  1. Right. Because accuracy, great arm strength, and athleticism will translate to a poor QB?

    Look, I get it: people immediately like to typify him as a running quarterback because Cam Newton, Vince Young, and Mike Vick were/are all running quarterbacks. However ill informed of an idea this is, you're welcome to have it. However, it is absolutely false; Griffin is nothing like these quarterbacks, and the longer that you continue to insist he's one, the less amount of time you'll actually get to enjoy watching him play.

    And another thing, I don't want to hear anything about how defenses have "figured out" Cam Newton. He has balled out just as well this year as he has last year. The Panthers' early defensive struggles were projected onto Newton, partially because of his poor attitude after the Giants game, but it's telling when they haven't lost a game by more than a touchdown. I would consider them heavy playoff favorites next year.

    1- I didn't say he was "just a running QB", so I'm not "ill-informed"

    2- I never once said anything of Cam Newton.

    Now that you have your facts about my statement correct, I honestly don't think Griffin will continue at this level. His accuracy isn't as phenomenal as some will have you believe. Also, those traits don't make bad quarterbacks. Bad decision making does. His poor decision making skills when running or under pressure make him a serious injury and turnover liability.

  2. By big names, I mean people that if we go after, we will have to compete with the other 31 teams to get him (not literally all 31 other teams but you get what i mean), players where 2 or 3(max) teams will look to go after them ( I highlighted those where we will have tons of competition to get), hope that clears things up :)
    Yeah, I meant Dominique :P

    As for Jairus Byrd, I think he should be priority #1. He and Bethea would be scary in the defensive backfield.

  3. I'm not sure if you'd consider these guys big names, but here goes:

    Jairus Byrd (S) - Buffalo

    Felix Jones (RB) - Dallas (Who I think would be great here with Ballard, he just needs a good coach to push him to try)

    Josh Cribbs (WR) - Cleveland

    Connor Barwin (LB) - Houston

    Tracy Porter (CB) - Denver

    Delanie Walker (WR/TE) - San Fransisco

    Antonio Rodgers-Cromartie (CB) - Philadelphia

    Rey Maualuga (LB) - Cincinatti

    LaRon Landry (S) - Washington

    Glenn Dorsey (DL) - Kansas City

  4. Don't start a presidential argument, please. I don't feel like arguing right now. That other song was when the world was POed at our invasion of Iraq. A kneejerk reaction. It's long enough ago that that song shouldn't matter. I don't think he should be the Super Bowl halftime. There are much more deserving acts. My wish list includes Metallica and Green Day.
