Really? Tebow is the next John Elway for the Broncos? Seems a bit early.

Nope. Nepotism is when you hire or promote a family member-- over someone else who is more qualified-- on the basis of a family relationship. There is a difference. Favoritism is what is key .

Herschel Walker is looking to make a comeback apparently. link to article -> My link Should we bite? lol

And your proof that this is pure nepotism exists where? There are tons of family businesses out there (including football teams) where family members choose to play a leadership role. Just because someone from the family gets promoted is not proof of nepotism.

Does it matter? As long as they can stop giving up 200 yards rushing every game, it is a welcome improvement.

lol.

Caldwell never won a superbowl as HC... Was it coaching that made up for the injuries this year or was it Manning carrying the team? I think most people will say it was Manning.

I can't help but think that the Colts are not that well coached. Is Caldwell actually holding the Colts back? He was outsmarted by Payton in last year's Superbowl and has made some questionable calls during this season including a strange timeout late in the Jets playoff game. Talent and your superstar QB can only take a team so far... Comments?

Spiller hasn't shown he deserved being 9th overall in draft at this point. But does Bulaga's play merit that 9th spot? Or is it appropriate for a late first round selection?

some suggested edits to the original post.

True. But the earlier point was that the supporting cast on offense and defense is also important. A QB can't win the game by himself.

If Vick was not on a stacked team like Philly which has quite a few offensive weapons, would he have done as well?

Actually , it goes way beyond that right? Jeff Fisher himself is up next in the owner's evaluations since he will be looking at the coaching of the team. No guarantee that he will be on the team next season. So to say that Jeff Fisher is the reason they got rid of VY might be a bit misleading.

Ah yet another cliche about someone who just wins... From the AP article about VY being done posted in CNNSI: "Young is 30-17 in his five NFL seasons, but only 13-14 against teams finishing a season at .500 or better. He's also battled questions over his work ethic, leadership and injuries. He suffered a season-ending thumb injury on his right hand Nov. 21, tossed his shoulder pads into the stands and told off coach Jeff Fisher in front of the locker room before storming out."

+1. Although Vick's comeback is certainly quite a story. People are not giving enough credit to Andy Reid and to a very stacked offense in Philly. What would happen if Vick was on another team that was not quite as talented or decently coached? And yes , Vick's QB numbers in Atlanta were not very good. He looked more like a running back then.

Haven't we heard this cliche used many times before to describe the latest QB flavor of the month? Probably used to describe Clausen and Tebow last year?

Where is The Wang from Sang when you need him? I remember he used to create "Lets see what Brian Brohm can do" threads all the time

Can you explain to us again why it is good to lose?

I didn't know that teams play to lose in the NFL? So I guess Carolina and Cinci must also be dumber than a box of rocks for winning this late and endangering their No 1 pick position? What makes you think Brian Brohm will ever start in the NFL? Rex Grossman at least has had a history of successful NFL starts with the Bears.

Our receiving corps looks fine as it is. I don't see receiver as a key need for next season.

Hmmm. Why did Newton leave Florida? What about his arrest for stealing someone's laptop that he threw out the window when the police showed ip? Was that also BS?

Since we are contemplating such a trade why not go all out? Let's go for Brady Quinn! After all, a lot of experts on the board said he would be a top qb.

+1 We have way to many whiners on this board.

Fixed

You are comparing apples oranges. Clarett played all of one year of college ball? How many seasons did Vick have under his belt in college and the NFL level?
