What's the over/under until Prescott gets injured? 🤣

Could happen to any QB.  Happened to Burrow last season and Love 2 days ago.

 

That's primarily why they want guaranteed money.  They get paid whether they get hurt or whether they stink too.

 

Most of the time these lucrative QB contracts hamstring the rest of their team because there's only so much money to go around for other players and stay under the salary cap.  Additionally, from management's stand point, since there's no better option, the player often has more leverage in contract negotiations.  Quality quarterbacks don't exactly grow on trees.  Half the teams in the league (or more) are looking for one right now.

@Glenn I’m taking by the end of the first quarter.

 

There used to be the ‘Madden curse’ where the guy on the cover of the new Madden game has a terrible season. Now it seems like there’s a new contract curse with QBs. Cousins, Rogers last year, and Love this year so far. Who else am I missing?

I think McCaffrey is on the front of it right now.

This curse only seems to be for QBs. 😁

McCaffrey is reported to be working through a calf/Achilles injury but is expected to play tomorrow night’s game.

Prescott signed a 4 year/240 mil contract this morning. That now puts him at 60 mil/year starting next season, surpassing the most recent contracts of Burrow, Love, and Lawrence.

Love this signing.  Just like I loved the Romo signings over the years.  They are horrible at managing the cap and always extend players who put up regular season stats but can't win in the postseason.

Thanks a lot Bungals.  You eliminated me in week 1 from TWO eliminator contests.

 

78% of all participants are out in week 1.

The Chefs are going to be salty this year.

 

They have very much improved their receiving corps, have an additional tight-end, Pachecco runs like a beast, have a great defensive coordinator...and have Mahomes.

 

Guy at work is a huge KC fan...says the new nickname is "Hat-trick-Mahomes."

 

Great googly moogly

My prediction: Seahawks will go 10-7....one better than last season.

Whelp, I might be wrong!  The Hawks are definitely in "rebuilding" mode.  Wow, what a comedy of errors.  I'm surprised they squeezed out a win.

 

I've said many times before that Geno Smith is NOT a franchise QB, and boy did he ever prove that again today, especially in the first half.  I've also said many times before that the Hawks O-Line is terrible, and today they were awful.  

 

A lot of talent on the field, but they're definitely not playing as a team. Based off today, I'll revise my prediction to 7-9.

 

It's going to be a very long season.

I’m a Niners fan and I approve this message 😀.  However like you said it’s s a long season and the Niners have yet to play. Just got to see how it starts to shake out after 6-8 games.

 

In other news, after Thursday night’s game it’s good to see the NFL officials are continuing to crack down on offensive lineman lining up in the backfield. 
 

And after one game my March 12th post is looking pretty good, considering how Cousins day went…

He’s out for tonight’s game. Musta had a setback in warmups.

Mason seems to be picking up the slack. Gotta go with the side of caution at this stage of the season with McCaffrey, when all’s good he’ll be on the field.

[Bird]

Mason is actually looking like McCaffrey......shanahan a genius.

[J._Bricker]

27-10 at half? I gotta say this is surprising 

[12poundbass]

@J._Bricker my Bills are looking good!

Absolutely, kinda taking Miami’s defense apart.

[Glenn]

TNF ....the curse continues. I feel bad for Al Michaels.

[gim]

I think Tua may be done for good.  Isn't this his 4th concussion in 3 years or something?  You can only take so many of those before you have permanent brain damage.  The backup QB looked completely unprepared too.

[Bird]

Tua got his guaranteed money so I'll say he's done.

Also heard a report that he had a few concussions before the NFL.

[J._Bricker]

@gimruis and @Bird, I think a lot of discussion is taking place with Tua, particularly given the circumstances involving Junior Seau, who first comes to mind, and current CTE information.

[TnRiver46]

I know he got destroyed once when playing at Alabama, broke his hip and also looked like his bell got rung badly. They never reported a concussion for that instance but it sure looked like one

Apparently not! He’s out for week 2 also

If anything they’d like him as close to 100% for the game with LA in LA. Guerendo might get a few snaps as well.
