NFL Training Camp/Preseason Thread 2012 - A Farewell to snes :(

I watched him play as a Lsu tiger. He was decent but the team was extremely lucky.
I think Flynn rode on that luck.
Flynn now is way better than what you saw at LSU, assuming he didn't magically regress when he entered the draft. When he first arrived in GB he simply wasn't good. It wasn't even obvious he had the tools to be an NFL QB.

Hard to say how far he's come until he has to play some regular season games as the starter, but I do think he'll be a decent starting QB.
 
? Do you honestly not see why he was cut?

Nobody knows the complete truth yet.

It's a complete kneejerk reaction and if Hard Knocks says anything, Philbin was tired of dealing with him, and this was an excuse just to get rid of him.

It'll be a joy supporting a completely boring, lifeless team for the next 3 years till Philbin gets fired.

Just read the news about Chad. How do you end up worse than T.O in the span of 2 days? Ridiculous. What an idiot but I knew his karma moment was due after his letter to Goodwell and that other one he wrote about staying out of trouble.

So you'd rather have a clown representing your team? No matter what Chad will never shake this accusation.
 
Wow shocked that they cut him.

He's been a complete waste for the past couple of seasons. He was a waste of a roster spot in NE last year. TO outplayed him the year they spent together in Cincy, and IIRC he sulked about it.

When the diva WR is putting up big numbers, you put up with his antics. When he can't even make it on the field, and he's over 30 and likely not ever gonna be the same player again... well then, you cut him.

Let's face it if he was still putting up big numbers, the Fins would have fined him for this transgression and moved on. But right now he's just a headache and a distraction.

Chad's talent (never as good as he believed it to be) can no longer make up for his antics. Good news for perv-GAF is that means he will probably become a porn star now.

Whatev, he already hit rock bottom as a Patriot. This is a step up from that.
 
What separates this thread from team specific message boards is that you can actually have a dissenting opinion. If you don't agree with the mob you're labeled an idiot or a hater on team specific forums. Fans that cheer for the same team basically rip one another to shreds, everyone is super sensitive, however you get posts that are really really good from time to time which keeps you going back. You just have to wade through a boatload of shit to get to the good stuff.

Fanaticism tends to kill discussion.

God this couldn't be more true. The two Steeler specific boards I lurk have maybe 1 or 2 guys worth listening to.

The major talk on Steelers message boards right now is cutting Mike Adams. Seriously.

Lets just say that the recent lsu qb situations have me pretty skeptical of how any lsu qb will play in the nfl.
Its not a school known to produce great qbs for the pros in the first place.
Im proud of Matt for making it to the NFL but time will tell how far he goes.

If that means we're getting to another Super Bowl, then sure. Why not. If you aren't cheating. You aren't trying.

Why? Only actual superstars get preferential treatment, anybody who is just another dude usually get their ass cut for that kind of crap. Unless they play in Detroit.

They have no one at QB and no one else at WR. But mostly because no one knows what happened yet. It's awfully soon.

He must not have been impressing anyone at camp. I haven't seen all of episode 1 of Hard Knocks, maybe the coaches just didn't like him.
 

Your stadium's gonna be lighting up the Saturday skies soon. Can't wait. Love this time of year.

In Hard Knocks the impression I got was that he was impressing everyone with his play, but not his antics.

Been here over a decade. Guess I'm the old man!

So crazy to me. I don't post as much in the offseason, but I started posting in NFLGAF in 2003, the year the Panthers made it to the Super Bowl (such a magical season). That was '03-'04, so this will be my 9th year on GAF...jeez.

Time flies, doesn't it? Especially the older you get.

NBA GAF used to be cool too. Half of the posts were joke. Now everyone is an asshole. Hope we can avoid that.

Yeah, that's why I bailed out ages ago. That and the Laker fans almost make me hate the Lakers.
 
Peter Kings tweets on Chad:

Chad 1: One of Chad's problems in Miami is he didn't adjust to his environment well. Joe Philbin's pretty straight-laced ...

Chad 2: So Chad curses, talks about porn and strip clubs in his Aug. 1 press conf. Didn't go over well. Obviously this killed his shot ...

Chad 3: But he was already on thinner than thin ice because he didn't fit Philbin's way anyway. How do you not read your environment better?

Chad 4: For a smart guy, he was pretty dumb in Miami, in a lot of ways.


Jeff Darlington tweeted: When Miami signed Johnson, source said it was largely done to make sure the QBs had enough weapons. Name to now remember: Roberto Wallace.
