Has any team managed to win the NFC South two years in a row since it was formed? I don't believe so.
Edit: Nope. Sorry Carolina but it's someone else's turn. Maybe you can nab a wild card.

Missy Franklin was looking good in London but she's 8 feet tall so....
That said, many of these athletes are under 18 but they look 25 :/
RIP ez

I just find it disgusting that the first thing that comes to many people's minds is to devalue his accomplishments as a player to justify if his stock happens to fall after the announcement.
As if the idea of people thinking less of him as a player due to this decision is out of this world impossible.

Well, here's the thing, he was never going to be a first or second round pick. He was a mid-to-late pick...always.
Sams is actually taller than I thought he was. I didn't see too much of him, but he had a good game against Georgia - although the entire Mizzou line looked like the '09 Giants against Georgia. Didn't see overwhelming athleticism from him, just a lot of motor and good pursuit on plays.

Good college player, not a great NFL prospect. He's a project. Barrett Jones was like a 3 time National Champion at Bama with a bunch of awards, but he was also a project. Rams drafted him and he's a long way from being an NFL player. Bad body type and lacks muscle. The NFL is for the 1% of the 1% of the 1% of football players
Best thing I can do is to talk about him like I would any other prospect. I didn't want Sam last week and I don't want him today.

I don't think anybody thinks less of him as a player or is devaluing his comments. We just like football, and we're to see curious how this affects things from a football perspective. At least that's the impression I got from the comments.

Can Dmitroff get out of this with job intact? Falcons seem 3-4 years away from contending again. Blank seems patient but...
Normally I don't you fire a coach of GM if the window closes. If they are good at their jobs you let them try and get the team to the next window. But with the Falcons, it just didn't seem like it was long enough/close enough. I think they need a good bounce back year
I don't see how anyone can look at this roster and think they're 3-4 years away from contending. That's Dolphins/Bills level.
Strong, deep position groups:
DB - CBs were the silver lining this season, S-wise: Decoud had a down year
WR
Deep, mediocre position groups:
RB
DE
Strong starter, thin depth position groups:
QB
LB
Weak, thin position groups:
OL
TE
DT - TBD since both Babs and Peters are FA
The team needs at least two new starters at OL and DL. The great thing about getting a LT is that you could slide Baker over to RT, which improves the line substantially...for 8-10 games.
My point is that even as a tweener he is a highly decorated collegiate athlete. Why is the first thing that comes to many people's minds to say he would have dropped to the 4th or 5th round anyway to somehow justify it like he hasn't been billed as a first 3 round kinda guy this whole time?
He was never billed as a 1st or 2nd round guy.
He's been identified as a 3rd rounder at best since the middle of the season. Hell, he was completely off the board before this season. That's what happens when you have 3 years of meh performance and then one big year as a senior.
Its because people were seeing CoSEC Def Player of the Year. It's The SEC SEC SEC, He obviously must be a first rounder.
I mean the same thing happened to Tebow, and his lack of sexual preference.
The number of highly decorated collegiate players that have been absolutely awful NFL prospects is endless. It really doesn't matter what a guy did in college if he doesn't project well to the NFL. Jason White won the Heisman then went undrafted and never saw a single snap in the NFL.
You saw what Bionic got banned for right? Don't venture out of the community dungeon.

There are so many inaccuracies with that Steelers trend I don't know where to begin.
First, the Ben/Haley thing was so six months ago. It's an easy thing to harp on so writers keep bringing it up. Second, Ike isn't going to be a casualty. There is zero depth behind him - if any high priced veteran gets cut, it's Lamarr Woodley. Third, Timmons has been worth every red cent - dude broke his hand like 8 weeks in and didn't miss a snap. His teammates didn't even realize it until after the game.

You don't think thin and mediocre O and D lines will take time to replenish?
Did you not read what I said? There's depth at the D-end spot, rotational depth that can be good in spells but needs a star. Basically, the status quo for the last 8 years with Kearney -> Abe.
DT is TBA. Peters and Babs are good players. They're good starters in this league, but neither are in the vein of, say, Rod Coleman during his prime but those guys are rare.
The offensive line is about two pieces away - and will be seriously bolstered if Baker can be moved to RT plus we don't know what we have with MJ since he was hurt before the start of the season. One LT and one guard will make a world of a difference on this team. MJ can play guard as well, so a new look offensive line with Matthews Blalock Fuckall Johnson Baker would be a solar system away from Holmes Blalock Hasley Reynolds/Konz Trueblood/Schraeder
A 3-4 year project is a rebuild routine. That's starting from the ground floor. This is a retooling with most of the pieces together. Especially since we actually have money to sign a good starter in FA.
I still assume that it was probably a post in here rather than out there.
it's nice and comfy here in the dungeon!
I still don't get it though... bannings seem more 'what offends me personally' than things that actually break the rules
the NFL was racist then
yeah, that must be it
Hasnt it always been like that though.
As we're discussing bans and our own getting capped off. I thought for sure a particular post was going to to get a ban giving the climate of neogaf the past 3 months . Was in the america falling behind internet thread , post was "what isnt america falling behind, besides school shootings" never did fall. I was surprised as hell
He did for 2 weeks

I'm using your words. You said the O line had no talent and was thin, and the d line talent while deep, was mediocre. IMO that's going to take time to rebuild. If you think a year or two, rock on.
that's why I love everything
I said weak, not no talent. And, again, you ignore the DT TBA portion - that's why I split it out into DE and DT.
Here's the thing: neither line group has to be great for this team to compete.
In fact, both groups were average (offensive line) and sort of good (defensive line - mostly because Abe and Peters), and we managed to make it to the NFCCG two years ago.
Between the two of them, we just need one of them to be good to compete in the conference with the offensive weapons on the outside and the young depth we've scrounged up in the last two seasons on the backside of the defense.

Where have you been, my Dolphin brother!?
Yeah, but in Sochi threads, right? That's the equivalent of saying "Pats suck" and no one ever got banned for that.
Unless that's the real reason bionic got banned. Deserved it, then.
