Elliot is out for a few days too with a hamstring injury.

[quote=JoeRedskin;1145009]I routinely sat next to a guy who was on his last year of eligibility and was the 3rd string WR. We're talking one day and he tells me he has a plate in his wrist that restricts its mobility. In the next breath, he tells me how he's training hard for the draft and his agent thinks he could go in the 9th or 10th round; he was certain that, once he got drafted, he would be in the NFL for life b/c his coaches kept telling him he was just a victim of the numbers game at UMCP.

I just remember thinking - "3rd string WR from a sometimes top 20 school with a plate in your wrist. Oh yeah, that's spells perennial All-Pro." Guy was nice enough but dumber than a brick.[/quote]

A shame, but a lot of them have that very mindset.

He signed with KC last night.

Re: Around the NFL: Offseason edition 2.0
 

one thing Dallas needed more than anything in the offseason was to acquire a legitimate back up QB for Romo...everyone saw it last year. Kellen Moore is flat out garbage.

I cant believe how damn stupid Jerry is...

I guess Foles is pretty smart for signing with KC, he knows Dallas is like the old tv show, nothing but drama.

Yeah but he probably would have a better chance of starting in Dallas, than in KC. Then again, Dallas was a shit show without Romo, so maybe he doesn't want to deal with any of that.

Re: Around the NFL: Offseason edition 2.0
 

Foles isn't going to take any team over the top ever. He was probably the biggest shit show in the league last year at that position.

I read that story, and man it is some serious click bait.

RG3 looked good in plenty of practices here too. Let's see how he looks in a game when the bullets are live.

True.

I think RGIII was gifted with the perfect body to be a great decathlete. We should be watching him compete in the upcoming Olympics. Instead, we'll probably see him him struggle in the NFL until he suffers another serious injury. What has happened to him in the NFL is sad for him and for all of us who have rooted for him. He is an exceptional athlete but he's just not a fit for the sport of football at it's highest level.

Smart on his part. Playing for Dallas means he would almost be guaranteed to play and potentially be tasked with wining them some meaningful games. In KC he's got Alex Smith (IronMan at QB) playing ahead of him in a Quarterback friendly system. With a better Defense. And better head coach. and not playing in Dallas.

Win all across the board for Foles.

Loss for the Chiefs though. He's terrible.

He signed in KC because of his past success in Andy Reid'so system. After the failure with Rams he wants to be back with Reid. Cannot blame him for that.
