If it ain´t broke don´t fix it.... or to put it bluntly, as Bear Bryant one said"If your winning, then your doing it right...if your losing then you would not be talking to me"
Kansas was robbed, they should be playing Ohio State! for the National Championship!
@ guard so your staying with the Jets?

NO! I did not say only Americans can play football! What I said is that their program has always had good American Players...the HC wanted a Better QB, hey can you blame him for wanting better? Thats the game, you are always looking for better talent. As for the Bull Crap of using local and youth players...Bs Lions have stolen, recruited and charmed players from Hamburg and all areas of germany to play for them...they have always wanted the BEST, German or American! so this change in the Management is a made up story...what it was , was who is in charge, the Coach or the Clowns. I guess the circus is in town.
Sorry for the Clown remark...not all Managers are clowns, but 1 or 2 is all you need.

Nur das der Erfolgt nicht nur im Gewinnen liegt sondern auch hauptsächlich in der Ausbildung deutscher Spieler liegen sollte.
ich finde es richtig das man mit DZ weitermacht.
Jets ? Wie kommst du denn jetzt darauf.
Bis dato trinke ich nur noch Bier und nörgel das früher alles besser war
Du wirst niemals Gewinnen, wenn du nicht den Typen vor dir schlägst. Das Ergebnis auf der Anzeigetafel ist unwichtig. Das ist nur für die Fans. Du musst den Krieg gegen deinen Gegenspieler gewinnen. Du musst deinen Mann stehen.
@Boomy
No problemo....but at the higer levels the Skill Positions can be real tough to fill, so you need the best and americans sometimes...I SAID "SOMETIMES EVERYONE"...are that. QB hey you always want the best.

der texaner ignoriert lediglich die entwicklung der letzten 10 jahre..
der hype ist vorbei.. die party geht dem ende zu.. ehemalige Zuschauer könige wie HH und BS kommen langsam wieder auf den boden der deutschen tatsachen zurück.. noch 2 jahre dann wird selbst bs wieder vor den 1000- 2000 football fans spielen wie alle andern..
mittlerweile haben (fast) alle GFL teams die zeichen der zeit erkannt.. konzentrieren sich auf die jugend, machen 2. mannschaften auf, deutsche trainer, usw....
sehr unsexy, nicht spektakulär, piefig wie das deutsche vereinswesen nun mal ist...
ABER..
mit dem system kann man in deutschland weltmeister, europameister und olympia sieger machen...
und irgendwann... VIELLEICHT auch mal profi sport....

I have seen the sport only for 9 years...in Germany, what I have seen is that its in a bad way now.
1. NFLE gone
2. GFL clubs losing support, true
3. Fiasco at German Bowl this year...Tickets, space available, prices...maybe resloved with Frankfurt.
4. Youth programs, here in Hessen , not so good. Better Coaching, but losing so many youth players after 19 years old.
5. Push for Pro now...you cannot wait, because in 5 years the intrest of the young ones will be gone, because no NFL/NFLE influence.
6. Better play in lower liga yes, but not enough to make the difference.
7. Skill postions still very weak.
hey we will see, I am not going anywhere , so I will still be a big fan.

In dieser Hinsicht handelt es sich nicht um Konkurrenten, sondern gleichfalls betroffene...
Also 'Wir' haben ohne jedwede Importunterstützung ganz ordentlich gespielt in dieser Saison...

my advantage is that I know this sport in germany for 25 years..
I saw them all come... all the gernerts, Anderson (who was not a very good receiver on the field;-)) NFLE, and so on..
and you know what?? I saw most of them gone also..
so many semi-pro dreamers came... and failed..
who pushed pro in the states, when colleges startet the game?
how long did it last from there to the first pro-meeting in canton?
how long needed the nfl for what they are today?
you might force evolution, maybe push...
but you can not jump over the steps of evolution..
Nun ja, der Vergleich der Entwicklung in den USA bringt im Hinblick nicht mehr, als den Hinweis, dass es lange dauer kann.
Wenn man denn will.
In D sieht die Null, bei der man anfängt schon etwas anders aus.

True...
the gamed evolved slowly...The first game of intercollegiate football in America between two American colleges that most resembles the game of today was between Tufts University and Harvard on June 4, 1875 at Jarvis Field in Cambridge, Mass., won by Tufts 1-0 [6]. A report of the outcome of this game appeared in the Boston Daily Globe of June 5, 1875. Jarvis Field was at the time a patch of land at the northern point of the Harvard campus, bordered by Everett and Jarvis Sts. to the north and south, and Oxford St. and Massachusetts Avenue to the east and west. In the Tufts/Harvard game participants were allowed to pick up the ball and run with it, each side fielded eleven men, the ball carrier was stopped by knocking him down or 'tackling' him, and the inflated ball was egg-shaped - the combination of which marks this game as the first game of American Football. A photograph of the 1875 Tufts team hangs in the College Football Hall of Fame in South Bend, Indiana. Harvard and Yale also began play in 1875 though under rules that made their game, as well as the aforementioned Princeton/Rutgers game, significantly different from what we know as American Football compared to the Tufts/Harvard contest which is more closely the antecedent to American Football than these other games. The longest running rivalry and most played game between two American colleges is between Lafayette College and Lehigh University.
Walter Camp, known as the "Father of American Football", is credited with changing the game from a variation of rugby into a unique sport. Camp is responsible for pioneering the play from scrimmage (earlier games featured a rugby scrum), most of the modern elements of scoring, the eleven-man team, and the traditional offensive setup of the seven-man line and the four-man backfield. Camp also had a hand in popularizing the game. He published numerous articles in publications such as Collier's Weekly and Harper's Weekly, and he chose the first College Football All-America Team
Early-day pro football historians agreed that a 16-year-old quarterback from Indiana College in Pennsylvania, John Brallier, had become the first pro football player when he accepted $10 and "cakes" (expenses) to play for the Latrobe, PA, town team against neighboring Jeannette on September 3, 1895.
Hope springs eternal
10€ plus gas and Burger King...I think that would make many players want pro ball here.
