Re: NFL Off Topic

Hoyer’s decline over the last three weeks has been dramatic. In fact, going back as far as the PFF database will allow (2007), no Cleveland quarterback has graded worse over a three-week span than the -17.7 that Hoyer just accumulated.

I didn't know he was THAT bad.

Damn.

Spray Tan, though?

That's ****ed up. He even compliments his game. Not sure "getting off" was the best choice of words, though.

Oh no. Let me backtrack now. Clowney will be great. Never mind. I see where this is going lol

Re: NFL Off Topic

Whoever questioned Brady and PED use?

[slickdtc]

NFL Off Topic

He's 31 or will be sometime this month. He's been starter only 7 years or so, maybe less?

He did take a lot of hits though over his career.

As a 49ers fan, I still don't understand how Alex Smith and Rodgers were considered comparable. However, people say Rodgers was skinny and didn't have quite the arm strength coming out.

How typical is it for QBs to develop elite arm talent after coming to the NFL? If it's true that Rodgers' arm wasn't special (though his accuracy was terrific in college, made me think of Peyton who was at his peak around that time in Indy) in 2005, did he develop his arm strength by 2008, his first full year as starter?

Only other QB whose arm proved to be better than when drafted is Brady. Or at least I can't think of many others. Montana was said to throw harder several years into his career, though recently, James Lofton was saying Montana threw soft, easy to catch balls at the Pro Bowls.

There were some questions about PED use by Brady. Maybe there should be some against Rodgers, if there's as much improvement in physical attributes since coming into the league, as some claim. However, Rodgers played at an elite level, including playing well against USC when they were dominant, so he had to have some physical tools.

I tend to think the 49ers just blew the choice, that the physical talent difference should have been apparent back then as it is now.

Then again, 20 other teams missed too.

I recall the knock on Rodgers was that he was a Jeff Tedford robot QB. Remember him holding the ball up by his ear? That was an issue.

It was a weird QB draft year, kind of similar to this past year. It also doesn't help that Alex Smith had a new coordinator or coach every year for his first liken 6-7 seasons. His growth was probably stunted and now he's just the posterboy for a game manager.

Sitting in GB was probably the best thing to ever happen to Rodgers. Maybe not for the 3 years he ended up sitting for, but holding off and correcting any mechanical issues probably helped.

It's not fair to compare Rodgers and Smith even with all the obvious parallels because Rodgers has been so transcendently good. Like Peyton Manning stratosphere good. Even Drew Brees and Tom Brady, for the greatness they have shown and production they've put up, don't compare to Manning and now Rodgers. It goes to show the situation you get drafted in to can make a huge difference too.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Is Clowney a bust or is it too early to say?

If he's injured a lot next season then yes the "B" word will be bandied about quite a bit IMO.

I remember when Mario Williams was a bust. It was so funny he was drafted ahead of Reggie Bush AND Vince Young. Ah, the good ole days.

Re: NFL Off Topic

Clowney isn't a bust but it is very concerning that a lot of the things people were scared of about him seem to be playing out.

Wish we had him at full speed. Maybe he could have made a difference in the games we lost that we shouldn't have lost.

All fine money goes to NFL charities.
