~2020 NFL Season Thread~

18 minutes?  Is it a video of every play of his career?!?

He started 10 games in his career. 1 as a Soph and then the 9 as a Jr (missed first 3 games that year with a foot injury).

Not every play- but a lot. I recommend everyone who never saw him play and doubts him watch it. 

His talent was insane. His arm strength was ridiculous but he had natural touch and accuracy and he could throw accurate darts on the run and across his body with ease. He had so many jaw dropping passes like that. His talent really was just ridiculous. 

He should be a cautionary tale to any hotshot young QB recruit trying to dabble in baseball. Pick one or the other and stick to it. Impossible to do both.

I'm so thankful that Bo hasn't been forgotten.  Him being in Madden as a legendary player has probably helped more than anything else.

Rodgers has a salary-cap charge of $36.3 million in 2021 and $39.9 million in 2022. If he and the team were to go their separate ways after the 2021 season, the Packers would save $22.648 million in salary-cap space but would have to count $17.204 million in dead money. If they moved on after this season, they would save only $4.76 million on the cap and have $31.556 million in dead money.

Despite being at the top of his game and knowing full well the status of his contract, Rodgers spoke with some uncertainty about the future.

"It's a good question," Rodgers said when asked what's next for him. "I don't know; I really don't. There's a lot of unknowns going into this offseason now.

I think Tecmo Bowl still holds sway as well

I never liked that game.  Running around in a zigzag and throwing to receivers I couldn't see made it feel dumb.  I was in the minority, of course.
Hell, I played the first 1-2 Maddens pretending they were college teams.

Different animal. QB is the single hardest position to play in all of sports. Can’t compare anything to it. 

You can play RB or CB just off sheer athleticism and instinct for the positions alone. You simply just cannot do that at QB.

To this day he is the greatest raw athlete I’ve ever seen. Don’t think anyone is close. 

His combination of size, power, acceleration, and top end speed is something we may never see again. 

He is the only guy I’ve ever seen that I feel like could’ve legitimately been a Hall of Famer in two professional sports. Insane.

I'd say that, with catcher and goalie (hockey) in the team picture.

Ummmm......that’s too weird for me.

Please Mdot full stop we're not talking Jim Thorpe or Bo Jackson,he went down swinging in one sport and took a knee in another.I'll listen to  the yoddeling on about Brady but not a coulda/woulda/shoulda because he looked the part in a jock.Jim Henson had as much pro success between the lines as Drew Henson

You ever play 10 Yard Fight?  Or, NFL Football on Intellivision?  Tecmo Bowl was a gigantic leap from those games.  When Super Tecmo Bowl came out with all the teams and stats I thought I had died and gone to heaven.
