Re: NFL Off Topic

What's the main difference between limited and game jersey? I see one for $150 and other $100 but not sure how they're diff.

Also, any NFL fans in Canada, where's best places to find NFL jerseys, specifically the $100 ones? Preferably in store, not online.

The big thing to remember is that there are three types of NFL jersey that Nike makes. Elite, Limited and Game. Spoilers the rest for Tapatalk folks.

Spoiler

Elites are the most expensive running at about 290-300 bucks a piece. They're the authentic jerseys though that are as close to the on field jerseys as possible. The unique look of the neck of the jerseys is only replicated on these jerseys, they're the only ones with the Flywire technology and water repelling fabric. They're also sized differently from the other two which go by the simple S,M,L, etc. these are sized by number with I believe 40 being the smallest and 60 the largest.

Limited are the middle ground jerseys that feature some but not nearly all the premium features of the Elite. They do have twill embroidered numbers and the strategic ventilation like the Elites. Those are the 150 ones.

Game are the $100 ones. They feature screen printed numbers.

Basically your choice will come down to whether you want screen printed name and numbers or sewn on name and numbers.

Use these pics for reference too. These are also a good way to spot fakes as they aren't nearly as detailed.



Check the differences in the neck, coloring, zoned ventilation in the stomach, lower back, under arm areas of the Elite as well compared to the others with these Titans jerseys. First one is the Elite, second the Limited and last Game.

Lol elite. I remember when it was just replica (screen printed) and authentic (embroidered). That's good to know though I haven't bought a jersey since Willis McGahee.

In my experience, screen printed sucks. Worth the extra dough for embroidered.

Yeah, every screen printed jersey I've ever had the quality has been worse than the embroidered in the material of the jersey and the numbers have eventually peeled off after enough washes/general wear and tear.

Re: NFL Off Topic

I agree with you except the part where he is a risky backup. I don't agree with that at all. I actually think he is one of the better backups on the league if he accepts that. His biggest problem, imo, is his consistency. That problem isnt as heightened when he is a backup.

He's a better QB than a Derek Anderson or EJ Manuel in any system though.

That's not the argument (at least not mine) against him as a back up. If we had to find a starting QB from the pool of backups, he'd likely be at the top of the list. But the backup role for many teams isn't just the next best QB available. As mentioned before, it's possible that he needs to play in a certain type of system that is drastically different than the starter needs (and that the entire offense... especially the oline have practiced in). Suggesting that he can just adapt is just a guess. You may believe he can... I'm not making an opinion on it one way or another. Just throwing an educated guess as to why he's not getting as many offers as some think he should.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Chiefs extended Andy Reid, half hour later they parted ways with their GM.

I wonder if they left him a voicemail telling him that he was fired?

Maclin's in Baltimore like.... *sips tea*

Re: NFL Off Topic

Clark Hunt told John Dorsey he wasn't going to extend him next year so they decided to part ways now. Wow.

Fixed that for you

Re: NFL Off Topic

So... why? Chiefs have been pretty damn good under Dorsey and Reid as HC. Power play for Reid to take over GM type duties? Pretty sure he had major control of the Eagles when he was in Philly.

[mestevo]

Re: NFL Off Topic

Nah, already been said that Reid isn't getting gm duties. Reported issues with Dorsey were contracts like Houston and Berry being done later than they should so they cost more.

More recently I wonder if Hunt takes issue with Maclin being released.

Also it's Schefter says they didn't part ways mutually, Chiefs fired him.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Wow, that's pretty crazy what went down in KC. I'm betting the Maclin situation was the last straw there. Dorsey won't be out of a job for very long iMO.

So just go for the $150 jersey? Idk how much I'll wear it. Might be more for souvenir, but still want it to last as long as possible, if not forever.

Yeah, definitely spring for the limited at least. The sewn on numbers/names makes a difference even if you don't have the cash for an authentic one.

Re: NFL Off Topic

So...I saw an article this morning by B/R essentially discussing how Andrew Luck is trying to avoid being a "bust". Is this serious? Do we really consider him even close to a bust? What he has been able to do with a pretty awful team in Indy is beyond impressive, IMO. You put him on a team like NE, GB, Seattle, etc, and he'd be incredible. I guess this is the NFL...where QB's get credit for the W and L's.
