    Flynn should go back to Green Bay so if the Packers wrap up a playoff spot early he can fill in for one game and get paid a ton of money again based on that one game.

    Would actually probably help Schaub. Doesn't matter where Flynn goes, the other QB's on the roster end up being better. Maybe the Giants can bring him in to fix Eli.

    Yeah, we can argue and quote stats in circles about these QB's, but in the end if one person doesn't believe the other is or isn't a passing/running QB I guess it doesn't matter. (Yes I know I am saying this after arguing it over the last two pages, oh well) So, is Houston really as terrible...

    It is always possible, but Google and Verizon have been having a spat ever since the VZW Galaxy Nexus. VZW wants their bloatware which on every phone on their network (and Google refused to put it on Nexus devices) and Google doesn't want the service providers to be a hurdle when it comes to...

    Not sure why you wouldn't on Kaep. Going back to last year and then his college years he put up great passing numbers. The Niners passing attack has stumbled this year, but as has been pointed out multiple times, Kaep only has Boldin and a hurt Davis to throw to right now.

    I would argue that Wilson and Kaep are also pass-first QB's who can also run.

    I was very concerned about the Niners run game earlier in the season. I'm not worried anymore other than Roman's tendency to try to out-think the room resulting in the Niners getting away from it.

    I think defense are playing it better then they were last year, but I kept trying to stress this last year, at least when it came to the 'Hawks and Niners, it only ever was a wrinkle in their offenses. Those offenses wasn't built around the read-option. Sure when it was wide open such as San...

    I'm in a virtual tie going into the game tonight, I have ATL D/ST, my opponent has T. Gonzalez. Not looking good, losing will drop me to 1-4 despite being the 3rd highest scoring team in my 10-team league.

    Sorry, kind of forgot I replied to this, sounds like what you are looking for and what I use are two different things. For just 9 employees over four shifts is it really that difficult/time consuming just to do it by hand each week? Granted I have a tool that helps somewhat with my...

    Let us not forget that Manning was throwing more INT's than TD's and looked very much the rookie (albeit a rookie with the potential for greatness) over his first 16 games as a pro. Of course you are going to notice a difference between a seasoned vet vs first and second year guys. That will...

    The thing about megapixels is that the quality is all relative to the size of the sensor. Too few or too many megapixels relative to the size of the sensor are both going to cause image quality issues. However, for the most part you won't notice these issues unless you are blowing up a...

    The majority of the 'so-called experts' I heard giving commentary on Tebow were all condemning his ability to play the QB position. The people calling for Tebow either loved him because he loved Jesus, bought into the whole "he just wins" mantra or just wanted to see the train-wreck ensue.

    Based on the eyeball test. Extremely subjective, yes, but there simply isn't enough data to make informative declarations yet so we can't go on any more than our personal opinions, and those of the so-called experts. You want to argue that we shouldn't be anointing them yet because they...

    I am getting worried about Kaepernick. I understand and agree with the fact that his current receiver corps isn't doing him any favors. Look at how much Tom Brady is struggling w/o any reliable pass-catching options. But can you imagine what Brady would be doing if he had at the very least...

    What made the N4 so great was the price and price-to-performance ratio. Don't get me wrong, it is a well built piece of equipment and had pretty nice ascetics, but price is what really drove the success of the N4. Everything in the manual leak looks great, but how much is it going to cost...

    You have the guy in there I would play, although his upside is limited with a healthy Bush out there. Only other choice might be Matthews but I think he is losing his job to Woodhead. Broyles still needs to prove it (and has had a poor showing of it so far), I haven't started an ARI RB in...

    You are not allowed to hit a 'defenseless' receiver in the head with any part of your body. Not your helmet, not your shoulder, not your hand, not your pinky toe. Whether you like the rule or not is another matter, but the rule states he did deserve a flag and does deserve a fine for that hit.

    It has been proven that RBI's are completely random and there is no such thing as clutch hitting. There is zero statistical evidence it exists and anything you interpret as clutch hitting is nothing more than random variance. Head over to Fangraphs and learn a thing or two.

    Niners tried to slip pre-season standout QB B.J. Daniels through waivers to get him on their practice squad, Seahawks claimed him. It is funny how the Niners and 'Hawks keep claiming each others players. I think Daniels could develop to be a great backup for I guess now Russel Wilson. I...

    My theory on the drama is part of it stems from all the shit women watch on TV. They think their life needs to be more aligned with the drama they see on television so they manufacturer nonsense to recreate that. This may be a (semi)subconscious reaction and could easily be hormone fueled as...

    Any phone I have kept for more than 2 years has had the charging port wear out eventually. Maybe it is just because I am clumsy and am not very careful in how I plug and unplug my phone, but regardless, that is the appeal of wireless charging for me.

    Good thing Goodell's plan didn't backfire and allow the Ravens to come up with an even BETTER game-plan that would have helped them stomp the Niners. It is not like both teams didn't have a chance to "regroup" and improve their game-plan during the blackout.
