Actually, Cruz makes sense. Still young, proven, and our first rounder is in the mid-20s. Then again I think the Giants would match whatever we offered him.
-
Colts are better, I'd like to see the pats make a cap with as many hall of famers/Defensive MVPs/NFL MVPs/pro bowlers as the Colts did. Sanders, Manning, Harrison, Wayne, Saturday, Edge, Glenn, Freeney, Mathis, ClarkShrew business men and the best capolgists in the NFL today.
-
What better way to give it back to Elway than to take an important part of his defense?
-
Him and Mathis have been the most reliable guys on our D for the last 5 years.Love the Colts. Bethea is more of a SS than a FS. Lots of Tackles. NEVER turns the ball over. Overpaid. I would not expect him to be resigned after this season. We will draft his replacement or find someone better. JMO.

Our win against the Ravens en route to our last SB win thanks Mr. Belichik's preference of 1 extra 3rd string player.Well in the past he hasn't spent big on secondary cus'..well they get injured too much. So he goes with the hodge pod and relies on front seven.
Also I quoted the wrong quote, sorry.
-
Fairly biased article. Uses Adam Vinatieri as an example of a good cut Bill made, except for he's been very reliable for us for 6 or 7 years and was superb in our SB run.I posted this on the other thread as well. Great article on how Belichick knows when to move on from a player, http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/9051254/bill-barnwell-second-day-nfl-free-agency
Also completely ignores Asante Samuel
-
I felt his signings were all very responsible. No one has really been paid enough to put us in a bad situation with the cap and at the same time we are spending what we have to help is improve in a lot of areas.
I'd much rather have 6 or 7 FA's in the $3M-$7M range, than 1-2 guys in the $8M-$12M
-
So they're wrong and I should expect him to be great?Well I guess it is a good thing that the average fan really has no idea of what they are looking at.
-
I never paid attention to Walden when watching Green Bay, but guys that I do know that have watched him haven't been very positive.
-
I'm not trying to send this off-topic but Manning's arm should actually be better next year.Luck is this coming seasons MVP.....
Indy is going to be hard to hand on O. And as great as Denver looks, Manning is one year older and his arm is just not the same.
I'm kinda hoping for Jennings signing right now. Indy was rumored to be "in the hunt" for Welker? Soooooo are they looking?
-
It's obvious Brady only took the deal he did because his wife makes so much money.
This stuff shouldn't be allowed when teams are forced to pay guys like Flacco and Eli $20m. The Tapetriots look for every edge apparently.
Not every QB can be so blessed to have a soon-to-be billionaire wife so he can exploit the system and screw every other QB trying to get a contract for his family for the next half-decade.
Also how dare he put so much pressure on Giselle to make sure they can clothe their children. The woman had an amazing career infront of her before she met this leech.
-
I'm nervous if this is true. I thought he was a one-trick, rush the outside, speed DE that put up inflated numbers because of the great D-Line he had around him.
-
I feel like a kid on Christmas.

Flacco doesn't have the same kind of star power as Brady does. Even when Brady/Manning/Brees is gone, Luck/RG3/Rodgers are still going to be getting all the attention. Flacco needs to get his money while he can, because he's not going to get it from endorsements like the aforementioned.Flacco shouldn't have been the highest paid player.
Take a page out of Brady's book and take a pay cut to keep players on your team.
Why must you have to be the highest paid player in the NFL? Instead of gutting your team of money, take a pay cut of 30 or 40 million dollars so your team can make another run to the Super Bowl.
Boldin shouldn't retire, the guy has a lot left in the tank, unless he wants to end his career on a high note and just retire a champion.
Brady also has a wife who makes A LOT more than any of the players above do.
-
Well let's see what Fleener and Allen can do.The Colts have never had a guy, that you could throw too, even when covered and know that he was going to go up and take the ball away from the defender.
-
I'm 23, have had 3 concussions, and I'm fien.People need to stop acting like he will be the next Junior Seau. Collie has had 2-3 concussions. Guys who played earlier suffered many more than that. I don't see Aikman, Bradshaw, and Steve Young drinking out of sippy cups. That's not to say collie shouldn't take his concussions seriously, but people are over reacting and playing doctor

I live in Canada, I think the only games I didn't have to stream were against the AFC East/NFC NorthAny game that Virginia will let me see -__-
HATED last year, barely got any of our games. Hopefully that 11-5 record gave us some more respect from CBS, NBC, FOX, & ESPN

Literally my only comment on Flacco was "I can almost guarantee that his % against the cap will be less than that of Manning, Brees, E. Manning etc. when they signed their latest contracts."Not calling you out. We were discussing this exact thing regarding Flacco so it made sense to post this here.
I think the one thing we learned is that rings or in this case one ring commands more money than stats.
I think you may have mis-read King's article. I posted the link on the other thread and pulled out the pertinent quotes. Also here is King's interview from WEEI when he specficially says Brady took a 30-40 percent discount in 2005. He says it in the first two minutes so you don't have to listen to the rest. The whole interview is actually great and worth listening to as King talks about the entire league and QB salaries. Good stuff all around, http://audio.weei.com/a/71516175/peter-king-si-on-brady-s-deal.htm
This quote still might be true. Although I doubt it and I have said Flacco got more than I believed he would. A lot more.
Yes you are calling me out/trolling. If you have an inflammatory comment like that where you mention me in a thread I haven't even commented in you are obviously itching for a fight. Feel free to PM me if you have those urges about me in the future.

Note how it is one sentence. Note how he includes Flacco who wasn't in the league in 2005. Note how he says over the next 6 years.At a time when the growing market for quarterbacks pegs the average per year at about $20 million -- Drew Brees and Peyton Manning are there, and it's likely Super Bowl champ Joe Flacco will be there soon -- Brady's average over the next six years will be consistently about 30 percent lower. [King is
I don't know King that well, but it is becoming more apparent to me that he is a bad writer. In the radio interview he does say 30% about 2005. But there is no argument that he also says 30% about his current extension. Is it a coincidence or is King just getting his numbers mixed up? Either way you think a proffesional writer would be more clear.
Anyways, the more I've thought about it the more this is all ridiculous;
Brady never signed a new contract, he signed extensions. He signed when the Pats still had all the leverage (I believe he signed extensions when the Pats still had him locked up for more than a year as well, meaning even more leverage their way). We're trying to compare a contract like that to guys like Peyton, Brees, Flacco who all signed new contracts where they had all the leverage.
-
I never said anywhere that Flacco was going to give the Ravens a 30% deal, you have reading comprehension issues. The only time I mentioned Flacco was saying I didn't think he was going to get this kind of money, I'm quite shocked and the Ravens probably just hurt their team.Where is Tony Sullivan? Flacco didn't take 30 percent less like Brady in 2005 and his 3 rings. Surprise, surprise. ha. just kidding...
And Brady didn't take 30% less in '05, you already said you brought that number up because of King, and then I proved to you King was talking about his current contract (again reading comprehension).
Also this is some serious trolling if you're calling me out in different threads.

1. Jim Kelly never threw over 4000 yards. John Elway only threw over 4000 yards once and it was only by 30 yards. If Marino had won at least 1 ring maybe there would be more people who would say he was better than Montana.1. Plenty of guys - plenty - had 4000 yard seasons in Montana's era. This isn't Slingin' Sammy Baugh's days we're talking about. His contemporaries were Marino, Elway, Kelly... guys who put up multiple 4000-yard seasons. And you missed the point anyway. What were people saying about multi-MVP-winner Manning prior to 2006? "Great regular season QB, not the guy you want in the playoffs though." And at the time it was warranted.
Your entire argument for Brady being the inferior QB in those years is based on statistics. I'm simply pointing out that the man generally regarded as the GOAT (Montana) has some fairly pedestrian numbers, when you get right down to it.
2. Favre is in the top 10 QBs of all time. Any higher than that is a stretch. He holds records because of longevity more than anything else. Credit him for that, but Favre is not even in the discussion if you peel it back to the top 5 ever.
3. This discussion won't go very far if you refuse to acknowledge facts.
2. Favre is in a rare category of being a 3 time MVP and he did that before 2000. He also did win a superbowl. Longevity is definitely a quality that adds to your legacy, although he does have those negative records like most int's because of it. Trying to rank the top 5 or top 10 is impossible to do fairly because people hold importance on different things. I'm sure there are many people that would say they think Favre is the GOAT.
3. This discussion won't go very far if you can't comprehend what you're replying to. Someone else claimed that Brady took a 30% cut in 2005 when it's already been proven that 30% number was clearly about his current contract.

1. Brady and Manning played in the same era. Montana began playing about 20 years before them, I think it's well known that the passing-game has had beneficial rule changes over the years.Joe Montana - the man who most people consider to be the greatest quarterback of all time - never threw for 4000 yards once. He also only threw more than 30 TDs in a season one time.
Brett Favre is the career leader in virtually every passing statistic of note. Does that make him the best ever?
Brady could have gotten anything he wanted after the 2004 season... I'm sorry, but if you believe otherwise, you're simply incorrect.
2. Are you saying Favre isn't one of the greatest of all time?
3. You're incorrect, at that point in a persons career no one is happily giving up $20-$30 million. I've already established the 30% number was used by King to describe Brady's current contract, not his 2005 one which was what all the fuss was about.

He just got arrested two weeks ago for trying to carry a gun on an airplane for one...So what are his character flaws? Dude likes dinner... who doesn't?
I think this kid would be a great sign... only worry is he gets happy and eats himself out of shape.

Ed Reed played at Miami so hopefully he likes the idea of playing indoors in the winter for a change
Cruz supposedly spotted at Eagle Creek Airport per JMV
in Colts Football
Posted
-Cruz does have the size to play the outside. He is bigger than both Reggie Wayne and Marvin Harrison.
-Cruz has had a more impressive first 3 seasons in the league than either Reggie or Marvin did their first three years.
