OFFICIAL NFL Discussion Thread: 2015-16 Season - Congrats to the Denver Broncos and their fans! SB 5

Clowney has no desire to be the best

Sad but true, thought he would be a monster.

Throw enough **** at a wall and some of it is bound to stick.

Foreals tho, everyone wants credit for making the most vague obvious predictions.

"I always said LeBron James would be a good basketball player."

No ****

 

[stillin729]

I am still trying to determine what Sammy Watkins will be

 

[willzway26]

Something seriously wrong with that Texans team's training staff the same players get hurt every year.

And their concussion protocol is a joke

 

[the collector]

Probably the Jags.  Simply because they play in the AFC South.

Jags could legit finish in 2nd place this season. Bucs and Fins have close to no chance at this point of even doing that looking at the rest of the divisions they play in.

Jags are a team I have no pulse on though. I couldn't tell you what their issues are because I don't follow them at all.

I really dont get the Clowney hate lol

Incredibly small sample size on a very dysfunctional team at the moment.

 

[proshares]

I'm still waiting to see if Bortles can do what he does in garbage time throughout the entire game instead of putting them in that position in the first place. If he can (I think he has a shot) paired with that up and coming defense, they'll be fine.

 

[mr2cool80]

FLA has 3 NFL teams and all of them are bad currently. Who turns it around makes the playoffs first between the 3?

Ehhhh.......

I think he is going to be ok, he might never be a superstar but he can be Flacco like

Everybody hates Clowney because ever since ESPN hyped him up he has done NOTHING

Underachieved last year in SC and underachieved every year since.

I was high on the guy myself I wanted him to do well, he has all the physical gifts but he's not putting it all together.

You see the potential but not the production.  Im not saying he's soft but he has been a big disappointment.  He's a lineman who sat out half his rookie season for knee sprains and hamstring pulls, then you got a guy like Gurley running for 150 yards after he blew his knee out less than a year ago.

Clowney

Those "can't miss prospects" usually miss.

This is why I'm so against tanking. However it's not too late for him, but who knows...

Or it could be something wrong with the players themselves ? Foster and Clowney have injury histories going back to college. Cushing's 2 injuries were due to cheap shots.

That concussion thing though, man, I've never seen a player who had obviously been knocked silly go right back in a game like that, or maybe not on a prime time stage like that.

he is soft, some people just don't have the desire but their skills make up for it until they hit the NFL and some even do well anyway

 

[rillo561]

Seemed like they didn't even question why foster was on the field. Very strange

 

[stillin729]

2014 re-draft would have the top 5 for me...

1. Mack
2. Aaron Donald
3. Zack Martin
4. Beckham Jr
5. CJ Mosley

 

[whoyouthink]

Clowney hype was over 1 monster hit on a Michigan RB

nice "leader" of the defense that is

He just works there bruh.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

Mack Donald

 

[licensed to ball]

Mosley tho

 

[Hahahaha]

I didn't trust Clowney one damn bit even leading back to the year before he declared for the draft. I got roasted for it on here....I would love to go back and see who were the dudes in there coming at me about him.

I feel like mad people on here didn't like Clowney.

 

[CP1708]

Quietly, Tavon Austin starting to emerge.

I've been waiting.

 

[stillin729]

That is a correct statement

many people soured on him after his 2013 college season

 

[proshares]

I would put Donald clearly above Mack. He's been playing like the best D lineman in the NFL. Such a physical beast. When he lifted Carpenter clean up off the field last season

Dude has every tool that a DT needs.
