The Weird, Wacky and Awesome World of the NFL - General Banter thread V3

Yeah....I thought it didn't look like that much of a collision/hit either.

Must be something serious underlying.....I hope it has a good ending like Eriksen.

Well I said last year wasn't a great class. I've said many times that I don't fancy anybody from the next year. I've like one QB who wasn't ranked in the top three on occasion and I've been right and wrong in those. I've more often than not said that the top picks shouldn't be taken so high and I've been right more than wrong on those comments.

I didn't think Mahomes would make it because I thought he wouldn't get away with chances he took in college and I was way wrong on that one.

The last QB I was absolutely certain about was Andrew Luck. Caleb Williams is better than Andrew Luck. There's four or five NFL starters in the 2024 class.

Next year's class is now this year's class. I don't like Bryce Young. Stroud is a quandary to me, lots to like but also plenty of question marks.

I do like Malik Cunningham a lot.

Where's the best place(bar) in ireland to watch the superbowl,I fancy watching it with some fellow enthusiasts this year

We're running out ways for defenders to tackle QBs at this point. Every time you touch them you risk a penalty.

I had been hoping for overtime as it seemed fair and an interesting end for a neutral but after that call I didn't want it changing the game.

I am really curious what the official thought they saw. Did they think Cousins was slammed down as I can see similarities to the motion that concussed Tua? Did the head contact look more severe from their point of view?

I'm not biased, it was a BS call.

There's been a few cases this year where the defender plays it safe ad pulls out of the tackle, only for the QB to fake the pass and run away with the ball. It's ruining the game.

Ran Carthon hired as the Titans new GM. Results in the 49ers get a 3rd additional 3rd round comp pick in the upcoming draft for a diversity hire.

Fingers crossed DeMeco Ryans holds out another year from becoming a HC to keep some coaching consistency but also save the additional comp pick (would only get 1 additional pick now if he goes this year).

Sean Payton is back as Denver HC. Saints get Denver's 2023 1st round pick at 29 and 2024 2nd round pick and aswell as an unspecified future 3rd round pick. The Waltons must be throwing him some wad of cash to turn this Denver offense and Russell Wilson around

The big question mark is Wilson. There's gotta be a suspicion that Pete Carroll's offense made him look better than he actually is given what's transpired. You've got Wilson looking awful and Geno Smith who always looked awful now looking like a great QB.

If Payton can't get Wilson back to where he was in Seattle they are in big trouble for the foreseeable future.

TB12 has retired again.

Yes Payton will have to work wonders whether he will is another story, but he is one of few coaches who will give Denver a chance to get back into the play-offs

How would that even be in doubt? When you have a QB of the level of Brees it's pretty clear he had a lot to do with the impressive numbers the offense put up.

It was a rhetorical question

Unfortunately the Aaron Rodgers annual soap drama continues in earnest.
