SP buggin' with those wishes.

If that's how it's gonna be, then I hope that good Cooter gets flabby & sick experiencing a hot summer in Detroit. Returns to training camp extra loose and burns Stafford.

Every single one of those dudes came at a team-friendly discount. We all know Kraft and Belichick don't shop for toys unless they can get 'em at Walmart prices.

My favorite hire thus far in Philly's early offseason. Schwartz is one of those guys that makes a far better coordinator than HC. His hiring bodes extremely well for Simba's growth moving forward.

Don't think we discussed, but I much preferred Teryl Austin to replace Chip rather than Pederson. Eagles allegedly interviewed him in '13 and '16. Curious what Lurie saw and didn't like. Austin has PA roots, went to college at Pitt and was a GA at Penn State. Loved his defensive work with Detroit and Baltimore's secondary previously.
 
wonder what Pederson is gonna do with the QB situation.

also.

all the head coaching vacancies are locked up right?

i wonder if any reached out to McDaniels before making their decisions
 
Is this the appropriate place for cliches about football being too soft now when it used to be for real men and how the game has been ruined and it's now flag football, or no?
 
Yo I'm watching the Namath doc on HBO...the man was a straight goon. :lol:


Dude was JFF x 10, thriving on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday night in NYC. Teammates said they couldn't stand next to him in the huddle bc he smelt like Johnny Walker on Sundays during the game. Man.

Dude was the man.

Best Deep Passer: Ben Roethlisberger, Pittsburgh Steelers

Deep passing stats are often skewed by the quality of the wide receiver, as downfield throws involve more tracking, hand fighting, and positioning than shorter throws. So looking at the stats is not always the best way to determine the best deep-ball thrower, but our grades take into consideration the timing and ball location of each throw, as well as crediting the quarterback for well-placed passes that are dropped. For that reason, Roethlisberger was the league’s best downfield thrower, as he consistently launched well-placed passes all season. He led the league with a +27.4 grade on passes thrown at least 20 yards in the air (0.0 is average).

Runner-up: Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals

Best Intermediate Passer: Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals

This is where Palmer dominated, grading at +45.1 at the intermediate level. Between the numbers, he was 58-for-79 for 998 yards, six touchdowns, and two interceptions, good for a passer rating of 130.1.

Runner-up:  Tom Brady, New England Patriots

Best Short Passer: Tom Brady, New England Patriots

Brady is always among the league’s best in the short game, and he topped the grades again in 2015. His accuracy percentage of 84.4 percent ranked fifth in the league, and his 22 touchdowns led the NFL.

Runner-up:  Andy Dalton, Cincinnati Bengals

Best Under Pressure: Carson Palmer, Arizona Cardinals

Palmer’s +14.6 grade under pressure led the league, and his passer rating of 92.2 ranked second.

Runner-up:  Tom Brady, New England Patriots

Most Elusive: Doug Martin, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Martin rejuvenated his career by grading as our top runner while also leading with an elusive rating of 65.7. He forced a league-high 57 missed tackles and picked up 3.1 yards after contact per rush.

Runner-up:  Mark Ingram, New Orleans Saints

Best Hands: Jason Witten, Dallas Cowboys 

With all due respect to Jeremy Maclin of the Kansas City Chiefs (two drops in the last two seasons on 184 catchable passes), Witten didn’t drop any of his 77 catchable passes, so he gets the nod. Credit Maclin, however, who turned his once perceived average hands into the league’s best among wide receivers.

Runner-up:  Jeremy Maclin, Kansas City Chiefs

Best Deep Threat: Allen Robinson, Jacksonville Jaguars

No wide receiver helped his quarterback as much as Robinson, who led the league with 672 yards on deep passes, a PFF record dating back to 2007. Whether running away from defenders or leaping over them to extend a drive, Robinson made big plays happen all season long for the Jaguars.

Runner-up:  Sammy Watkins, Buffalo Bills

Best Slot Receiver: Doug Baldwin, Seattle Seahawks

Baldwin ran away with all of the slot awards this year, leading in yards (1,007), touchdowns (12), and yards per route run (2.46). He also caught a league-high 83.1 percent of his slot targets.

Runner-up:  Larry Fitzgerald, Arizona Cardinals

Most Disciplined: Andrew Norwell, Carolina Panthers

Norwell played 834 snaps without committing a penalty, the only guard to play at least 500 snaps and avoid any flags.

Runner-up:  Rob Havenstein, St. Louis Rams

Iron Man: James Laurinaitis, St. Louis Rams

With 1,183 snaps, Laurinaitis saw more action than any linebacker in the league, and for the seventh straight year of his career, he played more than 99.0 percent of team’s snaps.

Runner-up:  J.J. Watt, Houston Texans

Best Tackler: Corey Graham, Buffalo Bills

Graham had only three missed tackles on 104 attempts, one every 35.7 attempts. It was the best rate among linebackers and safeties.

Runner-up:  K.J. Wright, Seattle Seahawks

Ball Hawk: Delvin Breaux, New Orleans Saints

Breaux had 15 passes defended and three interceptions, getting his hand on 22.0 percent of his 82 targets to lead the league.

Runner-up:  Johnathan Joseph, Houston Texans

Best Blitzer: Dont’a Hightower, New England Patriots

Hightower led all linebackers with a 94.0 pass rush rating, picking up four sacks, two hits, and 18 hurries on 116 rushes. Even though some of that came as a pure edge rusher, few linebackers attack the “A” gap like Hightower.

Runner-up:  Anthony Barr, Minnesota Vikings

Best run-stopping safety: Reshad Jones, Miami Dolphins

Jones set a PFF record with 38 run stops, and he finished with the top grade against run among safeties.

Runner-up:  Harrison Smith, Minnesota Vikings
