[QUOTE="-Halftime-"]Gonna be touch football soon. I agree that Sanchez shouldn't have been in the game, though. After Geno's performance everyone knew that Mark would be the starter. Why risk him? But in the long run it means little, the Jets are gonna bomb regardless. Might as well let Geno take his lumps and see if he can play.monkeytoes61

I dislike the premise that you could somhow ''traumatize'' a young QB. Troy Aikman was thrown in a horrible situation in his rookie year. It didn't prevent him to become a great QB. It's more of a matter of you're not giving Geno a real chance to be effective this season. There's no good decisions here, but I think you migh aswell give Geno first string reps as much as possible. At least he has upside.

Packers kept Crosby despite the fact that he's a shit kicker. Only an idiot would keep that moron around.The-Apostle

Now you're catching on.

Seriously. Crosby is the Sanchez of kickers.

Seriously. Crosby is the Sanchez of kickers.

[QUOTE="starwarsjunky"][QUOTE="The-Apostle"] What I don't understand is this: Why did they judge the kicking competition based on two practices? If you judge it throughout the offseason/preseason, Tavecchio wins. Easily.

Seriously. Crosby is the Sanchez of kickers.

Aikman was only sacked 19 times his rookie year.  He's not a good example of a young QB who succeeds despite early "trauma".

[QUOTE="monkeytoes61"] And make him David Carr 2.0? I disagree. If he isn't ready, he shouldn't be thrown in.Oleg_Huzwog

True, but wasn't he getting hit a lot anyway? And my point is that Carr wouldn't have been a good QB simply if his O-line would've protected him better that first year.

The NFL got an amazing deal with what they settled with the retired players for today.  $765M is like 4 weeks of revnue for the league at this point, with legal fees going to and losing court could have easily cost them 3-4x as much along with a huge public relations hit.

That lawsuit could had been disastrous for the NFL, $765M is a blip in the radar. They took care of the past with this settlement and took care of the future with all the changes they have been implementing (so at least no credible lawsuits will be brought up). Still, the league might die if the violence left isn't enough to satiate some fans and/or the sports just die because parents steer their children away from it (which is what I think will happen).

The NFL is feeding on the desperation of poor neiborhoods. So you get kids with neglectful parents or desperate ones willing to send their kids play football because it's often seen as a way to get out of poverty (through getting a scholarship for example). But in fact most parents would like to see their kids play football, as it can act as a safe haven from deliquency.

Falcons lose to the Jags as expected. Preseason doesn't matter unless your team wins...YEAAAA!

Only reason why y'all lose is if you decide to pass instead of run against them. That D is beyond trash

Well no shit, it's preseason D.

I just hate how the quality of the games has obviously suffered. After all the recent changes in the last few years offense blew up and damn near every QB is throwing for almost 5'000 yards and 40 scores a year. It's why all the shattering of these offensive records doesn't impress me at all.-Halftime-

Nono. It's historically bad defense, like worse than Packers getting ran over 200 yards by Crappernick. Sean Payton and a safety aren't going to fix that defense
