I saw tweets about the WR need.  It's bizarre.  I thought the trade was smart in terms of what they are trying to do rebuild wise.  But to flip into a need for a WR 5 games into the season is just strange.  Classic impatient rebuild feelings

I was concerned the Panthers gave up too much, which isn't a crazy stance given how much they gave up. As stated previously, once they made the trade I was all-in on Bryce Young.

And of course I agree on the impatience thing. Those who were predicting playoff contention this season were on crack.

The Athletic has a Top 100, the greatest 100 NFL players of all time.

Dick Butkus is #10, the #1 MLB.

Ray Lewis checks in at #17.
I'll concede that Lewis is kind of close to Butkus.

Three year extension for Jonathan Taylor.  Third highest paid back after McCafferey and Kamara.

I was holding out hope the Packers would get him.  But with Rodgers $40M dead money, and Bakhtiari likely needing to be released after this season, probably just not feasible for them to pay Taylor what it would have taken as well.

Lots and lots of supposed experts said the holdout wouldn't work, that Irsay would never cave, and that RBs are worth so little he'd never get real $$$ from anyone. Glad to see Taylor get his coin.

That was roughing the passer?  What exactly is the defender supposed to do?

Yes. It was clear. Can't hit the quarterback in the helmet.

It doesn't matter what the defender is supposed to do. It can't result in that.

So if the QB lowers his helmet ,and the defender running full speed to sack him hits his helmet, it's an auto-penalty?  That's absurd.

Lot of action here at the end of Bills Jags game. Travis Etienne Jr is quite a player for Jags. Josh Allen moving the ball down the field quickly for a score.

If I'm correct, Daniel Jones is on pace to get sacked about 100 times this season.  :o

Steelers coming back at home v Ravens.  They trail 10-8 in the 4th after struggling all day. They may just pull it off after all.

Gardner Minshew is better than Anthony Richardson. There, I said it.

A very good RB would not move the needle on the current Bears.

Not exactly shocking.
Minshew has 25 NFL starts.
Richardson has 13 college starts.

I wasn't sold on Richardson during the draft process, but everyone knew he was a project who would need a season or two to get anywhere near his potential.

Those who talk about how big and strong Richardson is aren't lying. But big, strong football players suffer head and shoulder and knee injuries all the time. One's noggin' is still one's noggin', and ligaments and tendons are not injury-proof, no matter how big a football player is.

If he's used like a battering ram more often than he's used like a quarterback, he will suffer his share of injuries, many of them serious, and will likely have a short career.

In what seemed like 10 seconds, big, strong Cam Newton went from league MVP to not being able to throw a 15-yard pass. The human body can only take so much punishment, no matter how big and strong.

It may be moot now, but I was previously questioning why Richardson was starting over Minshew. Are the Colts trying to win now, or trying to get Richardson experience. If its the latter, why pay JT?

Good questions.  Maybe want to trade JT.

Philly is -3.5 at the Rams today.  Hoping my guys can steal one and go to 3-2, but the Eagles are looking good this season.  Go Rams!!!
