Resolved: Cutler sucks. There being no objection, the motion passes.
Next order of business?
The smack talk has reached epic reality levels. Everyone but Omni knows that Cutler sucks (and MY team has Andy Dalton, you should be thanking your lucky stars!) and in spite of everything I might prefer Dalton.
That bolded bit is awesome smack talk.
I don’t believe he’s worth a $100 million contract, but he wins (39-23-1 regular season). Until the playoffs, at least.
Cutler OTOH is only 3 games over .500 for his career (62-59). For comparison, Joe Flacco, in a nearly identical number of starts, is 82-45 (.646), including a 10-5 playoff record.
Now obviously, a players’ record is more than a reflection of him alone, but still, it’s there; the players at the top of this list aren’t there by accident.
Dolphins trading in a poor performing Mike Wallace and going with the newly acquired Kenny Stills as their deep threat. Makes some sense since Wallace wasn’t about to be number 2, but it still doesn’t help their situation berry much…
The Niners officially add a target out of the backfield for Kap to miss.
That’s silly. You can’t throw passes to running backs.
What? It IS legal? And often a highly play? Somebody should tell the 49ers’ OC.
What? He was fired for ignoring this and similarly effective plays for no good reason?
That too. Of course when he did remember to use it Kap over or under threw it.
Vikings release WR Greg Jennings. Baltimore needs another receiver (and a TE, but one thing at a time), and Jennings would make a great addition there. Not sure if they have enough cap room to sign him, but it’s worth a shot.
Or he’ll go to the Dolphins. Ew.
I haven’t been around the boards for a while, but I had to come back from vacation to point out how thrilled I am to see the Eagles completely and utterly shoot themselves in the dick this offseason. Really, no fooling, as a Giants fan I was legitimately worried about what the next decade was going to look like with an innovative HC and one of the smartest and most consistent front offices heading up my most loathed franchise. Phew
I know this has already been covered, but so far they’ve:
– Signed a guy who is probably an average-ish or worse CB for top dollar (Byron Maxwell). At best he’s an enigma who can be considered to have upside, but most likely he’s a competent but replaceable player who was aided immensely by his teammates and scheme.
– Traded their cheap 26-year-old QB with one exceptional year under his belt for an expensive 27-year-old QB who’s never had a season as good as their incumbent’s, and who has probably the worst injury history of any active QB. And they gave up a 2nd Round pick for the privilege. 
– Swapped out LeSean McCoy for DeMarco Murray at RB. I haven’t looked too closely at the contracts, but the money is pretty similar on the Eagles’ end, right? So that cancels out. However, McCoy is: a year younger (and that’s a big year for RBs, 26 vs. 27), a better receiver, historically much healthier, and proven to be a good fit with the scheme. Murray’s coming off a year he’s never going to repeat, in which he suffered through the highest workload of any RB since 2006 (and 2nd-highest since 2001). Overpaying for for a veteran free agent RB is pretty much the most basic mistake a GM can make. [Philly does net Kiko Alonso as a reward for downgrading from McCoy to Murray; that’s not nothing, but who knows what he’ll be after missing all of last year, and signing Murray as they did also has the potential to cost them a compensatory draft pick next year.]
– Invested yet more resources at the most fungible position on the field by signing Ryan Mathews.
Am I missing anything? It’s possible that these moves could make Philly a better team next year, but in the long run I think they’re almost certainly poison unless Bradford winds up being better and healthier than anything in his career to date should lead us to expect. Oh, and while they were probably right not to match the Chiefs’ offer for Jeremy Maclin, their receiving corps sucks pretty hard now. Good times.
Yeah, well, you’ve pretty definitively established that you aren’t.
It’s a common human failing to occasionally be smug and petty; it’s rather more more atypical to be proud of your own smugness and pettiness. Congratulations to living up to the lawyer stereotypes, I guess.
Well, they also cut one of their starting guard and are looking to trade their other one because they’ve eaten up all of their cap room. And resigned the dirty Sanchez.
I’m not sure how Bradford/Sanchez-Cooper deep threat is going to free up their multitude of running backs from 9 men in the box.
Its like Jeff Lurie and Jerry Jones have had a Freaky Friday moment (something which, as a Cowboy fan, I’m happy with).
Michael Johnson, DE, re-signs with Cincinnati after a year in Tampa. Tampa still owes him $7 million, and Cincinnati gets a 3rd round compensatory pick for the privilege of letting Tampa borrow him for a year. Works for me.
Sounds like the Browns are determined to sign Dwayne Bowe. Hey, he had as many TD catches as all other Chiefs WRs combined! Zero. Yes, the Browns desperately need receivers, but Bowe is no better than a #3 WR on most teams.
And now the Eagles are working out Tim freaking Tebow. I’m a big Chip Kelly fanboy from the Oregon days, but I’ll be damned if I can understand whet the hell he’s doing right now.
Although doesn’t Kelly’s system cover-up a bunch of Tebow’s faults?
Tebow was always pretty bad under center and couldn’t make reads and go through his progressions. But the crux of Kellys offense is shotgun offense and HIKE! THROW! BOOM!
It’s just a workout, so not the worst idea in the world.
Tebow leaves Philly with no offer…short workout lol.
Browns sign Trammon Williams to a 3 year deal. Sucks for the Packers to lose him, but the Browns are crazy desperate for corners, so they very well could have overpaid him a bunch
Well, yes and no: there are still reads and progressions; it’s not like you’re throwing to X no matter what the defense does. But the offense is much simpler than most offenses, and many of the reads are simpler, where QB has to only key off a single defender and the play design is expected to account for the rest. On the other hand, the reads are often post-snap, instead of the pre-snap reads that guys like Manning and Brady live on, and puts a premium on fast, reactive decisionmaking. On the other other hand, so did Urban Mayer’s scheme.
I think Kelly’s just kicking the tires.
That. The system depends on fast thinking and a strong, accurate arm. That does not mean Tebow.
I think Kelly’s just trolling ESPN.
