    Shadeur Sanders is the next Johnny Manziel. Big games against small teams, never won games against the bigger match ups.

    Germs comparison to Howard is laughable at best, how many NFL DC's did Sanders go up against and humiliate?

    Howard won a National Title and played his best football when it mattered, and that's all that matters.

    Sanders didn't win jack chit when it comes to college football prestige. Oh, wait. He won the accolades, adoration and praise from his NFL Hall of Fame father, aka Coach. He's getting his college football jersey number retired because his father says so.

    I so want to follow some of these points up with, "And that's the bottom line because...." because this legitimately feels like some WWF... errr E chit.

    Deion talked his son up so much that fanboys like Kyper Jr. ate it up and being known as the king of evaluating the rest followed suit.

    His completion percentage is jacked by short behind the line of scrimmage passes. He can't scramble, he can't throw the ball away and I'll say it now. He can't play NFL level football at the NFL level, PERIOD!

    Not even going to say I hope he proves me wrong, because there is no chance he can.

    Let's "circle back" in 12 months, shall we?

    Last year Steelers had all 6 divisional games in the last 8 or 9. This year they are given a bye at week 5, 12 game stretch to the finish.

    TEAMS are given the opt. of when their bye is when they have a overseas game, so apparently they must have ask for there bye wk to be right after the overseas game.. They just didn't know when the overseas game would be. it kinda does suck to have the bye wk so early .

    RIP NFL legend Jim Marshall the all time captain of the Minnesota Vikings, much respect to one tough SOB.

    We'll revisit come September.

    On a serious note, I don't mind a losing season with a somewhat better than normal QB class expected. A matter of whether they can trade up or be so bad to get a good pick outright.

    Ugh, Rodgers came true.

    Not what I wanted, but I'm a Steelers fan and I'll still root for their success.

    I do not see this going the way all the pundits have it, I do not think he is the best option. I see another run of the mill season unfolding and par for the course, they will have multiple starting QB's this coming season.

    That said, I miss Bill Cowher and **** Lebeau. No nonsense coaches who coached one thing, their way or get out of the way.

    Minnesotans are outraged that Adrian Peterson was left off the NFL all century team. The guy could not run a route and catch a pass and was off the field on passing downs because he was too stupid to pick up a blitz and block.

    I see what you're saying but no team is taking Christian McCaffrey over Adrian Peterson. Hell, if you don't want him because of pass catching how do they leave off LaDamian Tomlinson???

    LaDamian finished ahead of Adrian in votes.

    Christian is more productive in every facet of the game and did not lash one of a dozen spawn. AP did not get elected because he is a genuine POS, trash human.

    AP is definitely a scum bag there's no doubt about that. I'm not even saying he should be the choice for sure, but I think a couple other RB would be chosen over Christian.
