REAL FOOTBALL Thread

Wow I thought Buffalo would be somewhat decent this season. Watching their first team throughout this first half and their offense looks poopy. EJ Manuel looks awful. I expected him to improve. He still can obviously, but this is your last "tune up."
 
Bradford may have torn his left ACL again last night. Kid had a bright future, but these injuries are not a good sign.
 
Ian Rapoport ‏@RapSheet
#Rams QB Sam Bradford is believed to have torn his ACL and is out for the season, source says. (As @mortreport said)
 
Kaepernick was awful today. He needs to get his act together by the beginning of hte season. There are no excuses for him...he must have a big year.

Otherwise, not sure if you guys watched at all but Aaron Lynch looks like an absolute steal. Dropped because of the usual football reasons but the guy is a freak. Early returns on the 2014 draft in preseason are positive. Hope that translates.
 
Kirk Cousins may not be very good, but he may also be better than RGMe right now.
BRB Robert's daddy is calling me as I'm typing this.. So sensitive.
 
I don't get this whole movement now of knocking RG3. The guy is insanely talented but should never have played a snap in the first half of last year. Just like Kap he needs to become a more polished pocket passer but to suggest playing Cousins instead of RG3 is just insane to me.

But, Cousins played well in the 2nd half of a preseason game!
 
Don't get me wrong. I think Cousins has ability. Ability that should have been capitalized on last year and flipped him for picks this past offseason but you just can't play him when RG3's ceiling is much higher.

Hes worth more as a backup unless someone is dumb and offers a 2nd rounder or better. Could probably only start for a handful of teams.
 
Not sure why the first team offense has looked like poop. My only hope is that Harbaugh and company are trying to keep things very simple and not show their hand. That may be the case somewhat, but there hasn't been any continuity save for maybe two possessions.

Its been awful. But, I feel really good about the overall talent level on the team. The offensive line is a big worry though. A lot is being made of Boones absence but the right side of the line has been good even without Anthony Davis. Its been Iupati who has been absolute garbage. Hopefully he is still just recovering from his injury last year. If we could get some solid line play the team will win 12 games minimum. The defensive talent is sick this year IMO.
 
Why does everyone love Cousins? He was a 4th round pick that has proven nothing, other than he can play well in preseason games. He's the next Rex Grossman as far as I'm concerned. RG3 has looked bad and if he has a bad year then I would have no problem looking for another QB but I'm not going to judge him on preseason games. He has no excuses, there is a lot of talent around him and he has to perform but that's not until week 1. These games are meaningless.
