2016 NFL Season thread

I hope that the Texans develop and/or sign a receiver to help Hopkins. Osweiller might get by with being a ball-control QB.....but the Texans will still need TDs instead of FGs.

 

the issue is that theres some good talent out there and some crappy talent in the qb position. I think rg3 or johnny football will end up either in Oakland or buffalo

 

I don't follow the Raiders unless something they do is "big" news. I thought that Derek Carr was doing well with the Raiders.

I found this article interesting.

The Fall of Johnny Football: How did it go so wrong for Manziel? | The MMQB with Peter King

The Fall of Johnny Football: How did it go so wrong for Manziel? | The MMQB with Peter King

 

that was a good article

 

I had wanted to read more about Manziel as person. The article portrayed him much as I thought--A kid who got everything he wanted, who is now having a hard time dealing the reality of making it in the NFL, and the possibility of being just another guy. It also shows that his drinking goes back quite a few years (not that is a shocker).

 

Was RGIII a good QB needing development but stuck in a bad situation with the Redskins, or a just a bad QB?
Will he live up to his potential with the Browns?

The NFL shuffle of mediocre, yo-yo, & unknown quality QBs continues.

Related to the dearth of of good QBs, and how the Broncos made it to and won the SB with their defense, I'm guessing that top D players will be seeing some even more lucrative contracts.

 

I was about to ask, but the reports I'm now seeing indicate that Kaepernick will most likely stay with the 49ers.

-------------------------------------
It seems that jackass jerry jones hasn't completely written off the possibility of signing Manziel, but first wants to "help" him. If Manziel had "partying" relapses in Cleveland, what might happen when he's back in Texas close to his "friends?" BTW/TBF Borla had mentioned this potential problem many months ago.

I have no idea what the NFL would think of a team owner helping a free agent player without first signing that player, and apparently neither does jackass jerry.

This morning I heard a report on the radio that Manziel very recently had three incidents.

One of the entertainment "news" programs showed a video of him acting strangely (not drunk?, but possibly stoned?).

He was a passenger in a car, and the driver ran into a light pole. They both fled the scene on foot. The driver is connected to a famous rapper?

Rosenhaus has dumped Manziel.

Also reported--Manziel is living with a Browns player who was on suspension when Manziel was with the team. It seems that Manziel continues to hang around with the wrong people.

Interesting note--The local media (sports and news), who gleefully rode the Johnny Football gravy train, are now barely giving him any attention.

 

The Titans appear to be a team needing a complete rebuild, i.e. it ain't going to happen in just one or two seasons. If their GM and scouts are on the ball (horrible pun!) obtaining additional picks to (hopefully) address multiple needs rather than getting one or two high profile prospects might be best for them.

 

The Houston Texans 2106 Schedule, and my limited predictions. If the Texans defense has improved, and Osweiller proves to be a at least a competent QB, a few "close" games could go to the Texans.

W = should be a win.
w = might turn out to be a loss.
L = loss.
l = might turn out to be a win.
? = self-explanatory.

So I have the Texans finishing 12-4, with four maybe not wins, and one maybe not loss.

It sounds like Johhny Foosball is determined to stupid his way out of professional football, regardless of what level. Well, there might be a desperate semi-pro team in BFE willing to take a chance on him.


BTW foosball isn't a misspelling. I don't even know people still play foosball, it was a popular table game when I was a kid.
