crying shame if it goes wrong people will be looking at this draft in 10 years saying the texans where idiots for taking an injury prone player ::rolleyes:

really hope he can get back but even if he stays healthy next year is will likely be at least the year after until he's right (or as close to right as he can be)

Adrian Peterson has had his appeal denied. His suspension stands.

not sure if this has been said here but the league announced and instantly implemented a new player conduct policy during the week

I really hate the talk of Warner coming back. Have people short memories or something? QB's are not gonna be the same when they're not constantly keeping their mind on the game. Keeping in shape is one thing, but being able to be a starting NFL QB is on a different level entirely.

I would love to see that though. It would make for a great story. I know a lot of people are joking about this, but Denver were winning games with him throwing 8-15 times a game. Why not turn into an all out rushing team with that defence and maybe throw 3 or 4 bombs downfield?

I wonder what the serious options are now though? John Skelton was in Arizona a few years ago and is available I think. Maybe Josh Freeman? Can you really expect to win with Ryan Lindley or Logan Thomas?

Because they have the worst running game in the league, and placed their #1 RB on IR during the week. And also because Tebow is a terrible, terrible quarterback.

I reckon sticking with Lindley is their best bet. There's a reason nobody has wanted too touch Freeman with a ten foot pole for a while now, and if they are going to just bring someone else in now then there wasn't much point in having him there at all in the first place. There really isn't anyone on the market otherwise I can think of.

tebow was one of the worst qbs in the game and people where still talking about him daily months after he left the league and years after it was evident he was not of a sufficient standard to play in the league id really rather not rekindle that fire also i have little to no faith in a player who's best trait is that "he has god on his side"

Not many QB's floating around who have won a playoff game while throwing for 300 yards

The Cards are in a really tough spot now. Lindley is not even back up quality, howitzer arm aside Thomas is a long way from being ready for NFL action. It seems Stanton might be back for the playoffs but think they are one & done irregardless which is a shame.

Nah ESPN would! NFL network would just have them clowns call a "players only meeting" and shows us all the best way to kneel correctly!

Browns on Sky again tonight

Blacked out on Gamepass again. If Johnny turns out good for the rest of the season, there may be no point in renewing next season. We got NFC and AFC west next year meaning the odd late game and if he is crowned starter i take it we'll break our MNF hoodoo.

Do Pats,Colts,Broncos,Packers(Teams that are regularly on Sky and Primetime) even bother with Gamepass?

I'll always have a soft spot for Tebow. Just as I was really starting to get hooked on the game, it was the same time that Tebow was pulling off those miracle wins. This was madness:

Billy86 · 14-12-2014 1:30pm

In truth, if the Cardinals are to sign a free agent QB I think their best bet is probably one of Garrard or Seneca Wallace (or Leftwich, but he is two years out of the league). The likes of Warner and Favre are too long out of the league and unrealistic, while they have a big aura of being a team without any real individuals (kind of like the Browns in a sense) - just another reason Tebow would make no seense. Either way, they are in for a real struggle even if they win out and hold on to the #1 seed for the playoffs.

JaMarcusHustle · 14-12-2014 1:54pm

I think there's zero chance they sign a free agent to start given what the coaches and players have been preaching all year.

In other news, here's some pre-6pm viewing hot off the press. The U part 2.

DeAngelo Tyson is a 5th round pick from a few years for the Ravens. Solid player who is part of the defensive end rotation

I have never ever heard of a player missing a game due to jury duty. He is inactive this week as he missed practice.

Tyson served jury duty on Thursday instead of prepping for the Ravens' most important game of the year.

"That’s a first," Harbaugh said. "What can I say about it? I'm not in charge of jury duty."

Tyson was picked for a jury in a civil case involving a car accident. The jury found the plaintiff was not injured in the collision.

Teammates ribbed Tyson for his absence, saying "Did you give him life? and "How about life with no chance of parole?"

"I think it’s a task that you have to do when you get called," Tyson said. "It was an opportunity to experience how juries are able to convict a case. If I had to do it again, I wouldn’t. I don’t want to be the one to give someone a sentence or anything like that. Luckily, it wasn’t that kind of case."

That's going to be a five star game anyway. I'll be giving that game a skip I think. this game could be Viking-Giants bad.

18-12-2014 12:59am

an interesting article for anyone interested on eagles 2012 first round pick danny watkins (the 26 year old firefighter and one of the worst picks in recent eagles history) he was 6 foot 3 ,305 pounds and agile coming out of college he was very intelligent he was mature and he had shut down von miller in college many people claimed he would have been a top 10 pick had he been younger, howard mudd (legendary o-line coach spent years in the league many of them protecting peyton in imdi) felt comfortable leaving him one on one with kong suh such was his talents in theory...... but he flamed out did absolutely nothing in the league its a great example of how sometimes the most sure of draft picks just dont work out (he's now a fire fighter in dallas)

The quick termination in my opinion looks very bad in terms of his innocence/guilt. Reminded me of Hernandez last summer when a lot were saying it was way too quick to sack him, only a day or so after the story broke. I'm guessing it's the same here - the team have more info than we do, and it's not good.
