If he's sincere about liking 6 quarterbacks, then this would make a lot of sense (assuming the other teams are intent on Maye and McCarthy).

Roethlisberger was 11, Flacco 18.

? This seems more in agreement with my post than any kind of refutation. If you believe in the team game emphasis, then taking a QB high is less of a priority. And neither Marino or Elway was drafted between 2 and 9 so not sure of their relevance. Todd Blackledge was the QB from that 1983 draft...

For all the people insisting that you need to draft a QB at #3 to become a Super Bowl contender, do you know how many times in the last 37 years a QB drafted between 2 and 9 in the draft has won a Super Bowl? I believe the answer is once. Trent Dilfer, who was drafted 5th but didn't win with...

As others have pointed out, exactly one Super Bowl Winner in the past 25 years drafted their starting QB with a top five pick. And if Reche Caldwell doesn't drop an easy third-down pass, that guy might never have won one with the Colts. Note: some people mistakenly include Eli in with his...

He said he thought there were 5 guys who could be solid quarterbacks. Then, when pressed for names, he said he didn't want to name them but there were 5-6 guys who had qualities you wanted in a quarterback.

Oh, I don't know - I still remember the Golden Age of Mike Taliaferro pretty well.

I remember how it actually happened. I remember that two games into the 2001 season the Patriots were 5-13 under Belichick and, going back to the end of the Pete Carroll days, 7-19 in their last 26 games. I remember that they were at the bottom of everyone's Power Rankings (or whatever they...

Josh McDaniels was the OC in 2007.

Watching him in training camp and these two games it struck me that he looked like a converted basketball player - the height and build (those are skinny arms for a tight end) obviously, but also the hands, coordination and overall athleticism. This article confirms that suspicion and tells more...

I believe it was reported as an "illness" which could mean anything from the flu to a heart problem. Let's hope it's closer to the former.

Seven pages on Jay Cutler without a link to Smokin' Jay? Smokin' Jay Cutler

Bedard says he will sign to the 53.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The New England Patriots made a series of roster moves today to reach the NFL roster limit of 75 players. The team released veterans, DL Tim Bulman, WR Jabar Gaffney WR Donte’ Stallworth, DB Ross Ventrone and DL Gerard Warren . Defensive back Will Allen, S Josh...

Re: Vollmer, Fells, Dennard, Larsen, Demps all practicing today Wilson also is back. I'll be curious to see if he takes Chung's place with the 1's.

Basically, the OP is saying all he knows (or apparantly cares) about the rookies is where they were drafted and that's what determines how likely they are to contribute. I remember him dismissing Aaron Hernandez' chance to be a major contributor based on the same reasoning. Some of us, however...

1) Dennard - best value. A pick in the seventh who has a legitimate chance to start soon. Before the bowl game this year, when his value started to dive, he put up two years of exceptional play against very good competition that convinced everyone he was a top 25 player. 2) Hightower - safest...

Re: Peter King:Three bold decisions by Robert Kraft transformed the Patriots Why is that story dated February 6, 2012?

It was definitely a catch. Esiason showed the replay during the halftime show and agreed the Patriots would have won the challenge. The problem was that the network didn't show the best angle until late in the play clock and that is what the guys upstairs have to go on. BB does tend to be...

Well, in 2004/05 the Patriots scored 41 against the Steelers, then played the Eagles who had scored 27 in both their playoff games and we know how that came out. So perhaps this doesn't apply to the Patriots (straight up at least)?
