Blue Train Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 When you have the cap space they have....you don't cut a player at such an important position to save just $500,000 or less....and they already cut a long-snapper that was also competing with Jennings. Also, they didn't become relevant again until Harbaugh & Trent Baalke took over. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BhVMS-rqVMQ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yesterday's Wall Street Journal reported that since 1950, there has never been an undrafted rookie quarterback who started his team's regular season opener in his first year out of college. On Monday, the Buffalo Bills announced that they plan to start undrafted rookie Jeff Tuel in their Week 1 game against New England. They were never going to be that good anyway. On the positive side. It puts them in the Jadeveon Clowney hunt. If they didn't overreach for Manuel; they might have been in the hunt for Bridgewater, or Boyd next year. The Bills would be good team with the right QB. That's the only thing they're missing on the offensive side of the ball. So to say they were never going to be that good anyway is not a correct statement. Jim McMahon is beginning to suffer from dementia. http://www.foxnews.com/sports/2013/08/31/mcmahon-opens-up-about-dementia/?intcmp=obnetwork Actually, he's not beginning to. He's been dealing with it for years. He first came out about it last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 No, Elway wasn't a very good QB early on in his career. That said, QB rating is biggest joke category ever devised for sports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Dolan Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Actually, I think many baseball stats are sound, and useful. It's the religious nature that they're adhered to that turns me off. I don't care how many explain, and in how many different ways, WAR is a farce.

PHILLYQ Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 No, Elway wasn't a very good QB early on in his career.That said, QB rating is biggest joke category ever devised for sports.Followed closely by '3rd down efficiency'. Lumping every third down together and going with the average is, IMHO, just absurd. There's a huge difference between 3rd and inches and 3rd and 10, so to lump them all together muddies what could be a good stat. No one yet has found a correlation between making third downs and winning games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 (edited) I will suggest that QB passing yardage is an inaccurate stat, too. The ball isn't measured in distance thrown but rather in where the player who catches it ends up. Yards after the catch makes more sense.

This was total bullshit: How come the 49ers still had 3rd down after that play instead of 4th down??? Officiating error - that's why. Offsetting penalties - you don't replay the down. Poetic justice. Besides, the Niners would have gone for it again anyway. And let's be honest here. The only reason there were off-setting penalties was because Matthews started up a fight with Staley. He was trying to make that happen so he wouldn't get what he deserved.. Besides, Staley never committed a penalty. Matthews slapped him. And I quote: A league spokesman told USA TODAY Sports on Monday that Dean Blandino, the NFL's vice president of officiating, has determined 49ers left tackle Joe Staley "should not have been penalized" for entering the scrum and grabbing Clay Matthews after the Packers linebacker hit Niners quarterback Colin Kaepernick out of bounds. Source: http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/49ers/2013/09/09/joe-staley-officiating-error-clay-matthews/2787299/ Ref's screwed that one, too.
