2014 Preseason Thread

That GIF is why it's so hard to trust Washington. I love adding Desean Jackson, and Breeland looks like an impact corner. But it's a much bigger drop from RG3 to Kirk Cousins than most people think it is. Ceiling goes from NFC East champs to maybe 7-9. Then again that might win that crappy division.

I'm disappointed in Johnny Football.

so business as usual

Possibly even worse. The Browns' biggest problem is they haven't been bad enough to get a great quarterback, so they've settled for the Weeden's. The Browns were generally considered one of the winners of the draft, so Farmer may actually know what he's doing. A 2-win season could help them a lot more than the typical 4-5 wins. Manziel may not be ready, and Hoyer may not be 100% this season. I'd prefer no 0-win season, but 2 would be okay with me.

He has GOT to keep himself healthy. If he stays healthy for 16 games and plays the way he played in 2012, we got a shot.

I'm screaming at the TV for him to slide everytime but he always tries to take on contact. You're not Cam Newton or Colin Kaepernick man, get the **** down!

What's worse though is, even when he tries to slide, he is terrible at it. Hell he might get himself more injured trying to slide because he's so awkward at it. I hope as soon as baseball season ends for the Nats that someone from their organization teaches RG3 to slide.

I love his competitiveness, and that's part of what makes him special, but he doesn't do us any good on Injured Reserve.

RG3 won't make it through the season playing pinball like that.

Devonte Holloman forced to retire in his second season with a neck injury. Man that sucks. Really liked him as a player, had him rated higher than Jarvis Jones. Such a smart, savvy player. Had a great time talking Xs and Os with him at the Shrine Game in '13, he was all business but very engaging.

Also sucks for Dallas, which now consists of Barry Church and absolute garbage behind their front 4 up the gut.

Bradford out for year. Raji out for year. One of those teams mith actually benefit from it. Hint: it isn't the Packers.

The Falcons might end this preseason with as many penalties as they had in all of 2012. It's so frustrating to watch light contact get called constantly and then the refs seem to miss most of the obvious muggings.

I don't care much for preseason, but boy has the Niners offense looked pathetic. O-line play looked very suspect against the Chargers.

RG3 looks...bad. Like, real bad. It was alarming. He was slow, missed throws, missed open receivers, lost yards when he could have easily thrown it away, just generally looked like a terrible QB. He looked decent the first two preseason games, but was absolutely awful on Saturday. It sucks because the Defense looks like it could actually be pretty good this year, I really hope we don't waste another season because of bad QB play. We've got the skill players on offense to be able to put up points. Really hope RG3 gets his act together...

Something in my gut tells me that Cousins is going to end up in St. Louis.
