If I was a HS prospect who could play both ways you'd have to be an incredible salesman to get me to play Defence in College.

The entire rulebook is stacked against you. 

its getting more and more bullshit. I am all for protecting players but if you can't even wrap a QB up in a snap you actually promote more dangerous types of hits IMO

Its very rare for me to say this, but I hope Watson never succeeds in this league again. I'm so glad he saved us from ourselves.

I hope he changes/turns his life around, tries to become a good person.  But regarding success in the league, I agree.  And while they wouldn't admit it, I think the commissioner and the others that run the league feel the same way.  They don't want to hand the trophy to Deshaun.

They are not protecting the players.  They are protecting the qb.  You can still hit the non qb's under most circumstances.  They are more concerned about making the games better than keeping the players safe.

Hurt QBs don't play and big stars out means less revenue. It's all about the money and always has been.

Screw QBs. If they get hurt that's why you are supposed to have a backup.

1975 had it right!

I do too. My animosity is purely about success in football.

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      By Basbear · Posted

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
