Lamar. Not even a debate.
Lamar. Not even a debate.
No. Why Mahomes? He is not agile or fast enough to play flag. That’s a dumb choice.
Replace pat with nix and we good (I’m biased)
All fun and games until somebody gets hurt…just before the regular season.
Practice squad guys could take the gold 😂
It’s flag football you don’t need edge rushers just dbs
How about making team USA out of actual flag football players? There's zero reason why an NFL player should be picked over a guy who's actually been playing flag football either professionally or as an amateur.
I’d rather watch breakdancing
Dolphins fan, huh? That makes sense 🤣
Cut Mahomes. Give me a gunslinger with speed. Jackson or Daniels. Keep Jefferson. Gibbs in at RB. Chase in at WR. Lamb at WR. If I have to play a TE slot Mcbride instead of Lamb.
Take Pat out and slot in Lamar. In flag football I’ll take his shiftiness.
Exactly. You would want the most elusive QB possible in flag football. NO ONE does that better than Lamar.
I’d take Bo nix before Mahomes
None. They already have jobs and do not belong in this Olympic sport.
I’m old enough to remember the Pro Bowl rookie touch football game on the beach, as does every Patriot fan. I’d bet Robert Edwards would advise against this.
Well Patrick would love no one being able to touch him 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
on Defense Jared Verse
Patrick Surtain II. Possibly Travis Hunter to play both ways.
How good does a defensive player have to be to pull a flag?
Nabers, Chase and BTJ on offense
I’m on the Lamar bandwagon at QB.
Fred Warner should be the given one on defense, not MP.
Gibbs
Flag football? Justin Fields has got to be on that team.
Anybody from the Miami Dolphins, since they have been playing flag football for the last four seasons.
Y'all missing a coach
Can we all acknowledge that Tyreek Hill would be awesome, yet I want to root for him like I want whooping cough
Am I the only one who thinks letting NFL players represent the US in what is supposed to be an amateur competition is greedy, sleezy, and cheesy? If they don't win their damn gold medal, the Commissioner who led this decision-making should fire them.
Flag football is a whole different skill set. Also NHL players are allowed in Olympic play, they're just spread out over maybe 4-5 countries rather than one or two.
Saquan for the win
I really think putting NFL players into a fundamentally different code of football, that asks for different skill sets, could backfire. Ask any MMA fighter who decided to try boxing and ended up looking at the lights at the hands of Jake Paul.
Jake Paul should fight a professional boxer, instead of people from the Rocky Marciano era. Just one.
I mean yeah but he's the easiest example. MMA and boxing, skiing and snowboarding, cricket and baseball, tennis and pickleball, a hop to a nearby sport always comes with a change in the things valued and asked of you and it's so, so easy to underestimate the translation.
Even basketball to 3x3 can come fraught with challenges. When elite play is measured and differentiated at the margins, changing what those margins are can be all it takes. You don't see many esports pros get to the top in multiple games.
Great point Aaron. Michael Jordan learned the hard way and moved on. Jake Paul followed the money. He ‘s not stupid.
Flag football with nfl players is the dumbest idea yet. Teams will not let players making hundreds of millions of dollars risk injury
The reason why it’s blowing up today is because the NFL gave the green light for them to play. I was thinking the same as you but when you think about it, this isn’t much different than the NBA letting them play
The basketball Olympic team should be made of college players at best. The Olympics were never about pro athletes, but somehow the Olympics committee let they happen.
I mean we talking the 70s-80s when they started letting the pros play I don’t disagree with letting the original flag team play as it really is a different sport I also have a hard time risking a loss in the first ever “football” game where the game was created. I hope they do a tryout at least
I agree. IMO, the dream team was the beginning of the end. I understand that pro athletes take pride in representing their country, but at the same time, they prevent amateurs from doing something that's always been about them.
I can see that. It would be different if every country didn’t use pros but they all do. I always saw the Olympics as the 1% vs the 1% To me it’s a country pride thing. I’d rather give us the best advantage to win a sport we created on our home soil for the first time with the best of the best
I see your point but disagree in that football is a more contact sport. As for it being flag football, I recall separating my shoulder in a “touch” football game . Stuff happens and my boss wasn’t happy. I imagine owners being the same if a key player was hurt
Oh I def agree. It’s a risk and Flag is a different sport. But guys like JJ and Chase will have no problem playing. QBs and Dbs is a different story tho Besides there are a healthy amount of foreigners that play in the NFL If Canadians beat us in the first “football” game on our soil 😭
Xavier Worthy. 4.21
Gibbs
Yahmyr Gibbs JJ Watt
This is so stupid Nobody cares about this The Olympics doesn’t need more events it needs less It needs a FOCUS
You can, however, add all the Dallas Cowboys you want.
No 49ers please. Had enough injuries last season. We don't need torn ACLs playing Flag.
Allen or Burrows at QB
RB has to be Saquon, Henry can’t use his size. WR2 has to be Tyreek or Metcalf (he has size to catch over defenders and speed).
Its flag football your entire defense are corner backs and your offense is Lamar with the fastest recievers
Travis Hunter can fill both sides
Lamar would run circles around anyone chasing him.
Strange, people fighting over the second and third best quarter back. Guess I’m stuck with the MVP Josh.
This is hilarious… what other countries would even participate? Canada would be the only other country that dares to call this football.
2 allpro linemen and a tight end On defense One all pro lineman One line backer 2 corners 1 safety
Travis hunter for sure. Two way players are too valuable. Just nobody from my team, I don’t need any broncos getting hurt.
I’m taking Josh Allen over Pat at QB.
It amazes me how many people don’t get Josh Allen.
It’s flag football. Lamar is the QB.
Derick Henry!!
Pfft Allen over Mahomes
Mahomes had titles Allen has snow
And you folks wonder why NO ONE takes you seriously!
Why!!? We already have amazing flag football players representing the US. All of a sudden they are flag football players?? I'm sorry tackle football didn't make it to the Olympics 🤦🏽♀️
