Well, I don't have to root against the Chiefs twice a year now :emawkid:
-
Is Pierre Thomas still their main guy? I just hope Sproles gets like 25 touches per game, dude has shown he can be a great asset.

This, but I never was a big KC fan. Never really particularly liked any NFL franchise. SD has pretty much been my team for the last 6 or 7 years.

Harrison and the long snapper also signed FA deals.
-
good offense for him. Grats Sproles.
-
Try 4 year deal for 14 Million (6 mil guaranteed), scoops. :kstategrad:

What did SD give him last yr as the franchise tag? Wanna say it was 3.25. Not sure about that. Regardless :kstategrade:

Harrison and the long snapper also signed FA deals.
COREY ADAMS. Get it right. :shakesfist: He has a long NFL future ahead of him, just to snap a ball. Anybody know how good of money the average money per year a long snapper makes? I should know this in case my plans fail I'll start practicing my long snapping skills. :crossfingers: :kstategrad:

The league minimum last year was 325k. So that's the absolute least you could make as your salary.

I think the new CBA upped it to somewhere in the 400's

Love how quickly the Chargers fan base writes Sproles off as a guy who was liked only by female fans and is easily replaceable. Never mind their coach is Norv Turner and they now have no legitimate run game whatsoever.
-
It is always a good thing if you are a running back playing in a Sean Payton offense with Brees throwing you the ball.
-

While it wasn't ONLY females, female chargers fans sure did love him.
-
I grew up a Raiders fan. I didn't choose that, it's just how it was with my family and such.
Lately they have really sucked so I don't follow them that closely. I kinda wanted to cheer for the Chiefs, but they're even worse, which is quite an accomplishment. Even when they made the playoffs though I still couldn't cheer. And I think the reason is because on Saturday's we hate the KU/MU people so much, how can I then join them on Sunday and cheer for the Chiefs? I can't. I am too EMAW.

What?
Sproles only had 50 attempts for 270 yds last year. He was primarily a 3rd down receiver. Mathews and Tolbert combined for 1500 yds and are back this year.
I hope Sproles gets 300 touches this year to really see what he can do. He never really had a chance in SD.

Yeah, my cousin was a long snapper for Houston and New England. Those positions pretty much get the minimum no matter what. Since the minimum increases each year a player is in the league, it's had to stay very long in a position like that. There's not enough talent difference between a rookie long snapper and a 3rd year long snapper for them to pay the extra money for it.
More importantly, did anyone see how much Brees wanted Sproles on the Saints? "I was calling him, I was texting him, I was saying, 'Let's win some championships. Let's break some records.'" :love:

If you guys are bored and want to make a case for a K-State Wildcat in Canton, here is the guy. He's got a pretty solid shot of cracking the top 10 all time in career all purpose yards. Most of the guys in the top 15 are already in, or will be in the next 5-10 years (LDT, Brown).
http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/all_purpose_yds_career.htm (http://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/all_purpose_yds_career.htm)
He also owns 3 NFL records. Those tend to help too.

This is surprising to me. I suppose the return yards early in his career are where the majority of the yards came from, but that's a pretty impressive list.
-
by emo logic, that mean's hubert should be the second wildcat in the hof and break all of sproles' records! :billdance:

gonna try to hang out with him here one of these days

Is it realistic for him to break 20k (5k more) and be in the top 5? That would basically mean 3 more years producing his career average.

well now that's just mean spirited and hurtful. :frown:
LOGIC:
Not that I love the short side, but there's no reason Sams and Hubert can't be as fast and Ell/Sproles.
yeah. because hubert is sproles' clone. basically the same player.
Rivals lists Hubert as a 4.4, Sproles as 4.5. :dunno:
:lol:

Do you want me to go through the logic for you? I won't if I'm talking to a person incapable of understanding or unwilling to listen.

oh my god please do! :popcorn:
-
Someone said (dig up the posts, I don't care to) perhaps the SS option doesn't work like it used to is because we're not at fast to the edge as Ell/Sproles. So like speed to move laterally 10 or 20 yards as a pair.
I said there's no reason we can't be as fast now with Sams/Hubert. Sams is every bit as fast as Ell, and I would bet faster. And Hubert has comparable speed to Sproles. The numbers seem to back this up. Although I welcome you to refute the numbers I've found with some of your own. If Sproles is faster than Hubert in this respect, I'd bet it's not by any appreciable margin to make the SS option more successful. So the reason should be something else, like shiftiness for example, which I said Sproles was at minimum as shifty as Hubert. At minimum. Chew on that for a while before pounding on the keyboard some more.

No I think Sproles will get picked up by another NFL team, maybe for less money. N.O. just needed to make some salary cap room.

Giants running game and return game is a disaster. It might make sense if the money works.

So do you still want Snyder fired immediately? I know you were saying that at the mid-point of the season, so I just wanted to check if you are still standing by that. Haven't kept up lately.

they think they can get more value in a trade (prob draft picks) than in free agency with the cap savings, I guess.

I think if he can make people take notice this year that he can really make a strong HOF case. His numbers are worthy but I worry there just isn't enough respect for All Purpose Yards. He has evolved the RB position as much as anybody over the past 10 years.

I had to stop lifting with him out of fear for my personal health.

You're probably right about Sproles being the most beloved football cat ever. Being a kid from Kansas and on the '03 title team really helps his case over some of the other guys who were clearly elite, like Bishop.

Chatted with him and his fam after the game. Awesome guy and family. He's also sending his daughter to the kazzu cats to run the 400m next year. and his pops calls him tankard which is totes adorbs

OT: William Powell signs with Arizona Cardinals
free slots no download (https://www.slotozilla.com/free-slots)
Sproles (quadriceps) will miss the rest of the season after being diagnosed Friday with a torn right hip flexor muscle.
Sproles missed Thursday's practice with what was labeled as a quadriceps injury, but it appears he was actually dealing with the hip issue. The 36-year-old apparently suffered a partial tear of the hip flexor in early October but was cleared to return for Week 9 versus the Bears. He then sustained the full tear during Wednesday's practice, with the Eagles opting to shut him down for good. It's the third consecutive season Sproles has missed 10-plus games, and his increasing durability concerns could spell an end to his 15-year career. Fellow back Jordan Howard (shoulder) is also banged up, prompting the Eagles to bring in free agent Jay Ajayi for a workout Friday.
