Well when he is the only guy willing to work for you, you take what you can get.

I love the idea that Jay Gruden's offense will run better with Kirk Cousins.

Come on, now. Look how well Mike Vick worked out when Jim Mora forced the West Coast offense on him!

Jon Snow is viciously stabbed by his friends in the night's watch for wanting to rescue Mance Rayder from Ramsay Bolton

Sorry if I don't believe an opinion piece written by Mike Wise.

Yeah, I have no idea. I don't hold it against Gruden that he sees Cousins as a better fit for the offense he's trying to run, but why on earth would you hire someone who isn't jumping at the chance to work with RG3? And from Gruden's standpoint, why would you refuse to adapt to the players you have? It seems like they're determined to try and jam a square peg into a round hole.

Because you want to be a ~coaching genius~

It's loving Mike Wise, everything he writes is click bait

Yeah Cousins is more comfortable as a pocket passer but realistically he's not as talented as RG3. It's not surprising that he would pick up a scheme better suited to pocket passers faster than RG3 but seriously who thinks Cousins is as talented or has the upside of RG3? Maybe RG3 flames out cuz he can't stay healthy or he can't comfortably adapt to be more of a pocket passer, but I'm pretty sure Gruden would rather Griffin pick up the offense and learn to run it effectively than to lean on Cousins and hope he can outperform his talent

Was it already known that AP beat up 2 kids, or is this new?

http://www.businessinsider.com/nfl-star-adrian-peterson-accused-in-another-abuse-incident-2014-9

quote:

This son is from a different mother, reports KHOU. The incident is said to have happened in June. The station says that the boy was visiting Peterson in Texas when the football star texted his mother with a picture of the son with injuries to his head and bandages. They also report that other photos are said to have been taken weeks later showing a scar.

KHOU reports that they were able to get information about the texts sent from Peterson to the mother. Here's what they note on the site:

Mother: "What happened to his head?"

Peterson: "Hit his head on the Carseat."

Mother: "How does that happen, he got a whoopin in the car."

Peterson: "Yep."

Mother: "Why?"

Peterson: "I felt so bad. But he did it his self."

I'll tolerate you until I can replace you.
It's in the AP thread. A different article states that the kid suffered the scar not from AP, but from the car seat (while receiving the whoopin').

He did play quite well on Sunday, except for that one pick. He was like 14/16 at one point. Unfortunately Cruz and Randle dropped 5 passes and the special teams took a big runny dump

Jeff Tedford is still not cleared to return full time. It could result in our QB coach calling plays for the third week running.

This is the reaction of Jeff Tedford when the QB coach called a run play on 3rd and 7 from the Rams 9 yard line:
