    Why does everyone say Denver is a better team than the Patriots?

    in NFL General

    Posted

    Well, in all honesty. the Broncos are, in fact, the best team in the AFC.  Does that mean that they will sweep the AFC?  Of course not.  Even the best teams lose, that's why going undefeated is such a rarity.  The Patriots are, obviously, the closest to them I believe.  However, with both teams at 100% I would put my money on the Broncos.

     

     

    As a Colts fan, I'm not "scared" of any team in the NFL.  I know the Colts are capable of beating them all.  It doesn't necessarily mean they're BETTER than all of them.  Like last year, the Colts beat the Seahawks, Broncos, AND 49ers.  In my heart of hearts, I don't think the Colts are better or as good as them.  We just managed to pull off the upset. (Also caught the Broncos when Manning had the ankle issues and wasn't quite as ridiculous)

    Davin Joseph

    He's an interesting guy.  He was really good early on in his career, then he declined a bit.  He had some injuries, so maybe that hurt his production a bit.  I don't think he'd be too expensive, and he'd likely be the best Guard on our team if we were to sign him.  (Which isn't saying much, I know)

    Or.....Maybe, just maybe. He got better? And he didnt seem to cause a single problem in New England. You listen to the media too much and what people say, who are you to call the guy a head case..you act like you know him. All i know is i would rather have Talib covering the other teams best WR as opposed to Davis. Vontae is way too inconsistent for the price that hes asking.

     

    IDK, the media for the most part has been way positive on Talib of late.  So, not sure that's a reason I wouldn't like him.  He's a headcase because I've seen him get easily frustrated, and benched for poor play (even when on the patriots) after getting upset.  He starts committing penalties and costs the team.

     

    Yes, Vontae is inconsistent, but over his career, Talib has proven to be inconsistent as well.  Also, like you said... Maybe, just maybe...Vontae will get better?  Why is is possible that Talib got better, but Vontae wont?

     

    I'm not saying Talib is a bum, or he's bad.  He's a really talented player.  He's just not more than MAYBE a slight upgrade over Davis, and since they're going to cost about the same amount of money. (I think Talib will end up asking for more money)  I'd rather have the guy who knows the system and the locker room.

    Huh. I don't get the Davis hate. Sure, he may be asking for too much money, but can you blame him? Get what you can while you can...

    Also , there's really no replacement for him in FA this year. Certainly no "cheap" option. People keep throwing Verners name around, and he's really not an option for us. He's a zone corner, who is going to be asking just as much as Davis.

    For what we do, Davis is the best option.

     

    Edit:  Also, as someone who lives in the Tampa area and has watched him since his rookie year, Talib isn't really much better than Davis.  You wanna talk about inconsistent? lol  Also, he's a complete head case.  Yeah, he had his best year last year, but surprise, it was a contract year, and in Belichick's defense.  He will also cost just as much if not more.

    The Colts Need to Make the Next Three Years Count

    This is spot on.  Luck, whether he demands it or not, is going to make $19+ a year after  his rookie contract.  That's how the business works.  We have a fairly short window of opportunity to field a great team along side what seems to be a franchise QB.  After these next few years, we're gonna be right back where we were with Peyton. (Not to make that seem like a bad thing...we had a lot of great years.)  I'd just like to see us win as a  team before we're forced to put it all on our QB because we can't afford a defense again.

     

     

    Also, for those who think he wont be WORTH the huge contract, it doesn't matter really.  He's at the very least a good QB, so he will get Elite QB money.  See Joe Flacco.

    Sapp says Strahan is not hall of fame worthy

    Pretty strong comments from Sapp on Strahan not having the resume to get into the hall of fame. I find this interesting as I always thought Strahan was a much better player then Sapp who was surrounded by great talent in Tampa.

     

     

    I don't really agree with Sapp's comments, but I'd say Sapp was a better player than Strahan.  The Bucs defense started with him.  Yes, there was other talent, but he was the one who made it all go.  This is coming from someone who lives in Tampa and has seen hundreds of Bucs games/press conferences over the years.   Is he a loudmouth? Sure, but no worse than most of them.  Is he overrated like many think he is? definitely not.
