    I don't see the real difference in being very efficient on short/medium routes leading guy for more YAC. If the D knows you're throwing short more, it should be far easier to prevent Smith from having such a high yards per attempt. The guy was playing extremely efficiently, and that counts for...

    His QBR was behind them, but he was still like 7th in the whole league. When you're TD/Int ratio is 2.6/1, you have the 3rd highest yards per attempt in the league, and the highest completion percentage in the league...you were doing something right.

    You have to admit that he's still in the 10-15 range, which is top half. It's hard for me to instantly throw some of the rookies that high in my QB rankings (even though 3 of them have had pretty damn good years), and there are plenty of QB's starting in this league that are worse than Joe Flacco.

    Jack Reacher 2012-Tom Cruise.

    Pretty much this. Maybe it helps if we haven't read the books, because I found it entertaining. The head villain was extremely over the top, but I didn't let it detract from all the things I thought were pretty good about the movie. I could easily see them adapting more of the books and...

    We definitely have our share of bad fans too, just not nearly as many as Ravens I've found. Well of course Romo is going to end up with 300+ yards against our pass D, one way or the other. Question is can our O keep up and will Romo pull some Romo with some turnovers.

    I don't think it's a lock or even likely to happen probably, but it might if they want to make a change.

    I guess we can assume he wouldn't be on your list of possibles then if Lovie Smith gets canned?

    Okay okay, I could buy building...between the fans at least, not so much the teams. We're not even a playoff team yet although I'm thrilled with a winning season. Still plenty of holes to fill even if we were mostly healthy before I would think we're a consistent playoff team. We've had the...

    It's not really a rivalry, Baltimore's been a better organization for 10+ years now. When you only play every 4 years it's hard to really develop a rivalry. Most Skins fans I know (myself included) mainly just can't stand the 90% of Ravens fans that act like they are the elite of the elite in...

    Can't take a joke? I would have been happy with 8-8 this year, which I've said all along. Everything beyond that now is a bonus. It's a little early to write his career off when he's missed one start and it was a game in which he wanted to play in, but haters going to hate. I still don't...

    I love Joe! The only QB this year who didn't manage to throw for 200+ yards against our D. Fortunately the Giants put him JUST back on pace to break 4,000 yards passing for the first time in his career.

    Honestly I think his numbers (or Russel Wilson's for that matter) would deserve it over Luck's to any objective observer.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Chewbacca I believe...and the outrage was funny considering he was essentially told that it had to happen in the book before he even wrote it. That said, Salvatore could not do justice to GoT at all. I'm sure there are a few authors who could pull it off, but I just hope GRRM manages to...

    NHL 2012-13 - Half Season Thread

    I'll cling to the hope they can still pull off a deal until they actually cancel the season, but my optimism for it is about down to nil at this point.

    Gonzalez's season was more impressive as well. Led the entire NFL as a TE in catches when he set the record in '04, was 7th in the entire NFL in receiving yards. More yards and TD's than Witten is on pace for this year too.

    2012 NFL Season

    I'm sure we'd hear more about it if it was a slightly older record and a little more iconic. Romo already targets Witten a ton and has been chucking the ball a ton this year (already more than he has in any other season)...although I do think it should get some attention since Megatron is...

    2012 NFL Season

    If anything has been proven the last couple years...it's that teams will overpay for QB. Think what the Raiders actually traded for Carson Palmer? Hell even we (Skins) are guilty of it with Mcnabb. I'd rather keep the guy while he's cheap to be a reliable backup but if you're going to be a...

    2012 NFL Season

    It's just the thought process that if we could get a 2nd rounder for him would help us since we gave up so much to move up for RG3. I'm with your thinking though that we should keep him while he's cheap...even if I think the whole injury prone thing is a little early given he's missed 1 career...

    About the only positive I can see from Dallas winning this week...long as we take care of business too it virtually locks the Giants out of the division title (barring them winning their last 2 and us tying Dallas in 2 weeks).

    McCoy will return and start for Eagles against Skins. RG3 practiced fully and could be cleared to play as early as tomorrow as long as there are no setbacks. Crazy to think Giants could actually be eliminated from playoff contention this week if things go right.

    As a permanent backup who could fill in a few games, he had his moments. As a starter he was 50-74 for his career.

    True, but it's about the only thing they have in common with Johnson. Combined that entire group has 2 playoff victories, and not a one of them accounted for enough wins as a starter on their own to win a division title, while Johnson did it twice.

    2012 NFL Season

    I remember the Skins last division title...Brad Johnson threw for 4000 yards that year, 24 TD's 13 picks. Pretty solid numbers back then. Then Jeff George happened. No one ever would confuse Johnson with "elite" but he wasn't bad by any stretch either.

    All 3 have been tremendous. Obviously only 14 games into their careers but so far they are making a case to be included among the best QB classes ever. I know Luck or RG3 would love to have the defense that Wilson is blessed with. Wilson and RG3 would probably like to have had Luck's easy...

    2012 NFL Season

    Looks like the Rick Reilly article from earlier in the year. He has a super hard on for Luck. He does throw a higher percentage of shorter passes, but does a better job of leading receivers and the offense is designed to get a lot of YAC...a major reason we went after Garcon in free agency...

    Don't tell this to RG3 haters...who continue to cling to the idea that he throws more short passes. He leads the league in yards per attempt right now among qualified QB's.

    He should call himself out for that throw in OT. Not the best route but he threw well behind his guy which helped the pick to happen. No idea if it was the certain plays that resulted in the asstastic protection they had called on the 2 consecutive sacks that killed them right after they had...

    Apparently the only other QB's to post multiple sub 1.0 QBR games over the past 5 seasons were Mark Sanchez and John Skelton. Flacco better go nuts in the playoffs or he might not get that extension offer.

    I just remember Reed throwing a tantrum on the sideline after Denver went up 24-3 on the long TD pass. Maybe he should have gotten mad at his QB, who posted the 2nd lowest QBR rating of the year at 0.4...not quite topping the lowest QBR this season, which was again Joe Flacco against Houston...
