Jarryd Hayne to the NFL!

[WaznTheGreat]

Jarryd is pretty much gonna have to score a touchdown on his first ever punt return to make it in the NFL if given the chance in a donkey warmup game,he doesn't have much time to impress,one error and the guy is f**ked.

Or god forbid, major injury.

Fantastic, now he can play 6 minutes every week. Must be awesome.

6 minutes!
For a punt/kick returner. Not even close.
1 minute maybe if your team is especially crap and has to field a lot of kicks.
Or if your team is especially good to field a lot of punts.
San Francisco is neither.

Surely he won't swallow that shit sandwich. Just come back Haynesy we need a f**king fullback and we are set for 2016. The party is over!!

There's only 17 minutes of action in a 60 minute game. Which lasts for three hours.

What a shit sport.

 

[T.S Quint]

Pfft.
Great sport.

If you are involved in something you genuinely love, why would you care?

I could hit I triangle once an entire concert if it meant I was playing with say Metallica or Korn or something.

He could get a couple of hundred thousand US dollars to be part of special teams and that may be all he cares about.

Sure his competitive spirit may get the better of him but I guess it depends on the whole package and what he may believe he is working towards. He may think in 2 years he could legitimately be a running back and would be happy to bide his time on special teams.

I personally think soccer is the most boring sport in the world yet billions would disagree with me, do I care? Nope! Do they care what I think? Of course not.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say.

 

[Avenger]

Look if I grew up in the U.S. I probably would have been into it. However ignorance is bliss. From where I'm standing it looks boring.

 

[T.S Quint]

It can be boring. Just like any sport can be boring at times. Rugby League can be boring.
It takes a while to get used to the stoppages, but when you do it becomes part of the game. Sometimes it can get pretty dramatic and tense during a timeout or stoppage if the game is a particularly close one.
When the action is on though, there is some really exciting stuff to watch.

But I understand why people don't like it. Can't fault anybody for their opinion when it comes to which sport they like. I for one can't watch soccer or ice hockey, two sports some of my friends follow religiously.
But I love NFL, basketball and cricket - three sports that are considered boring to a large section of people.

 

[Avenger]

Nice analysis TSQ. With Hayne there is a element of ego and I don't think his pride will take just returning kicks. He has been quoted many times as wanting to be a running back or wide receiver. Cannot remember him wanting to be just a kick returner. I could be wrong though.

Summing up, he needs to be the focal point and returning punts in my limited knowledge of the NFL does not seem to feed Hayne's insatiable appetite to be the man.

I watch most NFL/College games after taping them, and use the skip button to jump 20-25 seconds between plays if I don't have much time. Works a treat for me.

Taping? You need to get into the digital age...

I get the NFL Gamepass every year.
It gives the option of watching games with every stoppage taken out. All you see is the action.
The games only go for about 30 minutes that way. Great way to watch a couple of games per night.

I do watch the Niners games with stoppages though. The condensed games don't have replays, and I like to see the big plays again.
Plus you don't get the same feeling watching a condensed game, so for the Niners I watch it all.

Yeh, it's a PITA finding shops with stock of Betamax cassettes.

I watch the Colts games live no matter where I am and what time, I've got a portable wifi for that specific purpose. The others I either download the condensed version and watch at work or I watch at home during the week.

I get the $200 a year package that has every game including the Super Bowl. I think packages start from just over $100 depending on what you want.

Now they just need to do the same with College games and that would be perfect.

 

[T.S Quint]

What does that cost you?

I get the regular season package which gives you every regular season game plus the preseason games.
I don't bother with the playoffs because they are all shown on Foxtel.
Costs $160.
I share it with my brother so we only pay $80 each. If you can find someone to share with it is the best way to do it. Only thing is just one device can be logged into the account at a time. Which works out for me - my brother watches the game during the day while I'm at work, then I log in when I get home.
