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

[champcruthik]

Matty needs a true #2 receiver. Take a look at Nicks or flier on Britt.

Cutler through 2020? Yikes.

 

[champcruthik]

I think Chicago needs to address the LB and S position. Another corner in the middle rounds wouldn't hurt.

Mosley, Exum, Belue would be a solid haul through 3 rounds.

@do work son

I wasn't serious about MCCOWN being a franchise option at his age...

Just joking around bro

They need to address the defensive line too. That side of the ball is a mess outside of the old Tillman and Jennings

 

[champcruthik]

Don't forget Melton is returning from injury.

High of 5*

Horrible conditions.

they do not have to keep him until 2020, can cut him anytime, only owe the guaranteed money

Seems like the perfect recipe for a big dose of Lacy and Starks.

That's one thing to hang their hat on. But that interior was so bad, they're more than one Melton away.

 

[champcruthik]

Hageman, Sutton, Donald. Take your pick.

The entire defense will be re-built. Absolutely no doubt about that. I bet we have at least 5-6 new starters next yr.

 

[champcruthik]

Fire Mel Tucker?

The players defended him, but the numbers and games don't.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

To get injured you have to for the most part get hit. And if Cutler is getting hit a lot it's his fault? His Oline has been terrible until this year.

Rodgers OL has been the worst in football since like 09... Its actually a lot better this year and Rodgers had missed 1 game his whole career up until week 8 or whatever it was this season.

 

[Hahahaha]

Anyone can win. Flacco, Dilfer and even Rex Grossman made it to the SB.
NE didn't have enough talent last year to win and they have even less talent this year.

On defense?

Because up until this year I was told Brady can win with anything. What has changed?

When was the last time Brady won?

TB and BB are magicians for what they've been able to do over the last few years. That team has no talent this year.

Really hope it's not extremely windy, I need Mother Nature to let the Gawd Rodgers be great.

 

[champcruthik]

Fraij: Bulaga (injury) and Sherrod not panning out, huh.

 

[Hahahaha]

I think they just sat down and asked "Can you win a Super Bowl with Jay Cutler?" And decided the answer was yes, which is not something every team can say about their QB.

And I tend to agree. He is in the Flacco-Eli tier in terms of talent level.

I would never put Eli in a category with Flacco. I don't think Eli is elite but Flacco is a bum. He's always had a good defense and is why they have made it to the playoffs every year. Suggs and Reed didn't like him because he held them back for so many years. Congrats on the magical run he had but he's a pile of ****. Cutler >> Flacco

You remember Kyle Boller? He was holding that team back. The Ravens got a lot better once they drafted Flacco and Ray Rice. He's not great but I don't think any Ravens players have problems with Flacco.

I don't think so. He had a great team every year and they never made the SB. That Ravens team should have been in the SB 2-3 times. He was the reason for all those early exits. He had an amazing run last year though.

Aaron Rodgers is obviously more mobile in the pocket. Which is really helpful when you oline is bad.

Cutler is no AR. But I think he had the ability to win a SB.

Strongly disagree. The bears and cardinals both had worse lines last year IMO.

 

[jayfiend]

TB and BB are magicians for what they've been able to do over the last few years. That team has no talent this year.

So the WRs he's played with on the Super Bowl years weren't as bad as people say, Correct?

Forgive me, but all people would say about Brady is who has won more with less. Like those WRs in them championship teams didn't work hard and do everything BB and that staff could ask for.

Now that Brady really does had 0 talent and you see that he's struggling. People still don't meant to admit that Troy Brown and them boys were better than more than people have them credit for.

The point I'm trying to make is people wanna act like Brady did it by himself. But he didn't.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Fraij: Bulaga (injury) and Sherrod not panning out, huh.

Sherrod constantly injured.  I'm hoping Bulaga can stay healthy in the future and they can put him back at RT with Bahktiari playing so well at LT.

Still need a real C but Bahk-Sitton-C?-Lang-Bulaga would be a very good OL.  Deitrich-Smith is pretty awful.

I'm talking collectively over that time span.  Cards may have a case too but they're a non-factor.

It doesn't get any worse than Alan Barbre at LT.

I'm not so sure about that. Your line has been fairly bad but I think you're being Packers-centric by calling it the worst since 09.
