This line of thought requires him to play a full season and do OK because he's surrounded by a shitload of offensive talent, and the Patriots offense now is nowhere NEAR what it was in 2008.

I hated the Garoppolo pick, but I'll reserve judgment until I've seen him play.

His trade value will rise dramatically if Hoyer looks good in Cleveland.

If the "Brady understudy" brand of 2nd-stringer-turned-starter develops a head of steam, then the Patriots found the formula for amassing a mountain of picks before Brady retires.

That's an interesting school of thought and I wonder if it pans out.

The Shannahans like to micromanage you say?

quote:

Kyle Shanahan stood on a balcony and timed Griffin’s Wednesday news conferences; if the meeting surpassed 10 minutes, the coordinator complained to Wyllie, the team’s communications director. Requests for one-on-one interviews were declined even if Griffin was willing, and if a reporter wandered too close to Griffin’s locker, it was common for Wyllie to interrupt the chat.

It is, but doesn't seem to have the HoF game up for some reason.

Now that I log in I can't figure out how to get to the preseason. Hopefully the guy who runs it will show up and start a thread soon.

The best thing about Bortles will be that he caused the Jags to get rid of Gabbert who will be the new starter for the 49ers by the end of the year.

The voters for the Pro Bowl/All-Pro at the time didn't seem to feel that way about Guy. I mean he did well in that respect but not any better than say Lechler, and the threshold for a special teamer making the Hall should be absolutely bonkers. Also we can be pretty aware of the statistical feats that have already happened, so I don't think Peterson or Calvin are in any danger in that respect.

Dan Reeves wasn't that good of an owner. Guy didn't get in based entirely on his merit, although he was an amazing punter. He got in because he invented the modern punt based on using hang time to allow coverage units to get to the returner so he has no space. The HoF views players who changed the game like that differently than anyone else.

I thought this was a typo and you meant coach before looking it up and was horrified that Dan Reeves the coach was in the hall of fame.

As to this conversation the other Dan Reeves probably doesn't deserve to be in any more than Jan Stenerud does, so I view Ray Guy as a bad but consistent selection.

Jesus Christ, good riddance you prune come to life. If this is how bad they got with standard press conferences, I'm actually a little more convinced that Jim Fassel wasn't 100% the god-awful defense.

I am cautiously optimistic about the whole thing. :getin:

EDIT: Seriously though, if Foster is healthy and Blue/Brown play well, we could win a lot of games with a ball-control offense and smothering defense. We have an incredibly easy schedule.

Gabbert threw more TDs than interceptions in 2011 and 2012, showed substantial improvement from 2011 to 2012, and did it on a horrible Jacksonville team. He will be a serviceable backup on a San Francisco team that has more than two players anyone has ever heard of.
