Arena The Official NFL Discussion Thread (Now Featuring Time's Person of the Year, Taylor Swift!)

Apparently so.

 

This isn't the first time I've seen a GM in any major sport get fired right after the draft. The Portland Trail Blazers did the same to Kevin Pritchard a few years ago...circa 2011 or 2012 if I'm not mistaken? One fan was quoted by the press as calling the move "worse than the Jail Blazers" (and the GM that got canned in that case was the same GM that ended the Jail Blazers era of the framchise to begin with).

can anyone who watched him on a regular basis tell me anything about QB Davis Webb? the media are comparing the Giants situation with letting him learn under Eli for two years to Aaron Rodgers holding a clip board for three years behind Favre, might the Giants have the next Aaron Rodgers or Tom Brady waiting in the wings or is that reaching a bit?

 

I think claiming that you have one the top 10 all time QBs on your roster as a backup is always reaching until it actually happens.

 

yea probably true I never made that assumption though just reiterating what was said on NFL Network and a radio call in show on the Giants.com the two hosts are Giants beat writers. I just figured this is a big message board we might have some Cal fans or Texas Tech fans on here who saw him actually play and can tell me if he is any good?

If anyone is interested in an Article mostly highlighting Webs work ethic and he is the son of a college coach and when he retires from playing football he wants to get into coaching! So he has great work ethic, had a great scouting combine, and has second round draft talent a lot of scouts had him going in the second round...

I'm pretty happy with the 49ers' draft. Now, I'm just waiting for training camp to get these guy in and see if the culture has change with the new regime.

The Raiders had a questionable draft in terms of quality of character, but I feel like they addressed some needs.

 

Ask me in about three years how the Packers did on this draft

 

were you a Raiders fan? if so what do you think of there moving to Vegas?

 

I'm still a Raiders fan. I'm not happy with the move to Las Vegas, but I wasn't happy when they moved to Los Angeles. It just sucks the city of Oakland is money strapped and couldn't work out a deal to keep the team as they supported the during some really bad years. As long as I can watch them on TV I'll still be a fan. I just hope they can win a Super Bowl before the make the move and give the city of Oakland one last fond memory of the team.

 

Aaron Hernandez is now linked to "Murderabilia."

[Daria voice]Color me shocked. Shocked I tell you. [/Daria voice]

 

Justin Forsett retires.

 

So apparently Jamal Charles signed a one year deal with the Broncos.

 

I just won a vintage Lawrence Taylor jersey off of eBay for 15 bucks.... I'm excited. Yes, I'm a Pats fan, but I collect jerseys.... and this one is special.

 

Cocaine is a helluva drug.

 

Jay Cutler's following Tony Romo into the broadcast booth... On Fox.

 

Well, he's not completely closing the door (even less so than Tony Romo did), and all it takes is one QB going down...

 

I wouldn't want Culter in San Francisco. He's been injury prone and lacks good leadership qualities.

 

^ That's pretty much why the 49ers or anyone was interested in signing the guy. He's like the modern day Jeff George.

The Niners are in the first year of the Shanahan/Lynch era, and they're going for a slow built with a lot of young players and they don't need a sourpuss in the starring role to set the example. It was an easy pass on Cutler. The Niners just need to win four games and they'll double the number of wins from the previous season and it will be considered a good year.
