I meant when Rodger’s went down.

 

Gosh no. Siemian is one of the worst QBs I have seen play in the NFL. He played for the Vikings in a backup role. He is worse than Christian Ponder.

 

Curtis Painter may have been better than Siemian.

I agree. I’ve seen him play in person as well as for multiple teams. He’s not even a serviceable backup in my opinion. If his number is called to be starting, something has truly gone wrong for that teams season, which I mean yeah it’s the Jets… 

 

But seriously though, he’s one of the worst QBs I’ve seen play.

Joe Flacco has been so underrated his whole career. Not a great QB but good, a lot better than Trent Dilfer was.

I think he’s being overrated a bit this season because of how bad the QB play has generally been with so many inexperienced and low caliber backups… but yeah he’s definitely better than Trent ever was. 
 

But put the Browns in a cage match against the Bills and I’m taking the Bills with Josh Allen.

What are your thoughts on the other games?

 

Did anyone see the story about the Packers suspending Jaire Alexander for the next game for conduct detrimental to the team?  What did he do wrong? He failed to say that the Packers, who won the coin toss to start the game, would be deferring to the second half.  He told the ref that the Packers would start the game on defense. I believe that because he did not say "defer", the Packers did not get the ball to start either half of the game last week.

 

It seems harsh to suspend him for that for an important upcoming game.

Bills are off their game.  It's a toss up to me.  Home field determines the winner.

I think that game would be 50/50. Flacco is a winner. I think Allen is a better QB but he has his moments where he has some bad turnovers in the playoffs.

Colts and Vikings both will win for starters, let me pause for station identification and let me think about my other locks.

He was not a captain and wasn’t supposed to be out there.

Alexander will miss Sunday's game against the Vikings.

The Green Bay Packers have placed cornerback Jaire Alexander on the reserve/suspended list for "conduct detrimental to the team" regarding his participation in Sunday's pregame coin toss before their 33-30 win over the Carolina Panthers.

Lol. Maybe I exaggerated (about his being worse than Painter), but I stand by my comment that Siemian is one of the worst I have seen play in the NFL.

    • Welcome back.   After taking a month off, you’ve returned.   I’m not sure where to start, so let’s try the night the Colts drafted Mitchell.  Late that night, you and another high profile Ballard-Hater had this conversation:  That you didn’t like CBs defense of Mitchell.  His big speech.  Why?  Because you guys agreed that “Ballard didn’t know enough about Mitchell to know if he was a good guy or not.”   Your words.     When my chin came off the floor and my eyes back in my head I thought this:   Why would you OR the fans of any team ever think that what a GM shares on draft night is all he knows?   Because it isn’t.  A GM is sharing all that he wants to share, nothing more.  But what he doesn’t share is much, much more than what he does share.  Think an iceberg;  10 percent above water,  90 percent below.   A GM knows far more than he ever shares.    And now you make this argument….   If Mitchell doesn’t work out, Ballard has left himself open to criticism.   Two words:  who cares?   A GM can’t do his job well if he’s afraid of criticism.  Do you think the Steelers care that George Pickens is totally crazy?   No.  They care he makes big plays for Pittsburgh and catches first downs and touchdowns.  Mike Tomlin deals with the crazy part in private.   A GM has to have thick skin.  Ballard clearly does.   And he doesn’t care what others think of him.  Nor should he.     So far Mitchell seems to enjoy Indy.   I think the odds are good Ballard and Steichen can handle whatever baggage the kid brings.    
    • Unbelievable.  Tell me, what’s the criteria for being a spoiled brat?     Because all the other rookie WR’s have clauses in their contracts too.   The Colts do a great job of signing players.  This signing doesn’t seem to bother the Colts, yet it bothers you enough to call Mitchell a spoiled brat.  Over nothing much out of the ordinary.  Thats why players have agents.  It’s why the Colts have Mike Bluem.     You remain your own worst enemy.     Goodness gracious.         
    • When the Colts drafted Goncalves they said they think he could play 4 positions at the NFL level.   All but Left Tackle.  So he is not a replacement for Raimann.   odds are Goncalves will play RG and some RT.    I’m a Cosell fan.  He’s forgotten more about football than anyone here knows.  But his opinion on Raimann is beyond head scratching.    Raimann scored in the low to mid 70’s his rookie year.  Then scored in the low 80’s last year.   I don’t know what he thinks of PFF scores,  but there is more to this opinion than meets the eye.  Something doesn’t add up at all.  
    • I think his professional career is very slim. Not sure if you remember Vick Ballard but he had similar injuries and he was pretty much done with football after. Not to say that Scott can’t come back it’s completely possible but to rehab and have to get over the mental aspect of things it’s gonna be hard.
    • Not a big deal at this time, but I hope AR is 100% by the time he takes contact in a real game. Don't want this to be a regular occurrence, especially when you combine his reckless playing style with the injury. I hope he can play all year. Last thing we need is him getting nagging injuries every game.
