  1. To me the Hall of Fame is of the elite players and not the very good. I look at it this way. To get in the hall of fame, you should be comparable to your fellow entries. For example, if you gave me Marion, Elway, Montana, Brady, and so on to start a franchise, I would be good with that and I think they are all in the elite stratosphere level. I am not into the whole GOAT thing as I think it is ridiculous. Now if you said to me your 1st receiver you have to take is Wayne to start a franchise, I am like no way. That's how I look at it. There are numerous Wr's I would take before Wayne to start a franchise. It is not I am against Wayne, as there are other players who probably dont belong in the hall. I value Moss, Rice, Johnson, Harrison as the elite of the elite. Even though Wayne was very good, I really never looked at him as being in the elite while he played.
  2. I would easily tag him over signing him to a big contract. If they tag him, it is because they want AR to have some veteran targets next year coming back from injury and not because of his talent level. If the Colts do tag him, that should tell you all you need to know how much they value him. You pay elite players elite money and you run into big trouble when you pay good players elite money. I have no idea what he wants but I would never get into what people are saying he is worth like 23 million. I just think tagging him is the way smarter choice. You have him for one year and should take some pressure off of AR coming back. Downs should improve and I still have hope for Pierce in this offence with AR coming back. I am kind of high on Granson, Woods and I really like Mallory. I loved Mallory's tape and I really dont see much difference in skill set when comparing the TE's to Pittman. Plus, I think some of the TE's can start to develop and play the role that he plays in this offence. To me, Pittman is actually more of smaller tight end and/or possession receiver.
  3. one more thing. KC's secondary looks lights out but if they lose Jones, I expect that to have an effect on their coverage. He is a monster out there and he can change a game much like Mahonnes can change a game on offence.
  4. Actually the Legion of Boom would still be okay in todays game as they mostly played zone and as a result they played little man so there would not be a lot of clutching and grabbing. The reason why the Legion of Boom would be less effective today is become the game is so complex and you cannot run one type of defense all game and expect the qb and coordinator to catch on to it
  5. I would be shocked if Bowers is sitting there at 15. If he is out of the top 10, you can bet someone would move up and draft him before the Colts because Ballard likes to accumulate picks
  6. KC's defense is good because it doesn't stick to one scheme. He mixes it up and his players are adept at playing man and zone. The corners that Ballard continually drafts are more zone corners which in turn limits what plays they can call on defense. Its rather simple actually. KC's corners are very good to being elite
  7. They never controlled the game. Even when they were up 10-0, I had a feeling that KC would win. They lost because of many factors but key was being horrible on 3rd down. Spagnola put them in 3rd and long situations and they couldnt convert because he would pressure them as their Oline is great at run blocking but average at best at pass blocking
  8. This road to the Superbowl was paved by their D and not the O, which is a good thing. You have a very good D and a blue chip qb who makes everyone better around him.
  9. Yup. A number 1 is not needed and neither is an elite rb. Need to be built through the trenches and a blue chip Qb. Although I have been hard on Ballard and have been criticized for it, I have supported his belief in the you have to be solid up front. The only problem is that his building the Dline has been a failure. I will also never get on board with this scheme. The other fact is that KC is a very solid team. This is probably their best team they have put forth in terms of having a really good D and a good O. I remember watching the game and when San Fran missed on that 3 and 4th, I said to my wife the game is over. Sure, they would kick the field goal but I knew that the Chiefs would come back and tie it going to OT. I also knew that San Fran could not get any pressure as their Dline was spent. Mahonnes became comfortable and sliced the D and you could see that in their last 3-4 possessions. Wilks tried to blitz and paid for it as that is not what this teams does with any type of success because of their personnel being suited for zone.
  10. Johnson was a specimen like Julio Jones. If you looked back when he played, he was a force with a much lesser qb and talent around him. H I dont think Wayne gets in because he was always the number 2 to a great Harrison. The age old argument is always would Wayne have been a dynamic one. He put up some good stats with Luck, I just dont think of him up there with the true greats. I have always thought he is a very good receiver, but Harrison is the standard if you going to compare them to each other.
  11. We had that with Peyton and how did that work? The Chiefs team that won the Superbowl were by far their most balanced team by far.
  12. I am interested on feedback on what people have garnered from watching the top two teams in the Superbowl as it relates to team building. I am thinking about the need for a true #1 receiver? Continue to build in the trenches? San Fran's defense is very similar to what the Colts run and what did people see from that D as the game wore on? It was evident at the game got to the 4th, the D line was gassed and this is supposedly a great D line. That has been one of my biggest issues with this D. I have always contended that as the game wears on, this defense becomes very predictable as the Dline wears down and the Qb becomes very comfortable carving up the zones. Wilks tried some blitzes and paid dearly for it.
  13. U can get a legit player maker anywhere in the draft it is just at #15, your chances increase ten fold. I have never been a fan of Ballard's trading down. It has not really worked out as I think he has passed on some legit play makers.
  14. Bowers will never be there at 15. He is graded as generational and with the impact TE's are having on the game, I would expect at least a top 10 pick. Even though people love Marvin, it could be argued that Bowers could be more impactful because of his skill set to a young qb. The great Bill Walsh always felt that a wr is the last position that you draft and some would argue that the game has changed. It is funny because if you look at the last 4 teams in the play offs, they were mostly there because they were solid up front and not because of elite wr play. I have been beating the drum for a wr at 15 but like others have pointed out, we need play makers at just about every position. To me, I really dont care who they pick at 15. My concern based on previous drafts is that the player chosen will not become an elite play maker. Sure, the RAS will be out of this world, but Ballard tends to pick on upside rather than what that player has actually done in college. I just want a football player at 15 with 3 years of great tape!! I will worry about how high he can jump and how fast he can run later on.
