Agreed... I just happen to to not be sold on any of the top QB prospects, nor the current system they'd be coming into (and if there's a regime change, they'd likely need to get a Kubiak-ish offensive guru... but hope for better results). And regarding your previous post, I was mainly referring to the strong likelihood of the 1-2 Pro Bowl QB's not being one of the early picks in the draft. Since 2000, these are the only first round QB's that made enough of an impact to be a "franchise" guy... and all were more attractive than the current class of QB prospects: Vick (who's career will go down as a mixed bag). Eli Manning Phillip Rivers Ben Rothlesberger Aaron Rodgers Matt Ryan Matt Stafford (Newton, Luck, RGIII, Tannehill still too soon to call).
Exactly, we only have maybe 4-5 formations, and the fact that Kubes dont let a QB audible , and then clears the backfield = Feast for defenses
That sack was too easy for them...our TE..has to chip that guy before going into his route or something
Or how was it ever a problem? I could see it when the Titans were still called the Oilers, and were wearing the same uniforms.
i was hoping randy would miss that goal for better odds. jags will collapse in the 2nd half. texans will win this easily but should they for the draft, lol.
I don't think its that simple when it comes to kicking. Much like golf, its the inconsistent contact he makes with the ball thats a combination of technique and mental weakness. Bottom line is that if he can't hit a 40 harder with pressure, there's no sense in having a kicker that can kick a 60 yarder with no pressure.
I wish. He knows the Texans are not too far off. Too many weapons and needs a quarterback and they are in prime position to get one. I think we need to get rid of wade as well this off season. The defense has been horrendous.

Shoot, anything to liven this game up a little.
After an 8-0 start in my fantasy league.... Rodgers going down... I began starting keenum over rivers... 1 point...I'm screwed.
Agreed. Matt has attempted 258 passes this year and has been sacked 15 times. Case has attempted 138 passes and has been sacked 13 times.
When he said "We'll shuffle some things", he meant that we'd just start sucking in the first half instead of waiting for the second half.
Certainly I agree here. If there's not a great QB up there, they shouldn't draft one. You don't draft a Blaine Gabbert type just because you need a QB and he's the best available - that's a recipe for failure. But by most accounts, this class of QBs is supposed to be excellent. If you're starting over and hiring a new regime, then you have to rely on the new braintrust to pick the guy they think is best. You don't take the 4th best QB later on in the hopes that you turn out wrong in your evaluations and he turns out to actually be the best QB. That's more than 1/3rd of the league getting a franchise QB in the 1st round, with more than half of those being in the top few picks. I don't think that's an "only". What percentage of QBs picked after the 1st round become franchise QBs? Seems like your odds go down dramatically there.
How many 2nd and 3rd rounders can you say the same of? Dalton, Kaepernick, Brees (all high 2nd rounders), Wilson? Any others?
