The thing is the team hasn't gotten worse anywhere from what I can tell. Brady isn't what he used to be but he's still a very good QB and barring injuries his weapons will be improved this season. The defense made some big moves that seem to be improvements for the most part.
On paper they aren't as good as a team like Denver or Seattle but games aren't played on paper. Make it to the playoffs and you've got a shot.

I am biased, but if the defense can be marginally better than last year, I think the Colts have a good chance of getting the the AFC Championship game. Luck's weapons are ridiculous, O-line could not be worse and appears to be better, Luck will (hopefully) take his turnovers down even further, and the defense just needs to not let people run all over them.
I'm not saying pencil them in, but I am saying the Colts have a pretty good chance.
Its for your own good to help you grow as a person! Break you down then build you to be a non shitler type human!
Edit; Another year of aging on lady brady arm, I seen lol throws last year that he no longer can make. Another year of aging should add more entertainment value for the rest of the league. Same thing applies to Peypey really.
Look at all the good it's done for Jak!
Why does age matter? I'm not sure how many QB's in the AFC are on Stafford's level.
Jake Locker
Jimmy Garoppolo
The Pats have a MNF game at Arrowhead. Not looking forward to that one!
There are a few fat quarterbacks in the AFC.
I've heard good things about Warframe but I haven't delved into it. Not sure why War Thunder isn't on that list either.
Yup. Week 4 matchup. =/ Chiefs could be 1-4 at the bye week.
Lets see who is right in another 2 months.

Quarterbacks are weird since it seems like fatigue, concussions, or their entire body giving out is what does them in. I think QBs playing well into their early 40s before giving out will become more the rule than the exception as time goes on.
I'm worried about Rodgers since his game necessitates a bit more mobility than Brady or Manning (both of whom I expect to play into their 40s)

Just pray that they dont panic and give into small hands demands if they start out slow.
All this time, Greg has really been Chip.
You'll just say "wait for the playoffs" then so let's just not worry about it because we're both biased
Im sure he can adapt, his arm is big enough that i think it really matter if he has to spend more time in the pocket. Also him sitting behind brent preserved what 3 years of being hit in game.

Eagles have 21 former PAC10/PAC12 players and 9 Oregon Ducks.
I sense a bias from Kelly

Yeah, the ATL guys have actually been saying Smith should take the money now, if the Chiefs have a down year, and hence Smith having a down year, perhaps his value will go down. So it's something to keep an eye on.
Also, it's cool to have read Take Your Eye Off The Ball and understand this chart!

If really is disgusting to see but what can you do.
the rest of the roster is former Texans players.
bias or not that might not be the right kind of team to assemble for January. Especially in a place like Philly.
I'm talking about the future of the AFC. Manning, Brady and Big Ben are elite but those guys are coming close toward the end of their careers. Andrew Luck would be the only young QB in the AFC I would consider somewhat elite whereas the NFC is stacked with young stud QBs.
True, but the two best AFC QBs, Manning and Brady, probably have on or two more years left in them. Brady is 37 years old while Manning is 38.
The AFC does have JFF so I'll give them that.

It is incredibly stupid to target players that the coach knows over the best available player. It is one of the things that really makes me hesitate about Chip.
Well it presumably can't last for long because pretty soon he won't be any more familiar with any college players than any other coach. But he certainly has had plenty of time to scope out these players and make assessments and I think that's fair of him to do if he saw something in them.

I see it more as Chip getting bargain players that he knows well enough to have confidence in their abilities. I think he's saving a ton of money toward salary cap so he can eventually get some big need based players. Simply taking the best player because they are the best available is expensive. If you think slightly longer term, you can save some money and fill in the truly big gaps with your cap space. I don't think he actually views the team as true contenders for another few years.
This is the shit that pisses me off.

Jerry jones has no reason to change anything if he keeps making money. He's competing with Real Madrid, not the rest of the nfl. Nothing will change unless jerry starts losing money.

Andrew Luck has more talent in one of his beard hairs (which, granted, are fairly impressive) than Matt Stafford has in his entire body.
Yeah, bias towards good players (the Pac-12 non-Oregon players).
David Wilson is going to train to make the Olympic team in the triple jump. Pretty cool that he can continue his athletic career.

favorite TE in the draft. really wanted him.
Pretty much kills your own argument when you include him into the discussion, but then again you're most certainly including Stafford in your argument when he has won nothing in the NFL and is like 1-23 against teams that finished a season so im not sure why i expected a rational discussion with you.
Yeah, I mean they gave up a seventh-round pick for Barner. It's not like they completely overvalued him or traded for him over some other really good RB just because he's from Oregon.
In fact, all of the former Ducks they've acquired (Maehl, Dixon, Barner, etc.) have been picked up very cheaply and are mostly there to help fill out the roster. And the one Duck that was considered the best player available and who everyone here wanted the Eagles to acquire, Jairus Byrd, they passed up on.
So no, Chip is not overvaluing his own guys over other consensus BPAs.
Player often mentioned w/ Jimmy Garoppolo pick. MT @taniaganguli CJ Fiedorowicz w/ TD. Guy can do everything. Zero problems catching ball.
See Pats. You could have had Baby Gronk but noooo you stole our QB
He works for CBS sports now. He's their Mike Pereira
That sucks
