i kind of hate the the look at one call under a microscope as if it happened in a vacuum. this holding call is moot if the refs don't botch the roughing the kicker call, missed field goal, and SF needs another possession even with the TD. there were bad calls all night long, fix all of them and you most likely get the same result.

agreed kids a bum...see brian brohm. will get picked in the 2nd because of his position, but will have the career of a 6th rounder

dmso was widely used at one point in most professional sports. prevalent in baseball for pitchers or guys hit with a ball. science and testing in sport is purely reactionary. guys just didnt know exactly what they where doing, they just new it got better. i would be willing to bet dmso at the time was in most if not all locker rooms

this might actually be a good thing. we have a direct line, from a good football mind as to whether or not this kid has what it takes. the staff can get daily updates on the guy and close feedback. we will know whether or not he has it. also i doubt marrone is a large say in the draft. a first year hc in the nfl from the big east isn't going to be able to hand pick his teams first draft choice. i dont think this kid is a buddy type player. for the record i am anti-nassib.

also interesting to note, guys like RG3 are not listening when told to stay on the side line. i wonder if players think doctors are too cautious and they want on the field(natural reaction for an athlete), or they feel like they are being forced back into games injured.

so was josh reed and he basically went from buffalo to the unemployment office

Concurred. as a former member of the US National team, it seems as though people ignore the posts like this and just keep restating...REST IS BEST. which is true to a certain extent. These sports with high volumes of training, can get a bit overboard. Football has never and will never be considered a high volume training sport. These guys need to rest to recover from their injuries, but the work involved in training for football does not necessitate long durations of rest. also working out doesn't necessarily mean lifting which a lot of people seem to think on this boars.

people hide behind this for some reason. you will not find an elite and sophisticated training program that advocates a 9 month recuperation program....anywhere. offseason is where you make strides, then you have 4 months to fine tune and maintain. take your few weeks off to rest, then get back on it. no strength and conditioning coach in the world would advocate that duration of rest as effective. Elite Athletes at the international level take just a few weeks off to recover and decompress before gearing up for the next world cup circuit and world championships. I understand the bumps and bruises that go along with the NFL, and there is a necessity for a bit more rest due to injury, but as soon as capable these guys (and the good ones are) should be running, putting their bodies together, working on flexibility. most athletes who are chronically injured are generally not very well put together and conditioned.

demetrius bell is a prime example of the idea that our offensive scheming hiding our poor O-Line play. Bell was part of a line that kept Fitz from being one of the least sacked QB's in the league, yet in Philly...abismal. we have an average or slightly above average line, nothing spectacular, we will start to see that soon.

They shouldn't interview Pugh mostly because he isn't good. Journeyman Gaurd.

it literally looks the same

I havent posted since this thread was started a while ago, but I hate it. I also hate that the trolling got to 7 pages.

Just a note worth discussing. We have been hearing since Vick, the game is changing mobile QB's are more versatile and is the movement in the NFL. I know Kaepernick is young, and he will/may have his time to win the big one, but the fact of the matter is that even back to Warren Moon we haven't seen the ultra mobile QB win the Super Bowl. We saw yesterday that a really immobile Flacco totally outplayed Kaep. I think the pocket passer will continue to be the better option for the next decade. The mobile QB has a shorter shelf life, and when defenses figure them out, they at the end of the day have to beat them with their heads and arms. The amount of great athletes in the last few drafts at the QB position is interesting, but from Newton to RG3 to Kaepernick, we may never see them win the big one while Flacco, Luck, and Brady continue to rack up the big wins in the post season Flame Away!

stevie as well as every player in the NFL, would benifit from an advanced aerobic, plyometric, core, and stretching regimen in the off season. core in particular will help reduce some of these injuries and will increase functionality and coordination. if sj was more prudent in the offseason there is a good chance these things would prevent his constant nagging groin injury.

Yes elite athlete will take 2 or 3 weeks off to decompress after the world championship, longer after the Olympics. No sophisticated schedule is taking off for 9 months from January to September. At the end of the day the rest these guys need are to recover from injury, it has almost nothing to do with their physiological need. No reason for SJ to not begin a schedule on March 1.

I am a Buddy fan, but of he is truly in charge of the roster as Uncle Russ says then this gets done or worked on regardless of whose coaching. The conversation would go like this. -Hey Buddy can you wait to sit these guys until I can evaluate them? -Doug, you just worry about coaching I'll get you the guys. You can evaluate their film to see what you will be getting next year, but they're coming back.

BPA ALL DAY

IN 62 Games Byrd has 3 Sacks, 10 Forced Fumbles, 18 Interceptions, 27 Defended Passes, and 2 Touchdowns. Byrd's stat line is flat out better the Donte's and he has played 2/3 the games. By drafting Best Player Availalable, Byrd is still a good pick. The Bills only lost by not getting any (or what little) return on Donte. You could make the argument that drafting him in the first place was the mistake. The best thing for Donte and Buffalo was that he left. Case Closed

Clearly trolling. Please shut this down

Today proved BPA all day

A) NO B)Without beating a dead horse or taking this thread a rye, you are suggesting that skin color would be Flynn's main motivator. He'd be less motivated if he where competing against a fair skinned QB? He would be happier in seattle if he lost to a white guy? I know I go to work everyday just being mad at all the black guys who are better then me at their jobs, but less perturbed at whitey for sure.

huh?...so Flynn is racist. I just don't want to hitch our wagons to one guy or this year for a QB. If Shanahan taught us anything it's find a guy you love and throw everything at him. Getting the wrong guy NOW could set us back 5 years and commit us unnecessarily. Flynn has played 1 good NFL game.

not to mention that the guy wasnt even originally invited to the game, which would put him at about the 6-8th rated qb coming out of college. no thanks

fixed

we can compare them to each other, they all have the same issues, we can see what others are capable of. trying to stay objective, some good moments for EJ Manuel, Wilson, and Glennon. Some scary stuff for Landry Jones, Dysert, and Nassib, looked pretty bad in comparison to the other QB's in the game. Missing throws, misreads, throwing into 3 defenders. I can forgive timing with recievers, but these guys aren't even playing the same game. Rate the better QB's however you like in the draft, but the bottom 3 are significantly worse given the same exact preparation coaching and receiving THIS Yes his stock could go up, it could also go down. which it did. he did not have good accuracy or even make mediocre reads. his mobility seemed sluggish. I wasnt a Nassib fan to begin with looking at tape, but given the same amount of time to prepare as the other QB's he was bottom half. Hell he wasnt even originally invited to the game. He did what he should have and stunk it up.
