NFL Week 13 LD

[TheOneBigWill]

Nah, the Bengals got a pick and the ball back. Owens deserves another TD to make up for that shit fuck against the Jets last week. (Unfortunately, it looks like Chad cried hard and long and it'll be his turn to try. )

 

[klunderbunker]

Because he got the TD?



I don't disagree. Infact, thats the right thing to do. Jackson (I believe) is a free agent at the end of the year. So basically what needs to happen is either play him and possibly re-sign him, only to trade him if he plays well. Or keep him and start him next year.

The only reason I can think Favre is continuing to start is simply because it's (more or less, for now) his "last year" and his body has shown that it won't be any easier for him to keep returning. So since the season is over and they can't make the playoffs without a ton of help - not to mention winning out.. why not let Favre continue to hold his starting record; especially if you have no interest or desire to keep Jackson beyond this season.

Starting him to the point of him winning meaningless games only HURTS your team come the Draft.

But, I agree they should figure out what they have with him; unless they believe over the course of those seasons he did play a lot, that that's how good he'll ever be.

If Favre does leave and they manage to get a QB, as it's not like they're going to be late in the first round anyway, it would help to have a guy with experience like Jackson around. He won't be lighting the league on fire but he'll be better than a total rookie.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Fucking Steve Johnson. Maybe he needs to quit tweeting and start figuring out how to play the way he does when I bench him. Fucker has only helped me 1 week, out of 3 (4 counting this week) when I actually start him.

Minnesota's passing defense can not be that good. They haven't been all year, I can't imagine so much changed over the course of a couple weeks.

I just simply don't see Jackson in Minnesota next season. Too many other QBs are potential free agents at seasons' end.

Vick or Kolb, Palmer (possibly), Matt Moore, Alex Smith, Kyle Orton, David Garrard, Henne, Vince Young, and (possibly, depending on his recovery and Coach) Tony Romo.

 

[klunderbunker]

Still doesn't hurt to have a solid backup. Look at Dallas if you want proof of that.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Dear AP,

Okay, I'm fucking sorry.. okay.. I'm sorry. The 1 week I bench you, because you were fucking injured.. and you get 3 TDs and 100 yds. I'm fucking sorry. I'll start you next week, and allow you to continue to fuck me when you do start over Hillis.. are you happy now.

Fuck you,
Me.

 

[The Holy One]

Because he got the TD?

I would reserve the mouth until the game is over and your team has won, but T.O. is T.O. TD Bears, Cutler to that guy with the crazy last name.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Agreed. Minnesota's problem is that they have 3 QBs who've all started multiple games and lead their respective teams to multiple victories. They're going with the sole individual who'll be a Hall of Fame QB, over the career back-ups. When what they should do, is figure out what they're doing next year.

If Rosenfels or Jackson are either going to stay, they need to be playing at least half the games, if not all of them from here on out, to see if they deserve the spot.

 

[The Holy One]

How can a guy get that open? Number 26 should bench himself after that.

Yep, but Favre will start them all, the team might get lucky and go 5-11 and then they'll go into next year clueless as to who the QB is until Favre changes his mind just at the end of camp and comes back again to make the team waste more time on him.

Almost positive MN will go QB in the draft. Especially, (again) if they can get Luck(y).

 

[klunderbunker]

And then they'll go with Favre because he allegedly gives them the best chance of winning even though he's been spotty at his very best this year.

 

[TheOneBigWill]

Is Cam Newton gonna be in the Draft?

 

[klunderbunker]

I think so. Isn't he like 26?

 

[TheOneBigWill]

You'd be insane NOT to give Favre the shot at the beginning of this season, after last year.

Fact is, Minnesota's problems aren't all Favre. Rice & Harvin have been hurting all year. Rice only just returned. The Coach hasn't been able to control what he got for lunch, let alone his team. That lead to a switch at the position. Finally, MN's Defense isn't nearly the same as they were a year ago.

All those factors come into play, including Favre being more injured this year than last - and another year older. And thus, you get a bad year.

But I can see why it's so easy to jump on the old QB who won't just die/retire. It's always the QB's fault whenever a team sucks.

Honestly though, are you telling me you wouldn't have started Favre at the beginning of the year if he told you he wanted to return; after the year he gave you last year?

 

[klunderbunker]

Damn he's 21 and a junior. That's scary.

At the beginning of the year, yes. Once the team was what, 0-4 and then 1-5 or 1-6? No.

Yeah. He could be a hit or miss in the NFL though.

True. But, at that time even at 1-6 you can't rest ALL the blame on Favre. And turnovers happen each game. Shit, Jackson's first major play in todays game was a pick-6.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I guess imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Now it will catch on like wildfire.

 

[klunderbunker]

True, but at the end of the day the QB is going to get far more of both the blame as well as the credit. The team isn't succeeding with Favre at QB, the more important position on the field. It's the one place where a change can make the biggest impact.

 

[Little Jerry Lawler]

I don't have any players in the late games so the only game I'm going to watch is Pittsburgh/Baltimore because I have Flacco, Mendenhall, and Miller.

Oakland is looking shaky so I feel good starting San Diego.

And fuck me for not staring Vernon Davis and not keeping Driver.

I'll be perfectly honest in my thoughts on this. If Jackson does NOT start next week; after the combo of Favre's injury and Jackson's performance today.. he simply won't play for them beyond being put in after another injury the rest of the year, nor will he return.

If they don't start him next week after today's game, then it will prove to the world that they simply do not like him as a crutch.

 

[klunderbunker]

No way he will. Favre is untouchable for whatever reason, no matter how many games they lose with him under center. It's the waste of a season.

I benched Vernon Davis for Greg Olsen in a FB league. No clue why.

Also, I benched the Giants Defense in two different leagues, for Carolina in the same 2. I have to hope Carolina does something.

And fuck you, Buffalo. Steve Johnson NEEDS a TD.. seriously. Who knows what he'll do if he doesn't for a 2nd straight week.
