With Ravens eliminated, Giants will ask permission to interview Steve Spagnuolo for defensive coordinator job.
Eh, I'm not as hung up on Del Rio as I am Gase/Fox. Would have been happier about this if Rex was still on the market.You can have him, Oakland.
The realization first struck Rex Ryan just past 10 oclock Saturday morning.
He wanted to be the next Falcons head coach for a million reasons, but rumors and a cold silence from the people that hed hit it off with just days earlier made it impossible for him to separate fact from fiction.
He thought he had the Atlanta job seven years ago before losing out.
F--- it, he thought now. He wasnt going to be played for a fool again.

Bills officially announced Rex Ryan is their new head coach.
Geno is a grade a bum#Bills source: "Ryan views EJ as step up at QB because he's not a turnover machine like Sanchez, Geno, Vick. Whaley sold that, Rex agreed."
setting the bar low, rex lol
sell EJ Manuel to me "well, he isn't sanchez, geno or vick" sold!
So Mariota is starting to fall down some draft boards now as draft experts are questioning whether he isn't more of a system QB and not as great of a pro prospect. This is bad for most teams but of course is actually a huge positive for the Eagles. I'm starting to feel like we are a bad championship game plus a Teddy Bridgewater-esque pro day away from realistically being able to trade up for him.

For what it's worth, Pope said, "If this is the only team that responds to me, I'm a Carolina panthers fan."
He doesn't get out of the top 5. System or one read QB or not.One read system QB are not successful in the NFL so him falling isn't a surprise

Its the end of the Peypey era, you can see that he's not in it anymore.
Also fuck Del Rio, but I rather have him over Sparano as HC.
Everybody knows he is Kap 2.0. He's been in a 1 read spread system since high school.
As sad as it is to say. Jameis is the best QB in the draft.
How do yo feel about the Ryan hire, LJ? I know you like Ryan as a defensive coach - what are the thoughts on Roman?Falcons probably had someone else in mind, not sure they necessarily blew it. Honestly though, that D needs a big overhaul and that's what he's good at, so if he doesn't turn around the D quick he'll get blasted. "Rex has a QB now and still can't win." His camp knows that too. Who knows what really went down. Mehta is a puppet.
He doesn't get out of the top 5. System or one read QB or not.
About as clean as they come off the field, college production is there and way too many QB needy teams to put any stock in his falling far. He has a big game in the national championship and its even more set, IMO.
According to ESPN's Stats & Information, Manning was just 2-of-12 passing for 49 yards on pass attempts that traveled at least 15 yards and just 6-of-21 for 107 yards on passes that traveled more than 5 yards.

Kinda how I feel. I'm not high on Del Rio at all, but I'd definitely take him over Sparano
Sure. Just stating my opinion. I think the teams at the top of this draft are more apt to grab Mariota. I can't fathom the Bucs going into next season with the shitfest they have at quarterback. Same for Whisenhunt and the Titans unless they really think they have something in either Mettenburger or Locker (doubtful).Teddy Bridgewater was a consensus top 5 pick this time last year. He was drafted 32. A lot can happen between now and April 30.
Don't crush my dreams, man.

Didn't stop Bortles or Manziel from being drafted relatively high.
I haven't watch a lot of Mariota, but I've seen him go through some reads in the games I have watched. The offense he runs isn't his fault and it masks his strengths as well as his weaknesses. Similar to everyone shitting on Carr last year because of the offense he ran at FS, but he adjusted to a pro-style just fine. Mariota is smart and has a good head on his shoulders, I think he can make the jump. He has grown as a passer this year, where Winston is lazy and regressed, didn't put the work in and can't even get on the same page as his receivers in college against weak competition. That doesn't bode well for what he will do in the NFL imo.
Carr had experience in a pro style offense (1 year under Pat Hill) and his transition to a pro style offense has been okay, not pleasant. The guy is pretty much dead last in every passing statistics. I'm not a numbers guy but I think Carr can be groomed into a franchise QB but his reluctancy to go down the field is asinine; a lot of it has to do with none of his WRs are able to get seperation but fuck it chuck it deep just to keep the defense honest. Hard to have a running game when the defense knows you're gonna go underneath or check down every time.
Holy shit, 6-21 on passes more than 5 yards? I knew it was bad, but it was even worse than I thought
Already posted yesterday, bruh.http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/f...cons-led-rex-ryan-bills-job-article-1.2074037
lolololololol fucking Failcons
He's never gonna have those big open windows to throw in the NFL short of blown coverages. He's got to trust his decision making and anticipate throws rather then waiting for a man to come open and get lots of separation. This ain't college anymore. Mariota or Winston are gonna have to do the same thing in Tampa. Mike Evans and Vincent Jacksons IMO aren't the best route runners and don't create a lot of separation except in jump ball scenarios because of their size.

Broncos QB Peyton Manning played Sundays Divisional Playoff loss and the past month of the season with a torn right quad, per two sources.

No real surprise he was carrying an injury. Wouldn't have faded that fast otherwise.

I still have a feeling that they'll be going after an offensive minded HC especially if Carr really was hand picked by Mark Davis. They'll need one to groom him into something better than 4 YPA. I really want Pep Hamilton but don't think it'll be likely.

Who formed this consensus though? Clearly it wasn't NFL teams.
Still think he was a top 15 pick at worst but this past draft was loaded. This class is kind of shit to be honest. Love the running backs, couple of DL, but nothing that really blows you away.

Peyton Manning initially tore his right quad Dec. 14 in win over Chargers, per sources. MRI back in Denver confirmed tear.
He was always a first rounder he just fell because of his inaccuracy at his pro day.
HERE COME THE PEYTON EXCUSES
This is Favre 2.0. Guy is doing everything possible to tarnish his legacy.
Pro days don't really matter dude. If you're going to drop a guy from top 5 to bottom of first because of a 1 hour or so workout you have issues. Don't buy that narrative. If he came in 25lbs overweight and just mailed it in, then you put more weight into it, but really pro days are close to worthless.

That YPA is really a bullshit stat. On average his throws traveled through the air farther than 15 other starting QBs. His WRs were by far the worst the league, and it's really not even close.
That's not to say he was perfect or didn't make any mistakes, but he was a rookie and looked like a rookie, but he really had no help at all. And he threw it up quite a lot actually, but none of his guys could come down with it. I think if Streater would have been playing he would have had a much better year. And of course Olson and the run game didn't do him any favors.
And as far as Carr's preference for coach, he really loves Sparano, and that's the biggest reason Sparano is still in consideration.
