Failed Bridge

2006 NFL Off-Season

Recommended Posts

I still have a Patriots Antowain Smith jersey, actually.

 

Well, he's from Houston, so maybe that'll motivate him.

Geez, how many teams has Antowain been with now?

 

Shame with him... he's quite talented for his size, but never had the mentality that an NFL power RB like him needs...

Yeah because Moss is such a rough character. The guy gets into an altercation with a traffic cop, and he's made out to be a danger to society.

Hey I'm a big Moss fan (and Raider fan), but don't act like Moss has gotten some unfair rap as a bad guy. He was kicked out of Florida State (think about that for a second), is in the NFL drug program, tried to run over a traffic cop, admitted to taking plays off, and I think had some high school altercation where he kicked a guy in the face or something. Not exactly going to be nominated for sainthood.

The Jags offense is going to be hurting this coming season. Matt Jones is going to have to step up huge.

I've seen a few columns on this topic -- does Flutie belong in the Hall of Fame?

 

I say no way. I like Flutie and all, but people comparing him to Warren Moon are dreaming. They played at a comparable level in the CFL, but Moon was a much better NFL QB than Flutie, who was a backup for most of his career.

 

Everyone can say that it's the Pro Football HoF and not the NFL HoF, but the fact remains that if you weren't an elite-level player in the NFL at some point, it doesn't matter how well you did up here, you're not getting in.

Would Flutie be the first NFL era player, to go in based mostly on stats from a nonNFL league?

 

He's not getting in for his NFL career.

The Dolphins signed Marcus Vick as a "wide reciever-quarterback specialist".

More proof that Saban will take anybody if he thinks their talent may pan out.

 

 

It worked out well for him at LSU when he would take guys with subpar grades like Chad Lavolais and turn them into big stars, but Marcus Vick has "PR disaster" written all over him because he's a goddamn idiot off of the gridiron.

 

Should he screw this up, the only other teams that would touch him with a 10-foot pole would be Oakland and Atlanta, the former because Al Davis will take ANY piece of talent if he thinks it might benefit him and the latter because Michael Vick may be willing to use his stroke to help out his dumber brother.

Based upon what I've seen of him, he's a goddamn idiot on the field too (flipping off fans, intentionally trying to hurt opponents, etc.).

Pats brought in Ty Law for a physical. I'd love to see him come back as he's my all time favorite Patriot's player (Rodney Harrison coming in at a close second). People don't seem to understand that he was around 80% last year after his injury and still did a pretty good job for the Jets.

Lolz.

 

I'm guessing those only popped up in Canuckia.

 

And/or Boston, but it's not like they count either.
