He'll be a better pro than Bridgewater or Johnny Football.

That INT had "future Cowboys QB" written all over it.
I doubt it. JFF might flame out in a blaze of alcohol and strippers, but McCarron is Greg McElroy 2.0.
Knowing the Browns, they'll draft Manziel first then draft McCarron in the third or fourth.

Goddamn. Wonder what level of frostbite Coughlins face was at in the 08 NFC Championship game. This game will be colder than that one
That was a face?

I wonder how BG feels about this.
That dude is from ESPN 101, a radio station in STL, not from ESPN in Bristol. He knows nothing. Just reading tea leaves
Let Browns-Age have some hope for a little bit!

Wildcard berths that can't beat teams without a winning record should have homefield advantage
Ah, the local sports radio guy and his patented, "Let's take the most recent major coach on TV and tie him to our job opening to get callers" scheme.

Touchdown Lacy Jr.
Not sure if this has been posted yet. Further details on Cutler contract. Not as awful as I once thought. Still overpaid though. Guess that's the going rate of average to above average QBs these days.
"The first leaked details of the Jay Cutler contract put the average value for the first three years at $18 million, with $54 million guaranteed.
The details were accurate. Per a source with knowledge of the deal, Cutler will make $54 million over the next three years, with a rolling guarantee that starts at $17.5 million upon signing, increases to $38 million on March 14, 2014, moves to $48 million in March 2015, and caps out at $54 million in March 2016.
The deal contains no signing bonus, creating a pay-as-you-go series of cap charges for the Bears, based only on his base salaries.
In 2014, Cutler will earn a base salary of $22.5 million. In 2015, the base salary is $15.5 million. In 2016, it increases to $16 million.
After 2016, the deal becomes a year-to-year, no-cap-hit proposition, with salaries of $12.5 million in 2017, $13.5 million in 2018, $17.5 million in 2019, and $19.2 million in 2020. In each of those four seasons, Cutler earns $156,250 for each game he appears on the active roster, for a maximum additional earnings of $2.5 million per year and $10 million over four.
Thus, hell get the full $126.7 million only if hes on the active roster for every game from 2017 through 2020.
The contract also has an annual de-escalator of $500,000 based on participating in the offseason workout program. If he fails to show up, the base salary reduces accordingly.
Its a real three-year, $54 million contract, with a team-held option at lower rates for each of the next four years.
Under three years of the franchise tag, Cutler would have earned more than $60 million. He therefore reduced by more than 10 percent his total haul in exchange for shedding the injury risk.
Cutler also has shifted most of the risk of poor performance, with the Bears most likely to pay him $48 million over two years.
Is it the best possible deal Cutler could have done? No. But its a very good deal under the circumstances, it keeps him in Chicago for the next three years at $18 million annually, and it gives the Bears the annual right thereafter to decide whether to keep him or to walk away."

Idk about the stoops thing, but it isn't the first time it's been mentioned this week. And he did say he was open to jumping to the NFL this week. Jimmy loves his college football .
Also I got Tbell because of you bastards, this thread is a bad influence on every aspect of my life.

Im sure he played on a little league team named the Astros but it is a pretty cool coincidence.
Good point, I didn't play little league so I forgot about that possibility.
Besides, everyone in Florida is a lifelong

Totally forgot Alabama has Derrick Henry. Might be the best back Saban will have.

fuck you.
Texas pride, bitch.
seriously though, where do you live? I don't find this to be true at all. A lot of the "i got here as fast as i could people" are saying it jokingly.
stone cold is a fucking bandwagoner. Dude is from Victoria Texas.We got Hogan AND Stone Cold. Top two of all time in the WWF!
Any Lions fans explain to me why you want Wisenhunt? You wanted Lovie, which I guess is ok, but not exactly aiming high. What did Wisenhunt do without Warner? Matt Stafford is no Kurt Warner.

The more I see that Cutler deal the less I like it. Especially after I sat down and saw Cutler's career numbers. He has this rep as a strong armed gunslinger but he hasn't really put up huge numbers, especially considering how many TOs he has. His career high in TD passes is I believe 27, and that year he had 26 INTs. He's never had a 2:1 TD/INT ratio. Seems like a lot a high risk/not very high reward type of QB. I was ready to put him in that lower tier of QB with guys like Rivers, Romo and Fatt Matt, but he's probably a good step below. Those guys are more likely to put up monster numbers (Romo, Fatty) or are at least far mure durable (Rivers).
lol if you actually like Eagles fans.
