Ben would gladly play with a broken thumb but would throw 10 INTs in be process.
Just like good ol Brent.
Playing with injuries in football is bigger than the team or the win. It makes sense because the guys that don't play hurt are usually out of a job soon enough.
I'm not gonna schill too hard for Cam's MVP award, because really the team is 13-0 and regular season awards without a Super Bowl would be totally meaningless at this point. Undefeated is great but the truth is this is a down year in the NFL, with very few even above average teams, and only 2 or 3 teams who've been good all season. If we go 16-0 and Cam wins the MVP because we beat up on 3 divisions between which there is only one winning team (us), then lose in the playoffs, none of that stuff matters.
With that said, I think Cam contributes more to the success of our team, and especially our offense, than any of those guys contribute to the success of theirs. 35 touchdowns, 28 passing and 7 rushing, with only 12 total turnovers. Highest touchdown % in the league, which means he's throwing the ball less to produce those results. Best deep ball thrower in the league, best in the redzone and best in the 4th quarter. When he played Russell Wilson head to head, this happened,
and that was before all their injuries on offense. He's leading the #1 scoring offense in the league with a worse starting group of receivers than any of those teams. The Cardinals actually cut Ginn Jr. during the offseason, and he's our #1 receiver. We also have a WR the Seahawks cut on our 53. Cam contributes more to the success of the running game than any of those guys. He's run for 42 first downs, which is tied for 6th among running backs! That also contributes to the success of our defense because it keeps drives alive so they can keep resting. I love Carson Palmer but he simply can't do all the things the Panthers ask Cam to do. Unless there's some bylaw where an MVP QB must complete >63% of their passes, then it has to be Cam.

Depends on the new regime but I'd say it's close to a coin flip. James Walker (Dolphins blogger on ESPN) wrote this which I agree with:
That seems to be much moreso an argument that your Defense was better than our Defense during that game.
Haha, CAR getting the same treatment that SEA has been getting these past few years!!
"Is Wilson really that good or is the SEA defense making him better than he is?"
"Is Cam really that good or is the CAR defense making him better than he is?"

Only the greats can make a difference when they are not on the field.
I haven't seen ability like that since Vick used to play.
I fucking wish my qb could play defense like Cam.

They'd have to beat the revolution for that to have a chance and we know that won't happen. Eagles are undefeated in rematches this year.

Sounds like perfection to me.
I'd love for Jerry to take a gamble on Miller. DMC and Miller backfield sounds pretty nice. We can lose turbin since we still have Dunbar. Draft the best player available in the first round. Need some help in the secondary and some fresh blood at WR would be nice too which can be adressed via draft.

Can't say shit about the movie but I'm listening to the soundtrack right now. Its goooooood.
What surgery?

Gallbladder removed due to gallstones.
Can't say shit about the movie but I'm listening to the soundtrack right now. Its goooooood.
Is the soundtrack better than all of the previous ones?
Doesn't that kinda ruin the movie for you? I feel like hearing the music for the first time in the scenes they are in has more of an impact. If you already heard them it sorta lessens that impact to me.Can't say shit about the movie but I'm listening to the soundtrack right now. Its goooooood.

Nope. I'm the opposite. I like listening to scores prior to seeing the movie and then hearing where it all fits in the film. It also helps to improve my opinion of certain scores to be frank. I disliked the score to Batman Begins when I heard it stand alone but have come to really enjoy it immensely over the years. Especially after seeing the movie.
It has almost no affect on the music's "impact" in the film for me. I'd say it actually has MORE impact listening to it in its proper context after already having heard it stand alone.
To be frank as a stand alone listen - no. I'd place it after Empire, Phantom Menace, Jedi and Revenge of the Sith. However, I need to hear it in the film for its to really find its proper place for me.
I should say that the prequels are garbage but the music for Phantom Menace is incredible. One of my favorite Star Wars soundtracks.
I feel it's the opposite for me. I want to hear the music first then when I hear it in the movie I get giddy. The only exception being was Interstellar where I heard and felt the organs in the dramatic scenes.
It went well?

Did they scope it out or do it the hard way?
hmm
Yeah I just can't see things that way then. I couldn't do it that way.

Here is the list of potential free agents at the end of the year. Cousins and Bradford will both also be FA's. http://nfltraderumors.co/2016-nfl-free-agents-list/
Tyrod isn't on there. The list isn't comprehensive as it doens't include potential voided years (like Taylor's), His third year was voided when he played 50% of the teams snaps.
I still say yes. Although, lord knows what dipshit Revolution will give Bradford, so that's up in the air.

How is Palmer being criminally overlooked? He's in the consensus top 2 for the award among the talking heads. Brady's the one actually getting shafted. He's having one of the greatest QB seasons ever while his team falls apart around him and he went from the front runner to number 3 just because of losing two games.
But I would vote it like this:
If you have to give it to the best QB, Palmer
Most Valuable QB, Wilson
Most Valuable Player, Watt or Gronk
I do that for some action packed anime as well, lol

Incredible to think that Tyrod is heading towards a massive payday when so many pundits never even considered his chances of winning the starting job over Cassel and Manuel. That includes many in this thread as well. Screw you guys!
I think guys like Vick and Tyrod are still helping VT out with recruiting to this day. The number one junior college dual-threat QB just committed to VT a few days ago, the first major win for Fuente and co. I'm sure the success of Paxton Lynch is helping somewhat as well, to be fair.

Tyrod can throw the ball down the field. In today's NFL there aren't many dudes who can do that accurately.
Rambo why do you spell bad
I was definitely one of them. He was just stupid raw in Baltimore and it seemed like he never got any better from one pre-season to the next. Blown me away this year and I'm not sure what to attribute it to. David Lee?

If I'm being honest I wasn't sure he'd ever make it as a pro QB either. I blindly pulled for him for obvious reasons but his development led to a ceiling I didn't know existed. Clearly Flacco is responsible.

I would fucken hope so, he's a great back and his game keeps improving, not his fault the stupid ass coaching staff fails to use his talents. Another problem is going to be if Miller would even want to come back, he wants the ball and might want to go to a team that will actually give it to him, it'll depend a lot on the new coaching staff but I'm sure Dallas will have a chance to make an offer, he would do great with that Oline and Romo.
Pls don't speak to me this way
Can Romeo even be counted on for a full season anymore, I feel like his overall value as a QB (aka including the ability to actually stay on the field) is in a really sharp decline
I honestly thought he had a better than even chance at starting when they signed him. Beating out EJ would be simple enough, but you never know with Cassel in the picture, he stinks but coachs love the vets. As the months progressed he just kept gaining momentum, hope he balls out the next couple of weeks. Haters everywhere (even now), guy is good enough to start for a bunch of teams, especially in this retread shit show of a league.
Edit: He still has to improve in a bunch of areas, but I'm rooting for the guy hard, especially since some of the fanbase blame him for everything.

Bradford will get at least Dalton money, probably closer to Tannehill money. I have no idea what Cousins will get... I feel like he has 0 pedigree outside of the Washington management. Fletcher Cox could also get extended. He'll probably get something like 6yr, $105mm, $60mm guaranteed.

Yes Romo will win his Owl next season
Probably not which really sucks because he's so good and fun to watch

Yeah I worry very much what Fletcher is going to get. He is such a great player. Eagles have to find a way to lock him up.
