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

It's crazy with the Eagles. Apparently, Ryan Mathews has yet to sign with the Eagles. It would be messed up if the Eagles take back their contract offer to Mathews. I'm not sure if they could do that. But, it just looks like a mess.

 

Did he even catch a TD last year? There was only one KC WR that caught a TD last year, right?

 

no there wasn't even one.

 

That's why the Niners/Harbaugh was in favor of Kaepernick over Smith.

A lot of Niners fan call him Alex "Check Down" Smith because the his penchant to throw to a TE or RB.

 

probably. kaepernick is a better football player though.

 

That's what my brother keeps telling me and last season made it look that way.

Agreed. I was and am fearful that Kaepernick might be the next Michael Vick instead of the next John Elway. (all wore number 7 jerseys too).

 

kaep's main struggle is mental. he just puts too much pressure on himself. it's not that he shrinks from big moments, it's that he tries to do too much in big moments. the difference between smith and kaepernick is that kaepernick can be the best you've ever seen or the worst you've ever seen, while smith is pretty much always right in the middle.

 

I totally agree with you that Kaep's main problem is his mental game and the pressure he puts on himself. I think there's an immature factor too, which was evident when someone trolled him on Twitter and he got into it. I'm really hoping Kurt Warner could help Kaep with all those aspects.

 

His mental game?

You mean trying to discern who's on his team and who's a DB?

 

Yeah, something like Eli Manning.

 

Run DMC on Dallas?

We shall see.

 

Then again, he never had a good O-Line in Oakland. Dallas has a much better one, even if they did have a career year last season.

 

I'm really not happy with the contract the Packers gave Cobb.

 

i mean, he would have gotten more money if he went anywhere else

Jets bringing back Cromartie to compliment Revis. Looks like they are trying to re-create those teams they had in '09-'10 playoff seasons that made it to the AFC Championship games. Top-tier defense to lead the way, two solid receivers on offense, questionable at best QB to throw it to them.

 

*giggle*

Hope the Cowgirls have fun at 8-8 again with McFadden as their replacement for Murray.

 

Them signing Skrine makes a lot more sense now. He is a much better nickleback than he is a traditional CB. That is going to be a scary secondary next season.

 

Look at Greg Jennings when you bolt for the money. 2years, crappy QB's, out on the street.

Staying with Rodgers has its perks.

 

That's great and all but I just don't like signing wide outs to that much money

 

A week after Patrick Willis retired, so has his presumed replacement, Chris Borland. Now the Niners have a lot of holes to fill in the LB corps.
