Official running NFL Week 1 thread

Predictive text is a pox on society.

 

Yeah, don't we usually have an SportsJournalists.com league set up on Yahoo? I haven't seen anything about it this year.

 

Rams claimed Case Keenum. I like the move. Kid's got potential.

 

Your new Raiders starting QB: Derek Carr (per Jay Glazer) ...

Man, Matt Schaub was Matt Flynn to a fuckin' T this year.

 

Schaub's done. Raiders finally did something right.

 

And the circle of life is complete, as when Schaub went to Houston for his first true starting job, it was to replace ... David Carr.

 

What it's all about.

 

Watt is one of those guys who I feel like could get a four-day suspension any day now. I feel the same way about Clay Matthews.

But if they're doing something, to their credit, they have not been caught.

 

The toll on Jim Irsay for his DUI/bags of pills/bags of cash excursion: one year probation, 90 days suspended drivers' license -- and six games and $500,000 from the NFL.

I was willing to give McKenzie/Allen a slight pass for Flynn last year because well it was worth a shot given how bare the Raiders QB shelf was and how Flynn appeared to be a legit QB at one time;

But two times in consecutive years? You pay huge $$ for another questionable QB and again he doesn't make it out of the preseason? If that's not a strong indicator of the lack of the ability to judge the most important position on the field, what is?

The Raiders have got to be the laughingstock of the league right now in terms of QB judging, its like the Vikings are hoping that the Raiders offer 2 firsts for Cassel next year.
