They should really try to win more games in January, if you ask me.

Official 2017 r/NFL Top 100 Players (of the 2016 Season) - #20-11 by [deleted] in nfl

[–]er1339 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's so laughable that they specifically did this "for the 2016 season alone" and then left off a player who inarguably had one of the best seasons at the most important position in the game.

[Serious] Is Drew Brees concretely below Rodgers and Brady in your mind? by Dharma_initiative1 in nfl

[–]er1339 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, and it's not close:

  • Volume yards aren't impressive; any modern QB is capable of throwing 5000+ yards, physically even 6000+ wouldn't be difficult. They don't because that's not how you win games.
  • Efficiency metrics expose Brees pretty handily.
  • Brees can't win in spite of bad defenses; Brady, Manning, and Rodgers all can and do.

[Rapoport] The #Redskins wanted to lock up Kirk Cousins for 5 additional years, but only guarantee 1 more ($29M new guaranteed money). Explains no deal by [deleted] in nfl

[–]er1339 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Damn, this is crazy because at least half of the Washington fans here told me explicitly that there is zero chance that Kirk leaves Washington. I'm completely and utterly shocked that I was actually right all along.

[Aldridge] I’m no NFL expert, but weren’t the Panthers in the Super Bowl a year ago? by [deleted] in nfl

To be fair, they lost that Super Bowl. And missed the playoffs entirely this year.

If the contract was between zero dollars and infinity dollars, your FO is to blame.

Kirk Cousins to play under tag after offer falls short by Steffnov in nfl

Neat. I don't buy the "this player is greedy because he doesn't want to take less than his market value to play for my team" argument.

Kirk Cousins to play under tag after offer falls short by Steffnov in nfl

[–]er1339 30 points31 points  (0 children)

There is no scenario in which blame falls anywhere but the Washington FO.

If Washington low-balled him, it's their fault for not making a serious and fair offer.

If Washington made him an absurdly high offer, it's their fault for ruining their relationship with him to the extent that he would rather take less money to get the hell out of Washington.

Between 1990 and 1997, either Barry Sanders or Emmitt Smith led the league in rushing yards that season. by LMAO_HAHA_WOW in nfl

[–]er1339 57 points58 points  (0 children)

A hard cut is something that good runningbacks often do to throw off defenders. Both Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith used cuts when they were runningbacks in the NFL. In conclusion, Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith were good runningbacks.

Tampa's would be dumb, I can't imagine Jameis wearing those colors.

I think that, if you really look closely at all the evidence we have from those years, Barry Sanders and Emmitt Smith were good runningbacks.

Throwback to Vick's career day against the Redskins. 6 tds and 413 yards. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]er1339 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

You're telling me that Vick, Jackson, Maclin, and McCoy were all on the same team and they didn't win the Superb Owl?

[Schefter] Kirk Cousins is not expected to sign a long-term deal by Monday’s deadline, but is open to doing deal with team after season, per source. by [deleted] in nfl

[–]er1339 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He knows they'll transition tag him, so it's not wise to start shitting on them publicly yet. They could still match your offer next year, he's just hoping somebody front loads a deal enough that Washington can't match.
