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

I'll just hang out admiring these until then.

 

Training camps will start to open up. My Niners will have an open practice this Saturday at Levi Stadium, but I doubt I'll check it out.

 

Washington's training camp as already started.

 

I haven't been following the Redskins in the off season. Is RG3 their starting QB going into training camp?

 

From the way Jay Gruden's been talking it seems like it.

 

Interesting. Last I heard, Jay Gruden was bad mouthing RG3 publicly.

 

Well thanks for the props heels1785 but it doesn't make the reminder any less painful.

Did anyone hear Belichick's response to a reporter asking a question, telling him to "check your notes"?

Hahaha!

 

In training camp, Breshad Perriman has yet to drop a pass. Its a weird spiderman phenomena. I shan't complain

 

Why I love Harbaugh. "We have some bad ass teams around here..."

Why Niners fans are not liking Jed York:
49ers CEO Jed York compares Jim Tomsula hiring to Steve Kerr

Read the crap outta this. Aside from one part denoting racism in our justice system, its pretty cool. The Wealth Complex is real.

 

lol this thread rn:

 

How about talk about something meaningful, like the first step in the return of Eric Berry from cancer?

 

No one is holding you back from doing so.

4 years, $87.5 million for Russell Wilson.

 

I think Russell Wilson is worthy of that contract. He's definitely more than a "game manager." I've seen him on a routine basis keep plays alive, find the right receiver and keep the chains moving. When you get a QB that fits the system, you keep him as to even make the playoffs you need a skilled and talented QB.

 

Will be interesting to watch the system fail around him as players have to leave to get money.

 

it's not like they could just not pay him or give him less money than jay cutler tho. seahawks fans have gone from basically non-existent to the most ubiquitous and annoying thing in my life. those stupid 12th man flags cover the entire state of washington. and yes, their success has rested mostly on the shoulders of their defense, but wilson is without a doubt the face of the franchise and has made paul allen a lot of money. not that he needed it.

of course they will start to decline eventually. happens to every good team. probably not happening this year or next tho, and this is coming from someone who loathes the seahawks.

 

Cowboys' RB Darren McFadden (hamstring) placed on PUP list

 

I'm surprised it wasn't a finger injury from signing his contract...

 

Now the challenge will be trying to keep the other pieces together. Kam Chancellor has declared he's holding out for a better contract so we will see what happens.

But QBs are the premium players in the league and this contract is deserved.

 

Jimmy G will help Russ look much better, since he catches and makes plays in the field. The extended pass rush brought the seahawks down. Without Unger, Russ will have less time. Those quick twitch muscles and decision making abilities until they have a solidified line matter the most, thats why the contract is worthy. Think back, Joe Flacco got a 120 mill 6 year contract. Seattle payed the right price for a QB that they could win with. If the defense falls, or Marshawn decides to leave or retire, then High tides are a coming and thier ships not built for that. Injuries bugs, sad as they are, could ruin a team who is as precarious as they are.
