NFL Offseason Thread 2015 |OT| All of our teams suck!
- Thread starter RBH
- Start date
I think there's a sense that Carr is pretty much who we thought he was this time last year, during the draft, at the start of the season, etc. Whereas with Bridgewater he had his bad pro day and fell in the draft. And then during the season there was a collective light bulb going off saying "Oh right, Bridgewater can fucking play".
If that makes sense.
But, the homeless guy.....

One of the greatest vikings QBs of all time!
Josh McCown not Freeman.
I don't get this fascination with McCown either. he could not make it on the Bucs after having his one "ok" season and he is 35 years old.
There are probably Jordan fanatics who believe that Jordan would have molded Manziel into an elite QB and that this is further proof of his superiority over LeBron.

From Jeff Howe:
"On Dominique Easley, everything is going according to plan. No surgeries or setbacks. Just strengthening the knee for a full run of OTAs.
That was the plan all along when the Pats IR'd Easley in December: Focus everything on 2015. That's how it has progressed to this point."
That's good news. It'll be like the Patriots are getting an additional 1st round pick if Easley can contribute more this season.

Well Magic actually would have.
Because that would involve giving the Raiders a small bit of credit.

The story is that Farmer had a big board in his office, and in giant, bold letters his QB evals were the center of the board. And listing he had "1. CARR (a better fit for the offense Shanny wanted to run) 2. BRIDGEWATER 3. MANZIEL
They hired an outside independent scouting team, they told them to take Teddy or Carr, they brought every single scout they had into the meetings, every single one, to a man, told them to take Bridgewater or Carr.
But Jimmy wanted Johnny, and that was all there is too it.
We have one QB on the roster right now.
One.
We need a guy just to hold the clip-board.
Man I really hope he pans out. We haven't had a solid interior pass rush in a while.
I laughed harder than I should have at this. Good work.

I hope so.
He really was fantastic over the last 5 games of the year. His season TD/Int stat line isn't super indicitive of his progression.
The teddy chants at TCF were great.

Damn, and the Bills almost looked like they'd be good for 2 full months too
Don't even compare Carr to Stafford. I actually like Carr, and liked him coming out of college, but at the end of the day in terms of physical ability to throw a football only Aaron Rodgers comes close in this day and age. Stafford is 27, Rodgers will be 32. Manning, Brees and Brady used to have those arms. Cutler does as well but his head isn't their like it is with the ones I mentioned.
And I still stand by opinion Andrew Luck is great, but overrated, and his throwing motion, delivery, overall appearance and tone of voice is awkward and goofy as fuck. He's lucky to be playing in the AFC South.
How the city of Indianapolis in the Midwest got lumped in the South I still don't understand but he's not as good as the media hypes him up to be.
EXACTLY! Fix the damn divisions!

RGIII needs to save us.
Or Bradford.
Or Sanchize.
Or literally anyone that's not Black Blaine Gabbert.

My favorite story a couple seasons back was the inside source from the Jags saying everyone on the team called Gabbert "Blame" Gabbert.
So petty.
So petty.

But he's the Real American.
I'm hoping he has a 2nd year breakout like Collins. He needs to add like 10 lbs of muscle this offseason though or it won't happen.

So "The Judge" was damn good. Downey and Duvall carry it the whole way through and keep you invested. Farmiga looked pretty nice with some weight on her. Cinematography was beautiful. The whole movie was better than it had any reason to be given the concept.

Don't leave out that it's absolutely gut wrenching and depressing.
Yup, awesome performances. I thought Farmiga was the worst part of the movie by far. Just bizarre portrayal.
Can't fix stupid
Yeah, I kinda want to read it, but just watching the PBS doc was pretty heavy stuff.

The scene between
Downey Jr. and Duvall in the storm
Gut wrenching at times, yeah. I didn't find it depressing though. If anything I thought it was kind of uplifting by the end.
EDIT: Not sure if this was posted:
Also:
Doesn't it have to be Wilson? Colts have the 5th year option for Luck, right?

quoting for emphasis
Yes but the Colts have the cap space available now. Wouldn't it be easier to build up the roster knowing how much your QB will be making?
Wilson could also drive the price up for Luck.

Why does luck have playoff wins and Stafford doesnt? By your own admission Stafford is the benefactor of an incredible defense and fantastic playmakers on offense

I really hope you guys sign him now
I'm not going to rehab you facetious fuck. Rehab is a waste of time and money, unless you're detoxing, which I'm not, and understand what the problem is.
Partying is tiresome and alcohol and drugs have been impeding me the last 10 years from enjoying and succeeding like a phantom pass interference call that ruins your Super Bowl chances.

The Bears should have drafted Bridgewater so that we could call him Teddy Bear.
I'm working in a psychiatric hospital this month.
My attending taught me about this syndrome called Koro last week.
What is Koro?
Well I'm glad you asked, NFL-GAF!

Luck is getting a few mil a year right now at least, I think there's more pressure on the Wilson contract.
And because Jay Cutler is a terrible terrible QB and person

Trade Jay to the Jags so they can call him Jay Jaguar.

It was bad enough having EJ Manuel be your only option after Orton left in the best way possible. "Fixing" the problem by getting fucking McCown is just cruel
At least dm's free from the mccown misery
At whom will this poop be thrown at?
