QB battles in 2017

Few teams in the NFL are having troubles in designing their oppener QB, some of them drafted a QB, the other adquire them by the free agency and are fighting this pre season for the oppening job. In Houston Tom Savage is looking to hold off rookie Deshaun Watson for the starting position.. In Denver the second-year challenger Paxton Lynch against, also second year Trevor Siemian. For the Bears, it’s veteran Mike Glennon, traded from the TB Bucanners versus first roudn pick Mitchell Trubisky, and in Cleveland, it’s a three-way battle with second year Cody Kessler, Brock Osweiler traded from the Houston Texans, and rookie DeShone Kizer from the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Finally the  Jets quarterback position could be interesting with Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg pushing Josh McCown for the job. .

Why NFL Pre season is so boring?

NFL pre season is design to have four pratice games. It suposed to be for rookies and other members of the team to earn their place as starters. That is really important, but , the training camp and a couple of games would be enough to determine that. In my opinion it might take only a quarter or two of exhibition football and wait until real football is back in September. In the other hand, the games does not count, the startrers and the stars of the game barely play, the score doesn´t count  and most of the time is unuseless to watch it. Also, the stadiums are empty. Pre season football is even worse than the pro Bowl. The only reason to watch pre season games would be for the Quarterback battles, key depth chart battles, free agency additions and watch the noew coaches and systems. In my opinion is useless and boring... keep playing Madden

#BlackoutNFL

Football is not away from politics. In season 2016  the fromer 49 ers QB Colin Kapernick decided to kneel during the national anthem in protest for the police brutality against black people. Sonce then Kaprenick has been benched and after beeing realased from the 49ers he has not being signed by any other teams in the league. Allegedly by the owners that doesnt want to get invovled in politics or with ulltra nationalist fans. However, there is a new movement calling for boycott the NFL. #BlackoutNFL. In recent days, a video has been circulating on social media black men—covering their favorite NFL jerseys with a black T-shirt, protesting for Collin Kaprenick not being signed by any team.And that will be the question. The NFL owners are giving a deterrance with Colin Kaprenik? Warning all the players that they should behave in certain way? That definitely restricts the freedom of speach.

AFC South , who will be the king of this divition?

Colts, Jaguars, Texans and Titans will be fighting for the supremacy of the AFC south. Last year in 2016 season the Texans won the divition with serious doubts in the offense leaded by Brock Osweiler. But it was the defense who led them there. The other teams  had a difficlt time alomng the season. For example the Colts lose Andrew Luck for some games and the OL had problems to protect him. The Jaxonville jaguars had problems in their offense too, Blake Bortles wasn´t able to led an intresting offense. Finally from the Tenesee Titans, they showed a strong OL just below Dallas. They had a consistent Runnign game with DeMarco Murray and Marcus Mariota srate developing as a good QB. But, this will be different In my opinion, the battle for the divition will be between the Houston Texans and the Tenesee Titans. Houston texans have a  great defense, that defense led them to the divitional matchup lost against the New England Patriots in a game where the but the defense and the specia

After this wednesday joint  practice with the New England Patriots, the Houston texans Deshawn Watson has shown an advance in the training camps with Bill O Brien as Headcoach. After selecting him in the fisrt round of the Draft and showing good numbers and seems that Watson could lead and oofense that have had some difficulties in the past. With a strong defense the Houston Texans have great oportunities in a divition that will have strong opponents reforced in the draft and in the free agency. So, Watson is the young promise for the Houston texans offense, that have no option in choosing Tom Savage, or Brandon Weeden, both with no impresive numbers.
