Ongoing NFL Discussion Thread V

First topic message reminder :

I mean are we even sure Gordon isn't a one year wonder who never stuck around for his drop off season.

A lot of hype for a guy who's had more near comebacks than games played in years

WTF is happening at New England? The all time greatest head coach could soon be fired if things don't improve.

Jones to the Pats it is. Expecting a lot of 'if Belichick wanted him he must be great' in the short term, but even besides how often the Pats have hit on a top pick recently; when's the last time they really needed to? Pressure's on, Brady showed he can do it on his own...

Much like when the Seahawks were drafting guys two rounds ahead of any mock, turns out it's a lot easier to look smarter than everyone when you have a top QB winning games for you. That nonsense with Patricia last season would have seemed absurd in a comedy about a coach who doesn't know what he's doing too. Just feels like he bought into the idea that he's on another level and doesn't need to concern himself with what anyone else in the league is doing.

Yeah this forum is looking a bit dead, sadly.

Agree with what's said above. Patriots have drafted and spent in FA very poorly over the last couple of years. Jones has no confidence at all.

NFC South looking like it's by far the weakest division in the NFL.

I think Olly was a bit harsh on Mac Jones* - had moments last year where he looked like a decent QB: good arm, excellent touch passing and OK mobility. Just that what he has around him is a load of rubbish. Compare with Purdy at SF who has really shone in a good setup (noticing how poor he was this week when both Samuel and McCaffrey were taken out of the game), despite being a much less touted propsect.

Also, it clearly takes time for even very talented QBs to find their feet, especially coming in to under par teams - Trevor Lawrence looked all at sea his first season, but is now well into the upper tier of starting QBs.

*Especially with Justin Fields in the league - the lad is a good running back, but can't throw the ball, which is something of a limitation in the modern NFL.

I was at the Tottenham games, I was disappointed by Buffalo, they never showed up.

Saying that, the Titans were worse, and Ravens weren't much better!

I mean, the Titans best offensive play, outside of one good Derrick Henry run, was the pass interference route to De'Andre Hopkins

Got a good few plays out of that one

Gotta be honest, having played him twice a year, I'm mildly confused when Montez Sweat became a stud edge player. Good player sure but it feels strong for a guy who is a stronger run defender than pass rusher and has been the third/fourth best player on the DL most his career
