The Gipper Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 And Drew Brees facing surgery.....out at least 6 weeks or more. https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/article_890d70f8-d819-11e9-88e7-f75c97b6cc47.html The "Old' guys are biting the dust. BR, Brees. After another couple of weeks at best Eli likely to be benched if he does not get hurt first. So...should we expect Rivers and Brady to suffer similarly? (see my recent thread about this year possibly being a changing of the guard year) And don't forget that Nick Foles is out at least 2 months: https://www.jaguars.com/news/nick-foles-placed-on-injured-reserve Has anyone else lost there starting QB? Edit....Oh, yea....the Jets! How long is Darnold supposed to be out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to make it even more depressing, the kid looked good, real good when Ben went out. I watched the entire game, and the interception was on a butterfingers receiver.

Let's put it this way.....there is no guarantee that he won't be worse than the likes of Darnold, Allen, Rosen, or Jackson. I hope he is...but who can tell at this point.

Correct me if I am wrong....but other than Brees, were not the injuries to BR, (elbow), Darnold (mono)....non contact? And how about Foles. But, yea, essentially Brady would have to injure himself...the refs/the league won't let you breathe on him. And like I said, BR was non contact, no?

He got tackled earlier in the game, but he landed on his left elbow. He was definitely having trouble before he tried that 30+ yard pass to Ju-Ju. Can't wait for our pal Vag to show up with his slanted commentary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gipper Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 And what is happening with James Conner? Haven't heard results yet: https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/steelers-james-conner-getting-tests-on-knee/ So....maybe the Steelers, along with the Dolphins can go into "tank" mode. Not sure if this will change their thinking on Rudolph...or if they want to tank for Tua (why for him? no idea.....I do not believe he will be the best QB coming out). In a year from now....for Trevor Lawrence....sure. But not Tua. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Gipper Posted September 16, 2019 Report Share Posted September 16, 2019 Lets put it this way.....this/these developments obviously SHOULD benefit the Browns. We now have to face an unproven, unplayed but for a few snaps, 2d year QB....vs. a proven HOF caliber QB. (plus the status of their starting RB is up in the air). But the Browns obviously have to perform. And people are gloating somewhat over the Ratfuckers......but remember,...they probably started out the season playing the two worst teams....by far....in the league. And they only pulled out a squeaker vs. AZ. They still lost the heart and soul of their defense (Suggs and Mosley).....so we shall see how good they are when they face stiffer opposition. They do still have...to my mind, the best and most proven HC in the division (yes, over Tomlin), which helps them. Also...figure this out now: It will be Oklahoma vs. OK St. when the Browns play the Spermsuckers this year. And here were the stats from the game their last year against each other....a 62-52 OK win: Passing Passing Player School Cmp Att Pct Yds Y/A AY/A TD Int Rate Baker Mayfield Oklahoma 24 36 66.7 598 16.6 16.9 5 2 240.9 Passing Player School Cmp Att Pct Yds Y/A AY/A TD Int Rate Mason Rudolph Oklahoma State 28 54 51.9 448 8.3 8.5 5 2 144.7 Needless to say.....these guys are in the NFL now...and will NOT be playing Big 12 defenses.

And as I noted earlier, before the draft last year, I had Rudolph as the possible equal to Rosen/Allen/Darnold. So, we shall see. Is this a guy yinzers expect to be a long term solution? Or are you anticipating going into tank mode for someone else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly- I don't wish injury or a wear and tear breakdown on anyone. I'm suspecting that's the case with Ben- NFLN mentioned Rudolph saying Ben was having issues with the elbow after the Patriots game. I will be POed though Vag if the Steelers managed to pull yet another rabbit out of the their hat with Rudolph. I already said he looked really good after Ben went out. As to Ben retiring- if it's a Tommy John issue with the elbow- well could be the end of the line. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
