Seahawks' Michael Bennet with an epic anti-QB rant.

"Quarterback is the only position in the NFL where you be mediocre and get paid. At every other position, you can't be mediocre," Bennett said. "If I was like Ryan Tannehill, and the most games I ever won was seven, how could you get $100 million for that? I guess that's the value of the position."

"And then there's, like, you're sitting at home, and there's breaking news, and it says that Brian Hoyer is the quarterback of the Houston Texans. I'm like, who cares? It's not breaking news. It's really not breaking news."

Bennett continued, "All I'm saying is there's some mediocre quarterbacks in the NFL that make a lot of money. I mean, you take a guy like Sam Bradford. He's never played, really, in the last three years, but he's made more money than most guys in the NFL!"

Bennett then turned his attention to the protection quarterbacks get in the game from the referees. He brought up the controversy over Terrell Suggs' hit on Bradford during a Week 2 preseason game.

"Quarterbacks get protected more than any other player in the NFL. I mean [Bradford] gets hit in his knees, and he's about to cry? [crying noises] 'He hit me in my legs!' I mean, everybody gets hit in their legs. Every play somebody tries to hit me in my legs. So what makes him different? What makes his life better than mine?"

Bennett said he respects Tom Brady because when Brady gets tackled, he gets up and says, "Good job, good hit," and then continues back to the huddle.

"Ain't got guys in the NFL crying because they get hit. 'Oh, Suggs, Suggs hit me, and I'm running the read option,'" Bennett continued, imitating Bradford.

When one of the hosts argued that Peyton Manning has been playing without feeling in his fingertips, Bennett replied, "JPP [Jason Pierre-Paul] just cut his off!"

"RGIII is running around, and he gets hit, and he's like — I'm like, 'Stop running the ball if you don't wanna get hit!' Throw the ball! The best way not to get hit is to complete a pass," Bennett concluded.

I don't understand why Mathis keeps getting overlooked by teams, he is one of the best guards in the game.

 

PFF had him #1 and #2 among guards in 2012/2013. The only reasons he got cut were:

 

1) Only played 7 games last year

2) Will be 34 this year

3) Chip Kelly hates white people

Shit, I was really hoping ol' Sexy Rexy would end up with the Jets.

 

In other news, here's to the St. Louis Rams, being classy in a way that the St. Louis Cardinals never are...

 

Bud Sasser will be a member of the St. Louis Rams organization after all.
 
The Rams announced Tuesday that they've hired their 2015 sixth-round pick, but not for the job they originally selected him for in May. The former wide receiver, who was unable to pass a physical to play and released because of a previously unknown pre-existing heart condition, has taken a job as the team's new external football affairs coordinator.
 
"We are really excited to have him on board," coach Jeff Fisher said. "He's going to be working in alumni relations and youth football and it's just a great opportunity for him. He's an outstanding young man who obviously had something that was clearly out of his control and I think he realizes that this is the best thing for him from a future standpoint."
 
In his new role, Sasser will work closely with alumni, youth football and other aspects of community outreach. It's a job that has been a few months in the making.
 
Despite Sasser's inability to get clearance to play, the team signed him to a contract that paid him a signing bonus of more than $113,000 before releasing him with the non-football-related illness designation in June.

Even here he is only getting a o e year deal. I think he made the fatal mistake of the NFL... asking for more money.

Yeah I know, they really love him, he's to guards what JJ Watt is to defensive players....and players overlal.

Oh, Russell Wilson. You are really pushing your luck. No, your miracle water did not cure your concussion.

 What's the deal with that guy? Is he just some sort of football savant? I am confuzzled..

I....don't know. 

 

He's clearly a very good football player, and while he isn't perfect he's certainly up there in the top tier of players. But he's also...really odd. Like the 'saving himself for marriage' thing or this water that sounds like new age bullshit. Really, the whole Seattle team is this weird collection of people; it just turns out that the robot Russell Wilson is also about as weird as they get, just in a different way. 

 

Like seriously, would it surprise anyone to hear that he's an anti-vaccer? Or that he is now a scientologist? Or that he's giving up his dream of football so that he can sell clergy-inspired colon cleanses? He might have already reached peak Tyson levels.

That dude is fucking crazy.  I mean, why is it that he can tell everyone that he hears god's voice and he speaks personally to him, especially after concussions healed miraculously with special water, not getting seriously looked at for mental issues.  If anyone in my family said this shit I'd seriously be talking to everyone about getting that person some help.

Maybe all this weirdness leaking out is deliberate overcompensation for when Deadspin, Grantland and the like (and I) were calling him boring, robotic, preppy, like a brand's twitter account (one of the few time I actually laughed at something Bill Barnwell wrote), or Lumbergh from Office Space, but good at football.

It's too bad Seattle wasn't on Hard Knocks this year, with all the shit going on up there, and add on Wilson looking like he's about to go bat-shit crazy would've made one hell of a show. I am enjoying the Texans though so far.

If the Seahawks don't make it back to the 'Ship, who else is concerned that Wilson might start sacrificing promiscuous teens? What a nutjob.

Is this a serious reply? 

 

Legit cannot tell if you're joking or seriously saying he's doing this on purpose because of a couple journalists.
