It's definitely really valuable, but it seems like an elite defensive tackle should be able to do at least something against some double teams in college and he just seemed to get erased by them.
Maybe my expectations for the position are off though.

i like alex smith. i think if he is comfortable in the system he is a top 15 QB. teams like the jets and cardinals would be lucky to have a QB like alex. i am conflicted because alex is the definition of a team guy and he has given everything to this team and never complained, never acted like a bitch through all the shit.
but at the sametime, kap is just a much more difficult guy to defend. he might not be as smart/comfortable with the system yet but if you just watch him play vs. alex you can see the difference. he extends plays and really gives WR's a chance to make plays by throwing the ball up to them. alex is much more careful with the ball. this is sometimes a blessing and a curse
Like wise.
100 percent sure all bear fans, including bob, know that the packers are our mortal enemies right now.
that Seahawks is still alive after losing Miami Dolphins.
Seahawks still must win 2 or 3 games to keep themself locked in for playoff #6.

maybe its unusual but it makes sense. all the DB's are doping up together. i'm sure the rest of their DB's are roiding up too but just didn't happen to get tested
Systemic cheating under Pete Carroll's watch?
alex smith's niners remind me of the 05 bears. like watching rex grossman being screamed at to not fuck up so the rest of the team can cover for him
with the new guy they actually look threatening offensively

but grossman still did unleash the dragon. alex smith has never, and will never, "unleash the dragon". it's not in his nature. he'll take a sack before he'll risk a pick. that can be good or it can be bad.
but watching the game today i mean kap kept so many plays alive just by moving around in the pocket and finding guys open. people want to see a night and day difference between alex and kap and you won't find it in the boxscore necessarily but if you watch the game kap is just more of a threat and harder to defend.
still, i just think alex should've been able to finish what he started here. i am a niners fan first but he has gotten the short end of the stick everytime
they are just lining up for their daily dose of hgh and horse sperm

Brian Cushing is in the front, Clay Matthews is behind him.
One is a known PED user, and the other one is heavily suspected.

You'll never catch Clay.
He's too smartlike for that.
He's too smartlike for that.
Probably plays too many snaps as well. His diet was absolute garbage before this season, dude would feast at Wendy's. He flashes big time talent just not consistent. Against USC Holmes was terrified for a full quarter, Star dominated but eventually wore down and became a non-factor. Louis Nix on the hand just got stronger against Holmes and played virtually the entire game. Conditioning is critical, you can't be eating Wendy's even if you weigh 340.
Edit: Ngata had similar knocks when he came out, but when a man that big moves that well you have to make exceptions. Plus, like I said, they play too many snaps in college, don't rotate as much as they do in the pros, unless you're Bama.
his accent is a testament to his smartlike
He destroyed one of the best centers in college when Utah took on USC. Then USC double teamed him and he wasn't as much of a force.
The guy is really good.

So Packers GAF, why the hell didn't they throw it to James Jones?
Good job today, Bears. In the middle of a 14 hour road trip (still. 90 minutes from home) but was in range of the chicago station the entire game. I don't think the injuries are season threatening until Cutler or Marshall go down.
Seeing a Packer loss is also nice even if it flips positions for just a week.
I hope we don't suck against the Seahawks again, CBs or no.

Because:
1. Aaron was running for his life the whole game.
2. Most of the pressure came from fatshit Newhouse's side aka the side Jones lines up.
3. Jones flashes but is a 3rd option at best.

At best? He's definitely ahead of Finley at this point. 0 catches is amazing to me.

Yeah, on one hand it sucks for him to lose his job like this. I read that since he's team captain, he still has to go out for coin tosses and stuff. However, Kap clearly gives the niners an added dimension.

Let me clarify.
WRs:
1. Jennings
2. Nelson
3. Cobb
4. Jones
Of course Jennings was out but that doesn't change the fact that Jones is generally the #3 target.
And as mentally disabled as Finley is, he should have been in a significant portion of the gameplan.
He is the reason the Packers were able to beat the Giants in 2011.
Instead of repeating the successful gameplan and giving some of Finley's reps to Crabtree or even Williams,
McCarthy went 4-wide when he should have been running 2 TE, 2 RB sets.
This game was a perfect example of the shortcomings of Mike McCarthy and why Philbin's departure was such a large blow.
I like it when there's alot of teams in the running for the wild card.
The AFC on the other hand..........

Dude is lying his ass off. He totally has bedroom eyes for Kap.
EDIT: *sees Ninja Scooter's post*
Please let that be in the new thread OP.

Jennings has been out, stop being ridiculous. I now need Steve Smith to score under 6 points tomorrow night because of this!
Maybe he's over rated but every draft site I can find with a quick google search has him as the consensus best center in this draft class. His injury early in the season pretty much single handedly cost USC the game against Stanford. Of the 5 main people USC will lose on offense this off season (Barkley, Woods, Holmes, McNeal, Redd) I think Holmes absence will be the most notable next season.

Wtf I was playing Fallen Enchantress all night don't drag me into this!
How is that by the way? I saw it was on sale and might pick it up during the winter sale.
It's good. Of course I didn't play the original Elemental so I couldn't tell you the changes. Game is super deep, my first skirmish lasted about 3 hours and I'm still coming to grips with all the game systems involved.

Nope. Seating the first year is good for most people not named RG3 or Andrew Luck
Would be great if he went there and somehow got to the AFC champ game.
I like Alex. I actually feel a bit safer with him starting a playoff game than Kap starting one. One thing Kap is better than Alex at is throwing on the run. Alex is athletic and can avoid a rush, but he's been less likely to do so and he's not as good at throwing downfield on the run. He tends to take his head down and worry about holding on to the ball. On the other hand, the way Kap holds the ball while he scrambles makes me nervous that he'll get stripped. After two games, I imagine there will a lot of coaches pointing to Kap holding the ball a little loose and to try to strip him every time he scrambles.
