Might be the best pure passer to ever play the game

New GM should hopefully shore up the defense and give Rodgers some new weapons on offense. Although apparently he's not happy with his receivers at the moment lol

Well they fired his favourite receiver. Cobb and Adams are good, granted Cobb is a china doll but they have no one else. That's actually the team I could see Dez going to if they can sell him on being the #3 guy who lines up outside in 3 wide sets with Cobb going into the slot.

Dez makes a lot of sense in Green Bay, so of course he'll refuse to go there.

I love football very much but we have to stop politicalizing every damn thing. Get on with it.

We all obviously think our teams are always ranked too low in power rankings, but the NYJ at #30 is straight laughable, but that's cool...they like to fly under the radar. They are gonna surprise a lotta folks this year.

We were predicted to be one of the worst teams last season, and we ended the drought.

Projections are almost always bullshit.

Yeah because no one can account for how many star players go on IR in this now supposedly safer NFL.

Football is bad for your bits due to all the cutting and collisions.

And that's just one of the many reasons why no one can accurately predict an upcoming NFL season.

Patriots expected to make adjustments to Tom Brady’s contract, per source. Brady is scheduled to make $15 million - a bargain - and they will be adding a variety of performance-based incentives to bring him to closer to market - like what Pats did last year with TE Rob Gronkowski

I don't dispute Brady is underpaid, but saying he only makes $15 million is misleading considering he got a $28 million signing bonus. If the entire $5 million is deemed likely to be earned incentives his cap number will go to $27 million, which would be the second-highest in the league.

A-Rod is definitely underpaid, even San Francisco fan favourite Jimmy G makes more than him. Pretty bad since A-Rod is one of the best QBs to ever play the game.

Rodgers is underpaid because he signed a five-year extension that when tacked onto the two years left on his existing deal made his total contract last seven years. There was zero doubt Rodgers would become underpaid pretty quickly with a deal that long.

8.5 wins is your prediction, I see how it is. 10 or 11 from me. Might be the most talented bunch Jason has had, receiving weapons for Dake aside. The hope seems to be the wall of Dallas and Zeke will pick up the slack for an average WR/TE bunch.

fatediesel · 08-09-2018, 06:50 PM

I took under 8 for the Seahawks a week ago. I just think they're going to be a trainwreck after losing nearly all of their defensive leaders, hiring several new assistant coaches, and a very difficult schedule.

So negative, then again that's about where I was for 2016 and 2017 so I don't really blame you.
