Official 2014 NFL Discussion Thread

Alright, kids. Hold on to your butts. Draft day is two days away, I figured I'd start the thread "early" as the draft has already had a two week delay.

Some 2014 season info for you:

How much will Buffalo still suck? How awesome is the Manning/Welker/Thomas/Thomas quartet going to continue to be? Will Sweet T still continue to hate on the Patirots with empty arguments?

Discussion for the 2014 season begins.

I think my brain just spun a bearing. I hear clanking

Patriots go undefeated and win the SB this time. You heard it here first.





Wishful thinking, but hey, it could happen.

Oh look. Buttfuckers are out early this year. :D

Whatever. Your city doesn't need any more championships. Like for 100 more years. In ANY sport. I fucking hate the yankees and I will root for them over you.

I wonder when Brady gets hurt and can't play when they bring in Mallett and he lights it up will people still think Brady is amazing or is it really Belicheat and the team? happened with Cassel. then he went to KC and didn't do shit.

Everyone outside of the new england area knows its not brady. brady knows he doesn't have a chance at a career outside of NE...so he's staying put. He won't go anywhere else, he knows better.

Well, Jacksonville just threw a monkey wrench into the whole draft!

also - Bortles' girlfriend is a smokeshow

Weren't there some reports that Houston was interested in trading for Mallet?

A source tells me Ryan Mallett to the Texans may soon be done.

Poor Johnny Football, he's sliding further than my Stealth on the autocross track last year!

Green Bay
21st overall
Haha Clinton-Dix
Safety - Alabama

I'm baffled Carolina passed on Marquis Lee...Don't get me wrong, I love big WRs. Newton has a tendency to throw high anyhow so this should help, but idk..Feel like Lee has a better track record of being a proven play maker. Not blown away by the pick, but I'll reserve judgement for now.

who was the guy that they showed proposing to his GF right before the draft? F*cking dumb ass. she'll shit out a kid and leave his ass before that contract is up and she'll get half of it.

"Shit out a kid. "
My coffee.
It's probably true, sadly

I guess they only teach 2 of the 3 R's in Cleveland. Either that or daffy duck runs their twitter account.

I give him 2 years in the NFL...year 2 being backup to tim tebow.

I've heard he's a decent player, but I just wouldn't want that name appearing on my game program....kinda like John Kerry for president - qualifications aside, we just can't afford to have a president who looks like that.

he was pretty damn good at Ala. not lights out but a standout for sure. given the competition that he faced I'd say that put him above most.

I'm not a Manziel fan, but I disagree. The kid has an infectious attitude, and is a true gamer. He makes people around him play better. Just might be exactly what the Brownies need.

Jeremy

Meh, I think Manziel is more of an athlete than a QB. I just don't get the feeling that he can read an NFL defense, and while he can scramble and make things happen for sure, he lacks the size and strength to shake off attempted tackles and sacks like a Newton or Roethlisberger. Will certainly be interesting to see how it shakes out, I personally don't think he'll amount to much in the NFL. But I've been wrong before (like when I said that Newton would never be able to get the Panthers into the play offs because he couldn't read a defense or a playbook.)

yeah, he did it in spite of not being able to read a defense or playbook :lol:

He's shaken many would be tacklers at the college level. 6'0" and 207 is plenty big enough to so. And those ridiculous hands...9&7/8" is absurd for that height. I can't view him as an athlete. He's not fluid enough to play anywhere other than qb.

Bortles has that prototypical NFL QB frame, which is why he went early, and Manziel and Bridgewater sat.

Jeremy

the browns will get manziel hurt. bad place to be a scrambler... the offensive line is still wet toilet paper... linebackers smell blood...

Until I see otherwise, all the Browns do is end the careers of QB's. Good luck dude.

Thank goodness Michael Sam went so late or the talking heads wouldn't have had much else to talk about other than Texas not having a single player drafted... 1st time since 1937, and that was apparently the longest streak in college football. I've been saying for a long time I wouldn't draft Mike Davis (WR), but I thought he was universally projected a mid-late rounder. He signed with Oakland, ha.

B12 defensive player of the year Jackson Jeffcoat didn't even get picked up. He had two peck injuries during his time at Texas, so all he needs to do is add strength and a little finesse to his pass rush. Seattle signed him as a free agent, so that was a high value pick-up for them IMO.

If Mike Davis ties to pull some of the crap he did last season in the NFL I look for him to get leveled by some LB looking for revenge.

I thought the Patriots taking a QB in the second round was an odd choice, must be they think they can get some value out of trading Mallet? Is this Jimmy Garoppolo any good? I dont watch college ball.

he is going to get traded. I'm thinking Dallas or TB. hell maybe even Miami but I doubt they'll trade within their division. but Mallet will get traded.

Agreed.

Mallet has attracted a lot of interest lately in trades, NE probably thinks that they can trade him for a draft pick (or two) in next years draft to a team that gets desperate and with Belicheck's system they can plug someone in and still do alright.

Kenny Guiton, Ohio States backup QB just went to the Bills...

choke yourself, you pretentious bastard.

I've always wondered why they feel the need to say it as such..Is there some other crappy Ohio State that chokes in big games that they could be confused for? :suspect:
