[Mike Chappell Twitter - Colts Terminate Contracts Of Brackett, Clark, Bullitt And Addai (Merge)]

We can't get something for Freeney? Anything?

quality pass rushers are rare in this league. If Grigson, flat out releases him, it will be the first really dumb move by him. He's still worth as much as Richard Seymour when he was traded. Even more if hes willing to restructure his contract

[Rams Trade 2nd Overall Pick to 'Skins [Merge]]

Wow...kudos to St. Louis for pulling this off. They will make the kind of turnaround that Detroit has within the next couple of years.

I didnt even think of that, with how much the skins are going to suck, there is a good chance they will be first overall picks, top 5 at worst.

[Rams Trade 2nd Overall Pick to 'Skins [Merge]]

Part of me wants RGIII to be a huge bust.

Its going to be an uphill battle for RG3, the skins offense is a joke and now they wont be able to draft anyone to help him out. Unless shanahan has another lucky draft like in 06, this team wont allow rg3 to succeed.

[What Makes Luck "elwayish"]

Stanford, ability to read Ds and a lot of intangibles, that is about it at this point.

Arm strength - Elway was way ahead.

To me, Luck is more Peytonish than Elwayish in arm strength and ability to read Ds but with mobility like Rodgers.

Luck is more athletic than Rodgers. I would compare his athleticism to Jim Kelly, who was originally recruited by Penn State to play linebacker

[If We Had A Decent Backup, In 2011]

You mean the five Super Bowl appearances by the 199th rounder? The 11th pick that went to three? The 32nd pick that brought a city their first?

I mean I guess I'm being harsh on top 10 picks. It must've felt good for the Browns when Tim Couch brought home the trophy. Same for the Raiders and Jamarcus Russel, Leaf and the Chiefs, Sanchez and the Jets, Akili Smith and the Bengals, Vick and the Falcons, Harrington and the Lions, Palmer and the Bengals, Smith and the Niners.

There are 250+ picks every year. Not counting UDFAs and top ten picks, You have 240+ chances that one of them will be succesful vs 10 in the top 10. If you look at it as a percentage, top 10 picks are a lot more likely to succeed.

and Leaf played for the chargers

[Does The New England Rivalry Mean The Same]

Its a no longer rivalry, but I still hate the pats. I have hated the steelers since Harbaugh, so why can't I hate the pats now that Manning is gone.

[If We Had A Decent Backup, In 2011]

We didn't need the "best ever" to be successful in coming years after Peyton. Later picks statistically perform better in the NFL. Peyton and Eli are the only two first rounders to win a Super Bowl in recent years. Stafford, Rodgers, Brady, Brees were not all "the greatest prospect ever." I'll give Luck my full support, but accepting mediocrity because of our owners ego isn't what seems best for the team.

Is this serious post? You do realize there is a much bigger pool to choose from when talking about later picks. If you look at it as a percentage, the early first rounders are a lot more succesful

[Americas Game 2006 Colts]

Wow I have seen that a few too many times. I can recite most of it word for word

[Dockett Wants Manning In Arizona]

Yeah there's a lot of teams who want him.

Btw, can players tamper? Because Peyton isn't "officially" cut yet right?

nah, they do it all the time at the pro bowl. Probabily the only positive attribute of the pro bowl

[All-Right Andrew, Its Your Team Now]

WHATTTTTTT?!?!?

the nfc is now the more dominant confrence

[All-Right Andrew, Its Your Team Now]

Manning didn't win a playoff game for 6 years.

The AFC has weakened over the decade. Luck should have an easier time gettting a playoff win early in his career
