Around the NFL Week 9

Geno Atkins of the Bengals tore his ACL in last nights game. Thats going to be a huge loss for the Bengals. He was turning into one of the best DL in the league. He wasnt even rolled onto. Just planted his foot while an OL was pushing against him and he went down.

Cincy blown 2 double digits leads of late, they got more problems than just losing Atkins.

I don't think Dalton is a franchise QB

Finally a good NFLN game, although I ran out of gas and missed the ending.

lol I stayed up but I'm paying for it now

Very odd. Bullying PSA coming soon?

Decent player, but I dont want this guy on my squad. Sorry

This league is so soft nowadays. What is he going to develop an eating disorder? Still, probably would be an upgrade over Tyler.

I don't think Dalton is a franchise QB

Dalton is a good QB, but I agree that he isnt a franchise QB. He has most of the tools necessary except the strong arm. I think Green makes him better than he is since he has won quite a few jump balls for him, but he cant throw deep that well and he doesnt throw the out patterns well. Easy to jump those from him due to arm strength. He makes good reads and good decisions, but I think he will end up like Hasselbeck, an above average QB but not a great one.

The thing I like about Dalton is he's not afraid to keep slinging it even when he's having an off game. That 3rd INT wasn't on him but the pick 6 was definitely bad ball placement.

What an odd story

It begs the question, Why do they bully him so?

Yeah Hasselbeck is a good comparison. Gutsy and heady guy, but doesn't necessarily have the greatest physical tools.

Decent player, but I dont want this guy on my squad. Sorry

Please don't tell me you don't want him on the team, just because he couldn't take the bullying?

I think this says lot about Miami team, no one tried to stand up for him and stop the bullying? Come on, it's just as if they all are teenagers :doh:
