Evaluate the rookie or young QBs you were able to watch so far this week. Trevor Siemian (Denver) The Good: Solid arm strength and poise, conducts drives that accumulate yardage and aid in the field position battle, knows his role. The Bad: Has a tendency to make huge mistakes because of...

  Week 1 @ Tennessee This looks like a classic trap game for a Vikings team that, even without Teddy Bridgewater, should believe that they are a better all around team than Tennessee. If Minnesota can keep the Titans running game in check, I expect Shaun Hill to do just enough to escape...

NFC North:   This particular grouping was very difficult.   1. Clay Matthews (Green Bay): Until Anthony Barr stays healthy, this is not a discussion.    2. Anthony Barr (Minnesota): Man oh man, can this guy play. He can line up at any linebacker spot, can blitz from anywhere with success, can...

The sheer amount of injuries suffered by NFL players before the season even begins, whether that's in training camp or mandatory/voluntary workouts beforehand, is startling and unprecedented. You don't see this at other levels of football. Practice injuries happen at other levels, but not at...

NFC North   1a. Harrison Smith (Minnesota)--there was really no question, here.    1b. Glover Quin (Detroit)--there was really no question, here.   3. Ha Ha Clinton Dix (Green Bay)--I personally don't think he's great on every down, but he's a splash play waiting to happen.   4. Morgan Burnett...

NFC North:   1. Slay (Detroit)--Established himself as the best corner in the division quite decisively. These other guys aren't extremely far behind but Slay's the best right now.   2a. Rhodes (Minnesota)--He would be an elite corner if he'd get some damned interceptions, but he doesn't get a...

As a Vikings fan, I'll take the NFC North: PLEASE NOTE: This was an off the top of my head idea that I typed up in 5-10 minutes, so if there is anybody glaringly missing, it is not intentional.     Quarterback: 1. Rodgers (Green Bay) 2. Stafford (Detroit) 3. Cutler (Chicago)--Please note that...

Try to avoid obvious guys unless you have a very specific reason. For example, I'm not going to list Adrian Peterson even if he'll probably have a great rushing season because you already know that.     Offense: Andre Smith--with the retirement of Phil Loadholdt, it'll be interesting to see if...

Take each division and place all 4 teams where you think they'll end up. Don't mess with records because it's hard to make sure what you're saying is realistic.   AFC:   East: Patriots Jets Bills Dolphins   West: Broncos Raiders Chiefs Chargers   North: Ravens Steelers Bengals Browns   South...

Country artist David Nail just released a new studio album, Fighter. The title track is about how his wife stands by him when he's in the grips of depression. 2 or 3 weeks before the album's release last Friday, Nail's team started releasing video's with FIGHTER stories from people who've...

http://www.theplayerstribune.com/am-i-about-to-die/   Lockette was an unheralded receiver and special teams stud. He was just starting to get first team reps on the outside when he got injured. He was big, fast, had a great catch radius, and always seemed to make plays when he was at receiver...

    Hopefully we hear more details about this sometime soon. All indications are that Draymond is a class act off the court so I'm assuming he was being harassed by this other individual. Maybe I'll be dead wrong but that's what I'd bet $ on.

It's almost the middle of July, and once the month turns over we'll be staring down the barrel of the preseason. As of right know, what's the worst record your team could have in 2016? What's the best record they could have? Vikings Worst 7-9 Reason: full-on Bridgewater implosion Best 13-3...

Vent about your team in this thread. As for me, I'm really starting to hate the Houston Rockets organization top to bottom. Over the years, the Alexander family have been good owners, but an unwillingness to recognize the utter shittiness of Daryl Morey has me concerned. Morey is renowned in...

I'm sure it'd be more work than it's worth but how does everybody feeling about a Sports Venting subforum? I really think people would use it express their biggest issues with their organizations, players, etc. For instance, I'm about to post about Houston being a shit show, but I think it'd be...

Assume you have ideal personnel--what are your philosophies in regard to getting the most out of your team? Offensively, I like changing formations between possessions, throwing new things at defenses. Primarily I'm a fan of under center, single back, with play action. If I'm going to use a FB...

Evaluate your team's positional groups with a general grade scale.     Quarterback (Teddy Bridgewater, Shaun Hill): B- The quarterback position in Minnesota is adequate with a solid starter with room to improve and one of the better backup quarterbacks in the league. It's not where it needs to...
