    QB Patrick Mahomes II, KC

    Just a shame to see this kid get shelved for a few weeks (best case).  Mahomes is one of those guys that's just enjoyable to watch and easy to root for.  Hopefully he avoided a major structural injury and can get back out there slinging it soon.

    Aldon Smith

    Great insights in this thread. Thanks for the content fellas. I too have a decent stable of LBrs but with this weeks injury reports I'm leaning toward benching Keenan Robinson in favor of a backup. I like Aldon's upside and was leaning that way but you guys now have me nervous. You like...

    2014 Suicide Pool Strategy Thread

    Taking the Steelers. Agree with the sentiment that Philly seems very safe butId rather save them and even though the upset would shock me here, I thought the Jags looked much improved when I watched them in preseason. The Browns simply aren't allowed to win in Pittsburgh. This is a lock pick...

    The Official Mikel Leshoure Thread

    Can't believe the Giants would bring back Jacobs but not at least inquire about Leshoure. Of course I'm assuming they didn't reach out so there's a possibility they did make the call. At the end of the day I would've thought they could've signed someone more talented than Big Jake. Michael...

    Who is the better quarterback: Eli Manning or Tony Romo?

    I think the results of this poll are pretty accurate. I also think the original writeup is spot on. Romo is statistically speaking the better QB, but Eli seems to have a stranglehold on all the intangibles. When I started writing my response I was going to add that Romo's biggest downfall...

    Is Sanchez already done?

    Wouldn't the Tebow signing, and the looking into Peyton Manning be evidence enough that they're not 100% sold on Sanchez? I'm not stating that front office has publicly trashed Sanchez. I think they all recognize they'll have some egg on their face if he doesn't work out but they're not about...

    Who's Better, Flacco or Romo?

    That's not what's being debated. I think Flacco could still develop into an elite QB too but at this point in their careers it's hard to say Flacco has been better (which is what the original question is asking)

    Post season: Who ya Buying?/Who ya Selling?

    I've got a motivated Mendenhall owner in my league who isn't RB rich. Hopefully I can move him there. However if I ship S Jax and or/Bradshaw I may keep Redman out of necessity. Basically, I'm selling RB, just don't know which one will be bought first!

    Post season: Who ya Buying?/Who ya Selling?

    The hype on Bennett is likely tied into situation more than anything else. Bennett wasn't going to supplant Witten in Dallas but has been hyped as an athletic tight end who can be a factor in the passing game and is a better blocker than most believe. He isn't as good of a blocker as Witten...

    Is Sanchez already done?

    I don't think we're comparing apples to apples here. Tiki Barber was really the only one, besides the media, who was bashing Eli's ability to lead. His defenders have always stated that Eli's aw shucks and seemingly relaxed leadership style worked for Eli. There were times people wished Eli...

    Post season: Who ya Buying?/Who ya Selling?

    Buying (or attempting to ...) QB: J. Cutler, S. Bradford, P. Rivers, Flacco RB: Either Buffalo RB, R. Matthews, K. Hunter WR: D. Thomas, J. Baldwin, L. Hankerson, TE: E. Dickson, M. Bennett, H. Miller Selling (or attempting to ...) QB: T. Tebow RB: MJD, Bradshaw, S Jackson, I Redman WR...

    7 strong hunches for 2012 season

    I know this is taking it back several posts but anyone knocking the job that Chan Gailey's been doing in Buffalo hasn't been paying close attention. Gailey's been a strong coach for that squad and he's been doing it under the radar. The Bills will continue to improve this year and might even...

    Dynasty DL7

    I didn't vote other but I do think that Adrian Clayborn should get added as an option soon.

    Who's Better, Flacco or Romo?

    The reason Joe Flacco started pretty much immediately and Romo sat and watched is because Flacco was a first round QB who was drafted to be the franchise QB. Whereas Romo was undrafted, worked his ### off, and supplanted the franchise QB when opportunity arose. In my opinion, this is a...

    Who's Better, Flacco or Romo?

    That was the sound of the gauntlet being thrown! :popcorn:

    Hakeem Nicks injured

    Maybe I'm getting ahead of myself here but IF the Giants were already talking contract extension with Nicks or even planning on chatting this season, I could see where they might hold off given Nicks's constant bumps and bruises. Not saying they won't re-sign him, but I could see the urgency on...

    Can anyone recommend a good football-related book?

    Run to Daylight by Vince Lombardi. Easy read with lots of great player stories that are told so anecdotally you feel like you were in the room when these events unfolded. It's hard not to enjoy this book. I was very young when I read Paper Lion. I didn't like it as much as it's reputation...

    Who's Better, Flacco or Romo?

    There's a lot of backtracking going on in an attempt to save face here. The original post asked who's better? It didn't ask who will be better, who will have the better career, which QB most NFL GM's would prefer moving forward or which winds up as a better fantasy option. It simply asked...

    Greg Childs: Lammey vs. Waldman

    Just throwing another professional opinion into the ring here ... Frank Coyle of Draft Insiders has Child's rated as the 22nd WR in this class and the 3rd best Arkansas wideout that was drafted. It's worth mentioning that Childs and Wright each have the same evaluation grade (Adams is 7 points...

    How much can Ray Lewis possibly have left?

    Whoa there ... no need to be trashing our friend the pig. It's OK to like Ray Lewis and bacon. :boxing:
