His lack of maturity may be the biggest hindrance to him becoming a good QB.

Yeah, he can’t read defenses worth a lick but many college QB’s come into the league with that problem. There are a lot of gimmicky offenses used in college these days in which reading defenses isn’t a priority. That can be learned. It’s just a matter of studying film, taking instruction from coaches and practice.

But maturity is different. Seems like most of the players that lack it coming into the league never get it.

It appears that the only recourse a defense has now is not to let the QB make accurate throws by either getting tremendous pressure or knocking him out of the game somehow. I wonder how that will affect defenses that have better secondaries than DLs. You’d think they will have a harder time.

There could be an unintended and unwanted consequence of this rule change. If getting pressure on the QB becomes even more important then you will see more blitzing which will result in QB’s getting hit more which could lead to more QB injuries.

But! Earlier in the same monologue, Quill tells Drax that Gamorra’s violence didn’t bother him, and lists the women who have assaulted him. He points to one scar and says “see that? I got that from a smoking hot Rayjack girl who stabbed me with a fork.”

Hmm, very observant of you. Perhaps Drax just took what he said at face value and therefore thought that Quill was stabbed by a woman whose temperature was so high she was smoking.

Are they actual ravens – or are they crows? There’s a difference, you know…

When I saw the title of your post, “Watkins vs Robinson” I thought you going to try to compare Rok Watkins to Greg Robinson for some reason…as if the two were comparable.

I was all set to trample your post into the muck like a herd of stampeding tapirs.

But I see I was mistaken. You were actually talking about Sammy Watkins, not Rok Watkins.

So now I look like the fool.

Well played.

I guess you think you’re pretty smart with your fancy Morgantown education, dontcha’ Mr. Sassypants.

I think I remember the game you’re thinking of but Dickerson’s first regukar season game was against the Giants. He had a pretty average day statistically – 31 carries for 91 yds, long of 24 yds, no TDs.

I think Sunlife Stadium being under water could give the Dolphins an unfair homefield advantage. Hopefully the league has already thought of that and has a contingency.

Well, I don’t consider Bradford a gamble at all. I think this season will finally put an end to the media’s ‘wondering’ about the abilities of Sam Bradford.

I have a book called “The Pinball Effect” written by James Burke, the host of “Connections 2”. It’s very much like the TV show.

Nah, they can do better than 9. I’m not saying they will, but they can. I don’t think 9 wins would get them into the playoffs anyway. I’m not even sure 9 wins keeps them out of last place so why settle for an improved but still sorta mediocre record when there is a chance for much more?

Well, first of all “8” isn’t a prime number and if they can’t even get that simple concept correct how can we take anything else they have to say seriously? 😉

Seriously though, nothing was said about Bradford that was incorrect per se, except when the host said something about Bradford ‘regressing since his rookie year’, which only means the host is merely a talking head and doesn’t actually pay attention.

Florio noted Sam was playing really well up until his injury. However, he brought up that unsupportable hypothesis that the Rams probably would have traded Sam if they could hvae gotten something for him. It’s just that no one was willing to make a trade for an expensive QB coming off an ACL injury…

People keep saying this, despite no evidence supporting it. In fact, Snead and Fisher have stated countless times that Bradford was “their” QB. Fisher even says he came to the Rams BECAUSE of Sam Bradford. Now I’m not saying there is no possible scenario in which the Rams would have traded Bradford, I’m just tired of people speculating that the Rams wanted to trade Bradford without any proof.

The Rams are obviously improved and have gained ground on the rest of the NFC West but it will still be a tough challenge to finish above 4th place. However, I think all 4 NFC West teams will rank among the top 12 – 15 teams in the NFL.
