  • In need of a veteran running back, the Detroit Lions hosted Stevan Ridley on Tuesday. The tailback had a disappointing 2015 coming off an ACL injury, but should be 100 percent in 2016.

    • Colin Kaepernick is being compared to post-AFC Championship Bernie Kosar. That's not a good sign.

      Here is Colin Kaepernick’s ANY/A average in each of the last four years: That is not a very promising graph. Last year, I wrote about how Kaepernick, Cam Newton, and RG3 were a unique trio of young quarterbacks who had declined in two consecutive years. Well, 2015 was where those quarterbacks diverged: Newton won the


      Kosar is probably the best comparison for Kaepernick, even if stylistically the two were very, very different. Kosar was a very talented quarterback physically, as is Kaepernick. Kosar reached three conference championship games by the age of 26; Kaepernick reached two and the Super Bowl by that age. Kosar’s decline was pretty significant, too: he led the NFL in ANY/A in ’87, was just above-average in ’88 and ’89, and then far below average in ’90. Kaepernick ranked 2nd in ANY/A1 in 2012, was above average in ’13, below average in ’14, and then bad in ’15. Overall, Kosar ranked just 14th out of 22 quarterbacks in ANY/A from ’87 to ’90 despite the dominant first season in that stretch, while Kaepernick ranked 22nd out of 36 from ’12 to ’15.
      Kosar was hurt, both a leg injury I think and an elbow problem. CK might be hurt as well. However, I suspect his team, coach and GM are responsible for the last year of his drop. We'll see.
      Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

        The NFL Network reported this morning that The Chiefs are now concerned that DE Justin Houston may be lost for the 2016 season. If this is the case that would place considerable pressure on a weak Chiefs Secondary.

        Justin Houston has 56 Sacks in 5 seasons. He's recovered 4 fumbles.

        • Now that we've reached present day in Dave Dameshek's evaluation of the Super Bowl era's best QBs, it's time for a change at the top. Does Tom Brady or Peyton Manning reign supreme?


          I am not old enough to remember Brett's Superbowl appearances. Do you Rats agree with the top 5?

            You are making me feel old.

            I don't know if I'd place Brett that high but definitely top 10. Bart isn't getting enough love tbh.

            • Boy oh boy. That is a flawed list. The SB era, IMO, should be parsed further into at least two if not three different sub eras.

                  Shit like this. Our society needs an enema in the worst way. A good Alien Invasion or the return of ravening hordes of Smilodons or Terminators or something to rid us of these fucktards.

                  • Sports has all gotten ridiculous. It's turning into some interactive computer game where everyone thinks it's set on "easy" mode and your team should win the SB every year. And it's done under the macho guise of "I don't accept losing as okay" which is complete bullshit.
