Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason
 

[quote=Redskins247;1283578]I think the Jags could have some success early...ala Chip Kelly when he took over the eagles and even with RGIII to an extent. The offense will be somewhat unique and different, so it will take part of the season for defenses to get a hold on it...assuming Lawrence plays decent. If they have both their games against Houston and a few other bottom division teams in the first 8 games, they could be 4-4 I think. They'll be interesting if nothing else...which is something they haven't been in a long time.[/quote]

I will always have fond memories of 2012.

IMO I think the success could have been more long term if:
a. RG3 wasn't such a diva and wanted to be exclusively a pocket passer
b. He didn't suffer a debilitating injury trying to be a pocket passer in the playoff game

Kyle was the right coach with the right mindset what a shame. Hard to believe that was almost a decade ago

Agree with all players except for Tebow.. It's laughable for anyone to expect anything from Tebow at this point. The Jags offense will be interesting to watch this fall.

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason
 

Oh my gosh...horrible. No cause of death reported. I hope it wasn't suicide, he had some issues.


He's a Warpath Legend.

I always wished he had more of a shot to see what he could do in the regular season with us. Couldn't have been worse than Jason Campbell, Todd Collins, Rex Grossman and John Beck but could have been better, or at least more fun to watch.

32 or 34 years old, hasn't played professionally in 8 years, starting a new position with talent 10 years younger than him, only got the training camp invite bc he's bff's with the HC. Him not making the roster is my triple stamped no-take backs lock of the week.

Re: Around the NFL: NFL Offseason
 

If the Packers and Seahawks were both smart, they'd just swap QBs. Neither of them wants to be there, and both would be happy in and win in their new homes. It's the best way for both teams to salvage the maximum return and not become complete losers instantly when their QB walks.

Maybe it would take a throw-in pick by GB to balance out the age differential but then again, he's the reigning MVP.

Bonus points, Wilson played for Wisconsin.

If Urban Meyer is running his football team for the profits and ego, and not because he wants to do the Pete Carroll thing and prove he can win at any level, he's fucked from the start. Guess time will tell.

Why would Wilson want to go to a place where they already have their QB of the future? And there's no way in hell he wants to go live in Green Bay.

The Packers aren't very confident in Jordan Love.

And for Wilson, it beats going to a losing, QB-needy team like Houston, Detroit or Carolina.

So now, newly-signed kickers and punters are being spotted with numbers in the 30s and 40s because numbers 1-19 are being taken over by WRs, RBs, and defensive players.

Going to be a mess...and a strange sights this season.

The NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a $208.2 million salary cap ceiling for 2022, per source.

There is no cap floor as of now. The sides agreed last August to spread the COVID-related revenue shortfall from 2020 over several years, and the cap dropped to $182.5M this year.
