  1. Not yet, but he probably will be. The front office does not want to risk another team snatching him up.

     

    The front office might also decide to designate him as the player to later return from IR, and they have to wait to do that.

    Thanks for the clarification.

  2. Having suffered ankle sprains in the past, I can tell you that he may still well be feeling it even if it looks basically okay there. However it is a very good sign that he'll be ready to go for the season opener. If he's able to do that this soon after the injury, I'd be quite surprised if he couldn't play with the amount of time he has left to heal.

    Wow sprained ankles, in the past, thanks for your testimony. I once had chicken pox.
  3. I wasn't going to waste my time dignifying the above asinine post with a response, but I just hate it when names of fellow Stanford alum are being dragged thru the mud, with misconceptions and misquotes threatening to topple one another. If you've just read the Wells report, J. Martin was being labelled by RI et. al. as a 'weirdo' only because he's not like the other linesmen on the team; he is an eloquent speaker and reads (poetry?) on his spare time, instead of horsing around and going to strip clubs (like the others). So, how is that 'weird'? Martin's best pal at Stanford is David De Castro, the Steeler's starting right guard and the only other Stanford player taken in the 1st round (aside from Luck). There were stories of the 2 tormenting Palo Alto's 'all-you-can-eat' Sushi bars, which brings me to my next point. Stanford is a small, elite private school, and just like other similar schools (e.g. Ivy League Schools), the friends and the networking you made while in school are something you can count on for life. There's a reason why Luck, Sherman and others constantly come back to the Farm in the off season to work out. Doug Baldwin (Seahawks) was one of the other vocal supporter of Martin, and I remember Sherman, Baldwin, and Luck never failed to complement each other when they played each other last season (I still remember a pic in the IndyStar w/ an animated Luck and a bemused Sherman looking on).

    Long story short, there's a very special bond among Stanford alum and you just cannot simply discount the Stanford connection. What the above post says about them not calling out Martin as a 'weirdo' is categorically not true, and that 'They do bad things same as everyone else, the smart ones keep it to a minimum or hide it well, but they are just people' is just simply an insult to any one who has received a Stanford education. Next time when you say something like that, please quote hard facts and cite examples, that will make this board a much better place to visit.

    Your instincts were correct, you have that.

  4. I have kind of hoped the colts would give Incognito a second chance. He is a real piece of work, undeserving of another chance? I can't say either way, but I doubt Irsay would tweet about such a thing due to their high profile scandals. Plus he lives in Phoenix, he has a bad rep here in the valley of the sun, but if he protects 12and opens up running lanes? I'm not sayin just sayin.

  5. That.

    If the Oline sucks as it has for nearly a decade (and the D much longer than that) none.

    On the plus side, our special teams aren't atrocious anymore. Between that and the lack of great teams in the AFC post Manning/Brady I can see a few SB trips even if our D and Oline still suck. Winning the SB is something else entirely, though.

    Who knows. Maybe the offense and ST will drag the D to the playoffs and they'll show up once there like 2006. Or we'll get a string of nonsense calls in our favor. I wouldn't count on either, but they could happen. Anything can happen once you're in the playoffs and I have little doubt we'll be there almost every season.

    The line was good in 2006 but not very solid to terrible over the last 7 years, carry on.
  6. it may be just a theory but when Tom telesco was here we Nailed the draft. The next year he is at San Diego they nail the draft.coincidentally we had a lower Draft grade. I know it's a little early to tell but couldnt help connconnecting the dots.

    Any opinions.

    This is not a theory, just a half baked hypothesis at best.

  7. Good then we agree. I just think right now he is the best of the young QBs from a developmental standpoint. And lest you get sensitive again that is not a shot at Luck, Kaep or Newton ...

     I'm not sensitive, I just don't care for sensationalism, and conjecture. I like facts and reason combined with thoughtfulness used in a compelling manner to make a point, as opposed to your rubbish. Moving on, what can Tom Brady do that Manning, Brees etc. can't? I would like to ask Rodgers what he meant, and if he would like to redact that quote.
