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

[gunna get it]

I was talking to my brother yesterday and I was telling him I really don't see what everybody see with Percy...

Maybe I just haven't watched him enough. Could it be that he's not your typical WR?

Like dude up there just said most of his catches are glorified runs. But does he deserve to be mentioned with the Top WRs?

yeah, you're not watching him enough

 

[airblaster503]

its easy to call it "a mans game" when you're watching from home. But 20 years down the line, when these guys can't walk, have early onset dementia (Brian Westbrook is experiencing it now), ect....is it ever worth it? Like it was mentioned earlier, 30 years ago it was legal to clothesline guys, they banned it, and we havent missed it since.

And once again, running with your head down, leading with the crown of your helmet is not a fundamental of football. you're taught to run with eyes up, and you can lower your shoulder and keep your eyes up.

And also, the fact that the fans want to see it, doesnt negate the right to a decent quality of life after football that these guys deserve. If you voluntarily signed your kids up for football, would you teach them to run like that?

Well if it is something that players acknowledge, why do they need a rule to enforce it. I can tell you why, because players accept the risks they are taking on the field, they are more concerned about now. All the owners are concerned with is covering their *** for the future, that is what waivers are signed for. I am interested to see if you actually see the change on the field, it is still going to be natural for a player running in open field about to get hit to lower their helmet.

Dude led the nfl in all purpose yards and was a MVP candadite before my hawks busted his ankle. Who cares how you get your yards aslong as you get them?

I just asked a question. Like I said, I've seen him play but obviously not enough to understand the hype around him. Wasnt hating at all.

But I do know he was having a great year before he got injured. It will be interesting to see how he does with Sea this year.

Ill just pay more attention this season.

Pacman back to the Bengals..

 

[licensed to ball]

PAC quietly had a nice year.

Everything about that statement would be impossible to believe 3 years ago.

its not natural though, and its not coached like that on and level

NFL schedule to be released April 16th.

 

[dacomeup]

Pacman back to the Bengals..

Lock Big Dre up and we've had a nice offseason. Still don't understand bringing Rey back if it's not to play SLB.

 

[mpire]

give me any wr + aaron rodgers..


greg jennings gonna be on a milk carton with ponder throwing him the rock...

cant wait to see arod turn some dude we never heard of into a top 3 receiver next year....clockwork..


 @jennings putting up percy numbers...majority of percys 'catches' were glorified runs..at or behind the line of scrimmage...jennings is a bomb receiver but hes just that..a receiver. i expect a MAJOR falloff in production

The funny thing about all this Jennings discussion and "Dez just finally having a nice year."

Dez Bryant first 30 games: 121 rec, 1653 yards, 15 Touchdowns (17 TOTAL TDs if you include the PR's) is better than or equal to the following WR's first 30 games:

Greg Jennings
Reggie Wayne
Michael Irvin
Terrell Owens
Steve Smith
Vincent Jackson
Santonio Holmes

But hey, like I said, I'm used to it

LOL Irsay.

I wish he wouldnt say anything.

 

[651akathepaul]

I've been saying it all along...Greg Jennings is #1 in the League.




Syyykkkkkeeeee...Glad he's in purple this year, but guys like CJ, Fitz, Dez, AJ, etc., are just different breeds.

 

[Clyde Frog]

Vikings fans are the worst. Only Vikings fans would say Greg Jennings is top 3.

The joke carries over right? he's off our hands now.

Thats a tough list but I'd take dez over Percy as a wr id also take him over Julio i believe he has better stats correrct me if I'm wrong.. also fitz but thats only because of his qb situation and age if he gets a good qb dez is under him in my opinion.

Was more so saying over looked because of the drama that follows the cowboys, somehow he is considered a diva which is incorrect.. a little slow yes but he isn't the flashy look at me type of guy people claim him to be. His stats are solid rising every year he has been in the league and they are better than many greats before and alot of his peers but he is over looked becaus of perception. Oh and his qb tossing picks like he has a paper route :x
