Speaking of Hue...

 

[Gene Parmesan]

If I'm the Browns I'm throwing money at Scot McCloughan and giving him the keys. Sashi Brown is in over his head.

Speaking of Hue...

Cody Kessler should get another look. Not sure why Jackson seems to hate him but he cant be any worse then Hogan and Kizer this year

 

[Gene Parmesan]

He should just stick with Kizer. Hogan and Kessler have zero upside and have hit their ceilings.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Kizer has no future with organization either

They are going QB at #1 or #2

 

[Gene Parmesan]

You don't know that.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

You don't know if Hogan and Kessler have zero upside

Both have shown flashes in NFL and are both are only 24

Honest to God. He would be the perfect hire for them --- amazing scouting background, helped build a SB champion, players love him.

hogan and kessler don't have franchis QB traits.

at least kizer has them though his weaknesses are bad and concerning: accuracy and decision-making.

Flashes? They are terrible. Hogan can't throw and Kessler isn't much better. Kizer has made mistakes but also more big plays than both of them. Hue is doing him no favors. Factor that in with worst set skill players in the league and you have a disaster.

 

[What the Faulk]

And they don't use enough what few talented guys they have, like Njoku and Duke.

Doctors told the Green Bay Packers that they believe quarterback Aaron Rodgers will be able to resume throwing in six weeks, giving him a chance to return near the end of the regular season, league sources told ESPN.
But for Rodgers to make it back after he suffered a broken right clavicle in last Sunday's game against the Vikings, the Packers will have to do their part. If the Packers can stay in the NFC North race or compete for a wild-card spot, the team thinks there is a chance Rodgers can rejoin them later this season. If the Packers struggle and fall out of playoff contention, there would be no reason to push Rodgers to return.

Who else remembers this?

It was such an absurd story but he just kept digging a deeper hole for himself

And it hurt his draft stock

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

 

[Troy McClure]

The dirtiest player in the NFL doing what he does.

 

[What the Faulk]

With any luck, Mike Mitchell and Vontaze Burifct will somehow take each other out one day. Permanently.



He had a nice one-handed stab last week too. I'd love to see him run more routes instead of runs up the middle or pass blocking, both of which he's been pretty bad at so far.

I was in a Facebook sports talk group at the time, and there was this one die-hard ND fan... kept saying he was going to be one of the best players in the NFL... then kept trying to defend him after Girlfriendgate... needless to say it was fun seeing Manti fall in the draft and get exposed.

 

[Roboturner913]

I never got the ridicule for Te'o, I always just kinda felt sorry for him. It always seemed to me he just got taken advantage of, maybe that makes him a sucker or responsible for some poor judgement, but he was still essentially the victim of fraud and people never seemed to realize that it's a pretty ****ed-up dynamic to laugh at him instead of pointing the finger at the guy responsible for the fraud.

As for his NFL career, there have been worse players. Two-down run stoppers aren't in vogue anymore, but at least he does what he does well, and I've honestly been surprised at his sideline-to-sideline range on a couple occasions.

 

[What the Faulk]

The only thing Te'o did wrong was lie about it. Otherwise, yeah, it's another stupid, insignifcant thing that the sports media blew up and the dumber NFL fans latched onto.

Man you know its a weird year for the NFL when the Eagles have the best record in the NFL

we're a juggernaut!
one could look at the iggles schedule and say they've lost to the one good team they've played, but how many "good" teams are there in the NFL? 5?

They've benefitted from the Skins inconsistency, Zeke not being the same/Cowboy's OL and defence not holding up and the Giants awful start + the loss of OBJ

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Makes sense

He was with them all camp/preseason and was with Gase in Chicago

 

[sigma six]

Been hearing this may happen all day, guess it did. Not what he once was but we won't need him to start. Frank Clark will learn a lot from this guy.
