Shhhhhh.

Cool, we could go 8-8 and still get the #1 pick in the draft if this keeps up.

 

Oh god the entire article gave me infectious disease I think. Ryan is VERY accurate within the pocket and I've been blown away by his ball placement ability several times in his first two starts. The idea that we took him solely based on his athletic ability sickens me. Anyone who has watched any tape on him can see he is a passing QB with a beautiful release point who just happens to be athletic as well.

 

They fixed the 0-2 reference, but that is pretty pathetic that it was there in the first place.

 

What does that site know about the NFL anywa...huh...what?....are you sure?.....oh. Never mind.

 

can't wait for their article about how we hired nick saban.

 

I have realized that the so called experts on NFL network and the analysts doing the games, whether it is for CBS, Fox, NBC, ESPN, or NFLN really have no idea what they are talking about most of the time. Most of what they say is cliche. It is beyond obvious that they really do study the teams or analyze the statistics of each team.

Take for instance the Washington Redskins game against the Saints. The "experts" on the major networks will tell you that Mike Shanahan scripted some quick, easy passes to get RGIII into a rythm. The reality of the situation is that Shanahan actually brought some of Art Briles's playbook with him and installed packaged plays that gave the quarterback several options based on what the defense was doing post snap.

If you want a great overall view that is biased free, then check out Chris Brown's work at Grantland or any of the work that Football Outsiders puts out there.

 

And how long did it take you to come to this realization? It's been that way as long as there have been broadcast sports "analysts".

 

/\ To be fair, most are pretty vanilla and are getting the job because of their connections in the industry. However some guys have some pretty good football knowledge and are good to listen to. I like Tim Ryan and Pat Kirwin, they seem to always know whats going on with a team, less obvious players, know how to explain x and o's on plays for the fans who aren't as educated.

 

Unreal.

 

NFL Sirius radio is a step up from NFL Network or any of the other sports television stations IMO. It's not perfect, but usually has entertaining and reasonably knowledgeable broadcasters.. Just don't like Adam Schein.

 

He's probably a Jets fan. Who care's? The team will probably use this and the article that excluded Reggie to fuel their fire!

 

drop some twitter names on me. I just signed up for it a few days ago. I am following a couple of players and a couple of writters.

 

This would require me to acknoweldge something good has come out of Bill Simmons.
I cannot in good faith do that.

 

are any of them using names other than their real names?

 

Are you a stalker? :tongue2:
