My jaw dropped when I saw this on web
I have to say Indy totally mismanaged their franchise quarterback. I mean they did an awful job with their o-line, he just got beat up too soon, too fast. He's a smart man, graduating from stanford and all. The chatter of people saying that football is too violent is not going to diminish, and with a franchise quarterback that had people expecting a superbowl win at some point, walking away, well, that's just going to keep that chatter going.
The problem: owner Jim Irsay didn't bother to invest in a decent offensive line to protect Andrew Luck. Had Irsay done say early in Luck's career, he would have been right now called the true successor to Tom Brady.
I think Luck could have been better than Brady with just a decent team around him. He also needed a better coach.
Lol - Sorry but that's just wishful thinking.
I'm sure others could have been better then Brady if they had a better o-line, receivers, running backs, defense, and coaching. The point is that no one has been able to duplicate the success of the Pats
When I saw the tweet from Schefter I initially thought it was one of my friends retweeting one of those fake Adam Schefter accounts... I couldn't believe it. I was in shock because they had such a great season last year, finally had a really good O-line and were one of the favorites in the AFC this year. But then I read the list of injuries the guy had sustained and I really don't blame him for getting out, I think he's doing the smart thing.
I smell collusion, Brown signs with the Patriots just hours after getting cut by the Raiders. I would bet this whole thing was planned out.

Too Funny! There was no collusion, no obstruction! :lol:
above: Yes, stupid.
This soap opera is not over.

Wow, did the Browns stink today. Pack up the hype and put it back in storage.
And, uh, let’s keep this out of PRSI, Mr. Giuliani.

Couple of thoughts on week 1:
- I feel like this whole Antonio Brown saga was orchestrated behind the scenes to get him to the Patriots... I don't think its collusion per se... Patriots probably just confirmed to his agent that they would pick him up if he were released ( I guess that is collusion lol) I am still not sure if AB has mental issues, Is a mastermind that has figured out how to game the system and get what he wants or has CTE, or is just a huge jerk Diva that is unaware
- It was nice seeing the Browns get blown up after all the hype created by the media... Mayfield running his mouth just became unlikeable and OBJ couldn't shut up about the Giants even though it was obvious he wanted out. Also their fans became absolutely unbearable on the r/nfl reddit forum.. I mean you would think this was a storied franchise that was guaranteed a SB this year and that Mayfield should be fitted for a HOF jacket already... Some nice humble pie was served yesterday
- My team ugh! The Jets are the best at suffering embarrassing losses. yesterday was just absolutely brutal.... Does anyone know any psychologist that can perform some type of hypnotism or therapy to remove my fandom? If I could just erase 20 years of being a fan and stop following a team and just enjoy NFL games without any bias that would be great... Christ this team is hard to root for.

I've learned that the Giants won't be good for a long time and just to follow other teams that have good players. I love watching Mahomes. The dude is a beast in the making.
