I love Henry a lot, he helped me improve a lot in my finishing
I remember my coach back in Germany made me watch a lot of clips of Henry’s movement and how he uses his pace and how he finishes
celest zephyr
really changed the way I play (tho I moved into a RB/LB because I was much better in defending and crosses)

I see so much of Robben in Mo dude
That cut in from the right side to the far end of the net finish

Which foot are you
celest zephyr
Both
I don’t really know but I’m right foot dominant
It’s just that I spent a lot of time practicing my left foot, I’m comfortable in both

I love playing LB more because I can cut in
burnt cedar
Could pass with it but just was secure in my right foot, I knew I could always get back on it no matter what the opposition did

right foot as well, have a garbage left foot

Busquets is the best comp I can give of myself

Left foot and long inner sleeves

honestly, quite true
celest zephyr
that’s a jackpot

Long sleeves and gloves was needed by everyone due to the weather

Getting humbled on an away day is the worst
You have to think about it on the journey home

In Japan we have this running joke among football playing students and when the opponent has a neck warmer pre-match, he is a youth team player
so we are always on a look out

You have to think about it on the journey home
I didn’t get ridiculed because everyone thought the same
They’ll get exposed if they tried to match up against him

Ever since then I spent more time in the gym to improve my physical game

A lot of our current Japanese NT players played futsal at youth
Vlahovic when he was a kid is too relentless
absolute menace
I’d wish to have a drip of that ability when I was younger 
Japan started promoting more futsal in the younger age because we really need to play technically than physically since we don’t have much physical players
First ones to be known for their ability in futsal was Nakata

Oh god, now Raider fans are thinking because Stafford won a SB after leaving the Lions the Raiders justify paying Carr that much. You know Stafford, the same guy who had a great offense around him and yet still led the league in INTs this year.
dim kettle
I'm telling you, this SB suddenly making the media think Stafford is HOF material. you can argue the dude wasn't even a top 10 QB for most of his career.
celest zephyr
carr is good sure but unless they build a really good team around him the ceiling is just a decent playoff team
he doesn't have the accolades or hardware
its just hall of very good if he makes it at this point
rustic ore
Which he wouldn't but still
dim kettle
Carr is a good QB. Has a great arm when he actually uses it. But the dude makes terrible decisions when it actually matters. He's always gonna be remembered for throwing a ball away on 4th down.
rustic ore
Unfortunately for Stafford as good as he is he had to play in the same era as guys like Brady, Rodgers, Wilson, Brees, so on and so forth
Now he certainly could have a second half resurgence in LA but if he retired today he would never get in the Hall, I'd be willing to bet money on that
dim kettle
QBs with their peaks during Matthew Stafford's career Tom Brady, Drew Brees, Aaron Rodgers, Russell Wilson, Ben Roethlisberger, Philip Rivers, Eli Manning, Matt Ryan, Tony Romo, Andrew Luck.
celest zephyr
that's dumb but tbh i dislike the current trend of qbs holding the ball too long trying to make a miracle play
like just throw it away or at a reciever's feet if there's nothing there
haughty moss
35M? hell nah lol
rustic ore
Right?
dim kettle
Matthew Stafford could end up a HOF candidate someday, especially if he continues to produce for a contending team for the next several years. But people thinking he's HOF material now just because he won one SB is really lowering the bar for the HOF.
rustic ore
Carr is above average at best and about to be paid borderline elite money because Raiders gonna Raider
Agreed
celest zephyr
yeah if he continues to have good stats for the rams for several years then maybe
but honestly don't like guys getting in solely out of statpadding in a long career
rustic ore

The Raiders excuse is probably "At least it's not JaMarcus Russell."

celest zephyr

rustic ore
Sorry for the ping
But back to Carr tbf you could do significantly worse than him at QB
But for 35+ you could do so much better
dim kettle
Let's face it, the Raiders only got him because the Texans didn't want another Carr at QB.
haughty moss
Gotta accept your position once you throw out those Ms
celest zephyr
same as matt ryan in 2020. over 4500 yard to only win 4 games
dim kettle
Like, you aren't gonna get another 2016 out of Carr, it's all but inevitable at this point.
celest zephyr
just overpaying to have a bandaid solution
i'd call them dumb but some fools are probably going to pay jimmy g like 25 million
rustic ore
same as matt ryan in 2020. over 4500 yard to only win 4 games
Can I just say I was honestly impressed that the Falcons did as well as they did this past season.
A 3 game improvement with a roster that bad and a 1st year HC/GM? Not too shabby
haughty moss
Falcons FO don't know what their doing
celest zephyr
same. really the big difference was going from sucking in close games to being one of the best at them
dim kettle
Like, the Raiders at this point are far gone from the days when out of touch Al Davis was running the franchise into the ground like Vince McMahon is doing now with the WWE today.
rustic ore
Falcons FO don't know what their doing
Yeah but they had a 1st year GM who inherited a mess, you can't just clean that in 1 offseason
celest zephyr
the raiders had a good season. overpaying carr would be a mistake
haughty moss
I'm aware just saying they have been a mess for years
celest zephyr
why else would there be a 7 part documentary on them
dim kettle
The problem is the Falcons had the chance to trade Matt Ryan to a contender and get a Trey Lance, Mac Jones, or Justin Fields. Now, it's all questionmarks for them.
haughty moss
Now you got an aging QB and a top tier pick with somehow 1 TD
celest zephyr
heck they probably would have picked him if the 49ers took fields
still believe that a qb developing under matt ryan would have been amazing but eh
rustic ore
The problem is the Falcons had the chance to trade Matt Ryan to a contender and ...
And they're probably gonna have to trade or cut Ridley because he either has personal issues he needs to deal with or is just done with ATL.
dim kettle
That's been the problem with the Falcons the last 20 years though. They refuse to rebuild completely and it has cause them big.
celest zephyr
oh but 28-3. look at how close they were to a ring
haughty moss
"We're not rebuilding" - Falcons

Like, Rich McKay is still president of the Falcons. Like, it blows my mind how much Arthur Blank doesn't give a shit sometimes.
celest zephyr
"We're not rebuilding" - Falcons
We are merely pretending to be relevant
haughty moss
but what do we know 💯
celest zephyr
pitts was one of the dumbest picks that draft
dim kettle
"We only do enough to win more than 4 games a year."
celest zephyr
he's a good player but who's throwing it to him in like two years
rustic ore
Yup
dim kettle
When the Lions do a better job with their old QB than you.
haughty moss
Falcons gonna draft another playmaker for mismatches just for that guy to get 1 target a game
dim kettle
pitts was one of the dumbest picks that draft
I know I was very active in saying the Falcons were jackasses if they were gonna draft Pitts over a young QB. And now Pitts is gonna be going down the path of Tony Gonzalez. All wasted talent in their prime.
rustic ore
Also a good comp
haughty moss
Terrible too cuz I like Pitts but man being on that franchise
Oh didn't notice they fired their WR coach
celest zephyr
spending a premium pick on a guy only to barely use him
dim kettle
Now we wait to see the Falcons try to sign quick fixes to their problems that blow up in their faces like they always do.
celest zephyr
why not draft a qb? he could only do trick plays and kneel and still do as much
falcons proceed to sign jimmy g for 2 years 40 mill
dim kettle
I can see it now, Falcons sign Ronald Jones. He'll improve the running game.
Only to fumble on almost every carry.
If that isn't it. The Falcons will probably sign a Allen Robinson to only play 4 games before having a long term injury.
celest zephyr
or saquon
dim kettle
And add a Ndamukong Suh. Because "SB experience"
haughty moss
why not draft a qb? he could only do trick plays and kneel and still do as much
Something many ppl thought should have happened but didn't.
Another top 10 pick they'll prob go another position again
dim kettle
I'm convinced if he wasn't a fucking idiot, they would've ran Michael Vick into the ground the same way they're doing with Ryan.
celest zephyr
third rate organizations just become more of a third rate organization

I see the Falcons more of a second rate one. They do enough good to not be third rate but they do enough stupid shit to not be consider 1st rate.

more of his terrible contract than anything else
don't know why a team would take it on
wet onyx
yes his contract is terrible but i still think they stick with him
celest zephyr
they probably do
don't know why anyone should touch watson even with a 10 meter long pole
and the qb market is filled with qbs that aren't better than kirk
wet onyx
not saying anything by this but if we’re talking about purely deshauns nfl skill and nothing else, hes easily top 3

Considering how much red jerseys were in that stadium a few weeks ago. It's not because they're limited
dim kettle
It's simple. LA didn't have a team for 20+ years and those people in the area are either Raider or Niner fans. Again, it's that exact reason they picked the Chargers over the Raiders. Stan didn't want the Raiders out shinning his team

Guess that is true

That state is also the size of the 6 states on the east coast. So understandable to have that much teams at one point.

I’ll take a SB over keeping our picks every year, some examples of the 32nd pick in the last few years include Nkeal Harry lmao
Plus ppl been saying that about Snead for over 6 years. He’s gotten them to 2 SBs and missed playoffs only once, it comes down to drafting well in the later rounds which he has
rustic mountain
Idk. Like yes you can miss but also expending draft picks like that results in situations where, rn it's working, but it won't really be reloading it will be a hard rebuild
New England's dynasty had its Harrys and Chad Jacksons, but also Chandler Jones, Donta Hightower, Devin McCourty, Joe Thuney, Rob Gronkowski, Matt Light, Richard Seymour, etc
Plus countless role players. I am not a gm but idk my two cents
honest umbra
But that’s what the rams have done well, drafting well in the 3rd rounds or later. And they have gotten multitudes for every time a coach of diversity has gotten poached from them as well. They don’t need end of first round players when they have found Kupp, Rapp, Young, traded for Miller), Burgess etc in later rounds
Like the team is too heavy with AD, Von, OBJ etc but the players they have been surrounded with are the role players they haven’t had to overpay

im not really that aware of the nba business side, but if the lakers wanted to buy out westbrook, how much would they pay?

Buy out Westbrook? Idk if they would do that. As terrible as he is
It's insane to me that he has regressed this hard

is it too early to say that their experiment with him has failed? we're 57 games in now

I sometimes forget the Jets are indeed playing in the NHL this year. Because they've done absolutely nothing this season.

oh the jets are 20-18-8
that's why
with the power of nhl ot points they somehow have a points percentage over .500

Love the speculation
There isn’t a more boring team and GM in the league than Chevy and the Jets

The Jets are still the Thrashers to me a decade later.

Chevy you have a decent team but need to freshen the squad a bit, maybe get younger, who will you acquire with all that cap space ?

I’m not confident again any team in the east but more than anything I’m hoping we don’t see Carolina, so yes

Carolina is a great team and all. But are they truly as good as they think they are? IDK. I would've thought last year would've been their chance but the Lightning handled them.

going to have to see in the playoffs
no team looks so good that they are a bit above the rest so far
robust grotto
No, I don’t think so either. But they do have really stingy numbers in terms of goals against

At this point, it's enough of Canes have the power to be a cup contender and actually do it for once.

i don't think so but no guarantee any team is that good this year

and not just i have no idea what i am talking about takes
that is also one of the worst top 5 lists i have seen
dim kettle
I'm convinced the dude made the list in 2 minutes.
The amount of people overrating Matthew Stafford because he won a single SB, (which he didn't play his best game, mind you.) is fucking silly af.
celest zephyr
herbert is better than rodgers
celest zephyr
how are herbert and stafford better than rodgers and mahomes LMAO
even allen is questionable
rustic mountain
Stafford nearly lost the nfc title game
And would have lost the sb if hadnt been for Aaron Donald
chilly flare
I don’t particularly root for Mahomes

guy saw the chiefs struggle early on in the season and mahomes not make the super bowl and went he ain't top 5

But he is Top 2 and he not 2

Rodgers in the regular season sure

It’ll be interesting to see how Russell Wilson bounces back

The bar has already gotten low considering they thought Bryant Young was a top 5 candidate for the HOF this year when he was the least qualified candidate out of the 15 chosen.
dim kettle
If he continues to go down the path he is now and wins more championships, he'll deserve a spot there. But the reality is in his prime you could argue he wasn't even a top 10 QB in the league.
Matt Ryan has more credibility than Stafford rn
sweet tree
dembouz booed lmao
celest zephyr
even if he does sure i guess but personally he wasn't close to the best in his prime so i'm iffy about it
tbf against stiff competition still hof players should still shine at some point at least
dim kettle
The most recent award that Stafford has gotten was comeback player of the year and that was over a decade ago. Like, he has all these passing yards but what exactly does that mean, what is the context of all those yards? He wasn't the most accurate guy, had multiple years where he's top 10 in INTs thrown. Lead the league in INTs this year.
I think he's like 5th in career INTs thrown among active QBs
robust grotto
RANGERS SUPREMACY???? @dim ledge
sweet tree
dortmund getting slapped huh
celest zephyr
championships also are a team stat
like sure i guess it can be considered a player being a winner but really imo that's more due to the player's performance in those games rather than just winning the games
robust grotto
uh we are looking closer to scoring I guess
That’s somewhat positive
celest zephyr
especially in the nfl where a guy plays only one side of the ball.
and even then just part of it. like a qb doesn't block, run routes, etc.
rustic mountain
Championships in the NFL can be misleading a bit
rustic mountain
I think they mean more in like the NBA. Less players
celest zephyr
even still dame isn't a choker because portland pretty much never built a contender around him
dim kettle
The HOF is suppose to reward the best of the best for the time period they played in. And Stafford could barely make it into the top 10 QBs in his prime.
celest zephyr
even in the nba a good player can only get you so far unless they can literally piggy back the entire team
for several series
yeh exactly. i have the same opinion in the nba. why have guys like lowry in the hof
dim kettle
Like, I hear people say Stafford played with inferior players in Detroit, Megatron was an inferior player? Really? A first ballot HOF? He spent 13 years in the league and in a league that is easier to get into the pro bowl with players opting out, Stafford has only had one fucking pro bowl appearance.
celest zephyr
hell mac jones has one
and stafford didn't do shit in the few times he made the playoffs
burrow has made one playoff run and has one less win than he has in his entire career
dim kettle
Really, all this shit reminds me of the Julian Edelman HOF discussions 5 years ago after they beat the Falcons. The media really believes any good player can get in the HOF.
robust grotto
HOF debates are cancerous man but all it takes is a few guys that are in this weird middle spot to taint everything
rustic mountain
Just make a "Hall of Pretty Good" lmao
robust grotto
I don’t like making HOF arguments for that reason. Gets so muddy so quick
rustic mountain
Because tbh even if I love Julian, dude is not a HOFer
robust grotto
Eli is going to be the one to make people go nuts
rustic mountain
Don't get me wrong there are years that he could have really bolstered his rep, like 2015 when he got hurt
robust grotto
If Eli gets in I don’t expect a lot of people to be happy
rustic mountain
I don't think Eli deserves to get in
celest zephyr
me neither
rustic mountain
His defense kept him in low scoring super bowls
robust grotto
Me neither but I won’t be shocked if he does
rustic mountain
Brady is literally a couple plays away from beating him in both
robust grotto
not gonna debate it
Just wanted to bring up someone that I believe will cause a lot of mayhem
rustic mountain
Stafford I think has had better years than Eli tbh
celest zephyr
can't wait for kirk cousins to somehow pad his stats for several more years and get an arguement for the hof when he gets traded to a good team
rustic mountain
But I am getting tired of players who are good getting conflated with actual HOFers
celest zephyr
just make the hall of good
rustic mountain
Stafford being in the hall dilutes it
celest zephyr
honestly only big ben has a real arguement out of these guys
robust grotto
Stafford won’t be in imo but there’s still more to his story
dim kettle
Eli is going to be the one to make people go nuts
Eli at least can say he won 2 SBs against Tom Brady and Bill's Pats teams. But even I don't even think he was top 10 QBs in his prime too.
celest zephyr
stafford doesn't even have better qb rating and qbr than rivers and kirk
sure but why does a guy who has been second tier at best deserve it
robust grotto
Eli at least can say he won 2 SBs against Tom Brady and Bill's Pats teams. But e...
Love the guy but that’s exactly how I feel. I promise you people will use his starter streak as a key reason for him to be in
rustic mountain
"Tom Brady won 7 titles, only missed the playoffs twice and one of those years was hurt, and went to 10 superbowls. HOF absolutely. And also there is 1 pro bowl, 1 super bowl Matt Stafford, no all pros Matt Stafford"
celest zephyr
tom brady shouldn't even have to be mentioned
robust grotto
I feel like we all agree
celest zephyr
just say look at whatever they use to write down the list and move on
rustic mountain
But that's the thing. It feels like the Hall should be for players like Brady, Manning, Montana, Rodgers
