8m this past season. Then after that, he gets the higher of the top 5 average or 120% of the previous year (which would be $22.5m). And that number is only going to get higher every season.

So yeah, the players happily restrict their movement for the chance at that kind of dough.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Wait, whining about Luck's supporting cast? Meanwhile Cam's #1 receiver is Ginn Jr. and Oher is protecting his blindside lol. The Luck defense force is blind crazy.

People talk about the crap offensive line and WRs for Cam, too. That doesn't mean he's as good of a QB.

 

[Drakeon]

It doesn't matter though. Mariota is gonna be better than everyone in 2 years!

Brady has looked pretty fucking good these last 2 games.

 

[RBH]

Jon Gruden stands around in the players' hotel and looks at how big they are, confirmed!

 

[FloydtheFathead]

In Chris's Fantasy League, Who is Hawaiian Pineapple. I'm curious is all.

 

[Starphoenix]

Watching Andre Johnson, it's clear to me Matt Schaub made him. Time to hang it up because Schoob isn't walking through the door.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Andrew Luck is Matthew Stafford with the benefit of playing in the worst division in the NFL. Its time to stop hyping this guy up as the second coming just because he pads his stats 6 times a year against CFL-quality teams like the Jags, Titans, and Texans.

 

[Link]

Oh my god, the Jets are going to win this game.

 

[Dega]

Luck going to Houston

its time

The stars are aligning

 

[Sweeney Tom]

Nope

Oops, got that one wrong, fixed. Moral victory at least considering they're still less fucked than at least 3 other teams

 

[Kusagari]

Imagine if the Colts had taken the bad publicity and kept Arians.

 

[msdstc]

Your fandom is blinding you.

a shell that just passed for 466 yards on a top tier defense, whose blind?

Brady looks pretty good right now.

Told you!

 

[perfectchaos007]

Luck going to Houston

its time

Yep. Time for Luck to come home

 

[Miracle]

It doesn't matter though. Mariota is gonna be better than everyone in 2 years!

I think Mariota is going to be a huge threat in the league too. Better than Rodgers though is another story. But I guess we will see. Mariota is already very accurate.

 

[Josh5890]

Don't forget Jay "Why is he still my team's starting QB" Cutler.

But yea, starting QB's trading jerseys is a rarity.
