Are they going to win a super bowl without him?
I love 2000 miles away and even I am getting nervous watching this neverending rain.
It must be fucking torture to live in Houston with that uncertainty.
Lets all pray that it stops raining soon so the cleanup can start and that no one dies or gets hurt from all this bullshit.
The picture he posted of the San Jacinto highway was wtf.

The joke is they're not going to win a Super Bowl. Who they start or pay is meaningless, and the fact is if Stafford retired tomorrow they'd make him pay back the signing bonus, just like they made Megatron
Stay safe, Texas-NFL-GAF.

Lions and Matthew Stafford agreed to five-year contract expected to make him highest paid player in NFL history, a team source told ESPN.
The biggest contract for the biggest QB

Florio said today that the Lions could have gone the Cousins route with Stafford. They could have used year to year tags to lock him up for 4 years and only paid him $120m during those 4 years. The best part for them would have been in that case if he got hurt of his play fell off they would not have been on the hook for anymore years.

They probably aren't. But if you are working in the Lions (or any other NFL teams') front office) are you going to constantly blow it up and suck until the next Peyton Manning comes along?
Buy his own. "Staffords Corral"

I don't think they should have blown it up either but they should have gone year to year with Stafford while trying their best to get a good QB to replace him. Maybe next year you draft someone and then you let them sit behind Matt for a year and hope they develop. In that case you only have to pay Stafford for 2 years rather then 4.

Outside of being stuck with Matt Stafford, the deal is good for Detroit now that we have the details. Stafford got $60.5m guaranteed spread over 5 years and he is totally cuttable in 2020.
Now with a chocolate fountain in every corner!

I'll be sad to see Joe Haden leave. I understand why though don't get me wrong.
Just like how I fell in love with the sexy arm cannon of Derek Anderson I remember Joe Haden basically being the first draft pick the Browns took that I knew what he could bring.

Would you even want to tie up your franchise tag like that?
Meh, this is the same trash everyone said about Manning and the Broncos. Two Super Bowl appearances happened and another mvp and you all shut up. Grow some positivity. It is not funny.
Has been released.
Hi bread you fucken cuckold magnet.
See the reactions from Detroit fans everywhere, they are happy, it's what they wanted to happen and i'm sure it's enough for their higher ups for now. If Stafford doesn't improve on playoffs for the next 2/3 years there are terrible teams like mine who would be very tempted trading for him because they don't have any better.
He's scrappy. Student of the game. Deceptively fast. High motor.
He's white? Dammit! Terrible trade!

Baalke signed him to a ridiculous extension as his last major GM action before being fired.
He's really fast, probably one of the faster TE's in the game rright now. He also has extremely inconsistent hands and drops really easy passes.
Overall he's a decent tight end but his contract is insane. For a 4th rounder you guys did alright.
Where in Sugar Land? I've been watching the Brazos River the past two days also, though honestly I'm stuck as is everyone on my block even if we wanted to leave.

Which team do you like?
Because my team's current QB situation is Joe Fucked-Up Back, Ryan Mallett (thank you Mech), and a guy whose NFL experience is Bears Practice Squad and Bills Offseason Roster Member, and I'm on the record right now saying I prefer this fucked situation over having any year of Stafford on the depth chart

Vance is good, I look forward to seeing him get a playoff win in 2018

Is Ty Hilton the only healthy player on the Colts that matters now?

If he had hands, he'd be a top 10-15 TE. He's big, fast and a good blocker. But his hands are worse than VDs. Maybe he will turn a corner. I liked him!

He has been in the league for 8 fucking years and has 0 playoff wins and a has never won a game against a team with a winning record on the road. I really do get that football is a team game but at somepoint you have to make a play to elevate your teammates. Fuck that cowboys game a few years ago was totally winnable and he fumbled on the final drive. Man the kas' of the world are winning.

So the Saints defense hasn't given up a point yet in this preseason. I am trying to ignore the hype but I think I am failing.
I keep telling myself we have't played any competent offenses yet, not sure about the Chargers, and no offenses are scheming yet vs. our defense.
But at a minimum this means at least we finally have decent fundamentals and athleticism across the depth chart. I hope at least. Biggest improvement so far is definitely at the LB position followed by CBs.

Jaguars.
This fanbase would love a guy like Stafford, we aren't even close to being a playoff team, you guys won the Super Bowl not long ago. Teams like the Jags, the Browns, would do as trade for him in a heartbeat.
Flacco will be fine.
Some suburb of Houston.
The city is so fucking big I really have no sense of direction there.
Thanks for the replies. Regarding the contract, from Caplan:
While McDonald is signed through 2021, PIT can get out of his deal if they cut him by 4/1/2018. $3.7m for 2018 becomes fully gtd on 4/1.
I'm guessing the 9er's are eating the signing bonus. Great trade if so.

Football is almost here.
Recovery is going well from reports and if he's on schedule, he can start practicing in October. The question is if they play him his rookie year. He's missed all of OTAs, training camp and preseason and half the season. Even healthy Rookie CBs in general need some time to adjust, and considering he'll be working on getting back into shape and understanding the playbook, there's some people that think he'll just be stashed on IR so he can be 100% healed in 2018 and not have his confidence shaken. Plus if he doesn't play this year, then in 4 years he'll be a restricted FA instead of a full FA. On the other hand, people close to him say he's basically dying to get back on the field and play this year, but the coaching staff hasn't said their plans yet. I think they'll decide around the bye if the team is making a playoff push, and work him in as a rotational piece if they are. If the season is looking dire they'll probably just IR him
