NFL '22 Season Thread

[BCT]

Doesn’t matter what the Saints do, it’s a QB league and they don’t have one. You can’t win in the modern NFL without a top QB.

Uh - the last season Jameis started, he threw for 5,000-plus yards and 30-plus TDs.

Doesn’t matter, he can’t win games and he’s already wasted most of his career sucking in Tampa. Plus Sean Payton is gone.

Speaking of QBs who won't win any more games. Dwayne Haskins was killed in South Florida after being struck by a car (or a dump truck according to ESPN).

That's not a pleasant way to go. Man, 24 and a life ahead....why would you even risk something like that, when you have the money to have anything you want delivered. Damn shame.

The U.S. House Oversight Committee sent a letter to the Federal Trade Commission saying it found evidence the NFL's Washington Commanders engaged in unlawful financial conduct.

In the letter obtained by The Associated Press, the committee said the team withheld ticket revenue from visiting teams and refundable ticket deposits from season-ticket holders.

If there is anything that will make the other owners turn on Daniel Snyder it would be fucking them over on money. This will be interesting to watch.

It is being reported that Arizona quarterback Kyler Murray will not play without a new contract.

 

[gmase]

That strategy worked out so well for Le’Veon Bell.

Kyler should just sign with the Jets now.

First round of the Draft is complete. Only one quarterback taken in the first round. AJ Brown traded to the Eagles.

This is a debate I'll be interested to follow. I think Winston is a knucklehead, but I also think that he gets too much blame for all the picks he threw in his first year with Bruce Arians (something every QB with Arians does 1st year, and picks usually mean overconfidence).
He's got good options on offense, and I think he's got too much natural talent not to mature, unless he's an irredeemable schmuck. Improving D and a coach that's good at that. I give him a 9-8 season at least, if he starts them all.
