The NFL Thread

[cyrus buelton]

I am interested to see how that high priced QB will play.

His name slips my mind, but isn't he getting like 15mil for his first year?



I personally think that is a waste.


Also........I disagree about Brady Quinn; I think he sucks. However, I'll take his salary for holding a clipboard and wearing a headset!

Sam Bradford?

PACKERS!!!


I just wanna see Aaron Rodgers and the Pack take the Vikes behind the woodshed.

Bradford and Sugh better enjoy it because they're the last rookies to get big contracts.  It makes absolutely no sense to me that these guys are making more than Brees and Manning.  The NFL is so messed up.  Enjoy this year guys because they'll be a lock-out next year. I think it sucks but it will end up making the NFL better long-term.

OK  Seneca Wallace isn't anything special...just ask Seahawks fans.

I am a Seahawks fan! Wallace never really got to be used as Holmgren wanted because Charlie Frye wasn't ready to be the #2 guy behind Hasselback. Then Holmgren's exodus to Cleveland, followed by Wallace -- maybe?

[redxblack]

Seneca Wallace delivered in the preseason game against Green Bay tonight. He had 3 series and made 2 TD passes. His QB rating was 120. BUT it's just preseason and he's playing for cleveland, so there's plenty of time for him to blow it.

Sorry Tebow, you look like you could to do well in the NFL...too bad you got drafted by the Browns.

Tebow plays for the Broncos.

Sorry, I was thinking of Quinn when I was typing that. I dont see why they took Quinn when they paid Tebow so much money. its not like Quinn has tons of experience as an NFL starter.

The Browns have made a habit of drafting a top QB, hyping him as the next franchise QB (which they have not had since 1985-1993) and then watching them wash up. Tim Couch was the same thing as Brady Quinn, and as Colt McCoy will be.

Browns STARTING QBs since 1999 -- Detmer, Couch, Pederson, Holcolm, Garcia, Dilfer, Frye, Anderson, Quinn, Delhomme. (they also had Wynn, McCown, Dorsey, Gradkowski start due to injuries).

The Browns looked pretty good against the Packers 1st string but mainly on Offense.

The Browns did win the game 27-24.

The Brown's Offensive line looks better.

Delhomme looked sharp, Wallace looked real good at QB for Cleveland.

McCoy didn't do too well in the throwing dept. , he was blitzed a lot although he did pickup 2-3rd downs w, 2-15 yrd. scrambles.

He went out of the game after he hurt his hand when he hit a players Helmet as he released the ball.

Robiskie dropped a couple of passes he should have caught early but then made just a spectacular corner of the end zone catch getting both feet down as he went out on his head.

Bruce on " All Bets Are Off " said that Mike Holmgren, the Brown's new President, always likes to draft a QB each year.

If nothing else McCoy will be good to trade in the future for some needed players .

Well, Seattle does have a history of pro athletes leaving here and going on to be very good players elsewhere. Cleveland may be in luck this time! 

[redxblack]

IF Seattle could have gotten a really solid third string QB and allowed Wallace to play more options, they would have never let him go. Holmgren had big plans for that guy.

I went to school w/ Charlie Frye at U of Akron and hoped he might be that backup QB the seahawks needed. No such luck.

Undrafted rookie from U-Mass

Victor Cruz. looks like hes going to be a SOLID receiver. I wonder if the giants are going to sign him. guys got some serious hands and awareness.

[nicrosato]

I noticed the Jets had a rookie left guard from U-Mass, a huge guy who was a tackle in college.

Are they running a stealth football factory up in Amherst?
