The NFL Thread

[Tony Towner]

Thomas is the best for me. OBJ has a quarterback than can reach him this year rather than one who can only throw to the slot receiver, it'll be interesting to see if the talent proves to be as big as the personality.

 

[PuntsWolf]

Julio by any chance?

Absolutely. I’d have Hopkins ahead of him too.

Cleveland with OBJ are going to be pretty interesting to watch this season.

Brown has better stats than both of those players.

Or maybe not...

The game isn’t played on paper. And I’d disagree Browns stats are better than Julios anyway.

They're both elite players but you can't really disagree when Brown has more receptions, more receiving yards, caught more TD passes, has more Pro bowl appearances and been first team all Pro twice more

Well you can. He’s played more seasons, more seasons = more games = more receptions (Julio has more yards per catch and more yards per game). Julio is rarely thrown the ball in the end zone (normally because he’s in triple coverage and therefore easier to throw someone else the ball, and he’s not a Diva like AB if he doesn’t get the ball), Steelers have been a much better team than the Falcons over the period, AB got to play against the Browns twice a year!

It wasn’t really a serious comment because I’m biased, but I honestly wouldn’t swap them if I had the chance.

He has been in the league 1 more season, if you take Browns stats away from last season he's still ahead in nearly all categories, the Steelers have been better than the Falcons in general though I'll give you that.

I wouldn't swap them either I don't like Brown particularly, although I wouldn't be surprised to see this stuff turn out to be CTE related as his behaviour since signing with the Raiders has been ridiculous and it makes no sense. I think if they cut him he's really going to struggle to find a team as who is going to take that hassle on at the money he will want.

 

[Deano]

On Julio Jones, is he playing this weekend? I know the contract situation is still on going and I am a Vikings fan so I'm hoping not ��

 

[PuntsWolf]

Last i heard yes.

Brown released by the Raiders

I've changed my team about 4 times in the last 24 hours, the last time removing him and balancing my team out better as I was too reliant on the NE game.

Who is going to take Brown on? Seems a bit of an arse

New contract agreed

Washington maybe?

 

[Deano]

Nobody should bother it's not worth the hassle as good as he is.

 

[Dennisons Wrong Foot]

Washington need all the help they can get, but you would assume he would prefer a better quarterback situation.

Not aware of any rumours over here. Several teams could use him (arguably every team) but too much baggage right now. This weekends games will give teams more idea of what they need.

 

[Tony Towner]

Can't see it Paddy, be pointless them paying that kind of money in their current situation. Assuming anyone will it'll be someone in 'win now' mode, but that's a lot of unplanned cap space you'd need. Would surprise me if there is a sweet spot between what someone will pay him and what he'd take, unless he's prepared to take a lot less to chase a ring.

He'd be a classic Cowboys TO type signing, but they need to pay Dak and Cooper after just securing Elliot so couldn't afford him

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I would hate him at those wankers with a star on their helmets.

 

[The Bear]

Lol at the AB situation. Mental stuff.
