I get what you are saying about quality of life after football. When you said he was done, I just assumed you meant he couldn't go.

He proved last year he's going to try to go. Doesn't mean he should

 

[WedgeX]

Cannot believe just how married Caldwell is to this:

to keep him over a newly drafter quarterback as backup.

 

[Futurevoid]

Jerry Reese better be on the damned phone with Sitton's agent like right now.

I posted it already, but Ross Tucker (A former journeyman offensive lineman) wrote an article about Romo's situation. Choice quote:

It really comes down to this: I don't know many (any?) guys that have had spine injuries like we have yet feel totally fine these days. Those guys just don't seem to exist. I actually feel pretty decent most of the time, but I am very conscious of avoiding anything that could potentially aggravate my back, which has bothered me off and on since I hurt it in 2004 and subsequently had surgery on it in 2005 with Buffalo. I've learned that lesson the hard way too many times and basically don't do anything that could compromise how it feels. It's just not worth it.

That's why I don't play golf or basketball, two things I thought I'd do when I was done with the NFL. Almost all of my workouts (swimming, elliptical, stairmaster, yoga, stationary bike) to stay in shape specifically involve things where my body does not impact the ground at all. I'm very conscious of things like how soft a chair is or even the angle of the back of the chair when in a restaurant. My comfort and enjoyment of the meal depends on it.

As you are well aware, you have had two surgeries on your back already, including one to repair a herniated disc. You've previously fractured a few bones in your back. Now you have a compression fracture of your vertebra. That's a lot man, and we aren't even talking about the three separate times you have fractured your clavicle. Maybe your body is telling you something?

It's crazy to think with 7 billion people on this planet there isn't 30 guys who can play QB at a proficient level. It's a shame so many teams are stuck with a useless fuck at the most pivotal position in the game. I am truly #Blessed to have Russell.

[Colasante]

So DT Anthony Johnson, UDFA CB Jonathan Jones, and TE AJ Derby all made the Patriots roster. Glad to see a cutdown day without any patented Belichick head scratchers.

So how many qbs are the roster six?

 

[bigosc2k]

Marcus Rush got released, but yet that bitch Michael Wilhoite is still on the team what the flying fuck!

 

[Eleuin]

Talked briefly with Josh Sitton and he told me that there was no showdown over his contract. “I was prepared to play the season,” he said.

 

[Slo]

Moritz Böhringer cut.

 

[Zvonimir Boban]

We live in a world where people are trying to talk themselves into believing in Sam Bradford and others are annoyed they missed out on Mark Sanchez.

I love everything.

Wow Pennsylvania is a lot prettier than I thought it would be. Gotta visit Philly, Yankee's been hyping it for years....

Philly is the Sam Bradford of cities.

Give Tony shit for being a choker or whatever, but the man's got heart like no one else. Came back from cracked ribs & a punctured lung just to help us beat San Fran.

Is it a problem with a lack of talent or a problem with the coaching?

Ain't no one tougher than Big Ben (concerning qb's).

 

[Zeke]

Moore, Showers, Johnson, Sanchez, Romo and Dak. QB by committee it's gonna be the new trend in the NFL.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Moritz Böhringer cut.

Why exactly is he a feel good story?

 

[HarryDemeanor]

Why exactly is he a feel good story?

He's German.

 

[Elfforkusu]

Why exactly is he a feel good story?

1. one foreign player makes an NFL roster
2. ???
3. football an olympic sport, infinite US gold medals

Boom, roasted

Elandon Roberts was the biggest surprise for me. Thought he was a prime practice squad candidate after gutting it out on Thursday. I guess making the week 1 roster was his reward.

Injuries happen, but there are some that can play through injuries. It's a part of the NFL, especially late in the season. Normally it's not the rookies toughing it out.

 

[Futurevoid]

Well now I'm confused, then.

@ProFootballTalk
Cowboys may be in hot water with league for signing Sanchez before NFL issued official transaction report for the day, source tells PFT.

OMG

I really did, this season is going to be the best.

Tony Romo's clavicle never healed correctly either time, it was bound to break with that fall last year, they repair it so that it can no longer be a problem. Romo gets back surgery and works hard for two years so his back can be stronger and allow him to do all the offseason activities he has not been able to for two years, gets sat on by a charging bull while he was sliding awkwardly and compresses his back. Now people run out the woods to announce he is dead on arrival.

I'd give Tony the benefit of the doubt here, he is going to come back, his collar bone is fixed, his back believe it or not (you won't) is stronger than 2014 and as long as he does not attempt to do whatever the fuck that slide was ever again, he will be fine

Bradford fact of the day: Sam Bradford once led Oklahoma to a National Championship

From Garafolo...

Expect the Giants to be active in checking out veteran OLs released today. Teams were trying strike a trade with them but no dice.

...and there it is.

I think we all are.

I don't think anybody's saying he won't come back. Instead he SHOULDN'T come back.

 

[Gigglepoo]

Am I crazy for thinking Shaun Hill is pretty good? I lump him in the same category as Josh McCown: Two unexceptional quarterbacks that you can totally win with if the rest of your team is solid.

Throw the book at these motherfuckers.

Dock one Dez and one championship from them

 

[Bitanator]

I know what you are saying, I'm implying that he is equipped to be fine by coming back when the fracture heals, the collar bone should not be problematic for him and his back will heal from the fracture, his back it is stronger than it was two years ago

 

[jbug617]

Gabbert named the starter for 49ers

 

[Eleuin]

glad ted cut the second best lineman on a championship-contending team for "offensive line growth"

 

[Crisco]

Wooohooo, 53 man roster, finally no more Brenton Bers.......

WIDE RECEIVERS (6): Kelvin Benjamin, Ted Ginn, Jr., Devin Funchess, Philly Brown, Brenton Bersin, Damiere Byrd

That sounds like Getts what said after he let the Panthers' top 4 wide receivers walk and we thought Marvin McNutt and Tavarres King would be our 1 and 2 going into the next season.

Speaking of...

Brenton has blackmail on somebody I'm convinced at this point.

 

[CrocMother]

Didn't realize this was Vern Lundquist's last season. Guy is a fookin legend.

Great at golf. He should stick around and keep working the Masters at least

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

Forsett cut surprised me. Disappointed to see we're done with Arthur Brown. What a flop, I was so high on him when we drafted him.

 

[msdstc]

Did you guys know Aaron Dobson had the best rookie season evar under tom brady?

 

[KingKong]

Realistically was Bradford the best quarterback Vikings could get this season?

Yup, DG is a diddler and must have mistaken Bersin for a little kid hanging out at Wofford. Probably invited him for a shower and that was all she wrote.

 

[Tom Penny]

Looks like the Pats cut enough WR to have a practice squad for Brady.

Running back hit 30 and boom! Out the door.

 

[Plasticine]

Brad Biggs @BradBiggs
#Bears have informed WR Marc Mariani his contract will be terminated.

Surprised he was cut. He's shifty, good in the slot and white. I expect him to be signed by the Patriots.

 

[Tankard]

I honestly believe Sanchez is at the same level.

 

[msdstc]

Im pretty surprised martin was cut given the people around here saying he was the favorite. Turns out pretty much none of the grouping stuck despite it being the "best competition in years" at the position. That being said I think AJ derby is more of a hybrid so I'd count one of those spots as taken by him and I think that's easily the right choice. I also think Foster took one of those spots.

 

[Duxxy3]

Has anybody reported the Seahawks cut to 53?

 

[CrocMother]

I honestly believe Sanchez is at the same level.

I'm no Bradford fan but I've watched a lot of both players and he's better than Sanchez. I'm sure you can find stats to show otherwise but it's an easy call via the eye test.
