James been watching to many Ronnie Lott films.

[rocketfish]

my chargee's are in the playoff baby

[Procta]

a lot of cringe games over the weekend even in "prime time"

[Lunatic]

Fuk the Bucs suck

That isn’t news. But Jesus Christ at the drop off

Amazing how much of a difference a coaching change makes, right?

He'll still end up winning a SB next year with Sean Payton.

[thedarrenestes]

Mike Evans has had a Russel Wilson sized drop off
Dude can’t even find the ball in the air and flops like LeBron if he’s touched

Maybe they just need to line him up in the backfield more so Brady could get it to him?

[ZBlacktt]

JJ Watt is retiring.

Couldn’t hurt

When you have no speed downfield and a line that can’t block you need to get creative

[Lunatic]

JJ Watt is retiring.

Been a long time coming. Just can't stay healthy and after his heart issue the other day he really needs to step away. At least he'll be in the HOF in 5 years.

Was fun getting to watch him embarrass people in his prime. Will probably end up making a really good coach.

That whole heart thing was incredibly overhyped and was zero indication he needed to step away, everything else notwithstanding. The man was crying over it ffs.

It is extremely common (as in I see it a few times a week) that someone's heart goes into atrial fibrillation and we shock them out of it. Even at his age. It isn't like he was going to die from atrial fibrillation or something. It's treatable, fixable and a common occurrence in adult populations. We literally fix this within an hour of you hitting the ER door.

Sorry, but this really got to me for some reason.

Really? I've never heart of a-fib being common in athletes. That sure as hell would alarm me, especially if I had received one of the covid vaccines.

I know it's treatable and all that, but it being a common occurrence is is definitely news to me.

No worries, my dude. All good.

Raiders have benced Derek Carr.... wait wut?

Tua is out again this weekend.... more brain damage.

I didn't think Vegas was even mathematically eliminated yet? I get it would be a longshot but to call it a season this early is something

[WoofieNugget]

Honestly for his sake they should keep him out the rest of the season. That's his third major brain injury in less than four months. Guy is going to be a vegetable if he keeps getting his bell rung.

he needs to learn to fall, this last time he could have prevented his head from bouncing off the ground

A sign that Carr is gone after this season and Tua is like one of the old time boxers from the late 1800s/early 1900s that was fighting multiple times per month lol.

[Jaydawg08]

I don't think I've ever seen a "lose lose" trade quite like Adams to the Raiders

Packers desperately miss him after not giving Rodgers the right weapons... Carr isn't Rodgers, so Adams production should be even greater than it is and should have amounted to more wins than it has

Both teams lose, all players involved lose. If you put him to a lie detector, I bet he's regretting his decision to leave

Real chance both Adams and Tyreek are sitting at home watching their former QBs in the playoffs this year

[badger6]

That's okay, they got paid. That's the point right?

How are you shocked by this?

Carr has regressed as the season has gone on. The Pittsburgh game was the perfect example.

He overthrows, underthrows, doesn’t go through his progressions, his ball placement is horrible…oh and hes one of the worst in the redzone. I know this because i have seen him play for the last 9 years. If it wasnt for jacobs this team would be worse.


Also this is the main reason

once again renewed questions as to whether he should remain with the team. And, as explained at the time his latest contract was completed, the Raiders have a way to get out from under the bulk of the deal.

But if they’re going to do it, they’ll need to act quickly.

Hyped by the quid-pro-quo crowd as a firm, $40.5 million deal, the truth was and is that Carr received $24.9 million in 2022, with no full guarantees beyond the current season.

Carr has a $32.9 million salary for 2023, which was guaranteed for injury at the time of signing. It, along with $7.5 million in 2024 salary currently guaranteed for injury, becomes fully guaranteed on the third day of the 2023 waiver period.

The waiver period begins after the Super Bowl. If the Raiders are going to cut Carr — and escape that $40.4 million liability — they’ll have a narrow window in which to act.

The Raiders made the great and intelligent move in benching him. Imagine if he plays and gets injured…the Raiders are forced to pay him for getting injured!

Any sane organization would do the same.

Honestly i have a feeing they were planning this all along and thats why they brought stidham in since he knows the offense.

Keep in mind Stidham when he played in the preseason the offense was unstoppable and flawless…..Carr played ZERO snaps.

Nice to see you posting in this section again after your hilarious preseason threads.

Lol

[1hardgainer]

I thought I read somewhere that Carr said he would rather retire than play for another team. If LV is really serious about moving on from him we'll see how serious he was about that comment.

[niospecv]

guys like Troy aikman and steve young have had their bell rung far more times and they're all right.

Well, it's not a good thing. If you end up with atrial fibrillation for life, it increases your risk of stroke significantly and you must take blood thinners. It's pretty rare that someone his age gets it and can't treated/fixed -- as he did. There's a couple rhythms we shock or give drugs to fix that are not a biggie, a-fib and SVT, and we send people back home to follow up with cardiology to see if it'll be a recurrent thing. Sometimes you need a procedure called an ablation to shock a tiny part of your heart to keep it from happening again, fairly benign procedure. A-fib is in about 1-2% of the population, so 1/100 or 1/50 is fairly common in medicine. Living with a-fib is no fun, but an acute episode that is fixed is no biggie overall. I imagine it would be somewhat scary for a world class athlete to go through it because they aren't use to being "sick." I just got irate when it was talked about like the grim reaper had come knocking haha

guys like Troy aikman and steve young have had their bell rung far more times and they're all right.

Steve Young got obliterated at least half a dozen times in his career. It's crazy for me to see the difference of growing up watching as a kid compared to now. Steve Young may have rushed for 1,000 yards and thrown for 4,500 with 50-60 combined touchdowns in today's NFL.

[ohiostate124]

Bring DC to DC. I’d take Carr in a heartbeat.

Tua needs to retire.
