Your sig is an instant boner.

Schefter is an idiot. NFLN is currently reporting on FA RBs... Lombardi us saying Addai is the best potential FA. Bullpoo to that! He did report for sure that he believes Carolina will make DLo an offer he can't refuse and will bring him back. For the record, Addai sucks balls.

Glad you like my new sig, I needed to spice my profile up a bit.

As for Addai, the only reason people are hyped on him is because he play(ed) for the Colts and has been on Manning's side for years. Interestingly enough, he was also in the same draft class as DeAngelo. Funny when you look back at the RB class that year. Reggie was taken 2nd overall and projected to be the next best thing. Now he's fighting to stay #3 on the depth chart and about to take a pay cut! Then there's Lawrence Maroney to the Patriots. He had an awesome rookie season and looked like a beast. Then they decided to only pass and now he's been traded to the Broncos! Haha. Thank God the Patriots picked him since that's who we were targeting. We wasted no time in picking the BEST RB in that class in DeAngelo Williams. Now's on the verge of a major contract (hopefully from us) and a highly coveted free agent after most scouts and analysts said he had no 2nd gear and wasn't an every down back. Dumbasses! Joseph Addai was the last back taken in the first round, and he's done well. Not amazing, but clearly better than the first 2 backs mentioned. If you really wanna get crazy, the 2nd round produced a gem in MJD! You could argue he is the best RB in that class, but my heart still goes to D. Will. Either way, Carolina and Jacksonville got it right.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By PootieNunu · Posted

      It's funny how the teams with the great QBs stay at or near the top of the league every season.  Yes it is a team game, but the QB has the biggest impact in most NFL football games.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Look, no one is ever a perfect player.  Since the QB handles the ball on 100% of plays offensively (unless there's a direct snap to a RB or something), I can absolutely see where they get an outsized blame and gain from what happens at any given snap of a football game.   Theoretically, there shouldn't even be a stat or idea to a 4th quarter comeback or game winning drive because you should already have done that during the game.  Losers!  Right?  Just because you win late doesn't take away the fact you tried to lose the game for your team! I'm not a fan of that opinion, but again, I'm just a moron with a keyboard.   Bryce has limited tools.  Bryce has not inspired the same level of confidence in us as Cam Newton did in year 3.  I certainly get that.  We traded a TON of assets to get Bryce, and we still suck.  (I mean, since we've lost games, we're losers right?) I completely understand that some fans are just unhappy with a limited QB and a team that isn't performing well, unless the other teams are worse losers than we are. I will say this:  Bryce will fight until the end.  Sure, he's has some real loser football.   But in close games, he's doing his best to comeback (even against a winner of prevent D). Now is it better or worse if your QB plays their best ball in the first half and sucks 2nd half so long as they finish with 300 yards, 3 TDs for your fantasy points? Who said stats are for winners anyway?  The Panthers and Bryce has a long way to go.  I'm enjoying the winning right now.  Though I do start each game thinking "how will we fug this up today?" Because it's been such a poo show in the Tepper era.  Will he prove to be a legit starting NFL QB?  Maybe not here as evidence by our record with QBs who were high draft picks.

      Ive never liked the term game winning drives because they include games where the QB was part of or was the reason the team was behind in the first place. Ive been arguing against this stat since the Delhomme years. It should only count when the QB is out of the equation of reasons why the team fell behind in the first place and is at least half the reason why he led the last drive to give them a lead. It shouldnt count if they just hand it off most of the time and the RB is on fire and they go down and score a TD or FG.
