Anyone by chance watch the Steve Gleason A Football Life show on the NFL Network?
Good Lord, this is one of the toughest 1 hour shows I've ever tried to get to.
Such a sad and yet still awesome story all at the same time.

Calvin Johnson and Antonio Brown have led me. We award points for receptions after 3 catches.

Re: NFL Thread
depending on what your league runs, QB could be a very overrated position. if its 25 yards/pt and 4 pts a TD throw u can get 300/4 and only get 24 pts, when a WR catches say 7-100-1 and he has 23 and 7-100-1 is common for elite WRs.

thanks for the knowledge. I had no clue I could just multiply and then add!!!nick wrote:depending on what your league runs, QB could be a very overrated position. if its 25 yards/pt and 4 pts a TD throw u can get 300/4 and only get 24 pts, when a WR catches say 7-100-1 and he has 23 and 7-100-1 is common for elite WRs.

Re: NFL Thread
Scouting report on Cousins from CFN. About right, I'd say.
Washington Redskins
QB Kirk Cousins, Michigan State 6-3, 214
Overall Pick No. 102 CFN Overall Ranking: 35
CFN Analysis: A rock-solid prospect with a low ceiling but no bust potential, he has the right height, a great head, and all the intangibles to be a leader of an offense for a long, long time. A good conductor who knows what everyone is supposed to do, and good at making the right read, he’ll be ready right out of the box with a solid throwing motion that won’t need much tweaking. Vocal, he’s comfortable at being the spokesman for the team with the right blend of attaboy and vinegar to motivate the troops. The problem is that he might be Chad Pennington – great in the locker room and limited on the field. Not a power pitcher, he’s more of a finesse thrower and doesn’t throw the best of balls. Ultra-accurate in drills, he can play and he has starting ability, but there’s a limited upside. He’ll be a piece of the puzzle rather than the reason a team succeeds.

Re: NFL Thread
And Griffin's:
2 Washington Redskins (from St. Louis)
QB Robert Griffin III, Baylor (Jr.) 6-2, 223
Overall Pick No. 2 CFN Overall Ranking: 4
CFN Analysis: And here starts the ride. RGIII has more question marks than it might appear, and he’s not the sure thing everyone is making him out to be, but he sure will be a fun player for the Redskins to work around. For a franchise that needs a new star and someone to be the main man, there couldn’t be a better spokesman. However, he has to make a major transition from the spread offense to what Washington is going to want to do, and now the pressure is on. Considering what the Redskins gave up, he has to win a Super Bowl or the pick doesn’t work.
Possibly the most athletic quarterback prospect in NFL history, he’s a world-class hurdler who started out his career as a dynamite playmaker who took off to make things happen. Over time he turned into a passer who just so happened to occasionally run, and the results were magical.
While he doesn’t have a cannon, he has an excellent deep arm with nearly perfect touch, uncanny accuracy, and the fearless stones to confidently push the ball down the field no matter what the situation. While he was one of the most efficient passers in college football history, he has to work on his short-to-midrange consistency and he has to be able to fit the ball through the eye of a needle. He spent his career connecting with the open man, and while his mobility will buy him time, he has to prove he can go from being a spread quarterback to a pro-style passer.
The basic tools are all there and he’s an interesting and unique physical prospect, but RGIII’s biggest asset is RGIII. An unquestioned leader, he has the type of magnetic personality and character that will make a team follow him blindly into the toughest battles. Smart, he doesn’t make mistakes and always seems to come up with the right read. Fiery, he has a passion for the game and the right attitude with no prima donna traits whatsoever.
For all his great abilities and with all his upside, he’s not the prospect that Andrew Luck is. He has to prove he can fit in a normal NFL offense and he might have a short shelf life if he plans on using his legs on a regular basis – he’s not built to take a beating like Cam Newton is. But he’s the type of quarterback a team will love to have as the franchise-maker, even if it takes him a little while to fit the mold.
CFN Projection: No. 2 overall

Re: NFL Thread
I dont know, watching him in college I thought he had plenty of arm. He threw a ton of outs to the wide side, whole shots to the wide side, etc and I never thought arm strength was an issue. That being said, Im really excited to see him get some run, hope he does welltrendon wrote: Not a power pitcher, he’s more of a finesse thrower and doesn’t throw the best of balls.

Re: NFL Thread
Let's see. I've now watched four minutes and I can't argue against you too much but it doesn't look like he has the rocket arm but holy shit does he have touch. You can see the play at 2:05, it looked like that was a 100% effort and, no, it wasn't Jeff George but it wasn't Matt Cassel either.
Re: NFL Thread
Man, his footwork sucks. I gather that has improved, at least 90% of his throws are off his back foot in that video.
