2007 NFL Thread

[Memphis Slim]

As I edited my post above to say - if I was a coach concerned with nothing more then next year. Ben would be my guy.

Rex can read a defense, he is simply right now a bit impatient and he just now has the experience of reading defenses in full speed. Give him 2 years and Grossman will be the best QB in the NFC North.

If Rex doesn't start doing what it takes to learn what an NFL QB needs to do, he will continue his slide. He does not prepare nearly enough. Physically, he's behind most. He's short and even has baby fat. So he better get on the stick. Natural talent can only get you so far. He got to prepare.....and then prepare some more.

That's how Manning does it. Hours of film........hours of snaps.....hours of drills.......asking advice of other great QB's......foot work training.........wet football drills.........sounds crazy?? Maybe. But Rex needs it.

Let's face it. He had some sparks here and there. But his "team" got him to the big dance. He couldn't carry the team on his back. But if he keeps working like he should, he'll be there.

Over Daunte? Are you kidding me?

Fran needs to consider making a season long pick 'em pool

[Byrd Man]

Hell yeah


Um...do I have to list my team?

Damnit, good idea!

Anyone have thoughts?

Possibly submit me records, season MVP, ROYs, etc.

Jesus, no.

I loved the postseason pool, but once you start making picks and predictions for every little detail, it gets really friggin' tiresome.

But a Super Bowl pick'em just before the season starts? That'd be fun.

True, but just doing this:
1) Favorite team's record
2) Standing in division
3) Playoffs or not
4) Regular season MVP
5) O/D Rookies of Year

Ain't so bad. And it would last from September to January.

 

[Showtime]

I want in on all of it...sounds like fun.

 

[Fran]

It could be a points system as well.

Oh, alright....

But we should wait until September....which is a really long friggin' wait.

 

[Showtime]

Damn, it is a long wait.

Yeah, probably right after pre-season, I'll get it going.

I thought more like a weekly pool. I've done it on Yahoo the past couple of years, and it's pretty cool. We've had a pick 'em thread, but it's not really a contest. This new one could be

 

[Fran]

I don't know about that... seventeen regular season weeks, all games picked?

PLUS the playoffs?

 

[Immortalfire]

You got it

THIS is the best idea.
1) Won't take long to update/calculate weekly
2) Isn't a hassle as much as around 22 weeks would be.

I like it. Just some general regular season predictions. Towards late December, we can have our own versions of those "Get Your Story Straight" commercials the NFL runs, highlighting pre-season predictions that look ridiculous in the wake of what actually transpired throughout the season.

That is, of course, unless my predictions are totally inaccurate. In which case, the whole experiment shall not be mentioned.

Btw, thanx for doing the Playoffs Pool. It was a lot of fun.

"Raiders....this is our year baby! JaMarcus Russelll will lead the team to an undefeated season."

Maybe will all look back at this and laugh. Or maybe you'll **** you pants when you see I was right.

Shu....



Nah, I won't.
