NFL Season 2015/2016

[Capper]

Benjamin tore his ACL

Definitely helps out the Falcons' playoff chances. Only Olsen is a threat on the Panthers' offense now, they'll need that defence to do all the lifting - luckily they have the #2 defensive guy in the league playing for them then.

JJ Watt, Earl Thomas, Darelle Revis, Richard Sherman, Von Miller, Justin Houston.. I could go on.. None of them play for Carolina  ???

Kuechly has had 473 flowering tackles in 3 seasons. Forget about his 6 sacks and 7 picks. He was the #1 tackler in 2014, #4 in 2013 (a DPOTY year), and #1 in 2012 - his rookie year. Best tackling mike, best coverage mike, best run D mike. I've had Willis and Bowman on my side, Kuechly is far better than both of them. From current players I'd only rank Mosley, Clay, and Wagner near Kuechly (I project Alonso to join this group sooner rather than later).

1. Watt
2. Kuechly
3. Weddle
4. Houston
5. Smith
6. Harris Jr
7. Sherman
8. Thomas
9. Donald
10. Revis/Suh/Clay/Quinn/Quin/Miller

I was in a league with an IDP and Kuechly and Watt went in R11 and no other IDP was taken till after R13. I took LEvy and was happy with his output

Gold. If only Kaep was as good at playing quarterback as he is at acting.

Vintage Tim Tebow

[Mat0369]

He didn't do his spin move while no one was near him before turning into the defender. I haven't seen the game or scores. I will check it out tonight when I get home from our game vs the Dees

[Jukes]

Tannehill 12/15 102 yards 1/0, 1 rush for 11 yards
Newton 4/10 42 yards 0/1, 1 rush for 0 yards

Do people still believe Tannehill isn't very good while Newton is shower-tier?

Back-ups better than Newton: Anderson, Clemens, Daniel, Flynn, Garoppolo, Glennon, Grayson, Griffin, Hasselbeck, Hill, McCown, McCoy, Mettenberger, Nassib, Osweiler, Petty, Sanchez, Schaub, Stanton, Taylor, Tebow, Tuel.

None of the Panthers' current wideouts would start on most NFL teams, pretty unfair to judge him against Tannehill who has Jennings, Landry, Stills and Cameron. Rishard Matthews and Dion Sims are serviceable too. The Dolphins' O-Line is better too
I know all those guys didn't play this one game but over the season it should be obvious that Tannehill will put up better stats so its a bit tough to empirically say Cam is around the 50th best QB in the league

[Jay]

Newton is incredible. Does a lot with very little help around him.

Put him on the Dolphins and they'd go 11-5.

[Mat0369]

That list is a joke, especially when Teblow is on it.

Cam isn't that super though, he doesn't have weapons, but he misses high and often. It is a reason they went for Benjamin and have gone with tall receivers, it gives them a better chance of catching his misfires. It will be interesting to see how Funchess goes this year with Cam. Boykin is the other, he put up some decent numbers a couple of seasons ago in a stretch of games, he might be an interesting possession receiver in that offense if Cam can keep em low

[Jukes]

The list was ironic (although I would prefer half a dozen of them to scam), but Tannehill is a lot better than that hack. You could have Jordy, Dez, Brown, Beckham, and Gronk but that won't stop him completely missing receivers.

Olsen is a top 5 TE in the league, his stats just don't always reflect that because he has an awful QB throwing it to him.

Derek Anderson threw for 700 yards at 67%, 5 TDs 0 Ints and 7.2 yards/pass at a 105.2 passer rating last season for the exact same team

[Mat0369]

I don't think this is a coincidence, but a huge reason for Tannehill's improvement is Bill Lazor. He was the QB coach and worked with Foles, when Lazor went over to the Dolphins Foles footwork seriously regressed. I actually drafted Tannehill in my FF league last season for this reason (and cut him early for Kirk Cousins which was stupid). He excels in those short to intermediate routes which pissed off Mike Wallace to no end but it keeps the chains moving. If they can add the deep ball he might have a pro bowl season. But if you were to put Tannehill in the situation that Cam is in now I don't think he will be going to well either.

Jordy Nelson has a knee injury. Waiting on scans, but there's fears of an ACL :-[

[Jay]

The Hayne Train is playing great today. Definitely see him making the team.

[Jukes]

Placing myself on suicide watch brb


At least Hayne's on track to win MVP

[Jukes]

I'll keep the packers as my tip for SB champs, though. Their WR depth is deep - Cobb, Adams, Abbrederis (when fit - had 1000 yards and 9 TDs as a senior for the Badgers), Janis, and Montgomery are all good players.
