    Obviously having a SB on the resume helps, but if a rookie was putting up 300+ 60%+ without throwing more picks than TD's I think most teams would be pretty damn happy with that. As to where they would rank without the resume to pad a ranking...well...QB play hasn't been that stellar across the...

    Isn't this a good bit how Big Ben has made his living in the NFL? Turning broken plays into monster gains? I'm not knocking Ben as a QB either, guy can play, but I don't think it should be a negative to make plays out of the pocket on extended/broken plays. Romo much as I hate to admit it...

    Rahim Moore style defense there. Holy fuck I forgot how bad that game was. Seattle never should have been in the SB.

    Basically what the label evolved into. Guys who weren't asked to throw the ball as much or make a lot of dangerous throws. The "good" ones at it would naturally have lower totals in each. I'm trying to think of "game managers" that have won SB's. Dilfer, maybe Brad Johnson qualifies with...

    I just think not a soul believes Palmer will make it through 16+ games healthy. If he does, landscape in the NFC changes I think, especially with Seattle's slow start.

    This scenario is basically impossible...but what if Cassel had to come in and leads the Cowboys to an 11-5 record. Only for them to somehow miss the playoffs.

    Those stats are sick. I will give Brady a nod with him being on pace for 6,000 yards and 56 TD's with 0 picks. Agreed on knowing fuckall right now too. A few things I think we can accurately guess at, but many others will change 2 or 3 more times before it's all settled.

    Lets be honest though, would it shock anyone if we somehow manage to beat the Giants Thursday night, and we spend another week making fun of Murray/Bradford/Chip Kelly against that Jets D only to watch the 0-3 in free fall Eagles run up 500 yards and 40 points against the 2-1 Skins in Week 4...

    If it's a ref to last year I get it completely, just didn't know why anyone would expect it not to take a game or two for him to get his game back. I'm assuming working him in slowly was the game plan all along, although maybe they should have used him more against San Fran given how putrid...

    Predictably not as good with only 13 touches compared to 31? Which point are you arguing here, that he gets paid to do nothing, or that we're going to only look at his numbers in his first game back in just under a year where they predictably would give him a lighter workload?

    They don't play the Cardinals until Week 10 though, and not the 2nd time until Week 17. As much as we kid about it, does anyone really expect Palmer to stay healthy the whole year? Chicago and Detroit the next 2 weeks should get them to 2-2. If they get a split after that against...

    Not sure why people think Seattle is definitely going to fall off either, it's not like they looked bad last night. When Wilson got turned loose and he was doing his thing, they looked dangerous as shit. Had the lead in the 4th. Was more about GB winning than Seattle being terrible or...

    It'll be great a few weeks down the road when half of the teams we think are solid completely fall off, and a couple teams we left for dead already rise up and get themselves back into the mix.

    I mean, they lost on the road in Denver, which is completely forgivable, followed by a shootout to the Raiders where they had a 3 point lead with 2:10 to go. Next 2 weeks will tell a lot about where the Ravens might end up. They could definitely have a turnaround, or they could sputter to...

    For a possible wild card? Sure. But that's their ceiling, they're not winning the East. And again, they could easily be one of the 3 teams out of the 7 I listed that will miss out.

    As far as the AFC goes, pretty sure the South will only send whoever wins that division (likely the Colts) to the playoffs, and that the Pats will win the East. That leaves Cincy, Pitt, Baltimore, Denver, KC, San Diego, and Buffalo fighting for 4 spots (2 division titles 2 wild cards). I...

    AFC North has an interesting next 2 weeks, Cincy plays at Baltimore this coming week, then hosts KC at home in Week 4. Steelers go to St. Louis next week, then have a quick turnaround and host the Ravens for the Thursday night game in Week 4. Browns for what it's worth host Oakland, but then...

    Yeah I was counting the Falcons as good. Not calling them a contender but I don't think it'll be an easy game next week at all. You outplayed the Giants with Romo though, and I doubt they're going to keep blowing 4th quarter leads every game.

    Depending on results of tonight's game, Redskins might end the week with #1 defense and rushing offense in the NFL. Jets could overtake them in rushing if they go for about 200 on the ground tonight. Obviously we're talking only 2 weeks here but that's light years better than we've been the...
