The average passer rating over the past 10 years is in the low 80s. This year's number is absurdly high right now and I would bet it will come down over the second half of the season.

And I'm not arguing that Foles has been good this season, just that he's not alone in struggling as a young QB.

I understood your argument, my fault if I conveyed otherwise. I was just trying to point out that Brady's numbers do not really translate to this era, he was still above average in most statistical categories. That is not to say he did not have struggles as a young QB, most young QBs are going to struggle. I just thought it was unfair to compare the numbers from early 2000's to Foles' numbers now.

It dosent make sense. No matter what bullshit stories espn or NFL make up. JFF won't be traded, I get angrier as I type.

We traded a 1st and 3rd to get the guy they scouted and like as a qb. Only to trade him within less of a year of drafting him?

Wow console are getting cheaper fast.

Only Nintendo consoles have stayed more expensive than their consoles last gen. I feel the U should have launched at 250 and be
200 by now. They would have done much better as that is closer to an impulse buy.

And why don't people wash their hands in the bathroom? I just stopped at a starbucks and went to the bathroom while waiting for my drink.

The door opens and a guy wearing a witten jersey (not judging cowboy fans animals come in all shapes and sizes) comes out. I could hear that he did not flush the toilet and he did not wash his hands because I did not hear the dryer. What a gross motherfucker.

These people should have to go outside with the other animals.

The lowest QB rating for a starting QB on Sunday will be Mike Vick (48.2) or Geno Smith (65.6), depending on who starts. Next lowest is Bortles, at 68.3.

Nick Foles' 80.7 just beats out EJ Manuels 80.3 but puts him behind pretty much everyone else.

David Garrard is their 3rd string QB. He had that one season in 2007 where he posted 100+ QBR over a 12 games.

START HIM REX

JFF doesn't suck, though. He hasn't proven it yet, at least. Big difference.

I remember hearing around $70-$100 was the cost of the Wii U controller.

When discussing decisions affecting millions of units and stating things as fact, it's probably in your best interest to have a range more definable than "give or take $30"

Romo to the jest? :jnc come on Fox you know that's not gonna happen. JFF will be brownie until his contract is up. Romo will be a cowboy until he retires or his back explodes. Then jerrah will bring cam in as the heir apparent.

Sad for the Jets that neither Mark Sanchieze or Timothy Theodore Tebow is going to be walking through those doors.

You guys wished you still had Marky MARK! Two straight AFC CHAMPIONSHIP GAME BRO!

Apparently October was the first month in NFL history to feature two quarterbacks with 14+ touchdowns, in Tom Brady and Peyton Manning. Good job, guys!

The Wii U was already losing money for every console sold at the price it was at launch. They only made profit if people were buying a lot of games with the new console. If they lowered the price like you suggest they would have been losing even more money for every console sold.

I think the launch attach rate for profitability was like 2 games, so nothing too hateful.

CNN report stating that Display cost $24.75 while the controller adds up to $79.25.

Probably significantly cheaper now almost 2 years later. I'm willing to bet they could reduce the cost but I think it'd be dumb to do so. They are still the cheapest console out there and have the best broad market gaming lineup this holiday.

Price drop in March makes a lot more sense.

BTW Cardinals-GAF, my comment wasn't a slight on the Cardinals defense. They have great DBs which is why they play dime as their sub package so often. Having great corners on the outside allows them to be creative with the 9 players in the middle (which is why I was a bit nervous when Peterson went down). Blitzing seems like the foundation of their defense, not random blitz calls, and it works because of the personnel they have. They are faster with their blitz because of their DBs.

I also don't think there is a better team in the league that can triple A gap blitz like they do, when they call it it is a thing of fucking beauty.

I don't take offense, we have virtually zero pass rush so we are forced to use these schemes and Bowles has been a Maestro at disguising what we're doing. I'm happy for the guy because so many people said he was trash and laughed when we signed him before last season. The guy has been fantastic and we haven't missed a beat without Horton. He's great at making adjustments after the half too. If we could get a legit outside rusher, our D will be terrifying to go up against. Problem is the good ones always tend to go at the top of the draft and they don't hit the market save for when they want a ridiculous amount of money. I'm not sure how we'll get ours. I read a rumor yesterday that we are looking to trade for one but there haven't been serious talks yet. I can't even think of a good OLB that's available so I doubt anything comes of it.

Bucannon hasn't even been able to play the position he was drafted for because of the D Wash suspension, he's been playing D Wash's role but I've been pretty happy with the kid. Our secondary will be even better once he's freed up to play SS. I just pray we give D Wash another chance after the inevitable suspension next season for the domestic issue. I all but guarantee the Chickens or Niners will scoop him up and he'll kill us if we cut him...

Still upset about the loss. So many puzzling play class and just terrible play from Foles.

Can we start Sanchez? Can we get Vick back?

I love all the NFC/AFC East talk. Lets keep the Super Bowl Champ out of the spotlight for once. It's really annoying =(

I vote we all talk about how amazing the Lions are though.

Except that doesn't work when the regime who drafted him was no longer there.

Good job, good effort tho.

Your proposal is wack.

Damn, MS dropping the price of the Xbox One to $349.

They're really trying hard to reverse mindshare in comparison to one year ago.

It is only in the U.S. though. Kind of shows me they have given up on selling the console to the rest of the world. Good for US of course.
