2017-2018 NFL Season Thread [Archived] Football • Page 154

Shanahans have made a career on getting the most out of mediocre players, so, at least htat offense should be fun

 

ESPN has the Jaguars finishing second to last.

You do historic layoffs yet keep this jabroni?

 

Which jabroni?

 

Doug was on the bill barnwell podcast heh

 

Whoever wrote that terrible article haha

 

I get it. Most beat writers for ESPN are very optimistic.

 

The NYJ long snapper battle is far more compelling.

They are going to break the record for most punts in a season, so whoever they choose must truly be an elite snapper of the pigskin.

 

Interesting QB Breakdown.
NFL Quarterback Tiers, Evaluations Ahead of the 2017 Season

Some stats that jumped out

Cousins:
"87 of Cousins’ attempts last season were thrown short of the first down line but were converted after the catch, eighth most in the league." (I wonder if the loss of Garcon and D-Jax affects this is a negative way)

Tyrod Taylor:
"He lost a completion to receiver error on an accurate throw once every 10.38 attempts." (by comparison, Andy Dalton had that ever 24 attempts).

"Tyrod Taylor threw a screen pass on 4.18 percent of his attempts last year the lowest rate in the league by a significant margin. Rex Ryan never emphasized screens despite having Sammy Watkins and LeSean McCoy on the field."

Derek Carr:
"Carr was the only quarterback last year to gain more than 10 percent of his yards on inaccurate throws. He gained 11.05 percent, Crabtree and Cooper were big reasons why." (though they did also drop quite a few balls)

Jameis Winston
"34.89 percent of Jameis Winston’s yards were gained after the catch, everyone but he and Matt Barkley gained at least 38 percent of their yards after the catch." (Dude is gonna love D-Jax being added)

Carson Palmer
"Michael Floyd and J.J. Nelson combined to ruin 21 accurate passes, a huge number of which came on downfield throws."

Ben Roethlisberger
"Even without Martavis Bryant, Ben Roethlisberger threw 15.92 percent of his passes further than 20 yards downfield last year. No other quarterback reached 14 percent and the league average was 10.81 percent." (He's the new "Fuck It Im Going Deep" guy)

Marcus Mariotta
"Marcus Mariota threw 17 interceptable passes last year, nine came over the first four games of the season. He didn’t throw an interceptable pass in six of his remaining 11 games."

 

What are they about to do?

 

Trade someone they've been trying to get rid of for someone with more salary perhaps?

 

Is it season prediction time yet? I've got mine ready

 

More like I won't take a pay cut to be traded news

 

Hopefully they trade for Sheldon Richardson

 

He would become a hall of famer on the seahawks, easily would go back to 2015 form there

Probably a corner and a mid road pick for him would do

 

It's funny because that was my first thought.

 

He's still an outstanding player. The off the field concerns plus Leonard Williams make him expendable.

 

They've been trying to move him and Seattle is one of three teams that supposedly came calling for him this offseason.

 

Yea, I think it's an easy deal

 

My quarterback

 

herb

 

WOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

The fact that nothing shows up for me makes this post even better.

 

Hopefully the one by my house.
