NFL Discussion Thread - Hall of Fame Game: August 3rd

[champcruthik]

My man, Still.

I still believe Fitz has the best hands in the league.

Dezzy shows flashes to be dominant. His play is a bit bipolar, inconsistent.

I didn't want to list Julio or Demaryius, but I figured NT would give me flack.

I feel bad for RG3 and legit hope he gets traded. Not easy for a young person to succeed trying to grow in this type of situation.

Why feel sorry for a guy who is all about himself and not the team? RG3 is so wrapped up in himself and how he doesnt want to look bad, i wouldnt be suprised if he asked mike to shut him down for the year...

My friend told me last year that RGIII was cocky and all about himself. I laughed at him and rolled my eyes, because I felt RGIII was very humble at Baylor. Well, I was wrong. I can't believe some of these press conferences with Robert.

In the end, I think this is a good think for him. Spare the hits, but mostly humble him a bit. He's got a great work ethic already in place, he just needs to tweak his perspective on being a leader and a quarterback.

To be honest, I've never heard of Josh Gordon until the 3rd game this season, and it was because of fantasy.

I've watched a couple of browns games and damn, homey can ball out!!

 

[Maximus Meridius]

This will be even more of a circus if Cousins wins some games.



This makes no sense at all. How does sitting out the rest of the season help RG3's development? **** is a mess.

 

[champcruthik]

My one criticism of Gordon was a couple crucial drops against Buffalo on TNF.

Gordon is a monster I've been following him a while; Eagles tried hard to get him but the Browns won out

Everyone laughed when I took him early in fantasy

INDY was on him tough for a little bit there as well, especially after reggie went down, but browns wouldnt budge

 

[IATT]

what has everyone heard was being offered to the browns from gordon?

i imagine they would have received a bunch of low ball offers because he literally was 1 incident away from being done for the year

I meant when he was taken in the supplemental draft

He was an easy 1st rounder; I forget why he had to go in the supp draft but Eagles were very high on him in 2012

supposedly, and i only say that becuase it came from brad wells a writer on stampede blue, the colts offered a 2nd rd pick in the 2014 draft and they declined...

 

[651akathepaul]

I mean...Shany is making sense right now. I completely agree with this decision.

 

[champcruthik]

Nobody was giving a R1 pick for Gordon because of the suspension and off the field issues/concerns.

I understand if Lombardi turned down a R2 pick from Indy, because everyone knew that was a late second. I'd venture a guess Cleveland was holding out for an early R2 selection. From Carolina at the time. Or hope dearly for a late first from San Francisco to help Kaep or New England to help Brady when Thompkins and Dobson weren't clicking or ready.

 

[dontsteponmyshoes]

Al Davis tried to warn people about Shannahan over 20 years ago

 

[dmxfury]

This makes no sense at all. How does sitting out the rest of the season help RG3's development? **** is a mess.

On the flip side, how does getting hurt in a meaningless game help his development? There could be a huge conspiracy/side story to all of this or it could be the simplest answer. The team sucks, RGIII already had health concerns, what positive comes from playing him? I am interested to find out more though



Just to clarify I'm playing devil's advocate a bit here

 

[jjs07]

I mean...Shany is making sense right now. I completely agree with this decision.

If you were going to sit him, do it in the first 3 games of the season....

Dude had no issues trotting him out there in snow/ice and on a bad field on Sunday, but wants to preserve his health (even tho he's playing in a dome) by sitting him on Sunday and going forward. Makes no sense to me.

He's sticking his middle-finger up at Danny on his way out the door. Now, if Danny REALLY wants to get in a pissing match, he should just fire Kyle before the end of the day.

*Anyone see the stat that RG3 has taken 25 sacks in the past 4 games

 

[Peep Game]

shanny

will he find another coaching job and reunite with kubiak

As long as neither are in Houston, that's fine

 

[champcruthik]

I'm still mad at Shanny for citing cardiovascular endurance against McNabb.

He's living off Denver success. He does make good RB's with the ZBS though.

He also lied on James Andrews last year as well.

Hindsight is 20/20, and I've defended him in the past, but with everything coming to light, it's easy to see that he's a scumbag.

You actually believe the crap he is spewing?

Even if that were true he'd just be following the example being set by his coach and his owner.....

 

[champcruthik]

J's: Shanny definitely doesn't get tact or shrewdness. He has some Jordan Belfort in him for sure.

Peep: McNair and Smith already distanced themselves from Shanny. Sumlin or another option is more likely.

I don't know what exactly to believe, but benching RGIII at this point makes sense to me.

 

[jjs07]

I don't buy it. I don't care what the outcome of the season is, dude needs as many in-game reps as possible.

Dude is lying through his teeth. He's lost the team and quit on them. It's a shame what it's come down to.

 

[maxelite]

I don't know what exactly to believe, but benching RGIII at this point makes sense to me.

Let me just say that Shanahan has every right to bench RGIII. Dude has played like crap the past 3-4 games.

But for him to sit up there and tell ppl he's trying to protect RGIII from getting hurt is so beyond hysterical. RGIII just played a game in the snow on that sandlot aka FedEx field. Way to protect him then Shanahan.


Dude is a professional liar.
