2011 NFL Thread: The Lazarus Season - Part 7

[enterthemadness]

I love Kurt Warner's interviews. He makes it all about himself. Donovan is trying to get a word in and he just can't.

Warner knows hes in HOF.

You know who misses Warner? Arizona.

And with that interception, so goes Andy Reid's career in Philadelphia. Furthermore, Vince Young has shown that he is still the same old Vince Young. He will never be a starter in the NFL again.

That throw was idiotic.

Rolando McClain just ****ed himself over big time...He should get jail time and Goodell should suspend him for a year.

Oakland Raiders linebacker Rolando McClain was arrested Thursday on misdemeanor assault, firearms and other charges after police said he fired a gun during a fight in his Alabama hometown.

McClain, 22, held a gun beside a man's head during an altercation and the man begged him not to shoot, according to a statement released by Lt. John Crouch of the Decatur Police Department.


McClain, an All American at Alabama during his junior year, moved the gun but fired a round beside the man's ear, according to the statement. No one was shot, but police said a man who was injured in the altercation drove himself to a hospital, where he was treated and released.

McClain was released on $2,000 bond. He faces charges of assault, menacing, reckless endangerment and firing a gun inside the city limits. Another man identified as Jerradius Willingham, 23, was charged with assault and released after posting a $500 bond.

Vince Young never had the brain to be an NFL quarterback. It may be disrespectful to say, but it is also true. There is a reason his combine IQ test was so damn low. He just isn't smart enough for the position and his dumb throws show it.

Oh yeah, the Hammer is definitely going to crack down on this. It'll be like Plaxico. He won't play again until the legal troubles are settled and then until after he serves his time. We won't be seeing McClain for a couple of years, probably.

We will see a NWA.tv news parody though....

He should be cut from this weekends game

 

[Holiday]

He's was in town for his grandfather's funeral and got involved in this mess. What a damn fool. Also,

 

[Mister J]

What the hell is wrong with some of these guys?

 

[Rowsdower!]

Wow... just... wow, Philly.

From the "Dream Team" to the "Nightmare Team" to the laughing stock of the NFL. Reid definitely deserves to be fired after this season. When you sign that much talent and can't win games, the blame has to fall on the coach.

In the meantime Eagles... umm... I hear McNabb is available now.

 

[Rowsdower!]

A few more nicknames for this week:

Vince Dung

Troy "Non-Factor" Polamalu

DeSean "Fraction (of the player he used to be)" Jackson

Riley "Who?" Cooper

Marshawn "Still Running People Over" Lynch

Dan "Winless Team Veteran" Orlovsky

Darren McFading

Jettison McNabb

Jake "Last Resort" Delhomme

Peyton Mending

Philadelphia "The New Redskins" Eagles

 

[Duke]

After today's disastrous game for the Eagles, I feel they'll be wanting Andy Reid run out town very soon.

I don't think it has anything to do with his intelligence to comprehend NFL schemes or whatever. That's like saying it's impossible for him to understand certain concepts in math or learning a language. That just takes time and dedication.

And the Wonderlic test you are referring to doesn't measure a person's IQ. Even if it did it wouldn't equate to a person becoming a good football player. There are tons of players that have scored low on that stupid test like Young did and still had productive, even Hall of Fame NFL careers. And there are those that aced that test and were out of the league quickly because they just weren't good at the sport. Even those that were quick learners and focused at their craft.

The issues surrounding Young were his instincts (which some guys seem to have and others don't, or it takes a long time to get those instincts to be an effective quarterback), dedication, and attitude. I suppose since he's a quarterback you can throw accuracy in there too. He's never really had it. We've seen this. Or rather, it hasn't been consistent. Maybe if he had a better attitude about how his career has gone, maybe like Tim Tebow, he'd be in a better situation or still in Tennessee at least. Based on what has just been heard and said, I think Young kind of dug his own grave.

EDIT: Nevermind.

 

[marvelman2006]

I dont know how Andy Reid keeps his job, I knew this was gonna be a bad year for the eagles when the eagles "bought" all in with all the talent they brought in. I cant blame reid for injuries but did they think with vicks style of play he would be worth $100 million dollars and play all 16 games?

He did the right thing, he didnt blow up on anyone or throw punches or pull a ryan leaf he just ask them to stop asking questions not pertaining to the game, who cares if hes talking to his defense during pregame. Sometimes the media just goes over bored with these players and asking questions trying to get some sort of agressive response to make headlines. Sickening sometimes how "reporters" focus on crap that has nothing to do with the game and I look to derek anderson last year when the reporter didnt let go of him laughing with a teammate.

JaMarcus Russel is talking football & he says he's ready to make his mark on the game:

First the Swashbucklers, then the Russell Era begins again in the NFL. All Hail the King.

 

[Immortalfire]

I'd say he's already made his mark. Granted, said mark is being the worst of all time, but it is a mark.

 

[Genesis 1.0]

We weren't worthy of witnessing the Greatness of JaMarcus. You'll tell your grandchildren that YOU were there when the Greatest QB of All Time graced the game with his monumental presence for a 2nd time. The NFL will never be the same again.

Football Rapture FTW.

Does his "mark" involve a barbeque sauce stain?

He's playing his way out of Philadelphia. I find it unlikely they are going to resign him.

He wont be on the market long, I see patriots, ravens, dolphins, jags, jets, redskins interested in him the most. Hell mainly be targeted for his return abilities and speed as a reciever second.
