2018 NFL Season Chatter

I think there are going to be a lot of QB's moving around this offseason (Eli, Bortles, Flacco, Bridgewater, maybe Carr) too.

These guys swapping teams or any leads to where these guys are headed?

Likely swapping teams. I've heard Flacco could land in Miami (guess add Tannehill to that list) with either Bridgewater or Carr to the NYG's. If Gruden sends Carr to NY, that would help out Barkley/OBJ significantly, I'd think. Eli probably replacing Bortles and who knows who'd want Bortles.

What about Kap? /geeblock'd

Can the Bengals get a new QB while we're at it? And head coach? And owner?

It has oddly been quiet on that front.

I doubt Jay Gruden becomes available, but if he does, I'd think he'd be a lock.

Also think they can win with Dalton but not with Marvin. Just don't think Dalton will take you to a championship.

Also, not that he's anything special, but how shitty is it for the Titans that Mariota may sit and they have to go with Gabbert in this big of a game? I still have the Colts winning either way but still shitty that Tennessee would have to go into a gun fight with a water pistol.

Not that many will cry over this but it sounds possible that Vontaze Burfict's career may be over after suffering his seventh concussion on Sunday.

He's a POS for sure, but he should legit retire. Concussions are no joke, and I wish him the best cognative health going forward.

He is maybe the most punishing tackler I’ve ever watched. He wasn’t the same guy this year at all. Last year was showing some signs. But damnit if you needed someone to knock a Steelers star player out of the playoffs...he’s your guy. Twice ended LeVeon Bell’s season and knocked AB out for one too and it killed them losing at Denver during Peyton Manning’s Final SB Championship.

For about 5-6 years Burfict was one outstanding, scary ass LB. The concussion number isn’t surprising at all and hopefully he can lead a pretty normal post NFL life...but I’m not sure that is possible after having 7 concussions. He punished others but got himself a lot as well.

That's why the concussions to Denzel Ward scare me. He's had two already, as a rookie. The guy is very small in stature. The way he got up from the concussion on Sunday was pretty concerning. I thought he was going to collapse on the field. Can't imagine what 7 would be like. When Ron Jaworski played for the Eagles, he claimed to have had over 30 of them.

You are right (for the reasons Ironman mentioned in his post).

Yeah, no way. I bet he didn’t have more than 3-5

It's actually kind of relieving because he's lost a step, but it's like injuries have to happen in order for the Bengals to not ride these bums well into the ground (see: Pacman Jones).

I'd give Dalton another shot if they moved on from Marvin. Problem is they probably move onto Hue, and how much is he going to help anything.

He did have his best year under Hue to be fair.

I think his weapons were heathy then too. Boyd/Green/Eifort....to go with good rb in Mixon.

From the outside it seems like they’ve had playoff type talent most of very year the past 13 seasons.

Dalton's best yr is like a top 26 QB tho. It's time to move on from:

• Dalton
• AJ Green
• Marvin
• Hue
• Their entire Def
• Eifert
• Their OTs

If I'm the bengals I trade off what I can for assets and rebuild hard.

How many more years of Brown being a cheapskate before the franchise might have to move? I do t know how that stuff works at all but that stadium was empty and most NFL people I associate with in daily life are Bengals fans.....they mostly aren’t even interested. Completely fed up.

Besides Brown, the recurring theme there has been Marvin. The list COA posted is his second wave of talent. Between that list and the Palmer/Ocho/TJ Housh days, they should've at least "dumb lucked" their way into one playoff win.
