Exactly. You can't have too many good backs. Karlos may be too injury prone to stay in the league and mccoy is approaching 30. This is a need

Meh. Career backup ceiling of the ilk of cassell, henne, colt McCoy, Hoyer, etc. Played pretty well? They were a 10-2 team number 1 seed with Dalton a middller starter. They lost 3/5 with mccarron beating only the niners and Ravens.

If you have two quarterbacks you have none.

29 as a corner and you play hard ball after getting a tag? This guy does not have a sense of reality. He may squeeze out one more elite year if he stays healthy and is lucky.

Didn't Chip leave?

Yes. This year reminds me of 2007 at the QB position. Recall in 2007 JP was coming off his one good year. In 06 JP had a plus TD ratio a respectable 85 rating started every game and had the team picked to go 3-13 at 7-7 in the hunt down the stretch. Even though JP was seen as upward trending starter material the brass suspected he was missing that je ne sais quoi and we ended up up Bill Walsh's guy Trent. Trent did not work out of course, but for some tiime made us all feel better about ourselves.

USC is not Alabama. They should be happy about the additional exposure the NFL is giving their program.

Does anyone have a solid theory, beyond wishful thinking, why we should be better this year. We lost a bunch of good players replaced them with journeymen.

I heard american football had really taken hold in Germany. Still can't believe they can't make money off of NFL Europe which would be good to have again and solve the QB development problem.

What they should do is keep the rules the same with the modification that of you finish as the 7th or 8th seed with 10 plus wins you automatically qualify. The conference would then flex to a 7 or 8 team playoff format. Top seeds would have to play hard down the stretch to keep good teams from 10 wins. No one would complain it's too crowded since the only bad teams qualifying would be weak division champs which already happens.

As another poster noted this poll is bogus. There is no new open air stadium. That's what most of us want.

From a purist standpoint it is an abomination. It does artificially inject some excitement into the game. I wish these sports entities would for once take a long term perspective rather trying to maximize short term profits at every turn. In a few weeks everyone will be watching the greatest golf tournament in the world where corporate tents are banned and TV commercials almost nonexistent.

TT is a question mark not only for his play but whether or not he will be one of those always injured guys. It would seem to make sense for both sides to extend him 1 yr for 10M. That sets him up for life (which he does not have now) and he's still young enough to play himself into a franchise QB payday.

Should go to 17 games one neutral site game each team.

This is totally inconsistent with their decision to move the kickoff to the 40. Teams will be less likely to kick for the touchback and there will more high speed collisions.

If you can't get a kings ransom just switch with cleveland for a #2 and some change.

This guy needs to stay healthy all year or its time to move on.

Jack Kemp probably had the best all around story

For all their success the Broncos outdid the Dumerville fiasco with the way they botched this QB transition. Could they bring in the Amish rifle?

Might have gotten $13-$15M if he beat the bills to go 11-5. Now he might be worth at little as $2M. Leodis has to haunting him in his sleep.

Played with great motivation but could not overcome injury last year. I'm rooting for the guy.

Wonder if his wife will show up to the retirement press conference. Someone could ask why she was on HGH. That's pretty much what came out of the Peyton drug scandal - that the hgh was for his wife not Peyton - until the media conspired to muffle the whole thing.

We had one of the top 2 backs of his era back then. Just didnt know it.

Had a tough year especially with the injury and not much left there, but man, the pick against the Eagles and the one against the jets that saved something from the season may have been the two greatest plays of his lengthy underrated career.

We certainly have a lot of (cough) experience at the back end.
