I remember when Gailey took over and Edwards was the starter and played horribly. They not only benched Trent, they cut him because Chan didn't want to ever have to put him in a game again. Lol!

Strong performances in back-to-back championship games vs the Alabama defense, highlighted by the last second TD pass this year make a very impressive resume.

Supply and demand for the most important position on a team drives up the price.

"You want me to just sit around for a few hours talking football with other guys and you'll pay me what?"

ESPN's Highly Questionable with Dan Le Batard, his Dad and Bomani Jones. Hands down!

A mid-round pick? If that's all they could get, it's a dumb move. The Bills would likely use it to draft someone too early (TJ Graham) or waste it on someone with off-the-field issues (S.Henderson)

For what it's worth, heard Bill Polian earlier on ESPNs Mike &Mike and he doesn't think any of the QBs in this year's draft are close to being ready to play in the NFL

Yeah, the Niners were just in SB 47 and the NFC championship the year after that and their fans have already started jumping off the bandwagon after 2 down years.

Yeah, that 2011 draft was amazing how those teams panicked and drafted those guys so high, especially Ponder at 12. The Bengals and Niners waited and picked Dalton & Kap in the 2nd round, both of which have had better careers than those three. And the Bills have a guy taken in the 6th round of that draft.

Sounds like there will be regression in RG3's play.

Perhaps their approach was that they were being aggressive by still attacking and not being conservative and playing for the FG. Yes, it backfired but there's likely a better reason than vanity.

Yep, we had Shanahan's missing backpack and the drone flying over the Falcons practice.

Wait, what happened to the Taurus?

As far as UFAs, other than Jeffery, there's Kenny Britt, Kenny Stills, Pierre Garçon, DeSean Jackson, Michael Floyd, the ageless Anquan Boldin, the aging Vincent Jackson, Terrell Pryor, Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn Jr, Jeremy Kerley, Brian Quick, Terrance Williams and Cordarelle Patterson. This list isn't as bad as I thought with a few of them likely upgrades over Bob Woods and some others arguably similar.

And the free agent WR list is fairly weak other than Alshon Jefferey.

I just don't understand why Belechick is so much better than other head coaches. What's his secret? He had has books written about him. For one, Patriot Reign, written by a Michael Holley, the writer was given access to Belechick, his assistants and players for 2 years. He probably was limited as to what he could write but the blurb I read about the book says it provides insights into how Belichick and his coaching cabinet prepare for opponents, evaluate talent, run the draft, and design their offensive and defensive schemes. You'd think other coaches would read this book to find out how he does it and copy him but there's nobody close to his level. You would think his assistants that got head coaching positions elsewhere could copy his system and be successful but their track record has not been good. You'd expect players that played for him and went to other teams could share some insights with new coaches and teammates towards success but there hasn't been much evidence of that. I know many will respond to this that it's all because Brady is his QB. Well, Brady was injured in the first half of the first game of the 2008 season and, although they didn't make the playoffs, Belechick led that team to a 10-6 record with freakin' Matt Cassell at QB. Cassell, as we know, has gone on to play for a few other teams with limited success. Belechick and the Pats have frequently brought in players that were "cancers" on other teams (Corey Dillon, Randy Moss) and helped them have All-Pro seasons. He's gotten rid of talented players that perhaps didn't fit his team and continues to win. This year he lost one of the All-Time great tight ends to injury but just won the damn Super Bowl. As with many here on TBD, I hate Belechick and Brady but, as our Bills have just hired their 8th coach since the last time they made the playoffs in 1999, I wish Belechick was our coach.

Peyton was eating too many free Papa John's pizzas while Brady is taking care of his body and being careful with what he eats.

Just say No to Romo! He's played in only 5 games in the last 2 seasons and will turn 37 in April. At least when the Bills acquired Bledsoe he was only 30. For comparison sakes, however, Peyton Manning was 36 when he signed with Denver after missing the whole 2011 season.

I would've liked to have heard that post-game conversation between Brady and Goodell. Brady was pretty animated and then Goodell was shaking his head when he responded. Could it have been something like... Brady: Roger, thanks for the suspension that drove us to another title Goodell: There's no need to put it on me...

I like his retirement announcement. You mean he wasn't already retired? Of course this isn't as bad as Ray Allen who kept talking about coming back for 3 years before finally retiring.

Yep, Tyreek Hill was a 5th round pick.

I haven't followed since the 70's, but don't they use nicknames anymore like The Shiek, Bobo Brazil, Andre the Giant?

Rob Johnson was a backup for Jacksonville for whom the Bills traded a 1st round pick for.

Rob Johnson. Sorry, somebody had to do it.

What? The Chargers had a youngster, Tyrell Williams, have a great season. They also had Travis Benjamin and Darnell Inman. Plus they have Keenan Allen and Stevie Johnson coming back from injuries. I don't think they need to pay for a free agent wide receiver. If Woods really wants to come back to California, the Niners have the biggest need for wide receivers. Of course, it's unknown who their QB will be.
