Smashmouth Posted March 16, 2015 Share Posted March 16, 2015 That SNF or MNF game he had against the Giants after he was traded to the Vikings was the absolute worst QB performance I had ever seen in my life. In fact, the only reason I kept watching was because it was a primetime game and it was the only game on TV. Worse than Genos 3 consecutive Int performance ?

JetsRay Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Texans had a WR opening. What do we have a 4th WR spot?Last years 4th round pick Shaq Evans, and late season performer Chris Owusu There is also Walter Powell, 7th rd pick Enunwa, and TJ Graham who I beleive is also under contrar for one more year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 No one is saying the NFL will die tomorrow. But 40-50 years down the road I can see a world without the NFL. It all starts with the youth levels. Kids in affluent families who have other options are already being kept from playing football, especially after this kind of stuff has happened: http://www.cnn.com/2014/10/02/us/new-york-football-player-death/ Next step is football getting banned by some state's public schools. And so on. It'll be a slow death but a death nonetheless. It's all about cost vs. benefit. When kids are getting bigger and stronger and thus more violent, and more and more kids die on football fields or in some ER, people start to wonder if it's worth it.

Goodell's got you covered. The NFL is going to introduce new helmets with special gel type pads on the inside to basically make it impossible to suffer a concussion. So now you can bang heads even harder, non stop, all day long. Of course it'll turn you into a vegetable by the time you're done playing football. But hey, the most important thing is you don't miss a snap. There's no way the NFL is getting banned anywhere, it's a billion dollar business, they can buy any politician they want. It's not happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycdan Posted March 17, 2015 Share Posted March 17, 2015 Or...maybe a modified version of the game will rise to take its place. Look at how popular Lacrosse has become in the last decade or two. There are a lot of kids in our town leaving soccer and football to play lacrosse. Your point about schools banning football is interesting and might point to a possible path to an alternate sport that looks and smells like football but with less violent contact. The question is, will football itself morph that way or will they leave room for such a competitor to spring up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaBallhawk Posted March 17, 2015 Author Share Posted March 17, 2015 Personally I wouldn't mind if they came up with a hybrid Football/Rugby type game. Get rid of all the pads, the facemask and maybe even the helmet. There is no need to bang heads, no point. Use your shoulders or your hands to fight people of or to push/shove. That actually takes some skill/technique. Maybe the game will actually get better if players are forced to focus on technique... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those same politicians would change their tune if one of their own kids dies on a football field. When certain subsets of the population stop playing football, you're left with kids from less affluent backgrounds and sociopaths playing the game, which becomes a recipe for disaster.

The question is, will football itself morph that way or will they leave room for such a competitor to spring up. My guess is those same kids just choose another sport. If you can play football you can play pretty much anything. At the college levels mid-major baseball and basketball teams LOVE recruiting kids who used to play football because of their mentality, approach and work ethic. The US Men's National Team would rapidly improve if American Football no longer was an option, I know that much for sure. I mean, imagine Brandon Marshall as a goalie? Darren Sproles as a winger? Darrelle Revis as a defender? We have the best athletes in the world in this country, but the world doesn't recognize it because they don't play soccer. Not that we should care what Europeans think, but imagine the possibilities. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
