I hate the Rams and LA. I wish them the worst but Goff is solid for what he is. Clay Mathews did the most gentle hit on a QB and got flagged.

He had some low throws to receivers tonight, but his one pick was literally all on Everett tipping up a perfect throw for an easy 1st down. Although Goff/Everett got robbed of TD earlier that they didn't challenge b/c they marked it inside the one and just handed it off to Gurley (sucked for fantasy, though). Hope Cooks is okay, that looked pretty nasty on his head.

I don't know if I've ever agreed with a post in the NFL threads more than this one.

I hate Russel Wilson, but he has turned into an incredible signal caller. His pocket awareness rating is 100. The way he stays calm and knows his position in the pocket, he does this bounce thing as he scans targets, you can see his head scan each potential receiver on every rythm.
It's like hes counting down as he goes through his reads, while staying on his toes so he can flush out very rapidly if necessary.
Think of a guy like Brady, he also has unbelievable pocket awareness, but he isnt able to evacuate, only slide within the pocket. Wilson is throwing the ball down field with accuracy 5 seconds or more into a play, almost every play.

I agree completely. Which is why I always laugh when people tell me we overpaid Russ.

Agree. Wilson is the best QB in the NFC and has been one of if not the best for the last couple years. Unfortunately the talent heavy team of the past is also gone. He is playing with a bunch of nobodies of moderate talent.

Its really close Brees is a sure fire hall of famer but I am not sure I would anymore. I mean Brees is still really good and Wilson will never rack up his pure stats but given the talent and coaching the Saints have I think Wilson would be unstoppable in that system.

Considering they have $15.6M in cap space for this year and $24M in dead cap ($16.4M of which are Kam Chancellor and Doug Baldwin)...they would still have the ability to do so once that's all clear.
