  1. The categories given are Elite, average and below average.

     

    Nicks coming off a bad year, Wayne coming off a major Knee injury...they aren't an elite unit. 

     

    Ah, okay.  I see your point.  I forget I cheated on my ranking :D  I do think our WR's are an elite unit though, but we're allowed to disagree :)

  2. QB: Elite

    RB: Below average

    WR: Average

    TE: Average

    OL: Below average

    DL: Average

    LB: Average

    DB: Average

    K: Elite

    P: Elite

    Not too bad, IMO. However; Wayne, Hilton, and Nicks just average? That's the only thing I strongly disagree with. I think we easily have a top 10 group of receivers.

  3. I'm going to add "above average" and "good" to the rankings. Going from average to elite is just nuts.

    QB: Good

    RB: above average

    WR: elite

    TE: above average

    OL: average

    DL: above average

    LB: good

    DB: above average

    K: above average

    P: elite

    HC: good

    OC: average

    DC: average

  4. Well...this comparison isn't exactly fair.  I do, however, agree with some of the points.  Landry hasn't shown the slightest interest in being any sort of leader, and I don't understand why he would rather work out by himself instead of with his team.  I don't particularly like him, or his playing style of "let's do nothing but try to destroy people and whiff half the time" but...I'm also not willing to call him a bust for us yet.

     

    I think you need to give a player more than one year in a new situation before you put any sort of judgement on them. Hopefully he can be more of the player we envisioned him being...We'll see.

  5. I agree for the most part.  The only thing I would change is add a category above elite for Peyton and Tom.  Then add Big Ben to the elite category.

     

    Tier 0 / Legendary:

     

    Peyton Manning, Tom Brady

     

    Tier 1 / Elite:

     

    Aaron Rodgers, Drew Brees, Ben Roethlisberger

     

    Tier 2 / Nobles:

     

    Philip Rivers, Matt Ryan, Andrew Luck, Russel Wilson, Eli Manning

     

    everything else is exactly the same as you.

     

     

     

     

    Also, to add to the other point.  The only player in the NFL (right now) I'd take over Rodgers is Luck.  It's a very tough choice, though...

  6. Even if they were given one, how could it considered cheating?  We throw that word around way too quickly, IMO.  The only issue I would take with this is IF Brady was being a meany pants about it, which...I doubt.  It was probably in a joking, merry sense, being that they were at a wedding.  This isn't much of a story to me... Pats are better than the Jets with or without a playbook.

  7. Meh - I'm over it by now.  I really don't think TY is capable of doing anything in the off season that will "shock the world" let alone be worth an overnight of "suspense".  I was excited for about an hour, lol.

  8. Don't know who to believe here. Like some have said, the NFL generally remains quiet in this situation. Interesting that they're speaking out here. I'm obviously wanting to believe Mathis, but I don't know that I do.

    Regardless, a banned substance is a banned substance. Mathis deserves this suspension just based on ignorance for not checking with anyone associated with the NFL.

  9. Well...good video.  Unfortunately for us, only a handful of the plays shown are actual "highlights" (which is about the number of legitimately good plays he had last year)  Most of his hits come after he, or someone else, has already given up a reception and a first down.  =/

     

     

    Hopefully with some new pieces our defense can be all around more better, resulting in better play from Mr. Landry.

  10. I don't know, the consensus here (for the most part) has been that Champ was done ever since the Ravens beat the Broncos in 2012.  It was clear he couldn't cover Torrey Smith deep.  I'm really not sure where everyone constantly defending him was.  Anyhow, if he's brought in to play safety, or maybe the Nickel, this is a good move.  If the Saints are expecting him to be a shut-down corner, well.... good luck with that.

  11. If you're talking in terms of sales, then you would probably be correct. However, XBOX had nowhere near the exclusives that PS3 had. Games like The Last of US, Uncharted, and God of War 3 made XBOX look silly. (Don't give me Halo, that series peaked on the regular XBOX) I'm abstaining from next gen until some quality games are released.

     

    Wait, this is a Hakeem Nicks thread? Yeah, sign that man please.

     

    Argh...I wanna argue this, but I also don't want to derail the thread.  So, I'll let it go.  There's more reason than just the exclusives that the Xbox was way superior to the PS3.  PM me if you want to continue the discussion haha

  12. Xbox isn't very good there buddy.

     

    XBoX 360 was the clear winner of the last generation of gaming.  It remains to be seen with "next-gen" system will be victorious.  They both have pro's and con's  (I have an Xbox One, and love everything about it)  Though, if you really want to get everything you can out of gaming, you'd want to do it on PC.

     

     

    On topic, I wouldn't be against bringing Hakeem Nicks in.  Obviously, I wouldn't be giving any expensive long term contract, but a fairly inexpensive 1-2 year deal wouldn't bother me.  If he's back to normal he could be great for our offense.
