NFL Topics

that don't involve the Packers? well, no vikings, beers, lions or colts talk either since there are threads for those teams also. as far as Leinart holding out, or any other rookie for that matter, I totally disagree. what a bunch of bunk, these guys have never even stepped foot on a professional field and they are suddenly in position to dictate what they are worth? It'd be one thing if he was offered a 500,000 contract, that obviously isn't the case. get in there, shut up, SHOW SOMETHING, and then talk about money AFTER you've earned it. oh, and I'm mildly amused by seeing TO riding the exercise bike instead of practicing! haha

They were cut

Did Boomer and Simms retire or were they cut

Apparently the  NFL doesnt endorse biological evolution   HAHA

The 2024 International Schedule is set

CBS makes major changes to 'NFL Today':  the network announced Monday that 2016 league MVP Matt Ryan will be joining the cast of "The NFL Today," while longtime veterans Phil Simms and Boomer Esiason will not be returning.

The helmet guardian caps have officially been authorized for in-game use this season which is a potentially huge move for player health, I am curious if will they be painted like the helmets they are wearing ?

Yes I would agree Zman, its the smart move for the franchise, I was making the comments more for JF since he got blindsided by the Bears during his tenure.  Anyhow hopefully he gets a chance to shine and get a decent contract after this season

That’s pretty much expected considering everything surrounding the situation in Pittsburgh. The 5th year money would be equivalent to a starting quarterback’s deal. Fields is not their starter (as of now) and giving him that money wouldn’t be in the best interest for the team. For the Steelers, this is just a one year rental and if he works out they can resign him or let him walk away in free agency 

Hope this isnt the case for Fields, maybe Wilson get benched and JF gets a chance to shine

Getting pretty excited for the Draft on Thursday.  Next year it will be crazy when it's here in Green Bay!

Yeah, Harrison Junior looks pretty good. Even though fields is no good for starting quarterback in the NFL. I thought the Bears would sure keep him and make sure they get Harrison. I think he’ll be a game changer like a Jamar, Chase, or Jefferson from the Vikings

Chaw, I avoid rankings due to insufficient info.  I would put more weight into the player’s character, smarts, and work ethic if I were a GM.  I also don’t watch much NCAAF.  As a numbers guy, I question how fine a line there is between multiple players with a rating of 98 or 6.9 depending on whatever scale scouts use.

I will say Harrison Jr. is hard to pass up because of his Dad’s work ethic.  Have to think that rubbed off to make him pro ready.

I also view McCarthy as a guy who finds a way to win.  He may not have the athletic testing scores to match others but his substance may be better than their form.  But, maybe Harbaugh and his teammates deserve more of the credit to make him a winner.  Just based on my impressions of him, I have always thought McCarthy was being overlooked since he announced he was entering the draft.

I hope to be around long enough to watch how this QB class develops.
