NFL Off-Season 2017 - Page 117 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Real football seriously needs to start. I've had several people retweet a report on how some Packers punter did in camp into my timeline today. OMG elite distance and hang time!

CFL is on ESPN quite often. Same game with adjusted rules and field. A lot less hitting.

IANAD but it seems like this type of football has fewer head impacts since everything is about speed so NFL adapting this could be (remotely) possible. Much less rushing up the middle thus much less lineman smashing heads forward and RB on LB collisions.

If you guessed the Browns, you are correct

also Urschel retired probably after seeing the 99% of donated brains had CTE and he's a gonna be a math phd.

Good for him. Glad to see some of these younger guys getting out and realizing money isn't everything. Dude is obviously super smart and will succeed at whatever he wanted to do.

In a June interview with Jaguars.com, coach Doug Marrone made it clear the team will play run-first football in 2017. Per Jags.com's John Oehser, Marrone "wasn't joking about this, and he wasn't smiling" when he spoke. "Zero," Marrone replied when asked how many times he wants Blake Bortles to attempt a pass each game. "I’d like to run the ball every play. I want to go back to the old way. I want to change the game."

Also, from today's Why Your Team Sucks:

Kyle Shanahan being named "Football Jared Kushner" is the greatest nickname I've ever heard

LOL Marone and everything, but if my QB was Bortles I'd probably want to run as much as possible, too. Pass heavy offenses require a minimum level of QB competency to run efficiently, and only Marino, Manning, Brady, and Brees, through the entire history of the NFL, have proven capable of consistently staying healthy despite heavy usage over multiple seasons. Even Godgers has missed significant time over his career to injury and Fat Mike loves to run the ball.

It's really pathetic that these teams are allowing a few letters from racist moron fans to stop them from signing kaepernick. No balls at all. Teams should be writing back to these people saying we domt want your fandom so kindly **** off you racist loser with no life.

How much is Kaep looking to make and is he willing to go anywhere or is he looking for a chance to start?

i am confirmed against all qbs who routinely take delay of game penalties on 3rd & inches at home while down 24 pts in the 4th quarter without regard for or reference to their colour creed sexuality and/or gender identity
