The NFL Offseason/Pre-Draft Thread

Recommended Posts

It's to the point I as a Bears fan no longer want to see him in a Bears uniform. He might be a great player and all, but he has shown me ZERO respect towards the franchise by being the ONLY 1st rounder to hold out. That's fucking ridiculous.

Saner heads finally prevailed and named Tim Rattay as the 49ers' starter over Alex Smith.

 

Smart move...no point in letting the supposed future of the franchise get demolished right out of the gate.

More proof that San Diego has to be the most fucked-up front office in the NFL right now...

 

Not that Gates has been making that much more sense in his explanations why he blew off the Saturday deadline to sign his tender agreement.

To be fair, the Spanos Goofs have improved their front office dealings over the past 3 years. Hey, they landed Drew Brees and LT in a trade with the Falcons who ended up getting Mike Vick so they haven't shat the bed...yet. This is coming from a Raiders fan too. AJ Smith is a good GM who has managed to get himself into the good graces of the Spanos family. In the past, that wasn't always the case with an SD GM.

 

The "Most Fucked Up Front Office" award goes to the Chicago Bears. They still don't have an O-line when it was one of their glaring flaws last season. The McCaskey family must be getting spoon fed meth by their GM.

 

The lifetime achievement award for MFUFO is still in dispute between the Cardinals and the Saints though. Bill Bidwell and Tom Benson could have brought down the 49ers in the 80's if they had taken over the team from Eddie DiBartolo.

 

Mike Brown's got a strong case for the lifetime achievement award too. His team went *15* straight losing season almost. That's some douchebaggery right there.

I think the clear winner for MFUFO has got to be the Cardinals. They were so terrible for so long. Arizona was the place to go for your career to die (Emmitt Smith), and has produced several losers who have gone on to stink up the league elsewhere (Jake Plummer, David Boston). And that's just recent history. It's kind of scary that they actually seem to be improving.

 

Jerry Angelo in Chicago has had this extended grace period because of that 12-4 season they had a few years back. He almost has to get canned this year, barring some kind of miracle playoff berth.

The thing that I don't get about the Cards is actually what I don't get about Denny Green ... he started 3 in the last 2 months of last year & is starting a 4th to start this season ... yet has passed over a handful of QBs that are all better than what he's had to work with.

 

And this is a guy that had HOW many QBs in Minnesota? Off the top of my head, Salisbury, Moon, George, Cunningham, Gannon, Culpepper ... and I'm sure I'm missing a few. It's like he has a "we need a QB" fetish.

Others:

Jim McMahon

Brad Johnson

Spergon Wynn

 

In the Green Era, ten of them started. The amount that the Bears had for QB's starting is baffling:

 

Mike Tomczak

Henry Burress

Jim Harbaugh

Steve Walsh

Erik Kramer

Dave Krieg

Shane Matthews

Rick Mirer

Cade McNown

Jim Miller

Kordell Stewart

Chad Hutchinson

Rex Grossman

Craig Krenzel

Johnathan Quinn

 

It's just been horrible for Da Bears.

I sure hope the Eagles offense and defense can perform this well consistently during the season. Of course I'm just reading internet updates while I'm at work. It could be shitty offense and defense from the Bengals.

Considering that half the team's injured and continuing to get worse, it doesn't look pretty.

Redskins offensive line pushed around the Steeler's starting defensive line, like they were little girls. The Hogs are back. Also, Ben looked horrible.

Yeah the Redskin offense looked much nicer tonight than it had previously. Either that, or Pittsburgh was just majorly sluggish tonight on defense.

The Bears should go ahead and try Orton out with the first team offense for their final game. They have nothing to lose (a good preseason record of 3-1) so why not, right? He can't be worse than Chad Hutchinson...

Just saw this on ESPNEWS, the Bronco's will release Maurice Clarett which is very good. He'll probably end up in Canada or something.

 

You know I don't feel bad for Clarett but I do feel bad that nobody stepped up and told him he was a fucking moron that needed to shape up.
