Crazy Predictions

[JUMbotron]

Beanie finishes 4th in carries in the NFC behind Peterson, Turner, and Blount - and launches himself over 1,300 yards with a big handful of scores.

[Savage Beatings]

Mike Thomas flirts with becoming a top 10 WR (ends up top 15).

Wow, that flies in the face of my belief that the Cardinals' leading rusher this year isn't even on their roster yet. But then you eventually saw the light on T-Joke, so there's hope for you yet.

EDITED because the initial #s weren't crazy enough.

That's way too believable to count as crazy. I think Brady goes ballistic

I have a new Bromance with Jumbotron.

LOL. Is the view from the cheap seats good? You've been grating my cheese all month, but yet I don't hear you taking any chances. C'mon, lay something out there.

What, "I don't think the Cardinals' leading rusher is on their current roster" isn't laying something out there?

 

I don't know that I have anything that crazy on my personal cheat sheet. Bradford a top-12 QB; Tolbert ahead of Mathews; VJax 3 among WRs, Mike Williams (TB) 9, Boldin 13, Mike Thomas 19, Bernard Berrian a fantasy WR3; Winslow at 6 among TEs. You want to pin me to any of those, go ahead.

Bradford top-12.... Zzzzz. Where's your stones, say top-7, you know you want to.

Tolbert over Mathews.... I'm the one who wrote that book. Zzzzz.

C'mon, give us somethin'.... Like lawofmurphy said, this thread is a safe place. No one will hold it against you.

[DanTheMan_5]

Lance Kendricks will lead the league in receptions for TE's this year, and be in top 3 in TD's.

[Scooby's Hubby]

Harry Douglas will out score Julio Jones in PPR leagues if he remains healthy.

this would be crazy - TD maybe.

 

Single coverage on Jones means that the CB will be playing off or sagging; Jones will have many catches, but they will be short routes. Jones will not get as many deep balls, like Roddy and Harry will. Jones will have many catches, but I could see Douglas beat him in TD category.

Yes and if you haven't been listening to us on SiriusXM Thursday nights you're missing out.

2v is banging my gong over the fact that I liked Tarvaris Jackson.... in July. He won't let it go!

All the love I show you, teeing up softballs for you to drive into the seats, and I help you see the light on T-Jax... and this is the thanks I get?

 

Rather than Huddle-on-Huddle crime, this is a perfect example of why JUMbotron is a fantastic addition to The Huddle team. I have no problem being the guy who colors within the lines, the tortoise in the fabled race; if you're familiar with my auction teams, you've seen this approach in action. JUM is Cash to my Tango, Sundance to my Butch. He shakes the tree, which is a good thing.

 

And when a coconut falls on his head and causes delusions like "Tarvaris Jackson is a legit fantasy quarterback", we're there to apply the cold compress.

I was of course kidding around. It would be quite lame if every Huddle writer had the same opinion.

Playing deep ain't really Roddy's game, as evidenced by how the Falcons barely ever even attempted deep passes last year... Watch the Falcons highlights from the Steelers game though.... Julio has Polamalu and another DB smoked on like a 60 yard throw, that he surely makes 9 times out of 10.

 

But what was interesting about the Steeler game was how much attention they gave Julio... Yes I know their secondary is depleted, but they were leaving Roddy single covered alot and doubling him, and on 1 busted play there wasn't anyone within 10 feet of Roddy.. If Jones continues to play like a true 1b, defenses are going to have a hell of a time containing this offense.

Or maybe Butter to your Bread, 'cuz I'm all over you right now.

 

(The funniest thing would be if Tarvaris busted out of the gates, heaving TDs to Rice and Big Mike... Whoops there I go again...must - get - TJ - out - of - my - head.....)

Wow. I hadn't considered that possibility. Ballsy, yet not outlandish. I'm not a SJ fan but I'm admittedly too hard on him. He's got heart.

[Menudo]

Yet we pretend that baseball is unique in the sense that some teams always suck and others are always good.

 

Apples to Oranges. In the NFL, every team is on a level playing field in what they can spend. If you lose for a long time, the organization can look no further than itself. In baseball, there is a clear advantage in that some teams have the ability to spend a lot more than others, due to the market that they play in, and because there isn't a salary cap.
