Wienku left his post as king of animus and fools to join the good side for super bowl 49. His reign as king of patriot-gaf will never be forgotten!!!
 
Oh god not the horrible orange ones again ugh they should have at least done aqua....I wonder which game we'll wear the throwbacks for....now those were some sexy ass jerseys....

Well the cowboys one reminds me of the normal thanksgiving ones they use with the star on the shoulder, those were nice but the vast majority have been ugly ass bright colors that don't look good and judging from the leak Rams/Seattle pic that trend is going to continue. If the Dolphins use the orange color it'll probably look like this but neon orange and full bodied...that's ugly

Both these jerseys look so much better than our normal ones.

Hope we see the throwbacks at least a few times this season.

Actually the new uniform has grown on me, I like it better than the last ones we had with the more cartoony dolphin, those throwbacks tho are something else, would love it if we returned to those. I would love it if they used the throwbacks on the road against the rams or chargers since I'm going to both games.

I don't dislike the new unis at all, I think they look great. The throwbacks and the orange unis are on another level though.

I haven't seen the Color Rush jerseys tho, but I can only assume how bad it'll look if it's anything like most of the ones we've already seen.
 
Sorry to be lttp on Johnny Football but damn dude is out of control. Just watching local news about trashing his rental in Hollywood Hills. And he's at Coachella. Also Gordon fucked up hanging with him. Like I sad sorry to be lttp with his status.

I can't feel bad for Gordon anymore. This is his 3rd year of trouble in the NFL, just like this is Manziel's 3rd year of NFL trouble. It's sad, but they don't think they have a problem and are doing everything they can to actively avoid anyone telling them they do. It's seeming more and more like they're choosing to not be in the league.
 
Everyone agrees, on paper the kid has it. We're just all wondering if the level of competition will hurt his transition to the nfl. If he did that in the big 10 or SEC he would be the next Andrew Luck. whoopity doo, you played Youngstown State, South Dakota, Montana and Weber State. The biggest name he ever went against was Iowa State. I mean QBs that come out of the SEC struggle and theyre used to playing elite college defenses. Kas made a great point, Big Ben played in a garbage conference but completed 70% of his passes. Wentz is doing like 62%.

Bruce Arians
So how do the NFL evaluators take into account those game tapes that Wentz produced against FCS teams, when an equally alluring prospect like Goff was putting together his resume against Oregon, Stanford and USC?

"Do they dominate?" Arizona head coach Bruce Arians said. "They need to dominate at that level. They can't just be a good player at that level. They have to dominate the competition, and they have to have a swagger about them to be able to come into a locker room of SEC guys and other guys with a chip on their shoulder."

The current list of NFL starting QBs have the following college conference affiliations:

FCS
SEC
Big 12
B1G
ACC
Big 12
B1G
Ivy League
SEC
SEC
Pac 10
Big East
FCS
MWC
FCS (Josh McCown)
MAC
ACC
SEC
B1G
ACC
Pac 10
Pac 10
CUSA/AAC (Bortles played his final year in the AAC after realignment happened)
Pac 10
Pac 10
CUSA/Pac 10 (Depends upon if you want to call Foles or Keenum the starter)
Big 12
ACC/B1G (Russell Wilson played his final year at Wisconsin)
PAC 10
MWC
MWC
ACC

So that's
4 SEC
4 FCS (Romo, Josh McCown, Flacco, Fitzmagic)
3 full time in B1G plus 1 year for Wussle
3 for the Big 12 (although 2 of those schools are now in the SEC, also I'm counting Blaine Gabbert here)
4 for the Pac 10 (plus Nick Foles would be 5),
1 for the MAC
1 for the defunct Big East,
4 for the ACC (plus those other 3 years of Wussle)
2 from the defunct C-USA
3 from the MWC (including 2 from schools that aren't part of the MWC now)
(If Kapernick was a starter then you could represent the old WAC)

That's 18/32 from Power 5 conferences, 10 of 32 from FBS Mid Major conferences (sorry AAC and Big East fans) and 4 of 32 from FCS schools.

There's obviously a pretty noticeable bias towards drafting QBs from established conferences. The funny thing about the 4 FCS QBs is they represent pretty much every non bust level career path a player could have, from career journeyman to Super Bowl MVP. It's almost like drafting is an inexact process!

Even weirder was Kathy Griffin was one of those that complained about the partying and the noise.

People would love the Oilers throwbacks imo. The Oilers belong to Houston. That said, there's no way they wear those uniforms unless the daughter is cooler about it than Bud. And she may be. The whole family is still in Houston and the Oilers uniforms has almost no value to the Titans. But I'd say like a 2% chance it happens

I believe in the Steelers to end the Romo Magic for good and break Chris's heart so he'll hate them as much as me.

Should one be done for Bradford and (god forbid.. Please?) RG3?

I advocated against the Bradford pool but ultimately participated because that dude made WAY too much money before he ever threw a ball professionally for me to feel bad for him.

I can't go along with yall betting injury on a nice, homely kid from Eastern Illinois like wienke, I mean, Antonio Romo.

And that's exactly why you shouldn't feel bad for him.

Also we didn't gamble.. We just made predictions. Line never won anything from the Bradford Pool.

Injury pool probably one of the most degenerate things in the thread.

i doubt anyone would make a injury pool in a thread in OT so why here

Floyd participating? You're On the trade block! We've been looking for a reason to trade you! It's like I'm Goodell and your Gordon we looking for reasons!
 
If you guys are serious about that injury pool, you'd be smart to pick a week with a divisional opponent, Redskins most likely.

That being said, fuck all ya'll!
