If Prescott can stretch the field enough to give Zeke running room, Dallas can still win. However, their defense still sucks.
Right now I lean Washington to win that division. Philly will suck and I don't trust Eli.

Re: NFL
Dallas's season is riding heavily on two rookies leading their offense. That seems awfully shaky.

Photos of Kaepernick wearing socks in practice that appear to depict policemen as cartoon pigs came to light Thursday. According to multiple reports, the quarterback wore the socks during multiple offseason practices.

Re: NFL
As expected...
For his entire career at Penn State all we've heard about, here in B10 country, is how awesome Hackenberg is and how he's a first rounder. We always laughed as the announcers praised him as he went 15 for 40 or got sacked 8 times in a game or whatever other disasters he was responsible for or dealt with. We also heard for all those years how his offensive line let him down and his receivers let him down and his coaches let him down, and blah, blah, blah. This kid was all hype. Even during his first, and best, year he didn't do shit.
A wasted pick.

Re: NFL
I was expecting something stupid like this. I wasn't expecting them to smear their assholes with Vaseline, throw them down on the negotiating table, and pick up a dude that makes Victor Cruz look like Lou Gehrig. Least I've seen Bradford make a pass or two. I was dreading a possible deal for Kaep. There are all kinds of other QBs to snake, though: Brian Hoyer, EJ Manuel, Colt McCoy, Mike Glennon. Shit, I'd take Ryan Mallet over Bradford. This isn't a franchise trade, this is a duct tape trade. Go for a duct tape replacement.Leisher wrote:Bradford to Vikings.

Kaep's #1. Well, his jersey.
That's an image of a normal knee with things nicely labeled. Here's an x-ray of one, too, from the side.
I'm not cruel enough to show an image of a knee with Teddy's sort of hurt, but here's an x-ray representative of it:
Bridgewater is hurt worse than your average ligament tear.As of Friday, Kaepernick’s jersey had risen to become the third most popular jersey in the 49ers’ online store. As of Saturday afternoon, however, it had risen further to become the top-selling jersey overall in the team shop, ahead of the likes of Jerry Rice, Joe Montana, NaVorro Bowman, and the customizable jerseys.

So freedom of speech only counts when it's something that doesn't piss off the cops. Got it. How hard is it to get some hats, shirts, etc. printed up with a giant douche with an afro wearing a 49ers jersey that says "BACKUP TO BLAINE GABBERT?"The letter concludes by saying officers may choose not to work 49ers games because of Kaepernick’s statements, adding that police officers “have the right to do their job in an environment free of unjustified and insulting attacks from employees of your organization.”

The Cowboys apparently ran afoul of the rules on Saturday, announcing that quarterback Mark Sanchez had been signed before Sanchez technically could be. The move means that, beyond signing Sanchez prematurely, the Cowboys had reached a verbal agreement prematurely with Sanchez — and that the Cowboys necessarily had been talking to Sanchez prematurely.

Re: NFL
Goff is starting ... the season out of uniform.
1) He's looked horrible during the few drives he's, uh ... led/been dragged on.
2) You sold a large stake in your future draft picks to get #1 and you picked Goff over Wentz, who is starting after you passed on him and Gimpy Bradford sulked away to a gullible Vikings team. Your offense was a sputtering mess last year whenever it took to the air. You can't tell me your offensive schemes are so complex that a rookie can't handle them when the other one's getting the go-ahead from a team with far more to lose than you. Can Goff remember ten basic plays? Boom. Puts him two or three notches above the rejects you've had since Marc Bulger. I'm betting his college playbook was deeper than the ones employed by your team, whose proper logo is a dumpster fire with curly horns.
3) You're playing San Francisco. They've got excessive amounts of locker room drama to distract them, Blaine Gabbert is their #1 QB, Torrey Smith is their #1 scoring threat, and Carlos Hyde sucks unless he's playing Minnesota. If the NFL has a scrub squad, this is it. This is exactly who I'd hope Gurley will run over for 2-3 TDs on and maybe, just maybe put a defensive score on top of that plus FGs. Then toss Goff in for the last 2-3 drives to see what's what. You sold your soul to get him, test him out in real fire.
That's one way to look at it. However, another way is this:Teams almost never make three quarterbacks active due to special teams availability, which is the main reason why Goff is sitting.
...
"Jared's had a great camp, so has Sean. Case is clearly our starter. I think Week 1 just to settle things down and let Jared go through the experience it's probably going to be, like I mentioned last week, it's probably going to be three and inactive," Fisher said. "That's just how it goes. And then next week we'll flip them. I just want him to feel and sense and absorb the pressures of Week 1. He's going to be a great player. As we've said from Day One, we're not rushing him. We don't have to rush it. I'm really happy with where he is right now. It's unfair to compare him to anybody else. I know Philly has got their situation, it's a little different and trading Sam so Carson is going to start, but you know Jared is in a good place right now. He's done some really good things, so I'm really pleased with his progress."

Re: NFL
Goff has not looked good yet. Considering his coach is Jeff Fisher, the odds are not in his favor.
Carlos Hyde is in a bad situation. He was fine with Harbaugh, but then he got bums for coaches and the worst QB situation in the league.
