The NFL Thread

I would say that at this point one more year isn't going to make a difference.  He won't be able to walk by the time he's 50

and you're basing that on...?

The Packers defense looked awesome on that first set of downs.

My thoughts exactly  

Nice response from the Pack offense though

[Kopfjäger]

Yeah, The Colts D looked strong as well. 

[superjohn]

The Texans are looking strong against the Cowpokes.

[Kopfjäger]

I can only hope that the D bags play like this all year.

HOW 'BOUT THEM COWBOYS

Tebow looked strong Sunday night while they stomped the shit out of Pittsburgh.

I was never convince that Tebow's playing would translate very well to the NFL. I'm still on the fence considering that he really hasn't faced a real #1 defense.

To me, Tebow is a hard one to figure out.  He's definitely a baller and a great leader but he just didn't throw it that much in college.  I think that he has tremendous upside and if he works hard (we know he will) I think he can become a really good NFL QB.  He's got to be better than Leinart, Russel, etc.

He threw it plenty in college. That's why we know that he's historically an inaccurate passer with a low and slow delivery. By inaccurate, I mean that seldom was the ball delivered into tight coverage or where a reciever could take it in stride in Tebow's college career. I can understand making a project out of the guy. I'm just not sure why one burns a 1st round pick on a project.
Oh well, if he fails, maybe we get to see him cry like he did against Bama in the SEC championship game 

[duccarlos]

he can't be worse than Russel. Leinart is a good QB. Look at his stats from this past weekend's game. 9 for 10 with a passer rating of 135? His issue is his arm strength. The cardinals want a QB that can through it up for Fitzgerald. I would put Leinart to run a west coast offense where the deep ball is not as important.

Tebow was pretty much a running back that could occasionally through the ball. What made him such a good QB in college and will most likely kill him in the NFL was that the linebackers could just not fall back into coverage and when they did, he would simply run the ball. Beyond the fact that if he runs in the NFL, they will remove his head, the secondary is much better and the linebackers are much faster. If he studies the game as Peyton and becomes a cerebral QB, then he might do well.

Well don't fall off and hit your head.
