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

[stillin729]

People calling out fanbases for not buying tickets is hilarious.

NFL is 100x better on TV then in person, and that becomes 1000x better when it's freezing out. I wouldn't take free tickets to that Green Bay game.

Agree 100%; my girl asked if I wanted tickets and I opted for Flyers tickets

Football in front of the TV>>>>>>>>>at the stadium

There was nothing worse than freezing my nuts off at Beaver Stadium as a student to watch a football game

I wasn't referring to you, doe.

[Hahahaha]

Lacy > Gore
Cobb and Jordy >>>> SF

Am I being trolled?



Lacy is young and hurt. No experience. Gore is getting old but has been a consistent player.

Cobb? Not even going to acknowledge that.

Jordy has been impressive over his last 2-3 years. He's not man enough to compete with Anquan.

One thing I've noticed is that the hate for SF is strong on this board. I don't even like the team and I'm defending them way too much on this board. The amount of disrespect you guys throw them

 

[stillin729]

You'd rather have Gore right now over Lacy? Nahhhh

 

[Hahahaha]

If Crab, Q and Vernon had AR throwing to them. They'd have 1500+ yards a piece. I've seen just about every GB game this year. You guys are giving way too much credit to GB's WR and not enough to AR.

As for Boykins, he's like a Mario Manningham. Not a star but has some talent.

 

[DeadsetAce]

lacy on the niners.... :x

 

[Hahahaha]

You'd rather have Gore right now over Lacy? Nahhhh

In a playoff game this weekend? Yes.

For the next 5 years? Obviously No.

 

[stillin729]

I'm still taking Lacy for the game; my personal opinion

 

[100027]

So many reps given out

Justin James though

And there is some truth behind TB12 for MVP...... but I'll leave it at that.

There is truth for BB as COTY.

But Tom Brady hasn't put a full season together. He was playing like crap for the first 1/3rd. Like below league average stats.

It's always refreshing when the truth is being spoken by an outside source or an outside entity. 

 

[champcruthik]

Healthy and healed Lattimore could be > Lacy in 2014.

I feel like your appearance just gave a prime reason for the statement you quoted

 

[fraij da 5 11]

Jordy does an okay Q impression.

 

[Hahahaha]

I like Jordy, I think he's great. I would take Anquan over him any day though. A gif of him making a catch over one of the worst defenders (Scandrick) in the league isn't impressive

 

[Retto]

Healthy and healed Lattimore could be > Lacy in 2014.

Was thinking the exact same thing once I saw the Lacy/Gore discussion taking place.

Is what it is... Q is one of my favorite players... has been since FSU.  At this point of his career I'm taking Jordy.

Although Q can go absolutely ham from time to time.

And scandrick or not he grown manned his way to that football. Scandrick with the nose of the ball in his palm and Jordy still snatched it.

Hes also made a habit of beating Joe Haden.

Trent Baalke with the stash of 2013. Fourth rounder. Lattimore was practicing lightly in December. He's on track for 2014. Kendall Hunter becomes surplus. LaMike purely a change of pace back.

Da Gawd Rodgers got this...


I can't see him losing to the same team 3 times in a row.

You do know you're the same dude that said "Rodgers ain't my ______, glad it had to be him" when Rodgers broke his collar bone, right? 

that was larrydavid2...this is a different guy

LOL at the AP not even bothering to name a second team QB for the all-pro team

i noticed that as well. nobody cares who comes in 2nd though.

 

[fraij da 5 11]

I hope Lattimore's leg doesn't fall off again.

 

[TipsyMcStagga]

Lacy has better numbers than Gore and played one less game. He does have more carries though.

Jordy has better receiving numbers than Boldin and that's without Rodgers for that late season stretch.

Switch each player's team and I still think they'd both have better numbers. Just my opinion though and this is coming from a Vikes fan who hates the Pack :\

 

[DeadsetAce]

franc just woke up and caught up on this morning's activity in this thread

 

[651akathepaul]

Cordarelle gonna be in that WR spot in a few years too.

 

[100027]

He started off rough but then again look who he was throwing too.

Peyton was throwing to 4 guys in who;

Thomas would start on every NFL team
Decker would start on 2/3s of NFL teams
Wes would start on majority of NFL teams
Julius would start on majority of NFL teams

As for Brady....? Yea well.

I'm in the Brady camp, I think he's had a better career. But I don't think he's an MVP this season.

 

[Chester McFloppy]

QB #1: Without his main receiving weapon for most of the year, beat two playoff teams.
Defense allowed 21.1 points per game and had 29 turnovers. Gave up 368 yards per game.
4343 yards @ 60.5%, 25 TD, 11 INT, 87.3 QB Rating

QB #2: Without his main receiving weapon for most of the year, beat four playoff teams.
Defense allowed 20 points per game and had 27 turnovers. Gave up 357 yards per game.
3822 yards @ 60.2%, 23 TD, 9 INT, 87.0 QB Rating

QB #3: Main receiving weapon is a rookie, beat four playoff teams.
Defense allowed 21.8 points per game and had 17 turnovers. Gave up 366 yards per game.
4478 yards @ 69.5%, 32 TD, 11 INT, 105.5 QB Rating

Which one is most deserving of an MVP vote?

 

[champcruthik]

I'm okay with a ballot of Peyton, Shady, Brady, Rivers, Charles.
