nfl schedule is out...hope the ones on here that live in the atl area can hook a dude up with cowboys @ falcons tickets.
NFL Offseason Thread

You know the ATLiens on here are white, right?
THN has stated (I'm unsure of the veracity) that the vast majority of Falcons fans are black. All the poasters on here from GA are white (and I believe the logic would follow that they are therefore not Falcons fans).
Kinda close but not exactly what I was getting at. He asked for Falcons tickets. Like 60% of the Georgia Dome crowd for a Falcons game is black. I'm not sure how the demographics will shift with Mercedes Benz Stadium since it was built via PSLs.
Glad the Pats get an easy cross-conference division this year. Will make up for having 5 out of 6 games on the road in the heart of the season.
3rd person poast
i don't believe @gteeitup poasted "fan" anywhere...he referred to atl folks as living in, reside, squatters, dwellers, zip coders, non-sports fans.
every alabama player must smoke weed
and jabril peppers just cost himself millions...he goes from an overrated, possible 1st round pick, to maybe a 2nd or 3rd because of the dreaded "diluted urine sample"

Bro, every football player, period, smokes weed.
And yes, LOL at Jabrill PickaPeppers.
At bama they probably make them smoke weed so when they fail drug tests they can point to that as a cover up for the roids.
This is so stupid of the league. A diluted sample gets you screwed now too? Talk about jumping to conclusions. Oh, well the urine was too watery for us to tell if you do drugs or not - so we're just gonna go ahead and assume you do.
Chugging water is the #1 way to beat the test, so what choice does the NFL have?
Right... you knew what I meant when I said "every football player smokes weed." I kept it PC lol..... I'll state it another way, still PC: All skill position football players, minus QB, smoke weed.
To not try to play dictator and crack down on kids for doing something that is legal in an ever-increasing amount of states?
Beat your wife, no problem. Smoke a J, you're f*cked. And don't even get me started on almost having some sort of knowledge that there may have been an equipment violation.
they(owners/gm's) are trying to change the league policy on weed, but there's some pushback.
instead of immediately placing guys like peppers in the program, they want to give a strike policy, which i think is the right thing to do.
some dudes smoke weed so they can actually function in life.

Other than just enjoying it, athletes smoke weed because it won't slow them down / make them sluggish. Alcohol will.
Apparently you've never been around a lot of potheads.
so, read some stuff today re: trubisky vs watson or kizer...scouts love trubisky's arm vs the the others, they love kizer's full complement vs others, and they love watson's games.
the interesting part isn't really cleveland, it's san fran...forget what that clown sapp said, garrett is a big-time pass rusher and will be #1 unless they receive some massive trade offer...sapp said he only makes four plays a game, which is misleading.

Won't impact their athletic performance in general, idiot. Not in that exact moment they smoke.
Nah, you know I'm never serious when we go back and forth on here. You told me my life was meaningless earlier lol.
Using a first round pick on Brandon Weeden has to be one of the dumbest draft picks of all time.
i would take garrett, allen, howard, trubisky, hooker, or corey davis at #1 and #12 and win the day.
Here's a really good (but long) read about Mitch. I like that the writer (and even Bug Howard!) isn't afraid to call Fedora out for not starting Trubisky sooner.
That was a tough, tough situation with Marquise and Mitch. I think ultimately Fedora made the right decision, but it's still a bad look for him. It's why I question the extent Trubisky's draft position will help Carolina's QB recruiting, but yeah. Anyway, good article.

reading these non-media mocks/scout evals/agent sites has me giddy...if corey davis or oj howard fall to #28, i'll shit myself...they are completely off my radar because i want watt or white.
If Mitch ends up with the Browns, I'm afraid he'll end up as just another name in this long list ...
I think that's a safe bet. The Browns should be drafting lineman and skill position players for the next couple of drafts.If Mitch ends up with the Browns, I'm afraid he'll end up as just another name in this long list ...
Charlotte Observer's article on Mitch points out he was born in 1994 ... the last year the Browns won a playoff game.

If you don't have a franchise QB, you've got no shot. Drafting OLmen and skill position players before you've secured your franchise QB is akin to rearranging furniture on the Titanic.
We've discussed this before and I agree that you have to have a QB to win the super bowl. However, you have to have a team to get you to the playoffs, Drafting a QB before you've secured the other positions is akin to going bear hunting with a tooth pick.
Being completely objective, Mitch is not a #1-pick-caliber QB. That would be a bad move for both parties here -- Mitch's career would likely be over before it even gets started, and the Browns would have continued their tradition of handicapping their own progress.
THN11 is 100% correct -- you do not win Super Bowls without a franchise QB. The Ravens with Trent Dilfer and the Tampa Bay Bucs a while back are exceptions to the rule b/c both of those had All-Time great defensive units, which Cleveland does not have. All that said, if you use the top pick on a QB, you'd better be damn sure he is the right guy. Personally, if I absolutely HAD to take a QB at #1 this year, it would be D.Watson. But even that feels like a massive reach. IMO, the Browns have a better shot taking Garrett and signing Jay Cutler, as bad as that sounds. Just try to patch together "something" to generate a playoff run and get the fanbase semi-excited. Unfortunately for the Browns, there is not a true #1 QB in this draft. Ask the Rams how Goff is working out...

I loved watching Deshaun in college, but he's not going to cut it in the NFL, IMO. His best attributes are intangibles like toughness, heart, will to win. He doesn't have the accuracy or ball velocity to make NFL throws.
You can work on and improve mechanics. Again, I only say this if I'm Cleveland and absolutely HAVE to take a QB. I personally would not take one in this draft if given the choice.
i don't believe any team in the 2017 draft believes there are franchise qb's this year...if so, there wouldn't be so much chatter...i happen to also believe there are no elite qb's this year.
reading these scout and gm driven sites, there's even thought that watson might go to jacksonville...talk about turning the draft upside down...that could mean two qb's in the top four picks, which pushes everyone down and brings kizer, mahomes, and webb back in play for teams to draft and trade for.

teams that could draft a qb and have the ammunition to move up:
browns
saints
jags
texans
chiefs
chargers
redskins
vikings
cardinals
steelers
