not too familiar with madden, can someone tell me: how does this compare to the 2015 rating of last year's top 5 leading receivers? how does this compare to madden ratings of aj green, julio jones in their rookie season?

i was thinking the same thing

i've only been posting on TDB for ~2 years, but i'd love to get in on this.

is it possible that dareus is in shape enough to take the field, and that this was a veiled, punitive measure (the coaches punishing him for his earlier offseason incidents) instead of an actual failed physical - or are the league rules on the "Active/Non-Football Injury List" too strict to make that a possibility?

this is such a non story - i don't understand why people give a f***

i'm a little worried that i haven't heard much coming from the coaching staff talking him up - usually, in this overly positive time of year, we hear things like 'i wouldn't be surprised if he starts week 1,'' or 'he's got some of the best X i've ever seen' (like we did with cordy in 2012) - but not a peep about cyrus all OTAs/camp. i really liked the pick at the time, but i'm starting to wonder if he'll be read for week 1.

sammy watkins. mike williams. corey graham.

i'm not after anything - just reminding you that while you are judging marshawn lynch, we are judging you.

no real issue with OP the calling him fat - my main issue is with the OP's attitude following this realization: "let me say its not appealing to look at... Please, put some clothes on... now some of the women they got in there...whoooo ....impressive"

i find your thread distasteful. lynch is more of an athlete than you, and most nfl players, will ever be and i have mad respect for the man.

i thought he would fill the strong side, opposite?

and, sadly, probably about 10 more tackles (on guys who are now able to slip through our thinned linebacking corps).

and I mean that in the worst way possible

Sapp is the Shaq of the NFL.

did you mean the 'mike' (linebacker) position instead of the "mic" positon? or is "mic" some football lingo i haven't heard that refers to the defensive player who wears the headset? if so, the "demanding mic position" that you're talking about is the most stat-friendly position on defense . in fact, their inflated stats have helped middle linebackers to win rookie of the year 43% of years since 2000 (in spite of the fact that they make up only 1/11 = 9% of defensive rookie starters eligible).

i have this nagging fear that calvin pryor is going to be pretty high on that list by december. the kid was one of my favorite players in the draft and seeing him in green and white scares the bejesus out of me.

i think what we're all trying to say is that the premise of this thread is ridiculous at best

this makes sense, but i remain unconvinced chemistry applies to qb/wr. basketball is a sport of, for lack of a better word, frequent free-styling; players are often off-playbook in a way that football players very rarely are, like in the no-look ally-oop play that you described. you have convinced me that chemistry applies in off-playbook situations, where familiarity may be important, but in football almost all plays are so scripted (w/ the possible exception of the occasional scramble, in which perhaps familiarity becomes a factor) that familiarity with the playbook should tell the qb/wr everything they need to know, and familiarity with each other brings no new information to the table.

i'm still not entirely sure i believe wr/qb chemistry is a real thing and not just an nfl media buzz word. if a qb and wr are independently good at football and have mastered the same playbook (and its associated reads) then i don't understand how 'chemistry' plays into their passing relationship -- the passes should work. perhaps what the nfl media is trying to describe is the process of the wr earning the trust/confidence of the qb?

not sure if there's any logic whatsoever to this post

sammy watkins already has his own adidas commercial: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PtXo9boGj3g&feature=youtu.be

i'd also be interested in dustin keller.

woods

worth it. he'll be a top 5 QB once Brady, Manning, Brees retire in 3 years
