Surprised by the Wes Welker move to Denver.. Guess the falling out was bigger than I thought. Wes was the best receiver that NE had,, I dont think Amendola is going match up.
Another move that is the buzz, is Percy Harvin and Seattle .. WOW,, Looks like Seahawks are gonna be "tryin" to make a run this upcomin season.
I hope the 49ers sign Charles Woodson! They can definately use some help in the secondary

The Welker move may be the best value in the signing period to date.
I like Oliva and Quesada (including Regius) a lot. I will smoke anything, though.
Romo is not the most clutch QB in the NFL but neither is Manning and we're arguing if he's the best ever. Before someone jumps down my throat, I'm talking about clutch when the season is on the line, in the playoffs. Both Romo and Manning have led comebacks in the regular season. Neither of them have shown an aptitude for doing so in the playoffs. The difference is the Manning is so damned intelligent, consistent and talented he can do enough without the need to comeback. Romo has yet to show that he can. And I mean Peyton Manning, Eli may very well be the worst QB in history to win multiple Super Bowls.
Also, why no one ever talks about Peyton being a choke artist is something I would love to discuss on another thread sometime perhaps.
Now, to my team, the Colts. They're putting together an unheralded group of free agents who might work out really nicely for this team. The Darrius Heyward-Bey signing should work out well for both parties. I sure hope some of his consistency issues are because he played for the Raiders and not because of, well, him.

Martel, his hands are not the best, and he is a good vertical route runner really. The guy is a good number 2, but he was going to get paid 8mil. I honestly thought he would excel with Palmer, but that was a trainwreck. He seemed to do well stretching the field then sitting on routes. He will be just fine in Indy, and is a steal at what you are paying him IMO.
And this P. Manning talk kind of hurts. I still don't consider him a choke artist. I'm not an apologist; he hasn't always played his best in the playoffs. But, I can lay the blame for many of his playoff losses in Indy squarely at the feet of others before I'd point a finger his direction. From Vanderjagt to Mr. Kendra, or a freakin' punter from SD having the best single-game display of kicking I've ever heard about. Things happen and it's a team sport. I'll give him his share of the blame, but no more. And if you're a Denver fan, do you really blame him for that loss, or do you look to one play from your secondary? Would you rather have Tebow back? Wait, don't answer that, I'm afraid of the response I might get.

I had one of those electric football table games that you turned on and it vibrated to make the players move. I always played as the Raiders...I had to check and make sure the other team was the Skins because I wasn't sure. The teams were the two from the previous Super Bowl. I loved Bo Jackson, too. I'm not going to say I'm a Raiders fan, or anything, but I do think it's a pretty cool franchise legacy to be a part of.

As for Flacco and Romo here are the numbers. This is an average over the past 4 years, I didn't think it fair to include Flacco's Rookie year. Also Romo missed most of 2010 so I just dropped that so his is an average of three years where Flacco's is 4, if anything that gives the advantage to Flacco as 4 years of averages will settle out a bad number more than 3. And let me be clear the only place that Flacco lead Romo in any one individual year was this year in INTs every other year every one of Romo's stats were better. Also Romo is known for throwing INTs right? Wrong he's never even had a 20 INT year, Both Mannings have done that twice. He's also never thrown more INTs than TDs in a season both Mannings have done that. He also has a much lower INT% than Eli and is only .1% higher than Peyton. Anyways, the numbers:
Flacco
Yards 3665.5
TD 22
INTs 11
% 60.75
QBR 55.48
Romo
Yards 4523.33
TD 28.33
INTs 12.67
% 65
QBR 65.69
I'll tell you why Romo was 3rd last year behind Brees and Stafford in total yrds and only managed to have an 8 & 8 record,,, Because Big D aint got no running game!!!
FWIW Sports Illustrated released an article where NFL players took a vote,, not talking armchair QB's,,we're talking NFL Players, And Tony Romo ranked 2nd in the "Most Overrated" category.. Number 1, Terrell Owens.. Number 3 Mark Sanchez....
This was before his new deal
Oh Im just getting started ;o)
Heres one for you Madurofan,, note... its from Joe Theismann,,being a skins fan you have to appreciate Joe

Eli Manning IS one of the worst QB's to win a Super Bowl much less multiple Super Bowls. He now has a reputation for making stellar plays and comebacks based on ONE play. I could break down all kinds of stats for you but clearly stats mean nothing to you. While you are right that some stats don't mean everything the combination of stats mean a lot. Yards alone don't mean a lot without high touchdown and low INT numbers. If you throw the ball more than anyone else and have a lot of yards and a lot INTs you're correct its meaningless. However if you throw the ball a lot have decent # of TDs and your INT % is one of the lowest in the league that has merit.
Joe Theismann was a tough QB and I liked him on the field. But before you use his opinion to back up your point go read some of the other things he's written, he's wrong more often than he's right. Actually he's an idiot. He has been chased off so many shows it's not even funny.
I thought this was funny
As far as Theismann goes, while he may be opinionated, he knows the QB position and I agree with his take on Tony Romo.
I don't know about your Philly comment. McNabb was way more inconsistent than Romo. A couple more simple stats that tell a story when put together. McNabb was a career 59% passer in the West Coast Offense, that is laughable. McNabb is only credited with 17 comebacks his whole 13 year career, Go look up other QBs that were once considered top5 in the NFL that's pedestrian. In 13 years he only managed to complete 60% of his passes 5 times. Again this is a West Coast Offense! Just to give you an idea of how bad that is, Jeff Garcia has a career % of 61 and Brian Griese has 62. Average QBs in a WC should have much higher than 59%. Yet Philly loved him. Also I wish I could find a stat on how many wide open receivers McNabb skipped the ball to.
Just for disclosure Romo is only credited with 18 comebacks(I never said he was clutch) but that's in 6.5 seasons not 13. He's a career 64.7% passer (NOT in a WC offense) and has completed over 60% all 7 years.
