2010 NFL Draft: John Skelton the Gem of This Year’s Draft

Posted: 17th April 2010 by Bubba Gill in NFL
John Skelton is by far the gem of this years draft. The 6'5" Fordham product has produced over 9,900 yards of passing and 69 touchdowns in the last three seasons. Since he has started he has not had a QB rating lower then 127. Last season alone his QB rating was a astounding 150. Fordham went mining for a gem and found John Skelton. His body is the size of ...

C.J. Spiller: Another Debate on the Clemson Tiger Great

Posted: 7th April 2010 by Bubba Gill in NFL
Well, here we go Seahawk fans with another focus on Clemson running back C.J. Spiller. I wrote an article about why the Seattle Seahawks should not draft C.J. Spiller with the sixth pick because of the money issue. I received many comments that basically said not to judge a player because of his stats. Since stats mean nothing to the football world, I thought it would be fun to post a ...
  Countless Seahawk fans have felt that the Seattle Seahawks need to draft an offensive play-maker in the NFL. I do not disagree at all. The fact that a 5'8'' running back named Justin Forsett was our highlight on offense for 2009, speaks volumes of how inept tht Seahawks offensve was last year.  I have discussed with many of our fellow Seahawks fans about this important topic: Who would immediately bolster the ...
I have heard so much about this coming draft relating to the Seahawks and who they should draft. Well, here is my question to you, my fellow Seahawk fans. What will we do if the big five are already drafted? When I say the big five, I mean QB Sam Bradford, DT Ndamukong Suh, DT Gerald McCoy, S Eric Berry, and LT Russell Okung. Well, what would the Seattle Seahawks organization do? Many people have ...

Pete Carroll: In Pete I Trust

Posted: 23rd March 2010 by Bubba Gill in NFL
On Jan. 11, 2010 Pete Carroll stepped down as the head football coach of the USC Trojans. Pete Carroll has been a NFL coach and head coach as well as one of the most dominate college coachs in the past decade. I know that people look at his NFL career and say he isn't fit for the NFL. The 1994 N.Y. Jets went 6-10, not that impressive for a first year head ...
Charlie Whitehurst was drafted by the San Diego Chargers in the third round of the 2006 Draft. He is a promising quarterback who has the skill set and arm to play in the NFL. This is what si.com had scouted on him before he was drafted. Positives: Nice-sized athletic passer with an inconsistent game. Displays a sense of timing, sets up with proper fundamentals and quickly releases the ball. Tough, stands ...

The New Identity of the Seattle Seahawks

Posted: 17th March 2010 by Bubba Gill in NFL
With the departure of Rob Sims to another team today or tomorrow, you have to wonder what is the Seahawks front office doing? Well, simply put they are cutting ties with older, expensive players. With the exception of Darryl Tapp, whom I will miss, most of the decisions are pretty sound. Hopefully Kearney and Branch are next. Deon Grant had $17 million left on his contract and was burned often. He was ...

Darryl Tapp Traded To Philly

Posted: 16th March 2010 by Bubba Gill in NFL
Darryl Tapp has been traded to the Philadelphia Eagles. The deal includes Chris Clemons and a 2010 fourth round pick. I'm also scratching my head...Chris who? Chris Clemons a 6'2", 240 pound DE/LB. Clemons started his career in Oakland after being drafted as a rookie free agent in 2003. Clemons, a seven-year veteran, had an average season last year for Eagles.    2009 Stat Totals: 9 Tckls, 7 solo Tckls, and 3 sacks. Career Totals: ...

Seattle Seahawks’ Deon Grant Released

Posted: 15th March 2010 by Bubba Gill in NFL
Deon Grant has been released by the Seattle Seahawks. Adam Schefter ESPN has posted on his Twitter account. Grant's time served here was nothing short of great. He was the one DB I as a fan could count on. He was said to have 17 million in un-guaranteed money left on his contract. With that being said I do firmly believe that Seattle will draft Eric Berry or Taylor Mays come April. If ...
