NFL Discussion Thread: Pats win SB XLIX. Offseason begins

[Maximus Meridius]

Jaws has Eli at #11 on his QB rankings. Whatever, man.

More than half the league has trash QBs and average QBs. I don't see a problem with him at 11.

I'm saying. Ain't like he put him in the top 5. The dudes that he's ahead of really haven't done that much.



I already know Russell Wilson will be too high.

 

[651akathepaul]

Eli was one of the worst last year. He based that ranking off of two rings being on Eli's hand.

 

[Maximus Meridius]

So?


You can't go by one year. You gotta look at the body of work and based on that he put him at #11.

 

[gmsboy1]

I'm glad he figured it out, and is staying out of trouble.

Always good to see people grow. This thread could use that as well

 

[651akathepaul]

Says who? Does it matter today, what the Giants and Eli was apart of in 2007? You know how many new QB's have come in to the league since then?...Since '11 for that matter... What have you done for me lately Eli?

Well, homerific seems to think that he's still half better than the entire leagues Q's. Wrong. Eli threw the most interceptions in the NFL last year. Not only that, but he did so by throwing 5 more than the next person. He was also ranked 32nd in completion percentage of all quarterbacks eligible for the stat (only 37). Now...I don't know what your criteria is, nor do I really care, but no top 15 quarterback for me ranks last or below 30 in any of those categories. Quit fooling ya'll selves into thinking Eli is great. He's not.

Eli had one great year and two great playoff runs resulting in 2 sb victories. Overall in his career he's been above average at best that's it.

Def agree with this

Fact.

I wonder how long Aldon Smith is going to get suspended by Goodell. I hope they don't go out of control and do like 10 games. I'm hoping 6, but if he gets more, I think the Niners depth is enough to keep us above water at olb/de with hopefully a health Tank Carradine.

Oooh, shall we talk about the time two very well known Vikings players were caught in a compromising situation with an underage girl?

yikes

 

[651akathepaul]

******* Kluwe.

It used to be only about Priefer. Now he's threatening to drag some former teammates into it? No good.

 

[snax91]

I wonder if Kluwe will eventually say who the two players were?

 

[stillin729]

Kluwe is about to drop some bombs

 

[651akathepaul]

I'm pretty much ready for anyone to be named.

Kluwe is a persistent ****, but I don't know how far he can really press this legally.

 

[stillin729]

I'm guessing he names AP which wouldn't shock me after the other allegations of how many kids he has which did shock me

 

[sb]

Kaep gotta be #1 since he's the best QB of all time

Kaep is the realist best dbl threat in the league

unless he is throwing a fade route

 

[MajinZuub]

I don't think Kluwe is gonna name teammates it seems like his vendetta is more focused at the Vikings organization.

How do yall feel about wearing jerseys of teams your aren't a fan of?

I've rooted for the Saints for about a decade but full on buying a jersey feels wrong but for 25 bucks I'm thinking about it.

 

[CP1708]

I have some, don't bother me a bit.

Have a Hester and a Moss. Lookin at Graham, Calvin or Shady next.

Depends on the jersey, the number, and the player I guess.

 

[mister friendly]

You buy whatever jersey you like but if you're a hardcore Lions fans you'll rarely wear it

I bought a McGrady Rockets jersey on a steep discount but I never wore outside the house because me being a Spurs fan, I felt so dirty wearing it

 

[nick.]

All good imo. I'll only wear another teams gear if it's one of my favorite players. I'll gladly rock a Megatron jersey, but you won't find me in a shirt that says "Lions Football".

 

[hymen man]

Just leave Kluwe.

I get it he's pissed and advocating for what he believes in, which is fine with me.. but putting teammates under the bus..

We as fans put too much stock into our own loyalty compared to players, owners, ect.

Should never feel bad about rocking what you want
