Osweiler is only 16th in average/year. That's a very low bar, especially when considering how many other starters (Bridgewater, Bortels, Goff, Wentz, Winston, Prescott, Mariota) are on their first contract and how many others are stopgaps.LordMortis wrote: Also, I think Ossweiler set the new bar for QB signings.

Re: 2016 NFL Week 9
I guess I should have said Ossweiler set the new floor for starter QB signings. He is 16th now but I don't think you will see a non freshly drafted starting QB signed for less than he signed for ever again.noxiousdog wrote:Osweiler is only 16th in average/year.

Re: 2016 NFL Week 10
I finally watched the play at the end of the game. I can't for the life of my figure out how that is a legal play. Sherman is ignoring the rest of the field, and launches into the upper body of the WR during a pass play. If that's legal, that's the only thing I'm going to have my DBs do from now on. As soon as the QB leaves the pocket, I'm destroying every WR on the field. Because apparently that's totally cool.

Maybe it will become a standard play in the Pats defense book and then get copied by the rest of the league?

Re: 2016 NFL Week 10
The competition comity will be busy this offseason. The insanity of how they have begun finding exploits for pass defense is going to end up being a problem. Lighting up a receiver like Sherman did may be legal but is going to get someone hurt. The Saints having all of their receivers get tackled and just taking the 5 yard penalty to run down the clock isn't as bad, but could also lead to issues.

Re: 2016 NFL Week 11
Deflategate
The New England Patriots quarterback, who was forced to sit out four games earlier this season for allegedly being aware of a scheme to deflate footballs in the 2015 AFC title game, is featured in a new spot for Foot Locker that debuted Wednesday.
Leading up to Thanksgiving, the shoe and apparel retailer concentrates a week full of shoe releases that it calls its Week of Greatness.
In the spot with Brady, two fans walk into a diner having picked up their shoes and wonder aloud how it's possible that the company is sustaining success.
Brady overhears the two and launches into a speech, which eventually becomes about him.
"Just because something is great year after year doesn't mean anything is going on," Brady says to the fans. "Why can't some things just be great? It starts with questions, and then questions turn into assumptions, and then assumptions turn into vacations. So why would you punish the Week of Greatness for something that never even happened?'
Foot Locker wrote the spot for Brady, and the quarterback was all-in.
It's almost as if people are the problem.

Re: 2016 NFL Week 11
I just have to say the end of the Saints game pissed me off. There is now no reason for players to ever wear non-white shoes. He clearly stepped out and they let it stand because his shoes were the same color as the line.

Too little, too late. Alshon Jeffery is suspended for PEDs, and Kyle Long is dead. Even if they lose out there is little chance they will wrest the top pick from Cleveland though. Beating Detroit may have been unavoidable, but did they have to look good in beating Minnesota?

Re: 2016 NFL Week 12
Having had surgery to repair that same issue last March I can say that if that is his case and it is bad enough for surgery rather than just PT he is done for the year and into the off season. I have no where near the resources or time to put into recovery that he will have but it took three months before I had full mobility back and that was with rehab every day.Isgrimnur wrote:Cutler has a torn labrum, probably done for the year.

I was looking up stats to combat this lunacy and found that...I was wrong. He's actually playing fairly well this year. He's kept his INT % low and won some impressive games. I take it back.

The Bears are in such miserable shape right now that even PEDs can't even help them win. This week, the second starter in as many weeks was suspended. That they seemed content with the performance of a career backup earlier this year, I'll expect the Bears to go cheap at QB (or maybe draft one). If they were a big time QB away from contention -- then maybe an interest in Romo. Given their utter lack of receivers, hiring an expensive QB would be like giving a diamond ring to someone with no fingers.

Not a good year for QBs. How many starters in Pre-Season/September have been moved to "done for the year" this year?Isgrimnur wrote:Cutler has a torn labrum, probably done for the year.

Teddy Bridgewater
Jay Cutler
RG3 was just designated for return, so he's off the list. Everyone else still has their starter playing. Many have missed time for one thing or another, but they all are coming back.

I guess I just have my NFC North glasses on with no Fantasy leagues playing this year, I thought there were a lot more woes than that.stessier wrote:Very few?LordMortis wrote:Not a good year for QBs.

Romo will probably be given say in where he ends up as well so that pretty much assures you he won't end up behind a paper offensive line.Jeff V wrote:Not unless he goes for a bargain price.Rip wrote:Romo to the Bears in 3....2....1....
The Bears are in such miserable shape right now that even PEDs can't even help them win. This week, the second starter in as many weeks was suspended.
