2015 NFL Thread: More of Matt Moore!

[DarthSkywalker]

Rex has already figured out a way to make the Bills even more embarrassing. First Incognito, not this jerk? Can't make it up.

Buzz around NFL's attempt to make LA popular for football, it's looking like the Raiders and Chargers as the front runners to have a shared stadium.

Report: Jets Reach Out to Rex Grossman

I'm disappointed in this thread. There's a Rex Grossman mention and no one has posted this yet:

For shame.

I've heard it's still pretty even and NFL owners haven't made a decision yet.

From reports:

St Louis are going to use $500 million of public funds to cover half the cost of the new stadium.
San Diego only offering $300 million to cover $1.1 billion
Oakland isn't making any offer.

So at least Oakland and unless San Diego is ponying up more than St. Louis....

Because politics in this God forsaken town are awful and holding this **** up.

The new race in football isn't for a championship, it's who can out-stadium each other.

 

[TheBat812]

Football stadiums taking public money to finance stadiums when statistics say that areas actually see a decrease in revenue in those areas during game days, is disgusting. Unless the stadiums themselves are giving back some of the revenue they make during games to their cities, they really need to stop this practice.

My big question regarding Geno Smith:

Why is NO ONE in the sports media blaming Todd Bowles? Everyone keeps talking about lack of leadership from Geno Smith, a quarterback who has two years in the league. Why is no one talking about the lack of leadership from the HEAD COACH!? What type of locker room is he running? And before people say he couldn't have anticipated this, it wasn't an isolated incident. Reports are indicating that Smith and IK had fought over this same thing more than once. Yet this nonsense was allowed to continue in Todd Bowles's locker room?

IMO, this incident is not an indictment on Smith. It is an indictment on a rookie head coach who inherited a chaotic team and is now in over his head. And that means things are only going to get worse for the Jets.

 

[Erzengel]

Well according to what former NFL players and media analysts are saying, for the most part, the Head Coach doesn't have that much control in terms of the locker room. They are saying the players police themselves, and veteran leadership is used to ring in problem players/trouble makers. And with everything I hear and read about the Jets, not just this year but for the past few years, there isn't that type of leadership on this team.

 

[Immortalfire]

Jets being the Jets.

Which is precisely why they don't need another "player's coach," like Rex Ryan was. Do you think this would happen on a Belichick team or a Coughlin team? I know people say that such methods are dying, but I disagree. It is working in Cleveland. They were crazy undisciplined two years ago. But Mike Pettine is instilling discipline and there have been noticeable improvements as a result. If the players buy in, this type of coaching method works. I'd argue its needed to turn such a dysfunctional bunch around. If Bowles can't do that, someone else needs to.

 

[MrMaooz]

The Jets will always amaze us, won't they?

 

[Immortalfire]

If they had Matt Moore, this wouldn't have happened.

 

[Warhammer]

The greatness of the NFL off-season never disappoints.

The Cam Newton fight got one-upped to the nth degree by this Geno Smith fight. And just when I felt sorry for the Jets for not catching a break, they actually try to reach out to Rex Grossman? And to make things even more fun, Rex Ryan has the gull to hire IK the next day after he breaks his quarterback's jaw? And Doug Whaley let this happen?



And man, I really feel for EJ Manuel. That dude got screwed over the moment he got there. I think Marrone f***ed him up.

 

[DoomsdayApex]

I'm surprised that the Cam-Norman scuffle got this much attention. Oh, wait. No, I'm not. Cam Newton is the Devil. A Thug. Fake. Immature. A bust... according to ESPN.

Whatevs. Thank you, Geno! Your broken jaw has put our training camp "drama" into perspective. Whenever Cam is crucified by the media, you, the Kaeperdicks, and the RG3s of the NFL save our bacon.

So there's a distinct possibility that Oakland will lose all three of their pro sports teams.

Speaking of St. Louis, I am curious to see what happens if Denver goes for sale. Does Kroenke try to sell the Rams in order to bid for the Broncos? Would he give up his stadium plans in Los Angeles if that were to ever happen?

 

[Venom'sDad]

What two other teams does Kroenke owns?

What I meant was that former players saying that ANY head coach really doesn't have control in the locker room. And that's when you had veteran leadership to handle issues. But even as a Giants fan, I've heard just this year there was scuffles on the field, that's where I expect the Head Coach to take charge and read them the riot act.

I don't find Geno Smith to be blameless in all this, his self unawareness on and off the field seems to show he hasn't learned much since college where someone of his "draft" caliper wasn't even seen as a leader. Which is why I'm guessing his draft stock fell.

And in defense of the Jets, he's not Bowle's guy or Idzik's guy. Could they try and reel him in? Possibly. But this guy is in his 3rd year. He's not a rookie.

I have a feeling with this issue, and depending on how the Jets finish this year, we'll see them reach for a new QB next year.

 

[STARMAN]

I'm a Jet fan. I put this on Smith. Not Bowles.

We also lost Sheldon Richardson with his off the field issues.

Wow, I had forgotten Sheldon.

I don't know what would happen if the Broncos went up for sale. There has been talk here in St. Louis about the Rams moving to LA and then the Jaguars moving here to take their place.

What two other teams does Kroenke owns?

I believe he owns both the Colorado Avalanche and the Denver Nuggets (someone correct me if I am wrong). He also owns Arsenal of the EPL.
