OT: 2020 NFL and NCAAF thread

[My3Sons]

wow I'm surprised that MNF got KC-BAL next week

That looks to be a very exciting game

SNF: Packers at Saints
MNF: Chiefs at Ravens

Should be fun as hell

Rodgers looks like he's on a mission this year after management put a burr up his saddle this offseason.

They didn't just draft a QB with their first-rounder, they traded up for it, then topped that off by drafting a backup RB in the second round instead of getting more help for Rodgers at WR or o-line when they already have Aaron Jones who they've been trying to marginalize forever.

Goat is actually going to goat.

Tempted to put money on it.

Schedule makers have given Saints a tough early schedule with Brady and then first game in Vegas and then Rodgers.

I mean, if this was a normal season, I don't think we'd look at it that way. They got Brady and Rodgers at home.

 

[My3Sons]

Burrow lost to the Browns and was crushed by the Chargers. Lol

13 points is not looking good by any metric.

Don't believe me? Read his tweets.

So you also think Nico stinks?

The total lack of a preseason has been evident in this MNF game. Very sloppy by both teams but Vegas getting the friendly reffing opening their new home has been the difference.

Unfortunately the jury is still out. But no, I don't think so. I also don't think a 1C and a QB are comparable unless we're talking about Sid and Rodgers.

Judging a rookie QB in his first two games after no preseason is way way premature to me. It’s like judging an 18 year older jumping from a USNDP to an NHL dumpster fire team and saying he stinks when he doesn’t light it up.

Here's the thing though. I've been a Devils, Giants, Mets, Jets, and Nets fan in that order my entire life.

The savages are who've endeared me to each team and who either won, or came close to winning championships are as follows:

Stevens, LT, Daneyko, Banks, Coleman, Kenyon, Revis, Lemieux, Niedermayer, Eli, most of the cocaine Mets, Petrovic, Strahan, JPP, and f***ing Marty. Marty.

What can I say? I like angry winners and D.

False dichotomy.

You don’t have time to develop in the NFL.

I would disagree. QBs are given a few years typically if they show any progression. It’s the rare first round QB who flames out in his first or second year. Even Jamarcus Russell lasted more than one year if memory serves.

You're tossed into the trash heap if you're not performing at a reasonable level by year 3.

Josh Rosen, Johnny Football, etc, etc.

It's unique to the position and the sport.

yes and no. Brees and Rodgers both took longer I think. Rodgers because of Farve and Brees took at least three years to develop. Now if you want to say they are older QBs and in today's game they wouldn't be given that much time, I'd say maybe and it's not one size fits all. TB stuck with Jameis Winston for four years before moving on. Baker Mayfield is in his third year and is still developing and not a finished product (he still has footwork and release issues on five and seven step drop patterns from under center according to what I read). I just think the jury will be out on Burrow and Love and other guys recently drafted for a few years unless they totally melt down like Rosen. As an aside, my understanding is that Rosen is a personality issue as much as a performance issue.

Aaaaand Notre Dame vs Wake Forest game this weekend is postponed after 7 players from ND tested positive for COVID. Only a matter of time.

They held out long enough to schnooker the Big 10 and Pac-12 (probably) back into playing though

Live look into the Big10 and Pac 12 committees:

 

[My3Sons]

I’m reasonably convinced that LSU players purposely spread it sling themselves to avoid the problem during the season

Gale Sayers, Bears Hall of Fame running back, dies at 77

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

Daniel Jones STINKS

[Jack Be Quick]

Alright Jets, your turn now.

What are the tiebreakers when it comes to the draft in the NFL if both teams win 0 games?

 

[NJDevs26]

Ain't that the f***ing truth

Strength of schedule most likely. I think weaker schedule gets the higher pick, which'll probably be the Giants given their division compared to ours, especially playing the NFC West on top of it.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Sam with the pick 6 on the first drive but a hell of a play to tie the game back up.

Plays like that continue to give me hope.

 

[NJDevs26]

Hope but also anger that the f***ing genius doesn't run more plays with Darnold on the move. He treats him like he's Peyton Manning and chains him to the pocket when he should be using him more like Tony Romo.
