Official 2020-2021 NFL Football Thread

Somebody will pick him up on a prove it deal. If he passes the physical.

oh yeah, he’s not getting $15m, but someone will give him a flier. The problem is the RB position is so devalued, and you can seemingly get a decent running back anywhere. No reason to pay an injured Gurley $5-6M, when you can pay Joe Blow off the street league minimum, and he can catch and run and play special teams, and when he gets injured sign another guy that’s basically the same. Those guys are going to give you 95% of what Gurley can probably give you at this point, and for WAY less

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, Jimmy Graham showed that excellent performance on one team, in one situation, does not translate to every team.

 

[Flyn]

It's official. Broncos are going to release Joe Flacco.

 

[Kensington]

He’s had some of the best QB’s throwing at him over the years...now he gets Mitch or Foles

We’ll see how “well” he plays

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, his only really good years were when he was teamed up with Brees in the N.O. system.

 

[Kensington]

Yeah, I don’t know why he never succeeded in Seattle...I mean, it seemed like a great opportunity and good match. Maybe bad system fit? But really all you need to do is post him up in the end zone and give him jump balls...that seems system proof

 

[Flyn]

Rodgers didn't seem to like throwing to Graham. Don't know why?

 

[10sec]

There aren't many offensive players in the NFL that can go to any team and make them better. Rodgers is one that could *maybe* now, but definitely 4-5yrs ago. Take a look at OBJ, nobody even knows who he is anymore, and he didn't have the worlds best QB when they did know who he was.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, I think the system players are in makes a big difference in their production. Players fit or don't fit different types of systems.

The "generational" players can play anywhere but even Mack, for instance, hasn't been the same guy in Chicago yet.

 

[Kensington]

Rodgers didn't seem to like throwing to Graham. Don't know why?

probably because he was old, slow, and can’t jump anymore.

 

[Flyn]

I think it's more than that. If Rodgers had targeted Graham more, I bet his numbers would be way up. At the least, he's better than anyone the Bears have been using so maybe he'll help out? IMO, Trey Burton has been a bust so far.

What???
2018 he had 12.5 sacks which was 2nd highest in his career, 6FF which was the highest in his career, had a pick 6.
Statistically it was his 2nd best year as a pro
Last year after Hicks went down he was triple teamed often because of how horrible asshole #94 was.

 

[Kensington]

I mean, if he can’t separate from the corner, safety, or LB, Rodgers wasn’t going to throw it your way. Looks like he played 57% of the offensive snaps in ‘19 and 74% in ‘18, so he was on the field for a good amount of time in ‘18, but his numbers were still low, and it dropped off even further last season...that says to me that wasn’t effective at all

 

[Flyn]

We'll find out about Graham this year.

I think Mack is a superstar but he looked more superstarish in Oakland. Hopefully Quinn puts some pressure on from the other side and Mack won't get the triple teams. Floyd wasn't doing it.

With Hicks being healthy he should return to form. Anything we get from Quinn will be a bonus imo.

 

[Flyn]

Yeah, Mack, Hicks, Quinn, Goldman, Nichols, Roquan and Trevathan for the front 7. Not bad at all.

 

[Kensington]

HaHa signed a 1 year $4M deal with Dallas....THAT would've been a great bargain signing for Bears

Think only 2.5 million guaranteed unless early reports werent accurate. Just shows how bright the Bears GM is....smfh

Yeah let’s spend $70m on an aging DE that is playing out of position in a 3-4, another $18M on an ancient TE who hasn’t been relevant in probably 4-5 years, and a butt load of money AND a fourth round pick on a backup QB, who has had 1.5 good seasons in his career

 

[Flyn]

Melvin Gordon signing with Denver. 2 years $16 mil. Less than the $10 mil per San Diego offered him last year.

This is going to make some interesting changes in fantasy football.

 

[Flyn]

Emmanuel Sanders to the Saints. Wow! Brees is going to have weapons at WR.

 

[Flyn]

Nelson Agholor to the Raiders.

 

[Flyn]

Panthers are releasing Cam Newton.

Cowboys Center, Travis Frederick, retires. (Guillain-Barré syndrome, an autoimmune disease where your immune system attacks your nerves)

Patriots cut (K) Stephen Gostkowski.

No surprise on Cam
