Week 8 Discussion

Taysom Hill is what Tim Tebow really should have been. Tell me Im wrong.....

You're wrong.

Tebow was a horrible athlete. In college he could run over college-sized defenders. In the NFL, compared to all other NFL players, his athleticism was a 2 on a scale of 10. And because he was probably the 60th best QB in the league at the time he was in the NFL, his lack of athleticism resulted in him being a total flop.

Taysom is five times as good as Tebow was in the NFL, at any possible position.

And yet I watched him beat the Vikings...albeit in a "multiple fluky plays" way.

I just remember his 86 yard TD pass to win the playoffs game. You know, the one that was caught 4 yards from scrimmage and run for the TD? Best pass ever!!!

Very encouraged by some of the bolded players, even if the opportunity is due to injury. I also separated some of the players based on usage and getting rid of the wall of text this is becoming. Those top 6 WR are key pieces to their offenses, the next 4 being more tertiary pieces and the last grouping of some hopefuls who are/could get a shot rest of season.

[Lumps]

Gibbs right into the middle the first 2 plays.

Edit: 3 runs into the middle before they gave him a screen.

Edit #2: 7 touches so far on the opening drive.

[FantasyFreak]

Jamo with another drop.

[FantasyFreak]

Laporta is a star at the TE position.

[Jigga94]

Laporta is a star at the TE position.

I mean yeah he's been a top 10 TE 5/7 weeks. Now 6/8

Yep. As a rookie. He just has "it". He's athletic, smart, good hands, and he's been blocking well for some big gains, tonight. Guy is a fantastic football player.

Top 10? Pfffftttt. Put some respect on his name. Been top 5 all season.

[Jigga94]

Gibbs rushing up the middle, 1 yard per attempt

Gibbs on the outside, 15 yards per attempt

Smort!

Crosby had blown up a few plays tonight. Some are extremely well blocked then others Gibbs is looking at 3 defenders once he has the ball.

[FantasyFreak]

Nice run by Gibbs there. Poor angle by a bad secondary, but he took advantage and made him pay. Raiders secondary is awful, it's tough to watch.

[CGW]

I'm not watching, but is Jimmy as bad as the box score looks or is Detroit just that good?

In related news, can Adams please be traded? I'd hate for him to waste his last few years playing for this team.

He's bad, and Adams hasn't been good. Another drop. This is the Raiders run D I've seen for the last 20 years. Huge holes, bad angles, bad tackling. I can't get into this team anymore, until they get new ownership.
