The NFL Thread

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.

it also shows that he attempted far less passes than Peyton and what it doesn't show is how many times he would run vs. pass. 99% of the time Peyton would throw it if he went back to pass.

Gomer can't run, that's why he threw more in college.

Timmy played well tonight (even though the Vikes kicked their ass). I think he was 12-16 for 165yds.

Bradford had another decent outing as well.

I think that's the only downside of Bradford is his injury history. Tebow will probably make an excellent backup.

Been watching Hard Knocks on HBO. I hate the Jets with a passion, but I wish the Raiders had Rex Ryan as their head coach.

I've always hated the Jets too but now I'll route for them every game.  Rex Ryan is an amazing coach.  How about those rants last night?  Dude is TV gold.

Who's ready for Saints/Old Mans tonight?  Should be a great game but I see Brees coming out sharp and the Saints scoring a bunch of points even though the Vikings have a great D.

Saints won't lose tonight.

That was a sweet touchdown pass by Bret. 

[duccarlos]

Brees has been throwing sweet passes all night. Sweet blocked kick too.

Apparently not enough that led to touchdowns.

That was a nice drive by the Taint's.

Great call Ref. Dumbass. 

[duccarlos]

You gotta catch that shit. Can't drop passes like that in the end zone. The kicker is sucking ass.

Not the best opening day game, but congrats to the Saints.
