Cousins is pretty much the only QB who is "available" after this season that I could feasibly see with Baltimore going with over Flacco.

I could see them getting Cassel

 

[MechDX]

Fuck you man, fuck you.



No 2nd round pick to give bro.



Mech...just post that Browns gif you have saved up. I'm giving you permission.

What, don't you want The Sanchize? He was a fifth overall pick! Has two AFC championship games under his belt.

All we are asking for is Ray Rice. I'll even throw in Revis.

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

I could see them getting Cassel

Shit, is he a FA too? I could absolutely see them kicking the tires on Cassel with a short term deal while we find someone better. I don't really see much of a drop off with Cassel instead of Flacco.

Cassel is half the QB that Flacco is. He's absolutely terrible. He lost his job to Brady Quinn for Pete's sake! You'd be better served taking Matt Hasselbeck.

If we wanted a terrible QB whose been to two AFC Championship games and failed, we could just stick with Flacco.

While true, it is a drop from the bottom of the shit pile directly into the toilet.

 

[Goro Majima]

It'd be hard to believe that the Ravens would actually let Flacco go.

I'm more prone to believe that they'll sign him for a huge amount of money rather than risking a new QB. It'll certainly hamper the Ravens for years to come but that's fine with me!

 

[BaltimoreLarry]

While true, it is a drop from the bottom of the shit pile directly into the toilet.

I'm really depressed about our QB situation, because we're about to be back where we were before Flacco. For a year or two, I thought Flacco might become something, but he's the same QB. If he was a rookie, I'd be optimistic, but that's not the case. It's about to be the dark ages in Baltimore; the way we've played the last few weeks, we may be a 4 win team next season, even if we had Flacco.

I want Norv Turner at OC, and I don't think that's crazy.

I actually think your defense got terrible at the correct time. It allows the front office to justify a total rebuild, which means you have some cover for dumping Flacco.

Crazies don't usually realize they're crazy.

 

[cuevas. PhD.]

Sexy Rexy is a FA too. He went to a Super Bowl!

 

[Buckethead]

Packers WR Greg Jennings on if the tag is a slap in the face:
“Yes. ...Nothing good about it. You don’t see Wes Welker smiling about it.”

What a bitch. Practice what you preach, Jeggings.

 

[bionic77]

well said bionic, though I think there is room to believe in both Brady's greatness as well as Tebow's

That makes about as much sense as your love for Joe Flacco.

 

[DeaconKnowledge]

Our Defense is terrible, but people in Baltimore can only see one fault at a time, and they're coming around on Flacco. Next year, they'll realize the defense is shit too. We have three studs, who are all hurt; Ngata, Webb, and Suggs. That's it. Build around Webb, he's the future.

I hope Rex Ryan gets fired, because I'd take him back at DC too.

Best Harbs
Norv Turner
Rex Ryan

That's a coaching staff I can get behind.

Yo man, why are you trying to take our coaching staff.

 

[Buckethead]

At least I can cheer against Jennings next year when he plays for the Lions.

(Before his Week 6 injury, of course).

[xnipx]

Flacco is still my guy. He's not worth a top 5 QB contract. But he's my guy. Everybody makes mistakes. His throw was just as bad as bens on the exact same route.

He's just mad James Jones has as many 3 TD games as him.

Hey, guess what guys? Manning is still Manning.

Peyton Manning keeps saying his arm isn't back to 100 percent. Our eyes say this might be true. The numbers say that it doesn't matter.

The Wall Street Journal points out a raft of statistics that show teams are attacking Manning differently without great results. Defenses are blitzing Manning 26 percent more often than they did in 2010 before his neck surgeries.

Manning has responded with a quarterback rating against the blitz that is 12 percent higher than it was in 2010.

Conventional wisdom says Manning is dinking-and-dunking opponents to death. The numbers again say something different. His average completion is actually going further in the air (6.91 yards) than it did in 2010 (6.29 yards.) His average pass attempt actually is slightly shorter this year, but he's been more successful by far when he does go deep.

Manning is averaging 14.7 yards per attempt on throws that go over 20 yards in the air, which is up drastically from 9.8 YPA in 2010. He's completing a far higher percentage when he tries deep passes: 44.9 percent to 26 percent.

Add it all up, and we gain a clearer picture of 2012 MVP candidate Manning. Defenses are attacking him more because they think he's a different quarterback than two years ago. And he's making those defenses pay more often with big plays.

I was actually surprised by these statistics.

More blitzing. I want to see a team treat Manning like Brady. Rarely blitz. Rush three, and hang as many people as possible back.

 

[squicken]

That makes about as much sense as your love for Joe Flacco.

I have jumped off the Flacco and Rivers bandwagons. I feel like with Flacco and Alex Smith, we saw their limits this year. With Rivers, I think he is limited by the talent around him, but he's also declined physically to doubt he'll ever regain his past performance

The only leverage a player had against a tag is bitching about it. He was asked a question and answered it. What's the problem?

 

[Striker]

If Flacco hits FA, where do people see him going... Kansas City? Arizona? Philly? Buffalo?

 

[Buckethead]

He's made that abundantly clear in the past.
At this point he's just advertising to play elsewhere.

It's no better than Finley begging for the ball.

But super Christian grubbing money is the greatest of all ironies.

 

[Nakazato]

They wont.... Lets enjoy our 80 mil "elite" QB.... Fucking flacco...

if they are smart they franchise tag him. can't let him walk w/o compensation, but don't give him long term deal

 

[Nakazato]

Yea i could see him go to philly hes from the area and his family lives there. Maybe Jacksonville.

@squicken hes going to get the exclusive tag he wont get franchised. I think flacco will only get 60 mil on the open markets so id be fine with giving him that.

 

[Tamanon]

Overpaying for an "elite" QB? Flacco to Jets!

 

[Nakazato]

Im sry Tamanon the jags will over pay him

@BL i think either norv, hue jackson, or zorn. Id be happy with. I think jacksons off could change flacco

 

[mr2xxx]

Talking about potential trades for cousins, how about Byrd and a 4th for Cousins? Byrd would be a free agent anyways and the Bills wouldn't pay him, so just let the Skins have him.

 

[FrenchMovieTheme]

I dropped it after a day; didn't like to see it, I went to far in my temporary fandom. And now back to not caring about them.

As for the Niners, what can I say? You blew it, and got it back. I won't be happy until the Niners are out of the playoffs.

I told you what would happen. Sucks that you squickened yourself to further failure!

 

[Tamanon]

Jags aren't willing to pay normal price for MoJo, they're stingy with the pursestrings.

 

[squicken]

Why would you trade him? He's cheap and RG3 has already been knocked out of 2 games and missed a third. You need a viable backup

 

[Buckethead]

Oh ya. I forgot you hate people of faith. Never mind.

Nope, just hypocrites.

Tebow and Mastay and Cobb are awesome!

 

[WanderingWind]

How about we pay for the proven talent to stick around and not trade for a QB with 2 games under his belt?

Byrd > Cousins

 

[Nakazato]

Mojo will be traded to falcons next year just watch.

 

[jakncoke]

lol on the radio they were saying if cleveland hires mcdaniels he'll bring mallet along.like cleveland needs more failure qbs

 

[mr2xxx]

I love Byrd and he fits the biggest need we have. If Buffalo has given up on Fitzy then I have no problem giving up a backup with a game and a half under his belt for him. Granted its jumping the gun a bit but if he does this on a consistent basis then the price would be much higher. It's not like teams have been adverse to overpaying for marginal QB talent.

 

[Greg]

Well, of course you'd be okay with your team getting an excellent player for the cost of an unproven backup. It'd be utterly idiotic from the Bills stand point, but hey! It's Buffalo. Anything's possible!

Yours wasn't much better before RGIII fell into your lap, brah.

 

[Kastrioti]

Here's a 3-way trade where everyone wins:

Jets

• Keep Sanchez on the bench and only eat 8 mil instead of 17)

Jags

• Trade for Tebow for a 4th round pick

Redskins

• Trade Cousins to the Jets for the Jets 2nd round pick and the Jags 4th round pick

Kirk Cousins is Kevin Kolb 2.0. Of course a team as dumb as the Jets would waste 2-3 years experimenting with Captain Kirk as there QB.

 

[Grover Cleveland]

Rob Parker apologizes for comments towards RGIII, kinda

I blew it and I’m sincerely sorry. I completely understand how the issue of race in sports is a sensitive one and needs to be handled with great care. This past Thursday I failed to do that.

“I believe the intended topic is a worthy one. Robert’s thoughts about being an African-American quarterback and the impact of his phenomenal success have been discussed in other media outlets, as well as among sports fans, particularly those in the African-American community. The failure was in how I chose to discuss it on First Take, and in doing so, turned a productive conversation into a negative one

I'd wonder why this ignorant racist still has a job, but then I realize that he's on First Take. Not only is talking out of your ass allowed, but it's encouraged.
