Does anyone else think RG3 should retire? I've realized that the dude is just not made for professional football. The dude is made out of glass. The only thing that kept him from being destroyed is his legs, and after 2 acl issues, I think that might not be working so well anymore. Ahmad Brooks said that RG3 shouldn't be playing football cause his knee's not better, but it's been a year + since the original injury. I think what Brooks' is trying to say is that RG3 is simply not cut out for pro level hits. How many times did RG3 stay on the ground for awhile, 4-5 times?

With his endorsements and shit, he's worth 10 million already. Perhaps he should cut his losses and move on, he's smart enough that there are plenty of options open to him, perhaps even become an analyst right off the bat. He would also be a legend, NFL rookie of the year who retired to avoid long term injury. He would be a new voice of reason. Some of those college stars might get to the NFL, realize the defenses are just too good and too big for some college standouts to play. Perhaps guys like Danny Amendola, Sidney Rice, Darren McFadden might look at RG3 as an example of the future of the NFL.
 
honestly I knew after last year, the "Year of the Break-out Rookie Quarterback," that at least half of these rookie QBs were going to be a flash-in-the-pan. I remember Big Ben Roflsberger was asked about the extreme amount of success those rookies enjoyed last year, and his response was sorta like "well, let's just wait another year or two before we crown them Kings"

and I believed Big Ben then and I believe him even more so now. it's possible for an athlete to experience success as a QB for one year. difficult, but still possible. however, a truly great QB will be great for many more years but one year

I think RG3 had a good year because he was in tip top physical condition and health. his coaches STUPIDLY called plays that, while they were successful, spited his body. I remember last year seeing RG3 line up as a WIDE RECEIVER for a play, against the Steelers, and then what happened? the ball was thrown to him, but he dropped it cuz he got ABSOLUTELY SMASHED by the hardest hitter on Pittsbugh's defense, our safety Ryan Clark

I also think Collin Kaepernick is not even better than an average QB. last year, San Fran was an absolute BEAST on all aspects of the team. they had an amazing defense, so many weapons on offense, and FRANK GORE tearing it up. with those kind of levels of bad assery, only a putz at QB would have missed the playoffs. I seriously doubt CK will be in this league for more than 3 or so years...

I think RG3 is just scared, and that may very well do him in.

As for Kaep, I think he's good, but if you look around the league you'll see that all the elite QB's are 'pocket passers' and that's likely never to change, as defenses catch on to the fast mobile QB's, and they end up being plagued by injuries so end up as back-ups (just look at Vick). Kaep throws a decent ball though, so maybe he can be more of a McNabb who could throw the ball and only scramble when he needed to. I don't know though, and as always only time will tell.

The city I live in is one of the most multicultural big cities int eh US, ive met plenty of black people. I realize that a lot of black people dont grow up in inner cities, which is why I used the word MANY instead of ALL.

And im not a vegan. Stop being such a stupid cunt.

ooo someone can't take a joke
 
I don't understand why helmet to helmet isn't a penalty in that situation? Surely that is protecting the players more than some of the soft face mask penalties that get dished out
 
I know, Busty. he was obviously "targeting"

and then the rule that the player is done automatically when his helmet comes off, NO forward progress what-so-ever was bullshit

but again, I tip my hat off to the Ravens. they had that stadium rocking. I hate Baltimore so so much, but I do respect them. it was a classic AFC North rivalry grudge match. I don't have much to add except that Pittsburgh's kicker made an absolute ass out of himself

and LOL SMFH @ Tomlin
 
damn I heard the cardinals are the number one rush defense?

so many possible outcomes

shady could go for 150 or 15 I feel like and it all depends on if Nick Foles can get somhing going off play action

hes pretty good at it though, he acfually just pretty good at a lot of shit

carson palmer throwin either 2 tds or 2ints

defense is somewhat better but Cary Williams, WHERE U AT?

if he gets more pass breakups than penalty flags he had a decen game

you gotta be better than decent against larr fitz though, fuck I still remember 07, he ran all over every team in the playoffs

should have left AZ and wenf to New England

randy moss all over again
 
that ma'fucker larry fitz grew up in minnesota
but went to Pitt, nearly unforgivable

at least he stayed out of big ten, but damn gophs could have used ya

AZ is looking tough, bruce arians is a great coach... go eagles

go rams, beat harbaugh, say good bye to stupid candle in the wind stadium
 
I always assumed Larry was from Pittsburgh? he always talks about his family being there and shit?

DAMN he would be a good Steeler. what fan WOULDN'T want Larry Fitzgerald? not only is he perpetually at the top of his game, he is a class act

its more about the guys who dont get millions of dollars (all contracts are pre-tax figures btw, everyone forgets this. Have you looked at YOUR paycheck lately? gross /= net) yet still were lied to by the NFL about concussions.

If they had just been up front about this shit like they are trying to do now, there wouldn even be a lawsuit

but they denied any link from concussions to permanent brain injury while making BILLIONS off big hits and gladiator-esque behavior

I dont take either side really, the players know the risks, the league knows the risks

all that is expected is just some honesty, which the NFL and its large team of lawyers never seems to have to resort to

This. The issue isn't that these guys are having health problems from playing football. The issue is that the NFL knowingly and willfully covered up data pertaining to the issue that might have helped these guys make a more informed decision, or at the very least prepare for this possibility later in life. Many of them say that if they could go back in time, they would do it all again, but it would have been nice to know.

Black people being rescued from the desperate clutches of depression era poverty and raised up to the million dollar milky white tit of the NFL is an outlier, not the norm, Care. most of them are from normal, working or middle class families, from the country or from the suburbs, they go to college and play college ball and then most of them don't go to the NFL and go on to lead normal middle class lives as insurance salesmen or EMTs or bankers or whatever they went to college for. if you're looking for every-black-player-is-like-The-Blind-Side, look at basketball - where they recruit straight out of high school.

not all black people live in cities, especially in the south. rural living is kind of shit, but it's shit for everyone, including the white people who live there. they play football not to escape the terror filled running the streets gang warfare - but because it's a way for them to go to college, which most likely their parents never did, or older brother never did, or whatever.

education is an extremely stressed high priority in black families, education is the way for black children to not end up in prison or dead. no black mother says hurry up be good at football so you can go to the nfl, they say be good at football because they'll pay for you to go to college. but i know you don't know that, since you've never met a coloured person in real life.

And this. For the most part.


Maybe it is just where I live, but the overwhelming majority of kids being recruited down here are from the inner-cities. They come from desperate ass circumstances, and I think you pretty much need to come from desperate circumstances to play in the NFL, even before all this shit about concussions came out. You knew from the start that you were at the very least sacrificing your body if you made a career out of football.


Although it seems like everyone forgets that white people are desperate too. A lot of these NFL players are white guys who came from rural communities out in the middle of Who-Gives-a-Fuck, where football was looked at as the only way out for a lot of young people as well. It's not an exclusively black thing.


And it seems that some of these mothers do only care if their son makes the NFL down here. Football is a way of life in the inner-city areas of South Florida.

I'm so sick of the Cowboys and tony romp and this America's team bulls shit,

if they make the playoffs I swear to god I'll spear a baby puffer fish
Click to expand...

the cowboy franchise will always be the sport's media's sugar daddy

goal of national media is to get as many people looking at them, cause of advertising

more views, more money
they can't ignore the huge ratings spike after saddling up

marketing research technology is x100 what it was 20 years ago

stop tuning into popular media, there's some excellent alternative media outlets(blogs, podcasts, youtube, etc), expect them to improve as years go on

i feel your pain though, when any of my teams are playing well i tune in and hope to see them get exposure that i feel they deserve
might get a mention, but their on-field performance will never dominate a discussion

so now i'm extremely selective when i tune into anything nflnetwork, espn, or fox sports, they don't care about my needs

the standards they hold their on-air talent to appears too conservative, censoring personalities is unpure BS, huge turnoff
gotta give them credit for being smart enough to cover what the world's eye is on, with confidence, thanks to marketing research

all stories truly inspiring?
not $$worth$$ their $$time$$

wow I just tune in and learn Josh Harris bought Charlton Athletic of the Football League Championship

no idea what to make of this guy, but if they ever get in the premier league thats a good money maker

I feel like MCW should get partial stake in this Charlton investment, if you watch the sixers you know what im sayin
