Also, I had my first experience with "Snickerdoodle Muddy Buddies" - I may never be the same again.
When someone said "snickerdoodle muddy buddies" I immediately though of Baz, but it turns out it's chocolate and peanut butter melted into cereal coated in sugar.
This country is ridiculous.

Ridiculous and delicious, apparently. I really need to move.

To be fair, Geno Smith isn't much of a QB...
The Colts GM has continued his short tradition of picking the right player 2 rounds too early.

Surely Stu can find some sort of GIF with Sanchez' reaction to the Geno pick. There just has to be one out there somewhere.

I'm shocked. I thought there would have been tiffin.
So where next for him. I guess New England.

Rumours are Jacksonville. Not because he'll be good enough to replace their terrible quarterback, but because he's a Florida alum and so will sell another 3-5,000 tickets a game.
Jax would then have a "Quarterbacking" cadre made up of Gabbart, Chad Henne and Tebow. :humb:

I'm not sure which one of those is the best, but Tebow is certainly the worst.
Tebow should convert to Rugby. He'd be a quite succesful athlete and do a lot to promote the game in the US.

Just to emphasise the ridiculous nature of NFL.com and the Tebow supporters (or just people who want to talk shit on a syndicated channel) Marc Sessler says:
If you have to put "read-option-friendly" to qualify your judgement, then you're ignoring the fact hat Tebow just can't throw the ball half as well as any QB in the league. If what you mean "read-option-friendly-when-the-read-is-run" then I buy into the "Tebow is a better runner of the ball than Quinn and Portis".
Also, last I noticed Pete Carroll seemed to know what he was doing - which didn't include trying to genetically engineer a QB out of a TE.
And just to top it...
If you honestly speak of Griffin in the same breath as Tebow then you're a sick deluded man.

That's pretty unfair. Tim Tebow throws the ball a lot better than most QBs in the league.
Just not *accurately*.

My rule is if a qb throws 50% in college, the chances of him improving to even Sanchez-like 57% is unlikely. Saying that, I remember the 80's when a passing completion % of 60 was unheard of apart from Montana, so perhaps Tebow is just being judged harshly based on new fangled metrics.
He might have had a passable career chance 30 years ago.

That's the saving grave for me for Geno Smith. I don't know where he's going to end up, but his completion percentage in college was ridiculous, so at least he's starting from the right place.

He might have had a passable career chance 30 years ago. I mean his arm strength is great, he's just got no timing or accuracy. Smith's problem seems to be mostly an attitude one, although it's always hard to tell what's real dirt out of personnel guys post-draft and how much is sour grapes because the guy didn't quite slip to them where they wanted.

I know this might be jumping the gun a bit, but I can only see one more season in Brady. He'll play until he's 40. Goddamit elth.

Yeah, but I don't think anyone foresaw the benefits of avocado ice-cream.
I've read the whole thread, and dear lord, we all talk a lot of pish.
