He's been more healthy then Brown over the last 4 years however, and is younger...

If Cards win, then yes, but if they lose then we will be picking at 16th.

I don't believe in curses, but history would not be on Hester's side, so... I hope to god he isn't on the cover (it'd be cool though)

I'll take it. Better pick in the 7th and the Vikings officially getting eliminated from the players would be well worth the Broncos win... now, go Cards!

would we benefit from a Denver win?

sucks that the Falcons won. If they lost they'd be in good position for McFadden and then they could use their 2 second round picks and another pick to trade up to our spot and get one of the big 3 QB's... but now if they even want a shot at McFadden they'd have to trade up.

Who are your picks for the superbowl? Call me crazy, but I see the Jags comming out on top of the AFC and the Cowboys winning the NFC. So I am going with the Jags over the Cowboys in the Superbowl.

I could see the team just being tired of Brown and his injuries. I think the biggest thing is that all throughout camp he is the starter and captain, and then once the season starts he goes down and then the whole chemistry of the D gets messed up. The only way I can imagine Brown being brought back is for an incentive laden deal and where he will have to earn the job. McGowan however has shown he can step in and start.

EDIT: I'm a retard. I was thinking teams moved down for some reason... So I am rooting for the Cards to win now.

EDIT: I'm a retard...

even if it is not, it could a need for some other team and they could offer us a nice package to jump up to our pick.

Odds are he won't be there, but if Otah and Clady have good combines they both could possibly jump ahead of him. The biggest worry about Long is he doesn't have much upside (but he has the highest floor of any lineman in the draft) and might be more of a RT.

I have been one of the hardest on Turner, but then again, we have horrible assistant offensive coaches as well as not a whole lot of weapons on offense...

the only positive of keeping Turner would be that there wouldn't be a new system to learn... however, we should bring in some young offensive mind who is too young to be an OC but can be an assistant, sort of like Josh McDaniels who was an assistant for the Pats back when he was just 24 years old.

I hope Arizona losses so we pick 16. Since we would be the best of the 7-9 teams and be picking at 7-9, we would then move up about what, 7 spots in the 2nd round?

I agree about keeping Brown, but it will be tough to do with Bazuin waiting in the wings. I think we will keep him and maybe even re-work his contract, unless a team offers a good draft pick for him. If we do keep him, I think Idonije will make a full transition to DT and only play DE on Goal-line... can't ever have too many quality D-Linemen. Also, McGowan has been surprisingly good at SS and I wouldn't mind him being brought back as the starter. I think we will just let Brown go.

Orton will have such a great game that he will win the MVP award and then take Tony Romo's spot on the pro-bowl roster... Da Bears 103, Saints 102... Saints make it a close game thanks to Ditka, but da Bears still prevail.

We tried the Air Coryell offense back with Terry Shea... anyone wanna tell me how that worked out?

what a pity...

too bad the Giants choked big time in the 4th...

Martz got fired because there are authority problems and Martz wants full control over the offense...

So, Tait can't play RT anymore but he can LT? Yeah, ooooooookay... Tait is a natural RT and would make a much better RT then LT at this stage in his career. Our best bet for tackle is via draft, IMO. If you honestly expect to see Berrian signed to anything in the range of Crayton, then Berrian is gone... Why does everyone think Berrian is some sort of expandable part? Our offense is bad enough, think about how bad it will be when we take away our best offensive weapon in Berrian. Franchising him will be the smartest option, IMO. While it might be overpaying for the year, we would have another year to judge him and see if he is worth the big bucks. If we draft Phillips, Brown will definitely not be brought back. Either Phillips would play FS and we'd have Manning and McGowan play SS or we will have Manning play FS and Phillips play SS. Manning was a high second round pick, and he has improved each year, and I am sure that Lovie and Angelo will give him another year at FS and it will be his to lose. I wouldn't sign Turner for two different reasons, Benson still isn't a bust, at least to me, and he will have another year to prove his worth. Also, Turner will get a lot of money. However, we need more competition, and I could see Chris Brown signed. We almost signed this past offseason and we might make a stronger push this upcomming offseason. The only downside to this is, can he stay healthy? JA is a lot better GM then most people give him credit for.

so, we trade our whole entire draft and plus some to the dolphins to select a QB who would not start right away, isn't even the most NFL ready QB, and isn't even worth the top pick?

good move...

Bears 88, peace is his sig pretty much, so what if he doesn't put it in his designated spot. If you a problem with his signiture, then why do you have a sig?
