Taylor is an absolute bum. If he wasn't cheating and holding the entire game he would've given up 5 sacks.

Rex Ryan went off on Taylor and the NFL today, it was great to see. No way the NFL is going to let that loser cheat anymore- he's been getting ripped all over national sports media by everyone from Peter King to Dan Patrick to Pat McAfee. He'll be washed up out of the league within 3 years now that he can't cheat and KC is going to have to eat that god awful contract they gave him.

I think it actually hurts Trayvon Walker, because if he doesn't feast and isn't a disruptive game wrecker in the game like Hutch was (in spite of being cheated) people in Jax are going to say damnit we took the wrong guy at #1. And a lot of them were already saying it. Said it before and I'll say it again, THANK GOD Trent Baalke's awful useless ass is their GM and he F**KED that draft up and gifted Hutchinson to the Lions.

I'll admit I was wrong.  I wanted Kayvon.  Hitch was the more complete player, But I never thought he would be an elite pass rusher, and in the NFL, I questioned how valuable run stopping would be.  But he's still solid against the run, and he has already surpassed what I thought he could be as a pass rusher.  I just don't get how it took the Lions half a season to figure out how he liked to line up

At least UMs Peacock game was a meaningless game against ECU.  MSU-Iowa is our Peacock game

time will tell if MSU-Iowa is meaningless or not

saw it at Michigan after only 2 years starting- knew he was going to be at the very least a dude in the NFL and his combine is what made me think he would be elite- he's a better pure athlete than either of the Bosa's- and his NFL combine showed that.

His Amazon NextGen Stats Combine overall athleticism score was a 93, which was highest of any EDGE prospect in the 2022 draft. His RAS (raw athletic score) is one of the top 20 highest ever for a DE in combine history from 1987 to 2022 (out of a possible 14,113 DE's). Pretty much the only test he wasn't elite at and the only physical trait of his that wasn't elite: arm length and his 40 time- and his 40 time was still a 4.74- which is still among the very highest percentile for DE's (slight tick behind TJ Watt, better than JJ Watt and both Bosa bros) but not freakish like Montez Sweat, Trayvon Walker, or Rashan Gary. Literally every other one of his testing # of his though- freakish- and among the very best of DE prospects ever. His 6.73 second 3-cone time was the fastest time for a guy over 6'4 at an NFL combine in over 20 years- and it was the 3rd fastest time at the entire 2022 combine (behind a pair of WRs) and his 20-yard shuttle time of 4.15 seconds was 2nd fastest at the entire 2022 combine- the only guy who beat it was a 5'9 WR who and weighed almost 90 pounds less. He was a WAY better athlete than people were giving him credit for....and oh yeah he's 6'6+, 270 and put up 28 reps of 225- he's got elite size and strength for the position. If only his arms were an inch longer and he ran 4.54- he'd have been the #1 pick. Lol. Thank GOD Trent Baalke is an idiot.

They lined him up all over the field yesterday, Rush LB, hand in the dirt DE, DT, ILB....and he was looking great everywhere. STUD.

I mean, it is.  It shouldn't be, but it is.  Hell Colorado-Nebraska is meaningless.  Georgia-Ball State, despite the outcome being all but certain, is a more meaningful game

[FearlessF]

well, we still have divisions this season and Iowa could be in the running for the West

that would mean something to some folks

I hope Jordan Love sucks. Packers don’t need to go another 10-15 years with an awesome QB. 

These mfs went 30 years with a HOF QB. Time they feel the rest of our pain. 

[Mdot21]

probably the natural reaction to have when you see Aaron Donald barreling down on you....

Even the Colts had Luck retire early

Eagles go on the road and beat the Pats, and Jalen Hurts will no doubt get sucked off for it even though he completed 22 passes on 33 attempts for a whopping....170 yards.

Hurts is so overrated. Yes, he is good. But he should be good...he plays on the most stacked roster in the NFL. Eagles have two #1 WRs, a top 5 TE, the best OL in the NFL and of the the best defenses that features the best d-line in the NFL.

He's not the 3rd best player in the entire NFL like NFL Network's Top 100 had him pegged at. He's a really good starting NFL QB. But that's about it. He's not on the same level as Mahomes, Burrows, Herbert, Josh Allen, Trevor Lawerence, Lamar Jackson, Matt Stafford, or even Tua. He's just not. He's like a way more athletic version of Jared Goff- or in other words- a really good starting NFL QB.

plus Peyton also missed an entire season with injury.

Favre never missed a game in like 16 or 17 years as the starter there and I don’t know if Rodgers missed like more than 10 games in 16 or 17 years as the starter there. 

Its unreal. If they get another perennial All-Pro/Pro Bowl type QB in Love for the next 15 years I’m pretty sure someone in that organization sold their soul to the devil to accomplish that.

Is that why JB had more TFL,sacks and 5 less combined tackles in 3 yrs than Hutch had in 4 during College?
