Some people in the press have no idea what they're talking about. Someone from SI said the Ravens were going to the Super Bowl and as a Ravens fan I have no idea what his thought process was in coming up with that.
:jnc
I could see it. Especially if Romo gets hurt yet again.
I'm mostly talking right now this season, not career wise.
Me too.
Tammy has all day to throw and teams refuse to cover Gronk and Edelman, even Sam Bradford could succeed in that offense.

That no damn defense held the Jets to 17 so far after five turnovers, so that hasn't been a problem this game. Definitely been a O line protection problem though.

We're gonna do it.
You'd think he'd be as cautious as anybody after the Peyton Manning game.
If the supporting cast never gets better he might want to leave before he loses his entire prime years.

You forgot the part where Cassell won 5 less games and didn't score as many points.

Decker out?

Luck has advanced a round in the playoffs each year since he was drafted.
Grigson was the GM the whole time. If he could still advance under Grigson's shit regime, the Super Bowl seems like a logical conclusion.
And that doesn't matter with the franchise tag.
He's good but borderline, depends on the log jam at WR. It took Brown and Carter awhile.
Every one including you would agree that Luck is a much better quarterback than Kaepernick.
The difference is, Rodgers is also mobile. He can throw as well as Manning/Brady but isn't a statue. He's like Montana or Elway rather than Marino.

His defense actually played a decent game all things considered and yeah his O line sucks ass and that goal line fumble was goofy, but he played like ass for the second game in a row. On the bright side, he's too talented to play like this for many more weeks.

Well Cassell wasn't cheating.

Did I just hear a Jets chant?
Knee, return doubtful.
Does he actually have a choice though if he gets franchise tagged? I don't know entirely what being franchise tagged means but I thought it prevented a certain player or two from leaving while giving them max money?
That's not a big drop off when you remember what a scrub Cassell is.
He also made horrendous throws/decisions early. Sometimes it's better to just take a sack then do the stupid shit he has done. No sympathy when you make horrendous decisions. Favre 2.0

5 fewer wins is a lot.

According to this he is an unrestricted free agent in 2017

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Andrew Luck is Matthew Stafford with the benefit of playing in the worst division in the NFL. Its time to stop hyping this guy up as the second coming just because he pads his stats 6 times a year against CFL-quality teams like the Jags, Titans, and Texans.
Do you understand what a franchise tag is?
he'll get in, go look at where he stands amongst the all time leaders and then consider the QB's he's played with.
Rodgers to me is like a combination of Dan Marino and Steve Young. Accuracy of Dan Marino and mobility of Steve Young.

They will use the franchise tag on him.
I don't mean to hate so much on a guy who did so much for the Texans. But damn this Colts thing is just all so delicious. The Jags are leading the division. The... I don't know. This is weird.
What was Johnson's sentiment? "Best chance of winning a Super Bowl here?"
Patriots won 16 games in '07, just 11 in '08 with Cassell.
How long can they tag him?
If they run into the Pats, they're fucked..
And I guess I just don't buy the whole "they advanced another round each year" thing. Last year they ran into the Bungles and gimped Peyton Manning. Even though the AFC is very weak I just really don't see a Super Bowl team unless Luck plays historically well this season, and that's not off to a good start.
If Romo retires and DAL has capspace, Jerry will give him part ownership of the Cowboys lol
I'd like to see him go back to Texas, Hou or Dal would be fine to me. He's got bay-area connections too, not sure if Oak would be a choice of his tho.

They went 16-0 the year before.

They'll tag the fuck out of him and then resign him to a monster contract. Franchise players don't hit free agency in their primes in the NFL.
