NFL Preseason 2016

I think Trent Dilfer is a free agent.

-Mike

He can at least hang onto the ball! Interesting....

As you may remember, he took over as the starting QB (replacing Tony Banks) in Baltimore early in the 2000 season and led them to a Super Bowl victory. Excellent example of a game manager QB.....You don't have to win the game Trent, just don't lose it.

[Funky Ghost]

Hey, I don't like him. He's hurt all the time. @Funky Ghost is the one going on and on all the time about how great he supposedly is.

-Mike

So was Captain Hair-do but he is still counted as a great Steeler

 

[JLY]

Captain Hair-do is also a future hall of famer

If Shazier can stay healthy- he is a beast

-Mike

Absolutely. I think he's the prototype of the game manager QB.

I'm going to pretend you didn't just compare Shazier to Polamalu.

He's also 44 and hasn't played a down since 2007. He'd be a tackling dummy.

No way. He's game ready.

Bring back Steve DeBerg!!

He's only 52, just in his prime.

 

[Funky Ghost]

Warren Moon is out there too

 

[Kaa]

Hell, if Don Strock could come straight off a golf course and win a huge game against the Oilers back in the day, Dilfer could do it too!

Bring back ol' Mud Bone! One of the toughest QBs ever.

 

[Gaolee]

Here's another one who could take (and give) a hit.

 

[SwitchGear]

This guy was pretty tough

And meanwhile in Denver Coloradio, Trevor Semian is starting game #3. Much analysis points to the assumption that it's his job to lose, and da rookie Paxton Lynch may be #2. Sanchez has lost the handle on the ball too many times, and there is speculation he may get cut if Lynch looks like a viable backup.

Lotsa QB drama here. I feel for Sanchez, as he has worked really hard to fit into Denver, but he does seem to manage to lose the ball too often. The Broncos are going to be built around defense, and the QB has to mostly protect the ball and avoid mistakes.

I hope they start Semian and let Paxton learn the offense. Semian has a strong arm, and can stretch the defenses.

Kaepernick sits out National Anthem; 49ers, NFL, others respond

Tony Romo is going to be one messed up dude when he retires.

-Mike

Yep. I can't stand the Cowboys, but I feel bad for Romo. It'll be interesting to see how Dak does in the regular season.

-Mike

He's already one messed up dude after that latest hit he took
