The Dude Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Allow me to repeat myself for those whose need to fire off scorching hot takes impacts their ability to actually read. Cobb is the speedy 5'10 wide receiver that every team has. Hey, HEY. Cobb played QB at Kentucky. Aaron Rodgers essentially has Tim Couch at WR1 and James Jones at WR2 (though it may actually be Greg Jennings there, but no one really knows). I really hate defending Rodgers so much. Green Bay people are one step away from becoming unbearable St. Louis Cardinals fans. Also, the Rodgers "belt" celebration is one of the worst things in sports. And he doesn't deserve Olivia Munn. The guy who I would LOVE to see with Rodgers is Antonio Brown. I think those two would mind-meld into some kind of sci-fi creation. Brown would literally average 15-20 catches a game with Rodgers. Roethlisberger absorbs 3-4 sacks a game he should probably avoid, and noodles in the pocket too long. Rodgers would quickly dump it off to Antonio Brown every down.

For whatever reason, maybe the State Farm commercials, I don't mind the celebration. And don't worry, I don't think he "has" Olivia Munn. Heh. That's another story, though.

NoVaSkins21 Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Rodgers is so good that it's fun and depressing to watch at the same time. I'm very jealous of Packer fans for having him, but the guy is so entertaining to watch. Aside from obvious physical talent, the one trait that all the great players from all sports share is their ability to slow the game down in their minds. Rodgers is so mentally dialed in that he always appears to be a step ahead of the defense, he never panics and it looks like he's seeing things in slow motion out there. Rodgers is so smart at reading and manipulating defenses. The intentional offsides that he gets with his cadence is a perfect example of that. He did it twice on Monday night and got a 1 TD. Brady is just as smart as reading defenses when he runs the his hurry up offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stefanskins Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Hey, my dad calls me that. anyway, speaking to your McCarthy point, watching Rogers makes a football fan think about a lot of things ... he is amazing..its like having steve youngs legs, dan marinos arm and almost montana's awareness... montana, in my opinion, is still the greatest QB ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as he stays away from Olivia Wilde, I got no probs with him. He goes there and he'll find a cheesehat inserted somewhere he doesn't want! Rodgers is so smart at reading and manipulating defenses. The intentional offsides that he gets with his cadence is a perfect example of that. He did it twice on Monday night and got a 1 TD. Brady is just as smart as reading defenses when he runs the his hurry up offense. That's what makes him, Brady, and a handful of other players in the league special. Darrell Green used to do the same thing; they study their asses off, their opponents, their weaknesses, etc. They know what a certain player will do in a certain situation before they're in it. And defenses give them a huge amount of respect; maybe not in the first couple of games so much, but as the season goes and they begin their QB class on defenses, its almost impossible to stop them.

Riggo-toni Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Does anyone really have a porn stash hidden anymore? I thought the Internet was just one big porn stash... Ha. Reminds me of a comedian who talked about watching some guy buy a dirty mag at an airport and saying "if you get seen buying a porno mag, you might as well put a sign on your head that says 'I'm just too dumb to know how to use the Internet.' " Wait, Rodgers is banging Olivia Munn? DAMMIT - that's my babe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Going Commando Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 We drafted Carlos Rodgers ahead of cant think of his name but DE for the boys and now Broncos Really?

Lombardi's_kid_brother Posted October 1, 2015 Author Share Posted October 1, 2015 No. And Jackson are Garcon are very good, but Nelson and Cobb are better. Their depth is much better than ours. Jones is like Deion Branch, he has a rapport with Rodgers that probably makes him more valuable in GB than anywhere else right now, but that doesn't make him a bad player who Rodgers makes look good. Jones is terrible. Why is it so hard to accept that luck is maybe the most important thing in pro sports? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is entirely possible that the Redskins will never be good. Ever. "Rebuilding" implies we are building towards something and better days are ahead When in fact, it very well could just be and endless cycle of the occasional pro bowler here, and the occasional pro bowler there, and a "breakthrough" 9-7 season occasionally that gets everyone excited. That's the modern NFL. Luck out on your QB. The end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(My memory is fuzzy in my old age). I look at that history a little differently. I knew from about week 5 in his rookie year (around the time of the concussion against Atlanta) that it wasn't sustainable. I might not have wanted to admit it, but I knew. Just a matter of time... and then there went the knee. I look at guys like Tony Romo and Russell Wilson, and the control they have over their body in open space and their ability to mitigate contact, and I think they might well play until they are 45.

Romo is strange in that he either never gets hit or he gets hit in the most awkward manner possible. Here is a question: Why has Roethlisberger not been more influential? Granted, the number of athletic 6'5 guys who can read a defense is probably limited. But #1 thing any NFL team has to do to succeed is keep their QB healthy. And Roethlisberger can absorb hits like a super heavyweight. Did you see that injury he had on Sunday? RGIII's shin bone would have landed in front of Jeff Fisher if that happened to him. I expect Roethlisberger to be back by Halloween. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect Roethlisberger to be back by Halloween. Ben Roethisberger is as big as half the guys rushing him. And he's thick. He's listed at 241 - he's probably closer to 260. Brandon Sherff played quarterback in high school. Maybe the Redskins should put him on the South Beach diet for a month this offseason and then try him behind center.

That feeling is absolutely grounded in reality. Only the hardest of the core still feel the need too pretend that this organization hasn't been a dysfunctional mess since Snyder took over. 30 years from now when we're once again finishing last in the division, the few remaining deniers who are unfortunate enough to still be alive will be saying how it's just a matter of time, how we're on the right track this time, how Dan is learning, how they can't wait until we're good so we can stick it to the media, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovemaskins Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I watched A-Aron play in a bowl game against VT when he was at Cal, and he was mediocre. Never would have guessed he would be the player like he is today. In fairness he got the luxury to sit and learn and to get in NFL shape before he was thrown in there.

mcsluggo Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 I would do away with Thursday games that do no take place on Thanksgiving altogether. They are almost uniformly bad.

50yrSKINSfan Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 When I look back at the Redskins since I was a fan I just think all the good QBs we have had were not drafted by us. Sonny, Joe T, etc. Lets face it, some of the best QBs now playing were just lucky picks, Rodgers, Brady, Romo. Sure, Luck was a lock but guys like him only come around once every 10 yrs. You have to be be very lucky to get a francise QB in the draft. Why not try and get a guy like Palmer until your guy shows up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcsluggo Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 had they been picking higher in the draft that year, they would have passed on Rodgers as well. A small part of me thinks, however, that his years on the bench behind Favre and the patience shown to him by the Packers has played a big part in where he is now. However, patience is not owed any starting QB. Patience is earned. Rodgers showed enough in those early years to earn patience. Actually.. wasn;t it that Rogers did NOT show enough in those first 2 years to get people all antsy to get his ass on the field (so he COULD develop) --- and GB had a golden boy/hall of famer/uuber popular QB in front of him-- and then in year 3 GB management saw enough in doe-eyed aaron to make the TOUGH decision (and at teh time pretty unpopular decision) to decide to throw Frarvrevre under the bus (where he became the hated villain that he is now, even before he texted dickpix to all the GB fans' wives) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
