Theismann: LeBron James is 'talented enough' to be an NFL QB - CBSSports.com
Is Theismann trying to position himself for a seat next to Skip and Stephen A? Thats the only thing I can think of when I hear redic bs like this...

I stopped listening to Theismann a LOOOOOONG time ago. Right about that time he tried to say that Jason Campbell was a good QB. I knew right then that he couldn't be taken seriously.

Re: NFL News Offseason Style
So Gronk needs back surgery.
Report: Rob Gronkowski needs back surgery, likely to miss part of training camp | SI Wire When do you go from considering him a star to a bust?

He was drafted mid 2nd round, and has had solid production. I could name a couple mid 2nd round receivers who were busts, but really prefer not too. He had a bit of injury history I believe, and has performed well. He may level out at below star level after his back injury- Ross Tucker said he was never the same after his. If it does then he ends up having a good, not great career in the NFL. He was never going to be HoF material, so you take the years you get out of him and be happy with it. |

7 more seasons at his current pace (his first 3 seasons averaged); 623 catches / 8,876 yards / 14.2 ypc / 126 tds and the hypothetical pace had he not missed 5 games last season: 706 catches / 10,073 yards / 14.2 ypc / 143 tds that bold number is definitely hof material

Gronk is going to be a very good NFL player over the next five years, but I doubt he's ever going to have a three year stretch in his career like he did from ages 21-23.

If Gronk is never the same after this, I still don't think he's a bust. He proved he belonged in the league when healthy. And yeah, he might have a short life span in the league, but that's not the same as some kid drafted high who lets the fame get to him, and never puts in the work. The word bust is just thrown around way too much imo, and this a prime example. |

As for the whole "because a player has to deal with multiple injuries within one time frame that classifies him as a bust" I would disagree with that. If a player can't play whether its talent or not staying on a field because of injuries or off field trouble, those are all factors of keeping a player from playing, thus making them a bust because they can't play. And remember you're only a bust if you have had a large contract handed to you or are drafted highly (1-2).

Report: Tebow’s camp is privately admitting he’s done in the NFL | ProFootballTalk
I said this shit before the draft. It was quite obvious he wasn't a good QB. This is a blistering piece on him. Ouch. How media mania made former NFL quarterback Tim Tebow impossible to hire - ESPN The Magazine - ESPN New York Quote:

Re: NFL News Offseason Style
2nd back surgery for Gronk I believe, that can't be good. He's probably one of those guys that will be done by 30.

Re: NFL News Offseason Style
That is actually a great point. They both have been injured in college and in the pros. Would suck to see that much potential go to waste because of the injury bug.
