NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[do work son]

Trading one 30 year old QB for another isn't the best idea of it interferes with resigning the best defensive player on the planet. Best bet is cut ties with Schaub and foster, draft a qb and sign tate.

Arian's in a five-year, $43.5M deal. Offload for picks is your implication.

How does Darren McFadden avoid the bust talk?

That's why I ended it with /fantasy

DMC: Injury bug, Oakland wasteland, lack of West Coast exposure.

How does Darren McFadden avoid the bust talk?

He looked good when he played. People figured he would stop getting hurt and would be good.

But he's a bust, no doubt. Raiders won't offer him a good contract come offseason.

 

[champcruthik]

DMC, Felix, Hillis at Arkansas. Ronnie, Caddy, Tate at Auburn.

Sucio.

Raiders / Chargers moved to 830 PST due to A's Playoff Game at 6 on Saturday will be on NFL Network

I don't think lack of exposure is his particular issue...

DMC: Injury bug, Oakland wasteland, lack of West Coast exposure.

If he didn't get hurt and miss 10 games he would of been a really good player and the team would of been better. He's gone after this season. Can't say I'm upset at this point

 

[champcruthik]

Meaning his bust factor is under reported because of ESPN's East Coast bias.

DMC is overshadowed by the Mark Sanchez debacles on the East.

Oh got it. You're right about that.

I remember these ESPN guys all said after McClain and McFadden that the Raiders were making great picks and had finally turned their drafting around. So called draft experts....

 

[cash money 1999]

 
Can't remember where I heard it, maybe on the BS Report pod, but someone suggested a hypothetical trade of something like the following:

Texans give:

Matt Schaub

1st rd pick

Steelers give:

Big Ben

5th rounder (or something)

almost definitely would never happen, but man, would it be interesting. Tail end of Big Ben's career is gonna get railroaded in Pitt anyway.

bill simmons love him some trade talk

Eagles and Giants deserve to tie 7-7 on Sunday

I think they deserve to tie 30-30 with 4 interceptions and 2 fumbles apiece.

Well on draft day Mel Kuiper compared JaWalrus to John Elway

 

[Peep Game]

Richard Sherman said the texans offensive was predicable

It is, especially when the play calling gets into "let's play not to lose instead of playing to win" mode

Hey JaWalrus just needs a shot man.

Thowing 80 yards from the knees g. #practicalfootballskills

Damn, that sounds great!

 

[SneakerProSr.]

I remember Todd McShay saying Jamarcus and Calvin both pulled the greatest workouts in draft history.

I'm like in the entire history of the NFL the two best workouts ever happened in the same year? A week apart?

Typical ESPN hype.

 

[champcruthik]

The one game JaMarcus wowed me was the LSU bowl game. Off the top, think it was against ND? Cannon on display.

Well obviously they wouldn't want to do it if it interferes with resigning JJ. He's amazing. They need to do everything in their power to resign him. I was just throwing out what I heard.

But what's the difference in salary between Big Ben and Schaub? Does Ben really make that much more?

And is foster cut-able? What's his guaranteed money look like? Funny to even ask tho. He was the texans best player outside of watt on Sunday. He ran all over our D in the first half. Then Houston's play calling politely derailed him lol

 

[mczoot]

Also, new to the thread. Love any NFL discussion (intelligent or not haha). So I didn't know about the previous Texans QB discussion.
