Lol which team is your team? Also, don't get so excited. The general consensus is i'm retarded and a meth-head so my opinion might not be worth much.

Yep, the best player on the field in high school is the average player in college, and the best player on the field in college is average, at best, in the NFL.
QBs can get away with all sorts of things at lesser levels because they are virtually a man among boys out there. You try that crap at the NFL level and you will quickly get your head handed to you. (Also why evaluating college QBs is so tricky, because the footage is essentially against worse-than-NFL-scout-teams.)

What's that you say?
It's funny to watch that now, if this happened last sunday Ike Taylor would be suspended for a game probably, where as I don't even think he was fined for that.

Perfect example IMO is that 400lb highschool runningback that got linked on one of the forums recently. Of course he's going to get the ball every play that he's capable of moving and not busy eating his 17 dinners. I'll stop watching football the day I see a 400lb runningback in the pros tho (unless he's like 8'8", then i'll bandwagon like a motherfucker for that team).
I still cringe thinking about the Pat White hit and I didn't even have to rewatch it just now haha.

Pretty shitty policy if this is true, granted its not like the seahawks have a good record in this area.

Wait, I thought you lived in Florida?
Yeah, it's interesting to look at the difference in attitudes years back. Get a concussion? Well, let's just glue a bunch of foam to your helmet.
I had thought for years that they added the foam because of the way Lanier tackled, but I learned later that after he had his first concussion that he completely changed the way he tackled so as not to have head contact. They added the padding after that season as a precaution but it wasn't much of a factor since he tried to avoid head to head contact after that, and he said he kept it because he liked how the helmet looked.

This is true. Will Hill went to my high school, he plays for the Giants now, and he literally just outran everyone on the fucking football field. He played safety so he'd intercept anything damn well near him, and he played "QB," which was more like throw 5 passes a game to WIDE open receivers, otherwise run around a lot and just gas everyone. And this was against top fucking competition, as Prep plays outside a lot of games outside of NJ as well as having huge rivalries with Don Bosco and Bergen Catholic. Nothing like the south (looking at you Alabama and Texas), but pretty damn good.

The crazy thing is, the Fridge was only 300lbs. He just seemed HUGE back in the 80s because most lineman were like 270, 280, up in that range. I think he was maybe the first starting D-lineman in the league that was over 300lbs. Nowadays, that's undersized for an interior D-lineman or any O-line position outside of center.

Also, for the record, Gods Gift to QBs Alex Smith has run the read option with Jamaal Charles multiple times this year. It's not something the Chiefs regularly do, but they might bust it out once a game.
I see the read option as being just like the Wildcat was about 5 years ago. Something a little gimmicky that might work once or twice a game, but definitely not something that would work as your primary offense in the NFL

Wiki (which isalwaysaccurate) listed him at 335lbs. What amazed me though, was his Superbowl ring size. 25. Jeezus.

Yeah, when I said it was dead I didn't mean it would never be used successfully again, but it's not going to be the basis of anyone's offense the way it was last year. I don't think we'll see a QB run for 175 yards in this year's playoffs.

Ehhhhhhh, do you remember who caught the bubble screen and beat every single Pittsburgh defender? That was Demaryius Thomas. They also had Eric Decker. And Brandon Lloyd. And Julius Thomas. And Knowshon Moreno. And a still decent Willis McGahee. And their defense was really good and kept them in games when the offense scored 6 points for 3 1/2 quarters. All the weapons that people gush over Peyton having? Yeah Tebow had all of them, minus Welker. Plus a better defense. Nice revisionist history.Wizardhawk_sl said:

Hey you know that guy who was the qb for the worst offense in the league? You know, the guy that wasn't good enough to replace Sanchez? It's bullshit he's not starting right now.
