Are 11 DBs necessary ? maybe there is a trade coming

[quote=EARTHQUAKE2689;1146710]No, God no. The Ravens RB squad is worse than ours and they let him go, plus he does nothing for us at this point.[/quote]

forsett's career average is 4.9 ypc, stack that up against anyone you want. (cheat sheet, it's enough for top 10 all time)

ravens are looking to the future, i'm looking to the present.

ridley is trash but he may be better than 1 of our rbs. same for williams.

hillman is an upgrade from any rb on our roster.

we should have signed foster or forte, or just kept morris.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

ap top 10 @ 4.9 ypc

This is accurate. Hillman is an upgrade (all around), Forsett could be useful. Ridley and Williams are losers.

He also only has had 1 year of being a full time starter without getting hurt, and he turns 31 this season. I just dont see the upside of him

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

I'm not comfortable with just three RB's. I think picking up Forsett or Hillman would be a good move.

Josh Sitton was cut because of $$. He is still a good player and he could help solidify our OL. Start him at LG and move Spencer Long to starting C.

i'm not saying he has any remaining upside on the wrong side of 30. i'm saying he's a better rb than anyone we currently have.

he's missed 13 games since 2009.

chris thompson has missed nearly 30 games since 2013 while matt jones missed 3 last year and is already banged up this year.

seriously, mcnabb before that.

do the vikings plan on signing bradford long term? that's the only way i make that trade if i'm the vikings; if i honestly believe bradford is the man. can they really think that?!?

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

Sam "Glass Joe" Bradford will do well in Minnesota. They have a better than average defense and a solid running game. Norv Turner will put together a game plan that benefits Bradford, and they will be a playoff contender. Will they be good enough to get the final wild card spot? I don't see two teams coming out of the east. Maybe the Saints rebound and get the final wild card spot.

If Teddy is unable to return from the injury, they will have their starter in Bradford. AP is getting older and their window is closing. Bradford is the butt of many jokes, but look at his last two coaches. Jeff Fischer and Chip Kelly; he should get a pass. Nick Foles was almost a pro bowl QB for Andy Reid. Under Jeff Fischer, he is run out of town.

They gave up a lot and Bradford needs to perform, but they will be fine.

I'm with you...keeping only 3 RB's with the oft-injured Thompson & the unknown Kelley is a little precarious.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

Interesting qb news today in our division: Carson wentz is the starter in philly and romo on the 53 man roster...no short term ir.

Little confused by both moves...wentz took just 24 snaps in camp..a lot of bad...before taking a dumb hit and going down. Lane Johnson gonna be out most likely for awhile and that Oline is shaky already.

Apparently Jerry is gonna rush Romo back from injury...again. This is unbelievable, haven't we seen this movie before?

Very sad to hear about Tre Mason. Rams haven't heard from him since December of 2015 pretty much, and his mom says due to repeated concussions, he now has the mind of a 10 year old. Scary because the dude just played last season...

[quote=OmahaRedskins;1146642]When did Kurt Warner play for him?[/quote]

I apologize for this error. I am confusing the combo of Dick Vermeil / Kurt Warner and Jeff Fisher and "Air" McNair. In my mind it was clear, but i was supposed to be saying Fisher had never really developed a good QB except for Steve McNair...

steve mcnair was one of my favorites.

Re: Around the NFL: Training Camp edition
 

[quote=los panda;1146384]read about vikings players throwing up after seeing teddy's injury, said everyone was looking away and that teddy had to be sedated.

i heard torn acl and dislocated knee.[/quote]

Teddy's family today credits the Vikings' immediate reaction and top notch medical staff for acting quickly. Trauma surgeons were brought in to repair his leg. The Femur basically jumped off of the tibia, and this caused his knee cap to go around to the back or something like that. They described it as like seeing a man who had been in a severe car wreck. He also suffered a complete tear of the ACL, MCL, and his meniscus as well. It sounds like the only thing holding his leg on was basically his outer layer of skin. Still can't believe an injury that bad could happen on a non-contact drill....

I think if people care about Teddy B as a person at all they just wish for him to live a normal life, it sounds like it will be at least 2 years before they even know if he can make a comeback or not. His NFL career could be over....

Football is never going away. It's too big to fail if you will.

Head injuries aren't a new thing, we just know more about them now, which is obviously a good thing.

Anyone who plays should now be fully aware of the risks.

I dont think its going anywhere either but I think it will change a lot.
Pretty sure it will morph into flag football within the next 30 years.

If the sports world was really so concerned about head injuries boxing would have been outlawed a long time ago.
