Content Post Words on things I watched, read & heard II


This has an opening post with good commentary and information, which we definitely recommend reading.
I'll never forget the Moss/TO battles & debates. Easily top 5 for me. I can't think of 3-5 guys I'd rather have from any era.

Moss, TO, Calvin, Fitz, Juilo Jones are just freaky dudes.

For TO to move the way he did at his size was incredible. And coming back from his injury in 04 to play in the Super Bowl, then set the SB receptions record (at the time) was impressive. The man could ball.

That's why I don't care about drops, catch rate etc .. (TO actually has a higher catch rate than Randy I believe) Moss & TO were two absolutely special dudes. Randy played like 220 games! That's an incredible in of itself. Yea they were different.
 
Nugget: Over the last decade, NE has had 15 joint practice opponents. They’ve signed at least one player from each of those 15 teams; 27 transactions…23 players (acquired/scooped as FA) in total. (2011 NJP…2012: Lockout…2018 NJP…2020 NJP). Please excuse mistakes.

Who should we be keeping an eye out for from the Eagles? Any educated guesses out there?
 

The "reasoning" isn't any better. They say he was only a 74 in Madden 17 (2016) because he was recovering from three surgeries. Now that he's presumably healthy, they're giving him the same rating as the last time he was healthy, 81 in Madden 16 (2015) when he was 27 and not 33.
 
I'm not sure Kaepernick in his PRIME was better than Herbert will be this year. Also, why is he even in the game? Can you bring back all non-active players now? What's Jerod Mayo's rating these days?
Simply put: Kap was never good. He thrived in a very specific system, with a great running game, above average athleticism & a top defense/coach. This is nonsense.

Owens had a 57.7% catch percentage on his career. (219 career reg season games)

Moss had a 56.4% catch percentage on his career. (218 career reg season games)
 
Wouldn’t it have been something if we weren’t stuck with guys like Matt Gutierrez, Cassel, Hoyer, Cam, Huard, Davey & Flutie all these years…?

 
Any additions, omissions, comments/concerns..?
