Why not put Rafael Septien in Jeff Reed's place?

Does the Wonderlic test require any type of memorization? Standardized tests are supposed to allow a consistent comparison between people since school curriculum and the level of difficulty / quality of courses can differ widely. That said. They only are part of the overall evaluation of a candidate. So if you have something else going for you then that certainly helps. Many schools unfortunately will not read an app if the scores are too low.

Is 21 a good score for a QB? I thought QBs should score in the high 20s at least.

There is likely talent there. But throwing for 300 yards with the loaded offensive talent on Philly is not really a good indicator or predictor of success elsewhere.

How exactly would you get replacement owners for the NFL? You would need to form another league?

So what exactly is the criminal aspect in Spygate? Is there a law on our books that actually applies? There is a reason why the case never saw the light of day.

Was that WangfromSang? I remember someone with a handle like that who created a number of threads insisting that the Bills need to start Brohm so that we fans could see "what he's got?

Not really. Taxes (and maybe even agent fees) would take a sizeable chunk out of that amount right?

Although Fitz is no Jim Kelly, Kelly also had quite a bit more talent to work with on both offense and defense. So your comparison is a bit flawed. QBs do not win games by themselves. You can ask Steve Young for instance how he felt moving from Tampa to the Niners.

No one wants a Maybin jersey?

But facts don't matter on this board. Ralph is cheap!

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."
