Breakdown of the NFL's best rivalry, SEA-SF. Something to tide you over until Peter King's new site goes live. I'm sure you guys lost sleep in anticipation as well

Pierre Garcon signed for $10m/yr last offseason. Dude done already broken out. Just needs to stay healthy

Valid point. But he's still not viewed as a legit #1, thus he still has some things to prove. To your point, he missed 6 games last year due to injury. If he played the entire season, I would have left him off my list.

Dick Sherman is writing a column for Peter King's new site. They also have a big video thing on Wussell.

I'm a big Garcon fan, though his decision not to have surgery on that foot, I think, is going to get in the bad graces of the fans if he gets hurt again

I think a lot of fans are way too eager to subject another persons body to the knife of a surgeon. Garcon showed that he's not simply anti-surgery because he had work done on his shoulder. This ligament in his toe, the docs said that surgery may not even fix it. So I understand his decision to try the rest option. And I'm sure he's done other things to rehabilitate it that we aren't aware of.

If it were to flare up again this season, I'd hope that he'd opt for the surgery in the off-season. At the end of the day, it's his body and I wish him the best.

I wasn't too familiar with Garcon until he came here and I'm happy to have him. Outside of his receiving skills, he's an tenacious run blocker and seems to be really integrating himself into the franchise. There are a lot of intangible things that I've picked up on that make his acquistion more than worth it.

Seeing the first day of Dolphins camp has got me very excited. LET'S GO!

Good morning, by the way. How was your weekend?

You and me both, brother!

My weekend was pretty insane. I went to Charleston, SC for my sister's wedding and ran around helping with that all weekend, so now I'm in recovery mode. It was a ton of fun though.

EDIT: http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/61298/dion-jordan-is-the-dolphins-wildcard

Jordan's shoulder was expected to be 100 percent by the start of training camp. But that goal wasn't met, which adds to the mystery of his role and further pushes Jordan behind on the depth chart.

Hmm... It's looking more and more likely that we won't see a whole lot from Jordan in his rookie season.

EDIT AGAIN: Good news for the Phins: http://miamiherald.typepad.com/dolphins_in_depth/2013/07/dolphins-camp-day-one-in-the-books.html

On a much more positive front, cornerback Brent Grimes looked great in practice today. Truly. He moved with ease following a season in which he missed all but the first game because of a torn Achilles. Grimes and Richard Marshall, who also missed much of last year because of a bad back that required surgery, were the first-team cornerbacks and got the better of the receivers today.

The most clear sign that Grimes is back is he wasn't even wearing ankle tape to stabilize the repaired area. "I never do, I don't like it," he said. ""No reason to."

Also, good to hear this:

Speaking of offensive line, right tackle is not an issure right now. Tyson Clabo, wearing No. 77, looks like a good, solid, professional. He's just ... good. Nice technique. Nice tempo. He knows what he's doing for the most part.

Horrible news for Egnew:

At tight end it was Charles Clay and Dion Sims behind Keller today. Michael Egnew was on the far field working with the third and fourth-team offense. So much for him having a great offseason. A rookie has already passed him, apparently.

There's so much news! I'm getting hyped!

ESPN's Perfect QB

 

[Talon]

Whatever vendor SI used to build their mobile site for MMQB has to be getting its ass reamed right now. Terrible performance.

LOL at Drew Brees' arm strength.

 

[Audible Phonetics]

Joe Flacco probably has a stronger arm than brees

 

[Talon]

AGod is probably first in all of those categories, other than flat our running speed, which is scary.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

I was just thinking the same thing, actually.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

He does.

It seems to me like they didn't want to give one QB more than one trait and they wanted to give all the big-name QBs a trait.

Thus he gets arm strength. Maybe you could flip Flacco and Brees (it takes guts to try and fling in some of the passes Brees does).

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Joe Flacco probably has a stronger arm than brees

I'd say definitely, but they had to fit as many QBs as possible on the list.

Argh. It's not the best rivalry.

Brady is god tier at leadership and game prep.

Erron is a whiny bitch who can't hold Tammy's designer form-fitting jock.

[Grover Cleveland]

To be honest I think my perfect QB would look like:

Arm Strength- Cam Newton
Decision Making-Cam Newton
Mobility- Cam Newton
Pocket Awareness- Cam Newton
Guts- Cam Newton





Accuracy-Aaron Rodgers

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Guts- Cam Newton

 

[RBH]

To be honest I think my perfect QB would look like:

Laptop stealing skills- Cam Newton
Moping on the bench skills-Cam Newton
Putting towel on his own head skills- Cam Newton
Doing touchdown dances when team is still losing the game- Cam Newton
Still a Falcons fan at heart- Cam Newton

Fixed.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Fixed.

Why can't you respect greatness like your QB, Cowardly Ryan?

That was a good decision (Hartsock was wide open), poor throw though.

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

Just for the heck of it:

Arm Strength - Aaron Rodgers
Decision Making - Tom Brady
Mobility - RGIII
Pocket Awareness - Peyton Manning
Guts - Andrew Luck
Accuracy - Aaron Rodgers

 

[Hitokage]

Forgetting to provide any thrust to the ball isn't a good decision!

@AlbertBreer NFL and NFLPA have made progress towards agreement to implement hGH testing for 2013 season.

Imagine how great Harrell is.

I'd give pocket awareness/escapabiliy (while not the same, they have the same goal) to the Rapist.

Guts? Stafford since he clearly has the biggest.

 

[Hitokage]

"Now hold on a second!"

 

[The_Darkest_Red]

*gross*

I'd give pocket awareness/escapabiliy (while not the same, they have the same goal) to the Rapist.

I'll take RGIII's mobility assuming he gets back to his former self. I never said I'd take his durability, though!

You raise a good point on the Rapist.

 

[Talon]

League update:

Uh oh.

 

[eznark]

"Now hold on a second!"

I didn't realize we were including backups. Sorry.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

OMG you monster! Don't you know posting pics of an injury adds 3 months of recovery time?

Uh oh.

NFL breaking news - 87 percent of the league has been suspended 8 games for HGH use.

Everytime that Freeman picture is posted, I just think of butter coming out of his pores, not sweat.

Jets update:

@AdamSchefter: Jets are working out former Colts WR Austin Collie today. Also worked out for NE, SF

 

[eznark]

I thought Collie retired because of head trauma?

 

[Futurevoid]

I thought Collie retired because of head trauma?

Nope. There were some articles calling for him to retire because of the concussions but he's still out there trying to get a job.

Jets are also bringing in former Ravens kicker Billy Cundiff. They'd like some competition for Nick Folk.

 

[Talon]

I guess Austin Collie is determined to die on the football field.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

He'll bounce his head off the ground in the preseason and disappear again.

At the airport waiting for my flight to Vegas (work trip sadly) - strongly considering making a wager or two, and I'll be back in September anyway.

I'm going to Hell for laughing at this.

Not that I've heard. I think he knows he's done.

Am the only one that doesn't give a fuck about PEDs as long they don't affect my team or the Pats or Ravens?

I think I might dislike my players if they are not roiding the fuck up and taking care not to get caught (unless it is the Pats or Ravens doing it, then it is disgusting and should be met with the most severe punishment possible). Harrison was one of my favorite players of all time and anyone with a brain could see he was on the best roids (remember his comment that he spent hundreds or thousands on dollars to get in NFL shape?) known to mankind.
