too soon for an NFL thread?

On the day of Ray Lewis announcing his retirement, here is some interesting info:

Self promotion vs humility

HOLY SHIT

Nice Stats Christian Ponder!!

That's what you meant, right?
I mean , that's gotta be a QB rating in the 140's right there

How long have they been keeping dick stabbing stats? Only the past few years isn't it?

Yes, only since 2008. And while the traditional DS stat is useful, I find ESPN's new DSR index to be much more comprehensive and telling.

Geez, do you bow down to your new savior before every game? You do realize he's a human being like the rest of us right?

[DaBoltsNIsles]

Obviously you do or you wouldn't think he's Jesus. It's just a game. Only one fanbase is happy after the year is over.

Why is this thread still going? The NFL season is over. :p

It was 20 years ago today that the Buffalo Bills came back from a 35-3 deficit (in the third quarter) to defeat the Houston Oilers and Warren Moon 41-38 in OT in the 1993 NFL wildcard playoff game. It's still an NFL record.

I remember it well and what an incredible comeback.

The Bills had the Reich stuff that day, Boss...

They sure did dash. A lot of people also forget that Thurman Thomas left the game in the third quarter injured and Cornelius Bennett didn't play at all because of an injury. What a great game I just wish....................

Ray Lewis to ESPN makes sense. Thought he would take a stab at being a full-time motivational speaker though.

That's some sharp humour there.

Chiefs? I thought Arizona was hot for Andy. Hmmmm It's going to be interesting with the coaching shuffle.

The Chiefs have offered Reid full control of their organization. He would be the head coach & have the final say on player personnel decisions.

All solid candidates. The only question I have about Kelly is what kind of offense would he run in the NFL. I imagine he would adjust to the players he has on the roster. He's an innovator so that's a plus. The fact Belicek went to watch his practiceses speaks volumes.

The questions you ask are the exact reason I want Kelly in Buffalo.

There's a couple solid guys looking for jobs (I like Smith for instance), but I'd much rather have a new guy.

Well that explains that. It's a nice offer and can understand why he would jump at it.

That's the reason they gave on Disney anyway. Can't blame him one bit for taking advantage of a great opportunity like that. Apparently he had the final say in Philly for the past two years.

I think it would be fun to watch what Kelly does because we've seen a transformation at the QB position the past two years. Cam Newton, RG3, Kaepernick, Wilson can all run & throw the ball.

I know the Panthers haven't let Rivera go, but Kelly would probably be a great fit their with Newton & their three RB's.

The name that I'm surprised hasn't gotten much attention from NFL teams is David Shaw the head coach at Stanford.

I'm curious to see the transition from college to pro with his style of offense. So much of Oregon's success on offense is due to their speed, something that is almost always negated in the NFL. It's the reason Reggie Bush is a mediocre RB, why the option doesn't work, and why so many wideouts that use to burn guys in college are merely special teamers at this point. The speed and intelligence of defenders in the pros compared to college may make Chip Kelly a risky choice for head coach.
