I agree with Mark, not that it will implode, but that more than 3 days a week is tooo much, the now own Sunday and Monday which is fine, we all grew up that way, they recently added Thursday, as far as I'm concerned, thats fine ... however, I rarely watch the Thursday game unless it involves My team ... or I find nothing else on, so already they have lost this person for most of the 3rd day schedule, if they decide to add more days, Wednesday or Friday for example, I can see them moving to Fridays, hopefully ONLY after HS football is over.
College football is on at points in the season on 3 days a week, which is fine, it gives teams not in well known a chance to showcase them, you don't see the top 20 teams playing on Tuesday night.
With the NFL the extra night(s) will not be for exposure purpose.
I guess I am against expanding the NFL to more nights.
I also think it will make scheduling a nightmare ...
While were on it, lets QUIT with all these Pro teams in ALL Sports having regular season games outside of North America, if Buffalo wants to play in Canada, fine at least it's not across the pond.
Those across the pond have no real desire to have a team over there.

Being a Raider fan... I will take a wait a see approach. Alot of people said the same thing whne they picked up some noodle-armed QB named Rich Gannon.
Correct.... and he had MULTIPLE years of mediocre seasons and Schaub has only had one.
Even with a unhealthy O-Line, an glass chin RB in McFadden and a very inexperienced WR core...he put up decent numbers. He went to a team that had a better defense, better line and Larry Fitzgerald...and you see the end results.
Oh he got a fair shot...he just didn't have weapons whatsoever and a sometimes a very injured O-Line. Now if you say THAT is part of not given a "fair shot"...then, yes I would agree.
you don't have to play them 18 games
thought 14 was enough going to 16 they axed 2 pre season games and by then it was a full time job in the area of fitness. 18 games would be 50% more than Jim Brown a season.
comparing college with the NFL is not on target imo the good college teams have pre season on the little sisters of the poor anyway.
Again,I hope for you Raider fans that Schaub works out well.It would be a great resurrection for his career.As to Gannon,he had something Schaub doesn't,a running attack.

There have been significant changes to offseason and inseason workouts/practices that will make nfl seasons already less taxing on a player.

Yes they have,they are also considering expanding the roster for Thursday night games by 4,that will help teams on a short week.
Last season, yes, if I am correct, Foster was out quite a bit.
But I am sort of surprised as to how many think Schaub is done after only one bad season. I did not want Schaub and wanted Vick instead. Then draft Carr and slowly groom him. I thought Sanchez was an option as well. But, it is what it is and as a fan of your team, you really do not have a say on WHO your team picks up.
Yeah but college kids are ages 18-22 and therefore can start playing probably the day they are told they are on the team.
that's very easy for one who doesn't play to say. we certainly don't see the players with their hands up saying bring it on.
imo this sport is as hard on the body/brain as boxing they cut it back to 12 rounds 30 years ago. if this happens it's health of the players be damned give us the $$.
If players had a vote they wouldn't play Thursday nights either and I would side with them. It's not laziness, it's the physicality involved when you play in the NFL that doesn't compare to college or pretty much any other professional sport here in the U.S.
How did Sanchez get a shot at keeping his job if he was on the IR the entire season?
