I think Romo's going to stay unsigned into training camp at the earliest. He's 36, and turns 37 in April. He's played all 16 games 4 times in his career, and not since 2012. He didn't play particularly well in his last extended game action. I don't think he's going to rush into training camp for a bad team, and there's no way a good team is going to want him unless they're panicking because a starter goes down a la 2016 Vikings. I'm thinking he waits to see if a good opportunity opens up and if it doesn't, either takes a back-up job with a contender so he can get a ring, retires, or stays unsigned going into the season in case a QB goes down.

During the regular season, Boswell has missed one extra point in 2 seasons (62/63), and is 50/57 over that time, including a single miss under 40 yards. Heinz Field is also notoriously bad for kickers because of the wind (and historically, the shitty playing surface, although they've vastly improved that over the last 5-10 years). That, and the fact that it's mathematically advantageous to go for two more often than conventional, conservative football wisdom (choosing when to go for 2 is Tomlin's strongest area as a football coach, imo) is why the Steelers go for two more than most teams. Kicker isn't a problem there, and the Steelers have bigger needs.
Edit: Also, the Steelers recently re-signed him, so...

Cruz is a slot receiver, he underperformed last season because he was asked to play outside more. In the right kind of offence (the Patriots, for example, where they run 4 receiver sets a lot and orient their offence to making passes in the middle of the field, thus making slot receivers a more important part of their game), he could still put up a 1,000 yard season. On most teams, he's going to be a third option, even if players ahead of him on the depth chart get hurt.

I didn't say he could do it on the Patriots, I cited the Patriots offence as an example of the type he could put up 1,000 yards in. Although, rumor has it that Amendola might be cut if he doesn't restructure his contract, and as a bigger receiver than both of them, Belichick and McDaniels are perfectly capable of tweaking their offence to take advantage of that fact. Put together with the fact that Gronk will likely get hurt (he's played the full regular season twice in his career, and hasn't done it for 5 years) and Edelman played 16 games twice in his career, and I wouldn't dismiss the possibility that Cruz could do it.

RB talent you can wait on until after the draft, anyway - nobody other than Le'Veon Bell is getting paid this off season, so you might as well wait and see what falls to you in the draft before deciding to sign one of the free agents.
Pats biggest need is at LB, assuming Hightower leaves. Sheard needs to be replaced, and Ninkovich is getting on so I wouldn't be surprised if they draft an OLB or two, maybe in the later rounds to groom as Ninkovich's successor and take some snaps off him to keep him fresh. DB's not an urgent need, but since Butler seems likely to leave after this season, at least developmental talent is likely to be picked up there. D-Line's been taken care of in free agency. Allen's a better TE than Bennett, imo, so they upgraded there. With Vollmer gone, depth at tackle's needed, and I'd like to reinforce the G position. White and Lewis are fine at RB, but maybe add a bigger body in there. QB is only a need if Jimmy G. gets traded.

Traded some picks for players, seem to be firmly in that "win-now" mode since the clock is probably ticking on Brady (possibly Belichick too). Do you think Jimmy G get's traded and you try for a QB in this/next draft? Or would you prefer to see Jimmy take over the reins when the time comes?
I'm not sure I'd agree with that characterization of the Pats moves. All the players they've acquired thus far are no older than 27, iirc, so it's not like they're picking up veterans with a couple of years max left. Rather, they're picking up guys who're entering their prime and have plenty of years left. I think it's more a reflection of how they see the talent in this year's draft, at least in their positions of need.

The way things sound coming out of the Patriots right now make me think there's a distinct possibility of Jimmy going into next season as the Pats starter. They've shown they're willing to trade players that are about to be UFAs - look at Collins and Jones, for example - yet they're apparently unwilling to let Jimmy go.

He's also achieved pretty much everything there is to achieve in his career and has a wife who'd quite like him to retire while he's healthy enough to play with his kids and has been pressing him to retire for the last few years. The decision isn't necessarily just about what he wants. A quick Google search claims his net worth is $200m - his wife's is almost double that. He doesn't need to play football for the money, he wants to play football because he loves football.

Fine, Derek Carr, the point still stands.
In 2017, though, what honestly prevents this from already being an issue?
It doesn't, but it's a bigger risk in Vegas because of availability and legality. It's one thing to get involved with illegal gambling - when just associating with people involved with it could potentially end your NFL career - and quite another to get involved in legal gambling in a place where like half the population works in a gambling related field. After all, if the league can convict Tom Brady of deflating footballs without actual evidence that balls were improperly deflated or evidence of an actual conspiracy to commit the act, they can decide a player probably sold out information based on little more than association.

Comparing Cj2K to TD: CJ2K has 1,750 more rushing yards, almost double the receiving yards, one more fumble on like 600+ more touches and essentially the same yards per attempt (4.5 v 4.6) and total TDs (64 vs 65). Plus, his 2,000 yard season is arguably more impressive, since he did it on roughly 40 fewer touches and added another 500 yards from scrimmage in the passing game. All the while playing on offenses QBed by Kerry Collins, Vince Young, Old Matt Hasselbeck, Jake Locker, Ryan Fitzpatrick, Geno Smith, Old Michael Vick, Carson Palmer and Drew Stanton, none of whom is exactly John Elway.

CJ2K also played in an era in which the running back position is less important than it's ever been. Right now, it's hard to justify putting one in over the other. But CJ2K hasn't retired yet, so it's possible for him to play a while longer and break the 10k yard mark, which in my opinion would give him a superior case to TD. Hell, he's less than 500 yards away, if he stays healthy and catches on with a team as a #2 RB this season he could well pass it this season.

I think Charles deserves it over half the guys in your post. 5.5 per carry is pretty special, and to have played as many snaps as he has with that average makes him a contender in my book.

It's far simpler than that. Greg Olsen and Thomas Davis want new contracts - Olsen because he's underpaid, Davis because his is expiring and he wants security - and Gettleman was an impediment to getting those done. Davis in particular is really close to Jerry Richardson, the owner. Also, there are stories coming out that he was an asshole behind the scenes.

The Dolphins were a play-off team last year, and although they had a woeful start, they went 9-2 over the last 11 games to finish 10-6. Tannehill was playing good football as he settled in to Gase's offence, and he's clearly better than Cutler. They didn't have any major losses in free agency, and they added some good parts (particularly Julius Thomas). I had them making the play-offs as a wildcard again. Not now.

Which is a fucking dumb way of thinking. The Pats are undoubtedly the favorites at this point, but they don't even have a 50% chances of winning the Super Bowl at this point.
Also, the Bills easily won that trade. Watkins may be better than Matthews, but only for the like 4 games he plays healthy, and Matthews is pretty reliable. Gaines for Darby is pretty much a wash. Plus they gain a second and third in exchange for a 6th. The Eagles got what they needed out of the deal, they have receiver depth and their secondary sucks, so Darby will help them more than the loss of Matthews. Not sure about the 3rd rounder, though, but the deal they made makes sense. The Rams are the losers - sure they get a sixth round pick, but they gave up a pretty decent cornerback and a 2nd round pick for the rights to put Sammy Watkins on injured reserve this season.

This entire saga of "will they or won't they" suspend Zeke came out of nowhere because there were barely whispers that these accusations were being taken seriously.
Like, I'm usually the last person to suggest questioning the claims of a victim of domestic violence, but this whole issue seemed to have considerably less basis for such a lengthy suspension compared to several other recent incidents.
Different standards of evidence. For a criminal conviction, they have to reach a standard of beyond reasonable doubt. Many cases that are not tried occur in instances when the DA or the police believe the crime took place, but don't have the evidence to prove it. Domestic violence is particularly prone to this because it often occurs in private, with no neutral witnesses and thus makes it a "he said, she said" situation that can be much harder to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. In this case, they record the prosecutor in his case as believing the victim. The CBA and NFL rules don't require the NFL to prove it to quite that standard (and they suspended Brady despite not even reaching that evidence threshold). It's like the OJ cases. He was found not guilty in the criminal case, but convicted in the civil case because their standards of evidence were different (beyond a reasonable doubt versus supported by the preponderance of evidence).

Don't forget, the Jets early schedule gives them the Bills, Jags and Browns in the first 5 games of the season. and the other two are against Oakland (who're clearly favored, but have a QB coming off a major injury) and the Dolphins (who have Jay Cutler at QB) - while they're clearly trying to tank, the players could get a chip on their shoulder and go into Week 6 against the Patriots with a winning record - and it's not beyond the realms of possibility they could win all of their first 5.

That's pretty much why I think they could win any number of the first five - the Bills, Jags and Browns all have issues on offense, and the Jets D is good enough to shut them down, so all they need is like 2 or 3 decent offensive series or defensive scores to be in with a shot of winning those games. Oakland has a pretty good offence, but we haven't seen Carr back in real game action, and after a serious injury, there's always a possibility of it getting in his head and ruining him like getting sacked so often did his brother. As for the Dolphins, it's always a coin-flip which Jay Cutler shows up and if they get the Bad Jay Cutler and he throws a casual 5 int game, then that's a potential wing based on defence, too. Not saying that will win all of them, but going 3-2 or 2-3 over that period isn't that much of a stretch, which would be a reasonable set up for a 4-12 or 5-11 season.

I'm fine. Not a great start to the season but nothing that can't be fixed. The big issue that swung the game was Hightower getting hurt which left Cassius Marsh playing after being a Patriot for like 5 days, and the Chiefs picked on him relentlessly. The Amendola injury hurt too, considering the Pats only had 4 healthy WR going into the game after Malcolm Mitchell went on IR, one of which also was a short term player (Phil Dorsett, acquired at the same time as Marsh). The Chiefs played really well, too (especially Eric Berry, who changed the game with that 4th down stop and was excellent until he left hurt). They really played physical coverage, and while they were penalized a lot for it, there were a number of instances where they managed to get away with it. Very effective, but I don't think it's a reliable strategy just for the risk of penalties. Brady had a mediocre game, but his first game back after the suspension last season was slow, too, and the issues with the receiving corps certainly contributed. Belichick gets a long week to get the newbies up to speed and maybe shuffle the roster to get players in to fill in the gaps, so I'll be reserving panic until after next week against the Saints.

Favorite stat of the NFL week: Tom Brady, 40 year old QB who ran a 5.28 40 at the 2000 scouting combine, rushed for 9 yards on 2 carries. Ezekiel Elliot, 22 year old alleged contender to be the best RB in the league and accused domestic abuser, rushed for 8 yards on 9 carries.

So does Matthew Slater, that doesn't make him a better WR than Julio Jones. Eli was carried to two Super Bowl rings by great defences and/or defensive performances, and let's not forget that the Tyree catch was only so great because, after all the work Eli did to get free of the pressure and set himself up to get a good throw off, he way over threw him and somehow Tyree managed to catch it anyway.

I'm not panicking until they're played divisional games, but the Pats defence is looking garbage. They're giving up way too many rushing yards, and the secondary is looking poor. It's frustrating, because theoretically Gilmore should have made the secondary better, but instead, paying him instead of Malcolm Butler seems to have put the holdovers into a funk, and Gilmore isn't exactly performing to his price tag either. Gotta fix it, or it'll be a disappointing season where, like, the Pats lose the AFC Championship game.
At least I can enjoy the Jets totally Jetsing up their attempts to tank for a QB in next year's draft.

I’m starting to think it’s coaching issue.
There's just no way everyone got bad overnight. There are multiple All-Pros, Pro Bowlers, and up and coming players on this team playing defense. On talent alone, this is an elite unit. We might have a coaching issue and Patricia needs to be held accountable. 4 straight weeks of bad defensive play. The coaching staff needs to fix this.
No. Patricia defences have typically given up more yards than you'd expect from their point totals - they operate under a "bend don't break" philosophy. In that respect they aren't doing anything radically different from previous years, scheme-wise and coaching-wise. The problems, however, are in player performances. The secondary is playing like garbage. The big acquisition, Gilmore, isn't playing well. They don't usually make those acquisitions, and it unsettled Malcolm Butler, who wanted out because they wouldn't pay him. I certainly have the sense from their play that this whole situation has unsettled the rest of them. Further, with the Collins trade last year and the retirement of Ninkovich, our ability to assert pressure up front has diminished, and we cut the guy who we traded for to replace their production (Kony Ealy). There have also been injury issues - when Hightower went down against the Chiefs, we had to put Cassius Marsh, who'd been with the team a whole 5 days, in at linebacker and the Chiefs picked on him mercilessly. None of these issues are on the coaching staff, they're on Belichik the GM.

Agree on the rest.
He's not been *that* good in coverage, and penalties/miscommunication are were big play break downs come from. He's had several of those.

this actually brings me to what I really want to talk about: What the fuck is the NFL gonna do about the Chargers?
They aren't making any money off this team. They might be losing it. I don't think they are coming back to San Diego, but something gotta happen man. Maybe move THEM to Vegas and put the Raiders in LA where they belong?
My personal belief is that they'll give them 10 years or so in Los Angeles which gives them a reasonable chance to turn things around and lets the NFL blame the Chargers if they don't, then either let them stay if they're doing okay or ship them off to a place the league wants them to go if they're not. They've been putting on Raiders games in Mexico City, if the Mexican market is looking good at that point, then I could totally see them moving there, with a name change designed to appeal to the whole Mexican market.

Moving them sooner means admitting a mistake. The Chargers were a bad team last year. They were a bad team the year before. They're currently appearing to be a bad team this year. Their alleged franchise QB is almost at the end of his career. They'll get some time to rebuild since nothing helps build a fanbase like winning. Plus they're stuck in a temporary home until 2020, in a stadium that's not really designed for pro football. They won't be judged until they move into a proper stadium, with a proper capacity and the proper amenities expected of a modern football stadium.

The thing is, they actually are not that bad. They just get every single bad bounce. And it's not even close. They are 4-19 in single score games since the start of 2015. That's so far away from the average that it's kind of ridiculous.
They're also in a strong division, with KC, Denver and the Raiders. But you can't really call them a good team either. I guess I more meant that to the casual fan, they're perceived to be a bad team, which is more important that whether they are a bad team.

10 years is a lot of roster turnover, to be fair. The Patriots won the Super Bowl in 2004 and 2014, and the only player who was on both teams was Brady. But I don't disagree, it's just giving them time allows the NFL to put the blame for the Chargers failing in LA on the team rather than the league, which I would assume would be the league's objective.

On the one hand, I think the balance of evidence (which is the standard the NFL uses unlike the criminal justice system) suggests Ezekial Elliot is a shitbag and a domestic abuser, and thus don't have an issue with his suspension. On the other, it's bullshit he got the right amount of games and people like Josh Brown got away with one game for a much stronger evidence (but hey, he's a kicker and white, so it didn't get anywhere near the media attention), and I harbour an intense desire for Roger Goodell to be humiliated in court the way he should have been over the Deflategate debacle.
Can both sides be hit by a meteor? I like that option.

The bigger issue is not with the Pack starting Hundley, it's that they're going to be starting him while having a back up whose last meaningful non-preseason action was as in Division III for Wesley. Like, go with Hundley if you want, but surely you should bring in someone who has experience and you know can adequately do the job in the event Hundley gets injured. Knowing how these things go, they'll probably trade something to Indy for Scott Tolzien, who'll end up starting a second game as a further slap in the face to Kaepernick.
