  1. Sal Capaccio ?‏Verified account @SalSports 12m12 minutes ago More The reason why no one knows which player is injured is because the player asked teammates/organization not to say anything. They are respecting his wishes. I do not know who it is by the way.
  2. No Eruption or Stairway or Sultans of Swing or Crazy Train? Brian May or SRV? That being said Comfortably Numb and Gilmour are by far my favorite
  3. Yes they did actually trade up and that cost us Rodgers the next season; they also were not able to complete a trade to move in front of Pitts for Ben At the end of the day we moved up for the 4th best QB in the draft...
  4. OK let's just finish this off: SB winning QBs: Super Bowl 34. Kurt Warner (MVP), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 35. Trent Dilfer (Ray Lewis), 1 TDSuper Bowl 36. Tom Brady (MVP), 1 TDSuper Bowl 37. Brad Johnson (Dexter Jackson), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 38. Tom Brady (MVP), 3 TDsSuper Bowl 39. Tom Brady (Deion Branch), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 40. Ben Roethlisberger (Hines Ward), 0 TDsSuper Bowl 41. Peyton Manning (MVP), 1 TDSuper Bowl 42. Eli Manning (MVP), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 43: Ben Roethlisberger (Santonio Holmes), 1 TDSuper Bowl 44: Drew Brees (MVP), 2 TDsSuper Bowl 45: Aaron Rogers (MVP), 3TDsSuper Bowl 46: Eli Manning (MVP), 1 TDSuper Bowl 47: Joe Flacco (MVP), 3TDsSuper Bowl 48: Russell Wilson (Malcolm Smith), 2TDsSuper Bowl 49: Tom Brady (MVP), 4TDsSuper Bowl 50: Peyton Manning (Von Miller), 0TDsSuper Bowl 51: Tom Brady (MVP), 2TDs
  5. Not to be a homer, but you could include Marv in that comment as well, minus Torre's success of course... Steelers problems also stem from the lack of veteran leadership that used to be there...
  6. Why would you trade up for an LB? No way. Only trade up for Pass Rushers, QBs and, ONLY, if you are a piece away from an SB do you go up for a DB or WR....
  7. Seeing he is delicate as an expensive champagne glass that gets broken to pieces when it is looked at wrong, no way... This guy will get injured quicker than Kevin Kolb walking throw a car wash...
  8. At the end of the day, if you swing and miss, you end up a middling team. If you don't take a chance, you are the same middling team we have been for the last 20+ years... This franchise will be even more laughable if they don't get a QB, since it continues to be ignored. Hoping to pull a 2nd stringer off of another team or a FA QB and expecting them to do much for you is foolhardy and has not worked out well frequently enough to subscribe to this approach.
  9. The era's and rules make it difficult to compare then and now. Antonio is damn good right now, but the rules have changed so much to favor the offense. Rice still put up those numbers back then with players like Atwater, Lott (teammate I know, but making a point), LT et al. laying players out; hands down he is to GOAT. Even if his stats get taken over eventually with the same rules in place as are now, hard to say that player would be the GOAT. Moss took too many plays off, Tim Brown could have been even better if he didn't have trash QBs his entire career. I have to give Andre love and YAC is one of the most important WR stats when looking at great WRs. How can they make plays after they get the ball; him and Rice were 2 of the best ever....
  10. The route to a QB goes through Indy. CLE will def take a QB with Doresy and Wolf, NYG could end up with a BIG guy if Gentleman has one rated higher than the QB, but I suspect they will take Eli's successor. My assumption is that once the first 2 QBs go off the board, there will be a big push from the needy teams to move up to draft whomever is left between Darnold, Rosen and Allen (who scares me as a prospect - too many issues with a big arm).... We most likely stand the best chance to trade up since we can offer 2 1#s this year and the Colts could use a few first rounders to help fill our their crappy roster around Luck. Although I do love Vita, QB is more of a need and Star could help offset that loss...
  11. Fact of the matter is this is a 3 year rebuild, with year 1 being complete. I have no problem giving picks up this draft to grab a QB and we can have close to $55 million in cap space to add a few value-based replacements here and there. Next season we are projected to have what $92 million or something close to under the cap and can move a few more players for a few more picks to revitalize the roster more. Getting a QB this year is a no-brainer. Just because this year honestly scrub QBs advanced in the playoffs, does not indicate that is a trend to success... 14 out of the last 16 years are Brady, Ben, and Peyton. Barring an extremely large upset it will be 15 out of 17 after the game this weekend... The other 2 are Gannon and Flacco btw...
  12. If you trust your scouting on the QBs and really believe in him, go and get him. Otherwise, you end up exactly where we have been since JK retired. Trying to build a team without a QB and middling along the way, hoping to get lucky. As of 201y, but still relevant: For the 14th time in 16 years, the starting quarterback for the AFC Super Bowl team will be Ben Roethlisberger, Peyton Manning or Tom Brady.
  13. I thought the game can't end on a defensive penalty? They would get 15 yards plus a free play...
  14. Star and Vea - I would even move up to get Vea (and I really want a QB); but dude is a beast
  15. I'm just over it. Look at what it has done for Phi and the Rams...There is no position of greater importance Our 2 shots were JP and EJ Please no more QBs with 2 initials
  16. And you end up in the same boat we have been; getting elite talent in other positions to try to prop up the QB... You have to go up and get the QB, otherwise you end up with Losman...
  17. No thanks on the retreads. Franchise QBs simply do not become FAs or are very rarely traded. History is littered with more Rob Johnsons & Matt Cassels than Favres and possibly Garappolos
  18. Lots of people still want to build a team and basically ignore QB, that has worked so well in the past... Taking the best QB at your available spot generally = JP Losman 4th best QB talent...
