American Football Thread (NFL, NCAA)

Absolutely gutted but can't say I'm surprised, he'd burnt too many bridges by the sounds of things. Please * let him leave the NFC at least, Jets or Chiefs I'm guessing.

 

The Greatest QB of all time vote has reached the last 8. Donovan McNabb and Drew Bledsoe are still standing. :smiley-laughing002:

Anyway my votes for the last 8 are.................

Tom Brady v Aaron Rodgers - Aaron Rodgers
Joe Montana v Dan Marino - Dan Marino
Donovan McNabb v Drew Bledsoe - Drew Bledsoe
Johnny Unitas v Terry Bradshaw - Johnny Unitas

 

Happy for MJD and the Raiders. Always had a soft spot for both.

 

I'm really excited for the draft this year. I've been into NFL for years now but never had an interest in College football for the draft. This year I know a lot of the players in the first and 2nd rounds. So really excited to see where each player goes. Defo watching live.

 

Why did the Eagles release Jackson?

 

Off the field problems apparently. They don't like who he associates himself with etc...

 

Ah right. I didn't follow it too closely last year so was quite surprised when i saw he's been released.

 

He had something like 10m cap hit, he was apparently a * teammate and also there was an article about him being involved in gangs/murders (a bit like Hernandez)

 

Ah sounds a nice guy

 

Ryan Clark agreed 1 year deal with Washington. Who are also hosting Desean Jackson.

 

Good. I wanted Clark at the Ravens but Washington are a team I quite like since I have pals there and got to a preseason game last year.

 

Titans expected to release Chris "CJ2K" Johnson if they cannot trade him. Jets interested in Johnson.

 

Personally I'd like to see him go to the Cardinals or the Rams.

 

Jets sign WR/KR Jacoby Ford formerly of Oakland Raiders

 

The Redskins have signed DeSean Jackson... Pumped for them. 3 year deal.

 

I love biglou212's comment on that pic I posted... "Selfish * *"... He got cut dumbfuck.

 

My early predictions for the standings of each division.

AFC East:
New England Patriots
Miami Dolphins
New York Jets
Buffalo Bills

No doubt New England will walk it, and Buffalo will be bottom. Will be interesting between Miami and the Jets. I like the Miami D and the addition of Moreno on offense, so I think they will squeeze it.

AFC North:
Baltimore Ravens
Cincinnati Bengals
Cleveland Browns
Pittsburgh Steelers

Really difficult because the Steelers will be better next season and the Browns will be much better, think its too early to calk the Browns playoff contenders though even if they pick Watkins. The Ravens are a biased choice... But they are going to improve. Bengals have not done much but they didn't need to, strong young roster.

AFC South:
Indianapolis Colts
Houston Texans
Tennessee Titans
Jacksonville Jaguars

Colts have some good additions. Texans could have Clowney and some other good draft picks. Titans and Jaguars don't look like doing much.

AFC West:
Denver Broncos
San Diego Chargers
Kansas City Chiefs
Oakland Raiders

Tough between chiefs and chargers. Raiders have improved and will win more than 4 games this season. Its a tough division to call apart from top spot.

NFC East:
Philadelphia Eagles
Washington Redskins
Dallas Cowboys
New York Giants

Another tough division! Cowboys have done nothing of note and the Giants are still too weak in patches on the field. The eagles could crash and burn again, even though they are expected to be contenders. A lot of pressure on players like Foles and Maclin. The Redskins are a threat now, Morris, RG3, Jackson, Garcon, Roberts and Reed are great weapons on offense. Bringing Clark back is good too. Just a shame they don't have a high draft pick.

NFC North:
Chicago Bears
Green Bay Packers
Detroit Lions
Minnesota Vikings

As much as I want the Lions to be good for Johnsons sake... I cant see it. Peterson also can't win games by himself.

NFC South:
New Orleans Saints
Carolina Panthers
Atlanta Falcons
Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Byrd is a huge addition for the saints. Panthers and Falcons will juke it out for second while the improved Buccs could win a few games to put pressure on both teams.

NFC West:
San Francisco 49ers
Seattle Seahawks
St Louis Rams
Arizona Cardinals

I don't know... I just want the season to staaaaaart!!!!

 

One for the Ravens fans. Baltimore sign TE Owen Daniels to a 1 year deal.

FB John Khun agrees 1 year deal to re-join Green Bay.

 

After signing Jackson. Washington have signed QB Colt McCoy. Griffin, Cousins and McCoy all vying for QB spots.

 

Buzzing we got Owen Daniels. Pitta and Daniels... Flacco is spoiled for choice!

Surely means no Ebron though...
