Tom Brady attempted 91 passes over 20yds last year.
No other QB attempted more than 80

As much as I hate to say it, TB12 still has it, until we see otherwise. I'm def not betting against him with all those weapons and that defense!

If he has a set plan to play until 45 (this year and next) and then hang it up, I can see him pushing to go out in style. If he has no fixed end date, I see him losing steam suddenly.

It all depends on how bad the fall is. The previous year to his last, Peyton Manning was 395 for 597 for 4727 yards and had 39 touchdowns. And then he went to getting beat out by Brock Osweiler and throwing 9 touchdowns and 17 interceptions the next year. Not that Brady is the same guy, but sometimes the fall is a Niagara Falls plummet.

Maybe he's still trying to be the breadwinner in his family instead of the trophy husband

yeah, there will without a doubt be a cliff, but Peyton is such a rare/weird case when you take into account the neck fusion surgeries or whatever he all had going on at the end of his indy career. so far, it isn't "dangerous" health wise for Brady to continue playing, where it definitely was for Manning's neck.

I thought this happened like two years ago. LOL.​

​

Former Broncos WR Demaryius Thomas announced his retirement after 10 seasons in the NFL.​

Thomas, a 2010 first-round pick, was one of the NFL's most productive receivers during Peyton Manning's run with the Broncos, carving up defenses with wide receiver screens and outmuscling and outrunning defenders in Denver's high-powered offense. Thomas, 33, ranks second in receiving yards (9,655) and touchdown catches (60) and third in receptions (665) in Broncos history. Thomas, who played in Denver for nine years, is first in receiving yards per game (72.4) among Broncos who appeared in at least 30 games. Fantasy football's top scoring receiver in 2013, Thomas last played with the Jets in 2019, catching 36 of 58 targets for 443 yards and a touchdown.

Damn, I find it hard to believe he's only 33 TBH. Dude took a pounding.

I don't know about slot receiver, but I'm pretty sure I would pick them to finish last in the conference or district.

  A lot to take in, but here are the keys: Shanahan hasn't had a 1,000-yard rusher yet with the 49ers (he's only had one back get more than 200 carries), nor does any one of his running backs pick up a lot of touches, and his rookies have consistently been limited. These are the uphill battles Raheem Mostert, and especially Trey Sermon must face in order for one of them to become a quality Fantasy starter. Rankings change: No 49ers rusher should be confidently drafted until Round 7 at the earliest.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Yeah I would have thought one of those guiise would have hit a grand. Brieda was on his way that year but shit, he missed like 4 games and started a couple he couldn't finish.

EDIT: If Sermon can stay healthy I bet he hits at least 1K if not this year than next.

 

[HaroldSeattle]

: If Sermon can stay healthy I bet he hits at least 1K if not this year than next.

I can feel it in my bones that Sermon will hit a 1000 yards and over 200 carries, and I think he does that this season.

Sherman had just over 500 touches in 4 years at the college level in 43 games. On average he had about 12 touches a game

 

[DALLAScornhusker]

Problem hasn't been the production. Health plays a big part, as we've seen many times the lead runner in that offense any given week is a top 10 scorer. Mostert is older and couldn't hold up to being a bellcow. Sermon has had a couple injuries in college, so he's not immune. The likelihood that one or both he and Mostert will miss time this season is very high.

Given health, I think the floor and ceiling for Mostert is much lower. The floor for Sermon is tied to Mostert's ceiling. I feel like Sermon's ceiling is capped around that Hyde year. Draft both and the collective floor and ceiling are very high.

 

[TREFF]

Tough one to call in SF....of those @Bandit listed, only Hyde actually played in 16 games..and, well...he's Carlos Hyde...so...??
Is it by design that no one gets enough work to get 250+ carries and can never be a reliable, consistent fantasy producer? Or is it circumstances that come up, injuries, ineffectiveness which derailed the original plan, etc..? Heck, the fact that they haven't had consistency at all at the QB position, ..outside of '19, they've used 3 different starting QB's in all of Shanny's seasons.., that could be a factor in screwing with the running game as well.

They also have never had any one RB that was anything but slightly better than mediocre to lean on either.

Feel like there's never been any type of real baseline to be able to ever remotely figure out what might happen. We do know that whomever gets the call any given Sunday, can certainly have one helluva day, there just needs to be one that takes ownership of the spot, and then can stay off the trainers table

I found this fascinating. Numbers in each category (yards, touches, rookies) have gone down in each season. I am a big "trend" guy and this is not trending in the right direction for Sermon.

Richard Sherman is in deep doo doo

Well again, it needs mentioned that of all those guys, Hyde was the only one who played/started 16 games. Breida played 13 in '18, played in 13 again in '19, Mostert played in all 16 in '19, never started any, and didn't get a strong push until late in the season, and in '20, Wilson only played in 12 games. And like I previously mentioned, only two of those seasons did the Niners use less than 3 starting QB's over 16 games..there was zero consistency across the board to make any realistic judgements based on any of the data.

I don't think the numbers tell much of a story as to what Shanny could or would do IF he had a RB who could not only produce at high level, but actually stay active for an entire season. There's interesting things in those numbers, but I consider them largely irrelevant given all the circumstances.

That doesn't mean Sermon is that guy, but Shanny is no different than any other coach, if they find something, or someone, who gives them a better chance to win games, they will utilize them gameplans be damned.

Richard Sherman is in deep doo doo

Is he?
Attempted to break into a family members house? That's not really what I consider to be domestic violence but who knows with limited details available currently.

Sounds like an overreaction by the police, but we'll see where this ends up

Speaking Wednesday afternoon, Redmond (WA) police chief Darrell Lowe clarified free agent Richard Sherman attempted to break into the home of his in-laws around 2 AM Wednesday morning following a single-vehicle crash on the highway.​

Per Lowe, the domestic violence specification to the burglary charge is for his relations of the address' occupants, Sherman's wife's parents, "not because of violence against any family member or significant other." Sherman was initially pursued after running his SUV through a construction zone and into a concrete barrier where highway workers were present at the time. One of the workers called 911. Sherman's vehicle was found a half-mile away after it was no longer able to be driven. Sherman was suspected of DUI. A blood sample was taken when Sherman was treated at the hospital for minor injuries after a K9 dog had to be used to subdue Sherman

sounds like screwed to me
