Where is a good place to see players' contract breakdown, such as how much they are due over the next few years and such? And also, I've googled my rear end off but I can't find anything that says how many total penalties were called this year in comparison to other years.

Detective Thompson posted:Flynn will be an unrestricted free agent, right? He's been in the league for four years at the end of this season, right? It'll be cool to see him take a starting spot somewhere, as much as I'm sure Green Bay would like to hold onto him for the odd occasion when Rodgers doesn't play. I read about the Raiders, but with the strict calling of everything you do to a QB, I was curious of the total number of penalties for the entire year is more than any other year. It just seems like it would be with the amount of flags that get thrown in every single game.

Eric the Mauve posted:Declan summed it up, really. Tebow is an H-back that's been playing quarterback. I think he's talented and versatile enough to be useful in the NFL for some years... if you can get around the ever-present nuisance of legions of fans and media who want him to play quarterback. I've heard people say speed is the reason the option won't work in the NFL since DBs and LBs can close on the ball so much quicker than college, but doesn't the speed of an NFL offense in comparison to a college offense compensate for that?

What's the benefit of putting a player on the physically unable to perform list and losing them for six games to start the season? What if they're ok to play after four games?

I've never seen that before so I wanted to make sure, that's standard protocol for a qb after the game, right? And if so, why was it both elbows and not just his throwing arm?

Maybe I just don't remember, but was Tagliabue a better commissioner than Goodell? I don't remember there being as much talk about him being a piece of poo poo like people say about Goodell. In fact, I don't remember people talking about him much at all.

Can you review a play and then call a penalty? In the Packers game, which I only saw highlights of, the ref said "After review, there were 12 defensive players on the field." I didn't think you could do that.

Getting the right guys for the right scheme is good and all, but every now and then there are recruits that are just so athletically superior that you want to recruit them regardless. Watch Barry Sanders play for OSU. Their offensive game plan could have been to punt every first down and you would STILL try to go out and get him because no matter what, he was always the best player on the field and was worth six or seven wins (probably more) on the strength of his special teams play alone. Basically what I'm saying is, they don't recruit based on scheme the way the pros draft based on it. Its part of it, but pure athleticism gets you a LOT farther in college than it does the pros.

swickles posted:The problem with this is that you are assuming that the ranking sites are better at ranking recruits than the actual colleges. Its the same problem with the NFL, if you think Kiper/McShay are better than the actual team drafting the players, who have far more resources, then you are going to see discrepancies. The sites adjust based on who recruits who because they know that school staffs have more resources, and are likely better than their own meager staff. I would put more stock in Kiper and McShay (but I don't, goddamn they annoy me sometimes) than a recruiting website simply because Kiper and McShay only give a poo poo about roughly 45 players in the draft, but colleges recruit out of almost every high school in America. Try ranking thousands and thousands and THOUSANDS of football players. You're going to gently caress up a lot of them on your first go.

What's the fewest wins a team needs to make the playoffs in any possible scenario, not just this year? 4? I guess I'm also asking the minimum number of wins to win the nfc south for the next few years. What if a team miraculously went 0-0-16?

Volkerball posted:He has a really punchable face, but beyond that, it's probably his stupid California golden boy schtick. He was the number one high school recruit, and the number one draft prospect. He straight up told the team with the 1st overall pick that he didn't want to play for them and threatened to play baseball if they picked him, which was pretty lovely and against the spirit of the draft. He also played for the Broncos which, being a really easy guy to hate, made him the face of a poo poo ton of terrible losses in the playoffs and Super Bowl, which added to the "Haha gently caress you Elway" element. Especially since he wasn't as good as Marino but was always just as hyped up, usually moreso. gently caress Elway. I pissed off some broncos fan in an Elway jersey at the game sunday because their mascot was hanging out by the gate and taking pictures with people, and I was like "Oh hey, that's nice of Elway to come out and sign autographs for the fans before the game." If I have the leverage to not go to a piece of poo poo organization I would probably take advantage of it. Why spend the next several years in a miserable place if you don't have to? At this point if Mariota pulled some poo poo like that on th Bucs I would totally understand, and we don't even have any talks of secret backdoor dealings to get the team moved. Seriously, why spend years in a poo poo hole? Be miserable for the' spirit of the draft?' lol And you're mad at Elway for the hype that OTHER people give him? That's pretty weak. I mean I guess I can understand hating him for the way he stiffed the Colts like 32 years ago, but I don't really blame the guy for what he did. And as far as being the number one recruit, that's basically saying you just hate really good players isn't it? Did you hate Reggie Bush or Andrew Luck?

Well now I'm curious. If your punter of field goal holder is blatantly attempting to throw the ball on a fake, and you flat out drill the gently caress out of them in a way that would draw a personal foul on a quarterback, what penalty is called? Roughing the passer? I ask because the penalty isn't "roughing the quarterback." Or is it... Makes you think.

How would a defensive penalty* affect the distance if it happened on the extra point field goal attempt if the offense decided to go for two after the penalty? *for the sake of argument we will say it is a presnap penalty like encroachment or something.

How come networks don't switch to the next game that is coming on when the current game is well in hand? Like if a game starts a 4 and runs until 7:30, and team A is beating team B by 45 points, why not just flip over to the game that is supposed to start at 7 instead of making us tune in 30 minutes late?

Metapod posted:Josh Gordon owns bones. To put into perspective how good Gordon is, the one season where he played most of the seasons he lead the league in receiving yards with quarterbacks that aren't even on the Browns even more. It's also a 16 game schedule vs an 82/162 game schedule the other sports have. I think that has a bit to do with it as well. E: Is there a place where you can see the amount of total injuries in the NFL year to year?
