There is no right choice in that argument. I say he does read TMQ though...maybe just for a laugh. Again, I can't defend either of those two, but I believe Peter is right about the Crabtree Curse.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-66549448877693132022009-11-13T18:29:49.028-05:002009-11-13T18:29:49.028-05:00Do you think King reads Easterbrook?
From his pic...Do you think King reads Easterbrook?<br /><br />From his picks column:<br /><br /><b>If the 49ers are losing because they added a really good player, Michael Crabtree, to the lineup out of nowhere, then I would say the 49ers were a house made of toothpicks. Which is to say: I'm not buying they're 0-3 with Crabtree because of Crabtree. </b>Thilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439591828137103506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-37176304095394835362009-11-13T16:51:15.712-05:002009-11-13T16:51:15.712-05:00That Brett Favre comeback player thing was just ab...That Brett Favre comeback player thing was just absolutely horrible. This very well could be the dumbest thing he has ever said. It's Tom Brady all the way...especially considering there were rumors he may miss part of this season because there were problems with an infection after the surgery. <br /><br />Peter King doesn't really understand the gun control issue. That's why he started talking briefly about healthcare. I don't think the regular gun market is the problem, it is the illegal gun market...and that is a tough market to control. He doesn't exactly get it. He makes tough statements and then tries to backtrack when he is called on it. We all know how the shooting was stopped at Fort Hood...plus, it was an Army base so guns were everywhere so there was really no way I know of to restrict people's access to guns. <br /><br />Rulebook, I went into the Heath Evans argument thinking I was going the other way, but it just showed me how much New Orleans a "spread" offense actually needed a FB in the offense to run the ball better. I thought it was interesting. <br /><br />Jared Allen should not be the Defensive Player of the Year. Unless he gets better numbers against non-Packers teams in the 2nd half of the season. <br /><br />You can disagree with me on Hope. I have only seen a couple Titans games and I was basing it on memory, so you probably know more about that than I do. Like I said, Meriweather wasn't a horrible pick, but it just didn't shock me he went with him. <br /><br />I forgot about Jay Ratliff. I forget about players when I am doing lists like this. I am a little surprised he didn't get picked over Franklin. <br /><br />Dan, I read that Tweet which directed me to Peter's article...which caused me to be outraged. I find his explanation to be extraordinarily crappy. I don't know how he should get credit for coming out of semi-retirement while his Vikings teammates go through training camp. Like AJ and I said, he played 16 games last year so he didn't miss any time and players have surgery in the offseason all the time, so that was nothing special in itself. I think that was an egregious inclusion on Peter's part.Bengoodfellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09401971573776672570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-29273545177003806902009-11-13T15:58:50.881-05:002009-11-13T15:58:50.881-05:00King explained choosing Favre in this Tweet:
Re C...King explained choosing Favre in this Tweet:<br /><br />Re Comeback to Favre sted Brady: 'Comeback' doesn't have to be from injury. Favre back from both injury and semi-retirement. <br />3:49 PM Nov 10th from TweetDeck <br /><br />Nice gig Favre's got there. He gets out of training camp while he jerks the Vikings around, then gets comeback cred for coming back from "semi-retirement".Dannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-53522684691778647012009-11-13T14:56:50.374-05:002009-11-13T14:56:50.374-05:00- With Evans: 154.5 yards/game (6 games)
Without E...- <b>With Evans: 154.5 yards/game (6 games)<br />Without Evans: 115.0 yards/game (2 games) </b> <br /><br />For further emphasis, here is the rushing defense rank of the teams they played in those games:<br /><br />First 6 games: 17, 10, 14, 32, 13, 5 (average for all 6 teams combined is 114.8 ypg)<br />Last 2 games: 24, 23 (average for both teams is 122.8 ypg)<br /><br />So not only do they have fewer rushing yards without Evans, but the teams that they have played since Evans have worse rush defenses.<br /><br />- <b>His statistics against Green Bay look like this: 7.5 sacks, 1 safety, 1 forced fumble, and 12 tackles. </b> <br /><br />And this is why I am very much looking forward to watching Ware against GB this week...<br /><br />- <b>Chris Hope could also have a case </b><br /><br />I am going to repectfully disagree with you here. Hope has played all 8 games this season, and he very much has had a hand in the Titans having the league's worst pass defense. From what I have witnessed this season, he has been burned numerous times. I'd probably go with Wilson, but I can't complain about Meriweather.<br /><br />- I'll be blatantly honest: I'm not familiar with many of the league's nose tackles work this season (since their impact is rarely seen on the stat sheet). I do, however, watch every Cowboys game. I am not necessarily arguing with King's or anyone else's All-pro picks at DT, but I have been thoroughly surprised that Jay Ratliff is not on more lists.Thilohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17439591828137103506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-102327997051254703.post-48424921608795726822009-11-13T13:43:34.172-05:002009-11-13T13:43:34.172-05:00Wow, Farve for comeback player of the year...like ...Wow, Farve for comeback player of the year...like you said, he played all 16 games last year!!!! Where/what is he coming back from?? He played the whole season, there is no comeback. This may be the stupidest thing he has ever said, and that is saying a LOT!<br /><br />Brady wins this stupid award, and it's not even close. <br /><br />Oh man, so many things to say about gun control and how clueless King is on anything outside of Farve. There are LOTS of restrictions on guns...and you would know that if you actually went to buy one. However, there are ZERO restrictions on buying a gun from the black market...and there in lies the problem. You can not control/regulate something that exists outside of the laws. There is a reason it's called a black market. And you also can not control/regulate how a person with a gun (or any other weapon) will act...for we are not robots that all think the same and act the same. Don't people realize that if you eliminate guns that people will come up with others ways to kill people???<br /><br />Oh, can anyone tell me how those killings stopped on that Army base? (I know the answer, but I'm not sure King does...or if he could understand my point).AJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16973629881511639449noreply@blogger.com
