    If they can get Stephen A. Smith off of ESPN next, I'd start watching their programming

    Why?? Who doesn't love a guy who talks as though you're a mile away even though you're right next to him..

     

    He's obnoxiously loud.

    I mean, I'd be mad.  But I'd also play my role.  If I'm him and I've had plenty of time to prove myself as a starter and haven't, that's my fault.  I'm still thankful I'm getting paid 30 whatever million to play a game.

    It's honestly mind boggling, he's sadly one of the better paid QB's.

     

    Only thing I can think of is that he's truly delusional and thinks he's a franchise guy. He's probably got an ego being a former number 1, but he needs to recognize he's not a top tier player, but is still paid like one.

    Well he had a full year off to recover from his achilles and hopefully allowed the rest of his body to recover a bit, too.

     

    It was unquestionable that he got stronger and better as the year went on last year and he got more into the flow of games and got some strength/game speed/conditioning back.  Keep in mind this was with an injured Henry Anderson, no Art Jones, etc....  I'd like to think with a healthy group in front of him, he would have performed at a higher level, too.

     

    I don't think we're going to see him 'fall off a cliff', but think instead we'll see him have a 10-15 sack season.

     

    I hope so as well, but at 35, I'm thinking it's not going to happen honestly.

     

    There's also no other threat to get him freed up anymore. 25 year old Dfree isn't coming to town anytime soon on the other end of the line. 

     

    I'd change my tune if we got a legit threat on the other side in the draft. But I wouldn't expect him to take on double teams like he used to.

     

    Can't argue the fact he's ancient in terms of football years. I wouldn't 'expect' those high sack #'s like most are throwing out. I'd be shocked.

    The #'s are a few years old, but two examples of all time elite guys totally falling off at ages 35 and 36 are Jason Taylor and Strahan. They sucked honestly. Sure you can say White or Smith were solid in their late 30's, but Robert isn't on that level.

     

    Hoping for a 20 sack season, but odds are he'll slow down, how much is the question?

    He had 7 last year while missing a game and only starting in 10 games.  He was being used more and getting stronger/better as the year progressed.

     

    They say Monachino is the coach who revived Terrell Suggs' career. 

    I don't think it'd be unrealistic at all for him to get over 10 sacks this year, if he stays healthy.

    I feel ya with the 35 comment.,but the dude had 7 sacks in the 2nd half of last season alone after he was healthy and in game shape... Don't count him out just yet.

     

    Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying count on more or that he will get more. I'm just saying dont be surprised if he does.

    It's totally a guess on all of our opinions, but he's going into year 14. That's huge mileage for a DE/OLB.

     

    Don't forget the old saying...pass rushers don't slow down with their production, they usually fall off a cliff.

     

    I hope I'm wrong, but I don't expect much honestly.

     

  5. No idea if he'd want to coach, but the guy has position coach written all over him. He's that scary type of dude you'd be afraid to let down because he could literally kick your butt..

     

    Players and coaches both seem to love him wherever he's gone..

  6. This guy has bought into his media hype. No one knew this guy his first few years in the league.

     

    Carolina will be fine. My personal opinion is that he looked better because of the team he was on.

     

    If you're a CB away from being legit and have money to spend, here's your guy, but no way you break the bank on this guy.

    I was with you LD up until your last sentence. It's like a handsome rich guy saying "It's such a burden being the only wealthy single guy in my zip code. Oh well, all these trophies to take home at my leisure." Now, trophies can either mean pretty eye candy or multiple division trophies. Take your pick. 

     

    In all seriousness, Houston has won a couple of AFC South Division crowns themselves. Let's not forget that. 

     

    I do agree though that more evenly matched division foes can only help us in the playoffs LD moving forward. 

    Nice quote you had there, I did like that.

     

    Pretty sad honestly (for Texan fans ) that 2 of those division titles we lost recently our QBs were out.

     

    You have to agree it's been a while since you've hated Jax and Tenn. 

     

    Division games last few years haven't had that same 'panache'. Definitely hated Jax during Leftwich's and early in Garrard's run. Also hated McNair and Vince Young in their runs with TN.

     

     

    I will gladly accept the division crowns either way though, rivalries or not.

  8. I honestly hope everyone does get better.

     

    I feel like being so dominant for so long has been a detriment to us in regard to being exposed and usually beaten when we face tougher teams outside the division. Sometimes beaten badly.

     

    Everyone getting better will force us to keep up. 

     

    I've also hated having no true rivalries for a while now in the South. 

  9. I think a whole lot of old fashioned luck has to do with it.

     

    Almost every athlete is healthy and strong, but if someone falls onto a knee or ankle or whatever body part you'd like to include, bad things usually happen. Health is a crapshoot, guys like Manning and Brady are the exception, rarely missing games.

     

    We've already seen Luck miss time with a lacerated organ...who would've bet he'd ever encounter that type of injury?

     

    Tons of factors, but luck is huge.
