Can we talk about how NC state will now have 3 starting QBs in the NFL?!

(yes Russell counts)

Finley may get the nod in Cincy before the year is out. 

As a State grad it makes me proud. 

 

Oh and fug the Seahawks and  Russell Wilson.  Loved him at State and Wisconsin but hate him in the NFL

Lets be real. The dude blew a kidney playing football. That’s not a high ankle, that’s not a shoulder or collarbone, that’s not even an ACL, that’s you fug the other one, your dead. Add on the amount of unreported concussions. Its not unexpected. 

It could have been you can play football or go on dialysis for the rest of your life. Which would any of you choose. 

sorry but this is pretty over the top

 

his kidney healed, and even if it didn't, losing the other one doesn't mean you are dead. there are options. short term dialysis and you can get a transplant long term

 

its not instant death like you are insinuating

Three things are either happening 

1) injuries are piling up and his body is breaking down 

2) scandal incoming 

or 3) going to play in his daddies league

No way do you retire due to injuries and then swap to another league. That’s bush league poo right there.

lol at the colts though for all this. Irsay is an idiot.

the stunt they pulled with peyton towards the end of his career there (making him the highest paid QB in the league then cutting him one year later) and then tanking to get the next great superstar QB and they can never seem to break 11 wins in a season in a weak division and then he quits on them just after 7 years?

yow

    • I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.
    • The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24. 
    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.
