OT: American footy thread

[T.S Quint]

Yes, the guy is Class A f**kwit.

As great a player as he is and as much as the Niners need a receiver of his talent there’s no way I would have wanted them to sign him.

Yeh, he'd be a very unwise signing for a club in the 49ers position. They'd just be going through what the Raiders are now.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Actually I’m pretty sure they did, Baz.

I live in a parallel universe, in which I only believe the stories about the players the Roosters sign.

Is the gravity running out in your universe as well?

The Steelers would be sitting back laughing their heads off at all this. They got rid of a locker room cancer and got some draft picks out of it. Raiders have screwed themselves big time.

It's typical of the Raiders, but especially of Gruden.

People like to give shit to Brad Arthur, but Jon Gruden has:

* signed Antonio Brown
* released Khalil Mack
* re-signed Derek Carr
* put his number one draft pick into Clelin Ferrell (who I do rate, but not as an organisation's first pick)

Yeah but mark davis views Gruen as the bupa version of himself, so I guess there’s that....

What did Oakland pay as far as draft picks?

I'm interested to see the Raiders this year and next. I reckon they'll turn a few heads tbh.
Eagles look very strong. A dark horse for sure.
Browns and Bally will go well and I think Jets may get a spot in finals.

Third and fifth round picks.

We will continue to struggle,and I'll tell you why:

* Carr is massively over-rated
* Paul Guenther is one of the worst defensive co-ordinators in the NFL
* Gruden has no idea about the modern game; he insists on players with attitude, over players with skill, and athleticism

Pats are obvious favourites, as they should be every year. Chiefs could be a contender for the AFC title though.

I’m interested in how the Packers will go this season. They are always thereabouts but can’t go all the way but I think they could be a good tip this year.
I’m hoping the Niners get some Playoff action but not expecting it to happen. I would like to see considerable improvement though.

Third and fifth round picks.

Well they should get a compensatory pick I assume for it.

Is Carr rated? I think he is ok but no star.
Oakland will go ok this season. I see 8-8

Rams,Eagles,Seattle,Dallas,Saints, Minnesota are all a chance.
Carolina and packers and bears arent out of it.

Other side
Bally
Kansas
NE
Texans
Browns

If Luck didnt retire maybe Colts.

 

[T.S Quint]

I don’t see Houston or Cleveland being serious contenders just yet.

 

[jk13]

Ohhhhhh yeah!!!!!!

Shit ton of rust, but the D ate a 3 course meal, sooo good

Many people think he's Pro Bowl standard.

I think he's a bum.

Me either. Same as Panthers. But I wouldn't completely dismiss.

I think he is just ok. If doesn't perform this season I would draft a guy.
