Fred Davis on doubters and the Seahawks - DC Sports Bog
"We was tired of losing, but I think that what really made us mad was that those guys thought that they were like Super Bowl champions or something. They was talking to us like we was just as worse as them, and we have almost the same record. But I guess because they came off two wins they were feeling confident, and we had to take it away."

Does Jack Del Rio getting fired put them into the QB race?

They will have a new coach going into next year and we all know coaches like to have “their guy” run “their offense” and Gabbert is a product of the old regime. Thoughts?

There are no thoughts until we know who their coach is going to be.

It’s unfair to say if they’d be looking for a QB b/c we have no idea who their coach is going to be. But it will most likely be an assistant that no one has ever heard of or maybe a guy like Gregg Williams. (They are not going to pony up a lot of cash)

Whomever it is I doubt will have the juevos to put them in the QB race. Especially with the uncertainty surrounding the franchise.

He's a rookie?

There have been worse rookies that get better then Gabbert. He’s been terrible and I’m happy we didn’t draft him, but they can’t give up hope that early.

I guess. But they're in a tough spot

Sleepy went to USC. That’s a pretty solid school. I’m sure they have classes Florida St. style for the football players. Here I am busting my ass to get into grad school so I can make 1/4 of what he will make.

Jack Del Rio is a good guy...

The rest of the NFL should watch out if he decides to become a defensive coordinator. Imagine the Dolphins with Andy Reid as the coach, Del Rio as the DC, and being in position to draft Barkley (or even RG3 or Jones since I think Reid can turn the both of them into solid players) I would love to see this trio…

People who are offended by Steve Johnson's celebrations need to get a sense of humor.

Those people must really need a sense of humor after seeing Johnson

drop that likely game winning touchdown pass against the Jets. Terrible drop – ought to take some of the cockiness out of him.

Late addition....

Helu Has Made Strides, Shanahan Says

"You put a guy in different situations where it’s pass protection on first-and-10, nickel situations with different types of blitzes, it’s screens, it’s different types of routes you have to run," Shanahan said of Helu’s progression. "If you’re looking at a young player, especially after no OTAs, it put a lot of pressure on him, especially in our scheme.

"And we felt he was ready. He handled it during the week [leading up to the Seattle game] with very few mistakes. He played well."

I love this from Shanny

There was a guy on the thread during the game that kept saying Helu sucked and would never be a good back. Claimed he was a Skins fan but I’m pretty sure he was a troll.

Man, that's tough on Portis

Why can’t these jocks just invest in stocks, mutual funds, etc? Why put $15 million into one, risky casino, or, for that matter, any one, risky business? When you make that much money, preservation of capital should be important – you can afford to pass up on huge returns.

by Donnio1234 on Nov 29, 2011 11:03 AM EST reply actions

Because people prey on less savy people

If you work hard and save $100,000 you would most likely find a financial advisor and invest in the stock market. People that come into large sums of money have people that get in their ear and tell them to invest in this or that. The newly rich don’t pay much attention to whothey are investing with and what they are investing in. Part of the problem is they don’t educate themselves, part is they trust the wrong people, and part is they don’t realize that at some point the money will stop coming.

Kind of sad really.

Shut up DHall.
