The Broncos have Eric Decker, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, Zane Beadles, Shaun Phillips, and Knowshon Moreno, among many others, as UFAs this offseason and I imagine they'd like to bring back DRC, Phillips, and maybe Decker. In addition, oft-concussed Wes Welker has an $8 million cap hit this season. I wonder if he could be a potential surprise cut.

Maybe much like the afc/nfc swings. There is also swings in this. Would have to wait 20-30 years to see if there was evidence of another swing back to older qbs winning.

I would love for Denver to cut Wes and the Eagles grab him. I read the other day that Avant had the lowest catch rate of any slot WR and he is slow as fuck. Please replace him Howie.

I don't think they will bring Decker back. They plan to let him test free agency and they view him as a #2 but some other team might view him as a number one option and give him big money. That is fine with me, our dollars need to be spent on the secondary and the d-line.
Their teams haven't wasted all their money on the QB yet..
According to Fox, Super Bowl XLVIII drew the largest audience on average for any televised program in U.S. history, with 111.5 million people tuning to see the Seahawks defeat the Broncos 43-8 at MetLife Stadium on Sunday night.
According to Fox, the average audience for Super Bowl XLVIII bests the previous record of 111.3 million for Super Bowl XLVI between the Patriots and Giants on NBC.
The game drew a 44.5 rating at kickoff, which is a record, Fox said, with the rating reaching as high as 47.9 between 7:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Eastern, according to the network.

I'm shocked by half time I considered switching the channel..but it's the last football in 7 months...might as well enjoy it. Hell I watched Thursday Night games all season I could handle two extra quarters.

I don't want Wes to be cheered by you. You don't deserve him.
Yeah I don't know if it is meaningful or not. Or the contracts of the involved parties. I think though that the era of a experienced veteran game manager are gone, when that is what the Redskins used to win two SBs. If a team is going ot have a middling QB they are going to want him cheap
But coaches and GMs get fired so quickly, now. Is a coach in year 3, when he needs to win, going to want the sure thing QB at $15m/yr, or an unknown 2nd round rookie QB he has to develop and might cost him his job?

LOL at you saying anyone doesnt deserve something.

Once they get peoples asses to watch it's not like people were going to change the channel and make their SB party goers watch reruns of Friends or something. I don't think the blowout has much of an effect. This SB had a ton of hype going in with Peyton and Sherman.

NFL-GAF Prison part 1.
NFL-GAF Prison part 2.
Our first group of inmates clad in their orange medium-security jumpsuits. Let's take a closer look:
Doomsayer has already served over 7 years and managed to get his Trafficking sentence reduced enough that he's considered to have served the time out. He's got a while before he's eligible for parole. He sure has taken advantage of his conjugal visits though, holy shit man!
DMczaf was busted for drug dealing, using a local Taco Bell chain as his front. He managed to get those first two charges marked down as time served due to good behavior, but many suspect it was due to bribing.
Kave_Man is still hoping for extradition back out to Canada, but that would be highly unlikely given his high-profile case. Something about burning down Cleveland Stadium in a fit of rage.
Tom Penny is currently serving time for kidnapping Mark Sanchez during a drunken binge. He had confused him for his ex-wife. He also has two sets of twins, yikes.
The Frankman is a classic case of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He has a 15 year sentence for possession, as he was caught after a Knicks game smoking it up. He managed to get the first sentence marked as time served as part of a plea agreement, and is eligible for parole in about 2 years.
Doom is the first guy in, and he heads off to the canteen for breakfast. DM would soon follow.
Frankman heads to the canteen next as the guards bring in Penny and Kave.
Unfortunately for the last 3, with only 10 minutes left in the meal hour they'll end up missing their morning meal. Frankman was stuck behind the jail door cell because the 2 guards at the time were too busy bringing the last 2 guys in that by the time they got around to opening the gate 30 minutes had passed. So only Doom and DM managed to get breakfast.
The canteen closes up and the group heads back to the holding cell. They'll have to stay in here until enough individual cells are completed in the main cell block. Doom quickly runs to the toilet while DM takes a seat on one of the benches.
As soon as Doom finishes he wanders off thinking of his family. Tom quickly heads to the toilet afterwards to unload one.
Tom starts whining about the meal he missed as DM takes care of his own business. Looks like he's cranky due to lack of sleep.
Frankman goes next and complains how filthy all these motherfuckers left the toilet.
And that's how things stand as of now. As you can see, I don't have much money left so it'll be a while until these guys get their own cells.
I have a couple options we can proceed with:
A) Cheat and get some money to build.
B) Don't cheat and try and slowly earn money.
1) Build a few beds in the holding cell, whichever inmate gets to the beds first will get to rest.
2) Save up for proper accomodations in the cell block. Noone in the holding cell gets to sleep until then.
Gaffers - pick one of each options above and vote on how to proceed, i.e. A1, or B2.
I'll likely close daily prisoner intake until we can get this first batch stable. Leaving it open will most undoubtedly result in riot and death pretty soon and a premature end to NFL-GAF Prison.

Heh, so far Doomsayer's been one quick mofo. DM's been pretty fast as well.
Sorry for the late reply since I was busy... Tim Brown was productive for a couple more years than Marvin Harrison, but Marvin Harrison's best years are much better than Tim Brown's best years. The season Harrison got 143 receptions (20 more than anyone in history), you can't pin all that success on Peyton being the QB. Harrison is also one of the few WRs who managed to make Deion Sanders look silly. Harrison gets some points docked off for being manhandled by Ty Law in the playoffs. In the tuck rule game, did Ty Law cover Tim Brown? Based on the reception record alone, I would have to put Harrison above Brown in my WR rankings.

I can see that, I wasn't trying to say all of Harrison's success is due to Peyton. I thought Harrison is an amazing WR too, I was just curious since they are going head to head next year in HOF voting.
The sad part is Peyton Manning was one of the players that turned me from a casual football fan to a pure NFL addict. I think it was ten years ago, sophomore year of college, watching MNF with my roommates who I'm still friends with today. TB was up by like 3 TDs vs. Manning's Colts with less than five minutes left. We turned off the TV and just went to our rooms to play the WoW beta or something. A few minutes later I decided to check espn.com (which was actually a better website back then), and saw the score was tied. Of course I run out of my room like a dork and announce to the suite what's happened. We all jump back in front of the common room TV and watching Manning win the game in OT. That's the sort of shit that gets you hooked on a sport.

About the young qb vs older qb winning in the super bowl thing: I imagine a lot of the older QBs are good enough to cover the team's weakness until they get to the playoffs, when they get exposed. This also probably accounts for the older QBs getting huge contracts, which makes the rest of the team weaker.
Not saying you don't want an "elite" QB obviously, but it seems like you get a lot of situations where a good QB can hide weaknesses on a team in the regular season, only to get exposed in the postseason. I imagine you get a lot of teams thinking "well we have this really good QB, we can hold off on fixing this part of our offense" but it hasn't worked out.

If lack of funds continue for a while, inadequate guard staff and no metal detectors will make things very very interesting.
From the National Football Post, Matt Schaub to the Raiders?
"Just some scuttlebutt, but if (when?) the Houston Texans release Matt Schaub, the Raiders could be among the teams interested in the quarterback. Schematically, it isnt a great fit, and Schaub is more a systems guy, but its said he has some fans in the organization and would be a stabilizing factor."
