That GM is really setting Cam up for failure, can't have the star QB you just paid mega dollars to scrambling for his life every game cause he can't find a open ? receiver and the O-line is ass juice

Stabler, Stanfel named 2016 HOF Senior Nominees

The Pro Football Hall of Fame Senior Committee nominated former Oakland Raiders quarterback Ken Stabler and former Detroit Lions and Washington Redskins guard ? Stanfel for the Class of 2016.
The committee considers players who have been retired for more than 25 years.
When Stabler passed away at age 69 in early July, his candidacy for the Hall of Fame drew a groundswell of renewed support.
A colorful, iconic character in football's most rebellious era, Stabler was the leader of the 1970s Raiders -- one of the most celebrated teams in NFL history.
Watch out-of-market games
A member of the 1970s All-Decade Team, Stabler was arguably the NFL's top quarterback from the time he assumed starting responsibilities in 1973 through 1977.
In that five-year span, Stabler captured an MVP award (1974) and a Super Bowl Ring (1976), leading the Raiders to the playoffs each year en route to a 50-11-1 regular-season record. Twice he led the league in touchdowns and completion percentage, while earning a reputation as a comeback artist as well as the most accurate passer in the game.
Because the Raiders were a mainstay in the playoffs and on national television -- often against the dreaded rival Steelers -- Stabler played a starring role in some of the most famous plays in history: "The Holy Roller," "Ghost to the Post," and the "Sea of Hands." After Stabler's 30-yard touchdown run appeared to seal a 1972 playoff victory for Oakland, Pittsburgh's "Immaculate Reception" robbed him of another trip to the Super Bowl.
An All-Decade offensive guard in the 1950s, Stanfel was previously nominated by the Senior Committee in 1993 and 2012.
Because of a knee injury sustained in the 1951 College All-Star Game and a stint with the U.S. Army in the Pacific theatre, Stanfel's playing career lasted just seven seasons.
One of the most decorated players in Lions history, Stanfel was a star on the 1952 and 1953 championship teams, earning the team MVP award for the latter season.
Stanfel moved on to a lengthy coaching career that crested with a Super Bowl ring as the offensive line coordinator for the Chicago Bears' dominant ground attack in 1985.
To gain entry to the Hall of Fame, Stabler and Stanfel will need approval from at least 80 percent of the full voting body next January.
Damn shame Stabler had to die to get in. -
Honestly the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a joke.

It's so politically motivated it's disgusting, the fact that Charles Haley had to wait 10+ years cause he was never buddy buddy with the press is a perfect example; T.O. will probably be dead before he makes the hall as welldallas' 4 eva wrote: »Honestly the Pro Football Hall of Fame is a joke.

I know but under Dan Quinn it probably has a chance to improve more so than New Orleans, the Saints secondary is solid but idk how serious Brandon Browner's injury is and a Rob Ryan defense just can't be trusted coming from a Dallas fanShizlansky wrote: »tupacfan12 wrote: »Got Saints taking NFC South even before the Benjamin injury, that being said wouldn't surprise me if Falcons take the division being how weak that Rob Ryan defense is

Dan Quinn?
The guy from Seattle right? -
Earl Thomas
Sherman
Kam
Ain't walking thru the Georgia dome.
He didn't do ? in Seattle except take over a top 3 defense when Gus Bradley left. -

Saints fans really don't get this. Dallas fans have seen this first hand, his defense is never going to look anywhere near as good as it did when he first took over, it will only get worse. -
Tbh he had a lot of holes in his defense due to injury when he was with us.. It wasnt a him thing it was roster health thing he got the raw deal when he was fired imo
-
I'm not saying Atlanta will be another Seattle, I'm saying if he could take that unit from bottom of the barrel to average than that'll be enough to win the division; I picked to Saints to win it cause they're gonna run the ball more, control the clock, keep that defense off the field as long as they can plus Quinn is a first time head coach which means he's a unknown quantityShizlansky wrote: »Earl Thomas

But look at the entirety of what he told ABC 7's Alex Parker. The full quote. It's actually pretty spot-on:
"I don't feel like I have to come out here and show anybody anything or why I'm better than this guy or better than that guy. It's more about going out and affirming that for me, I go out and I play, I know I'm the best quarterback on this team. I feel like I'm the best quarterback in the league and I have to go out and show that. Any athlete at any level, if they concede to someone else, they're not a top competitor, they're not trying to be the best that they can be. There's guys in this league that have done way more than me. But, I still view myself as the best because that's what I work toward every single day." (RG3)

Panthers are looking at Reggie Wayne as possible replacement for Benjamin per NFL.com

Carolina got to have the slowest WR corp in the league, even before KB went down.
