The issue with Seattle is that they have skimped so hard on their offensive line, and I think it's starting to catch up with them. Wilson's mobility, imo, masks that weakness to an extent. He can buy time, and he is an incredible playmaker on the run. However, last year he was quite banged up...

Can we please retire the whole "quotes around the word 'expert' thing"? It is so hackneyed and done to death. They are analysts, not soothsayers -- making wrong predictions doesn't invalidate their opinions. I swear, every time an analyst says something remotely negative about the Pats this...

Wow, I couldn't agree more. First off, let me establish that I am pro-weed and support the legalization of it. However, the fervently pro-weed crowd evangelizes marijuana as such a magical panacea that it's almost impossible to take them seriously. What you described above is becoming so...

I don't understand how people are so sensitive on this board. Honestly, it's disturbing how fragile some people are.

Maybe, but Andrew Hawkins is 30 now. He seems more like "insurance, with a good chance of not even cracking the 53" than "looking ahead a year or two".

Nice post, I've had similar thoughts. It's not easy to miss one year of football, let alone multiple years. There's valuable development he has missed out on. I really would have no idea what to expect if Gordon was reinstated and got another chance, but I doubt we'll ever see the elite upside...

I have no sympathy for Gordon whatsoever. Smoking weed is not a big deal -- I hope it's legalized -- but that's besides the point. This is about following rules, and Gordon has demonstrated an inability to follow them. I don't care if this is the Yankees and the rule is as stupid as "no facial...

Pretty sure PFT is being facetious here...

Disclaimer: I hate Tebow. I agree Tebow is a non-prospect (and that his numbers are especially bad, given that he's a grown man going up against many fresh-out-of-high-school, gangly, twig-armed teenagers), but I can't help think of Rick Ankiel. When he announced he was converting to a...

Some of the sensitive posters here are going to be offended that he deleted the Tweet. They're going to say it's disrespectful to the Patriots.

Especially when that guy is Brandin ****ing Cooks!

Okay, cool -- thanks for the clarification. In that case, I completely, 100% agree with what you're saying. I could potentially see it being a fit (albeit unlikely) for the reasons you mentioned.

Right, I get it. It's just we hear this argument every single time a player becomes available (for example, Adrian Peterson). All I'm saying is Barnidge had 1000 yards and 9 TDs in 2015 (although his 2016 was a step back from that). I think he can do better than being the 3rd TE on the...

Your Manning "decline period" includes one of the most prolific QB seasons in NFL history. Come on. Trivializing that as him "altering his game" is hyperbole.

Well, we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I don't agree with your depiction. We are just going to go round and round in circles. I'll finish with this. Of the pool of all players in NFL history, very few have remained very productive into their 40's. It's almost unprecedented. The...

It's completely true. Favre had arguably the best year of his career in 2009 (33 TD, 7 INT, 107.2 passer rating). The next year he missed 3 games (the first time since 1992) and had 11 TD, 19 INT, and a 69.9 passer rating in 2010. He retired. After his neck injury, Manning had arguably (2004...

Peyton Manning and Brett Favre were also iron men, and both indeed hit a wall -- and fast.

People say this a lot, but I think it is romanticized and exaggerated. Even if his regimen truly is unprecedented, it's not like other old quarterbacks were sitting around eating Cheetos and drinking Mountain Dew all day.

I agree with you on virtually everything, but not on this. Obviously every player is "one hit away", but being older makes him more susceptible. There's nothing controversial about that statement.

I fully believe Tom Brady intends on playing til his mid-40's (whether that's realistic or not, I believe that's his intentions). In the emails leaked during the investigation of Deflategate, he clearly said (paraphrasing), "Manning's career is almost over, I have another 7-8 years left." That...
