lol, he may be the best QB in the game at banging super models but not even top 5 at playing the position of QB

 

Oh please-please do bless us with the wisdom of your "top 5 list" then.  :thmup:

 

These Brady homers just block out anything they don't want to hear.

 

Not at all true in this case. You're just incorrect. 

 

2002 was a down year for the team overall (only season besides 2008, when Brady tore his ACL, that they didn't win the division in the Brady-Belichick era). Brady was given more responsibility in 2002 and actually responded pretty well and validated Belichick's decision to keep him and trade Bledsoe to the Bills.

Well the problem is essentially that we have 2 3rd down backs.  Bradshaw breaks easier so he can't be the primary back. 

 

But say we had T-Rich and an actual primary back that can find the hole and run the ball but no Bradshaw.  T-Rich would be the 3rd down back. 

 

Because he's a bust people don't pay attention to the fact that there are a few things that he does do well. 

Trent Richardson would look a whole lot better if the Colts had Alabama's offensive line.

It's as true as that other thing Brady homers have going on. They're so defensive about the guy over nothing. Then the nerve to bring up 2008???

how many of the olineman Trent played with are now starting in the NFL?

That's a stupid question.  Those linemen were effective, VERY effective, against their age-peers.  If no NFL team can draft and coach them, it is not their fault.

 

Here is your answer:

Barret Jones (Rams)

Cyrus Kouandjio (Buffalo Bills)

Chance Warmack  (Titans)

Kellen Williams

Anthony Steen (Arizona)

D. J. Fluker (Chargers)

Michael Williams (Lions)

Actually its not a stupid question. How they perform against their peers in college means nothing to how they would perform against pros

Andrew Luck's amount of picks are not okay.

Brady is better than Peyton when it matters.

Sadly, I agree here. Luck has that overhand throw and the ball tends to sail on him especially when he pushes it. I swear Peyton just can't get Brady out of his psyche.

Alright now I'm just confused. No one was being defensive... being defensive is when you react to something that is probably true. You said Brady had a "sophomore slump" in 2002, which is just not correct. I have no idea what you're talking about with 2008. 

 

This is the "Around the NFL" section. If you post something about Brady, Pats fans will show up. If you post something about Brees, Bogie will show up. If you post something about the Texans, Qwizboy and Houston fans will show up. Especially if what you post is flat-out wrong. So you can accuse us of being defensive (can't tell you how ironic that is coming from a fan base that is, collectively, very insecure about how your players are viewed) but whatevs, my man!

I would pay an incredible amount of fake money to witness a debate between Shane and Bloody. Could you just imagine the amount of misinformation and the number of "I know I'm right even though I'm dead wrong's" that would take place?

Yeah, you can have that line.

True but no team in the NFL has a line that is going to be as dominate as Alabama's line was over college football. 

 

College football doesn't have nearly the parity that the NFL does.

I think London games are a waste. Id rather the nfl stay in America or atleasr go intk Canada before going across the pond. I think A.Q should be starting center. Whalen should see more 3rd down snaps. Andrew Luck will be better than manning and has done better in his first 3 years than manning. Manziel will never be a quality back in the nfl. I also think it was funny what Winston said. There lol

College football doesn't prepare defensive players for the NFL..

...the emphasis is so much on offense in college and the pro game is much more complicated and faster.

Most college coaches don't care much about defense, to tell the truth

tell that to saben and many other SEC coaches

Greg Toler is awful. 

 

I see you're posting in the infamous Dudeski style.    You know, as few words as possible.

 

This lead to other posters saying.....  "why"....

 

And you responding.....   "because he does"....

 

And everyone else saying....   "would you like to offer facts, or is it just your opinion?"

 

And then you inevitably trot out the facts that you get from the websites that you subscribe to....

 

In other words,  there are a whole bunch of unnecessary posts because you don't post the supporting information in your original post......    why you don't is a mystery...  

 

But I look forward to hearing why Toler sucks since our defense plays so well when he and Davis are on the field together....

I will...all of college football is embarrassing defensively..

Saban isntin the NFL for a reason

 

You think Nick Saben couldn't coach in the NFL?!?

 

Based on his two years at Miami?

 

People used to say that about Pete Carroll based on a number of years at New England and the NYJ.

 

Now, after Seattle,  those same people don't say that anymore about Carroll.....

 

Nick Saben can coach.    He's just got to be in the right situation.

He gets bailed out on more bad passes than probably any cornerback in the NFL. During the last Giants game, he was beat for at least 2 TDs (Eli underthrew and to his credit, Toler managed to get a hand on it, but a better pass is a TD) and the other took a spectacular hustle play by Brown to tip the pass at the last second. 

 

He's an awful tackler (8 missed tackles (2nd worst in the NFL) and has given up 233 yards after the catch (2nd worst in the NFL).

 

He's given up the 5th most yards in the league.

 

Funnily enough last years hate was just as unwarranted as this years praise.

Yeah 12 of Bortles 13 ints have been bad, 1 the wr just slipped on however, He looks to be clearly thinking to much out there instead of just taking whats given to him by the defense, Whether you move the ball down the field on 1 deep pass or short to intermediate passes it still amounts to the same thing..moving the ball...Also if Im a Jags fan I'd like to see him scramble a bit more times a game as needed...He is on pace for 64 rushes....Not enough in my opinion in his situation..Should be closer to Russell Wilsons average of 6 in my opinion

Who do you think he will cover on the Pats?

    • Good players make plays when the game is on the line. Like Reggie Wayne in the green bay game. One thing is for sure you don't  target a guy that has down next to nothing  all game when the game is on the line. That be as silly as when Taylor averages 8 yards a carry all game and with the game on the line and it being 3rd and 2 you substitute  him for a back who got stuffed at the line of scrimmage  all game. Every team has a go to guy. Brady had gronk and edleman Brees had Michael Thomas and Jimmy Graham. Stroud most dependable  target is nico Collins ect
    • It really was pretty wild to see the difference in AR to Flacco as it pertains to processing in live time.  They really are pretty much the opposite QB at this point in their careers, Like some have mentioned- AR is just unrefined in everything he does.  His reads are too quick, his footwork is too unsettled and he looks like a wild stallion in that pocket.  When he makes big plays it usually isn't because of the aforementioned traits, its because he can release the ball quick with superior velocity.    In Flacco you have a guy who makes perfectly settled, on rhythm reads, has solid and quiet footwork in the pocket and looks calm and collected out there. When he makes big plays its because of his veteran decision making within the construct of the offense. However, if that breaks down his chances of overcoming it are very slim. He won't run for the first down and his 40 year old arm (while still good and lightyears better than a 37 year old Matt Ryan's) is limited.  You could see the difference in his arm strength on the deep ball.  His float like a balloon and Richardson's are absolute ropes.    In theory, Flacco should be the perfect QB from a skillset standpoint to mentor Anthony on his weaknesses, and those seem to be Flacco's strengths.    Ultimately though, for every pass Joe has to throw in a game means less chance of Anthony developing.  He needs to be on the field.  Having Joe is nice if you are contending or in a playoff hunt, but having Joe on the field for meaningful time in week 4 was NOT and is NOT in the blueprint of what we are building.    A lot of people are complaining ad nauseum about Anthony and if he will ever get there- but nobody denies the upside that we've seen. I think the first step in his development is being able to hone down on what he needs to work on the most and I really think that stage is almost complete.  He will grind, and by week 8 lets have another conversation.  Injuries aside of course.  The kid needs to also learn the physicality of the NFL and had no time to sink his teeth into S and C last offseason.     
    • Who would have thought Mason Rudolph would come in for Will Levis? If Will Levis plays the whole game, Dolphins win, IMO.   Plus, Seahawks vs Lions, what a barn burner. Seahawks' D was minus 5 starters with 3 along the DL, the Lions ran on them like crazy, and Goff doesn't get touched, the kind of game he excels when pressure doesn't get to him. Seahawks did fight hard, was pleasantly surprised by Geno Smith, he has been a late bloomer, just like Sam Darnold now.
    • My main concerns with Richardson are his accuracy problems and his injury history. His big play ability relies on his legs a lot which in turn leaves him open to getting hurt. If he doesn’t use his legs as much then he needs to get a lot more accurate. Hopefully he’s able to make it through the entire season.
    • What I need to do is stop watching. I have a superstition, bear with me, transcends sports.   Chiefs' Eagles SB, I was so tense because I was rooting for Mahomes, so I stopped watching at half time when the Eagles were leading 24-14, the rest is history. 2022 AFCCG, Sneed goes down within the first few plays, their star CB vs the Bengals with Burrow boasting a 3-0 record vs Mahomes. It did not bode well for the Chiefs, so I stopped watching. Learned they won by a FG.   Chiefs' 49ers SB, I stopped watching when the 49ers went up 10-0, once I knew the result, I watched highlights.   I love Novak Djokovic, he was down a break and a set versus Carlos Alcaraz in Cincinnati. I stopped watching, he came back, won that set in a tie break and then won the whole match. 2018 Wimbledon semis vs Nadal, he goes down 1 sets to 2, I stopped watching, Djokovic comes back and wins.   Bengals game versus the Chiefs this year, the Bengals were ahead before that defensive TD happened, Burrow had just thrown a TD on 4th down. Stopped watching. Chiefs win by 1.    Yesterday, Flacco barely gets out of the pocket to avoid intentional grounding, Steelers were down 10-17, they were making a comeback. I stopped watching. The Colts won. If I have a favorite in the game, I have to stop cheering for them at some point and stop watching, that is my superstition.    I know what I need to do for the Jaguars game, let us hope it works.
