NFL (since 2016)

"Free agency started last night and was pretty crazy some huge money being spent. Osweiler getting £18m a year for the Texans, leaving the Broncos without a QB, Giants have spent a fortune on good but not great players, Oliver Vernon has more guaranteed money than JJ Watt. lots more deals but cant be bothered to list them all."

"While they are both obviously great runers they are very different runners, Jackson mostly avoids any big hits whereas Newton being so big would try and run over people, was also used a lot as a goal line back. Also Newton due to his size got very little protection from referees, seen Jackson get a few fairly soft roughing calls already this season"

Lamar Jackson should learn from Cam Newton. Being a dual threat quarterback is obviously great but your useful career can be rather short.

"yes, I think they need a more conventional, bigger receiver that can play out side but as you say, it's an amazing improvement from his rookie year"

[crystal falace]

"Yeah i think they will have to evolve the offence over time, cant just keep running the QB 10-15 times a game and running 3 tight end sets with really only 1 viable wide receiver on the team. But he has improved so drastically as a passer from last year that i think he could thrive in a more regular offence, similar to how Russel Wilson operates."

[Takashi Miike]

"crystal, it's his efficiency that's most impressive. obviously greg roman also deserves a lot of credit, but superbowls are never won in december so a long way to go yet"

[Hermit Road]

"37 points for your man Jackson. The geezer is a machine. Eventually he will get slower with the hits, took a big one early on yesterday, and defences will work him out a bit but the thing about him is, he can stand in the pocket and throw the ball."

"As long as they dont rest players next week i'll be fine, Hopefully be in the championship finals next week after that huge performance from him last night"

[Takashi Miike]

"one more win and they can give him a few weeks rest before the playoffs, maybe they can work him/them out next year :.)"

[crystal falace]

"seems to be a similar trend in a few of their games, run the ball down closeish to the goalline then run some play action or RPO to get someone wide open int he endzone. To think i was worried about starting Jackson due to a quad injury havent seen exactly how many points he got me but i think he did pretty well. Also Jackson broke the record for rushing in a season by a QB last night, he also leads the lead in TD passes this season, one of the biggest favourites fro MVP there has been for years and i think he'll be the youngest ever winner. I stand by the fact that sooner or later defences will figure out how to stop this offence but right now he is absolutely incredible."

[Grumpster]

"Now I know the jets are a bit shit, but jackson only had 15 completed passes last night and 5 of them were TD's!"

[southbankbornnbred]

Oi! Wash your mouth out.

"Apparently lamar Jackson has a Quad injury, he's on a short week as well and is playing tomorrow! Could be the end of my fantasy season if he's not 100% Can't imagine they'll be running him too much against the goddamn jets"

[Takashi Miike]

"cough, you know bronco also wrestled at the highest level, one strong man. it's fascinating watching footage of some of those old players playing without headgear"

[Far Cough]

Chicago had a unit called Bronco Nagurski another one I would have loved to have seen in real time is Dick Butkus

[Takashi Miike]

"I'd love to have watched mel blount on a regular basis, what a unit he was :.)"

[Far Cough]

"Lott had 2 sacks in one season, he had 8.5 overall"

[crystal falace]

"Teams will quite regularly blitz a defensive back to try and surprise a QB, usually a safety, rodney harrison had over 30 sacks from safety Might be a more modern tactic because i would guess that 2 over the course of a career is actually quite low"

[Far Cough]

"Ronni Lott had 2 QB sacks, fuck me how does a DB get to sack a QB? I suppose it's when the offensive team gets in the red zone?"

[Far Cough]

"Yeah I enjoyed listening to Neon Deion, he had a lot of good things to say, I'm glad Ronnie Lott got in though"

[Takashi Miike]

"doesn't even mention it, he's very generous towards some of his heroes and former team mates. he could back up the ego so I enjoy listening to him. I wish I'd seen mel blount play at his peak"

[crystal falace]

What was sandwrs' reaction like when he found out he wasnt a unanimous pick? Biggest ego i've ever seen!
