That would be a big mistake IMO. Keep drafting QBs until you get it right.
Well to be fair, that might a surefire way to have a shot at Heisman McRapey next year.

The return game is why this move was made in my mind. He will be used in the offense but I think sparingly. It is a crap tonne of options for Kelly to use. Throw Ertz and Celek in that list as well. Some tough match ups there.

Yeah, I'm thinking some 2WR 2RB sets out of the gun with Ertz playing in a TE/WR spot. Not sure how you'd stop that.

So, the word is that DRC turned down 6 years $54M from the Broncos prior to the Talib signing. Either he really didn't want to be in Denver anymore or he got some really, really bad advice from his agent.

Nice...Pats secondary should be great...now if we can upgrade the rush and a wideout we should be good to go.

Awesome signing. Luck has a solid receiving core with Wayne, Hilton, and Nicks as the top 3 receivers. With Allen and Fleener as the TE's and Ballard, Bradshaw and Richardson as the RB's, that's a really potent offense.

Julius Peppers signs a 3 year deal with the Packers.

Very unlike GB to splurge in FA...and Im not sure i like this signing to break the mould. Dude is 34 YO now and coming off a very poor season.

I was with you until you mentioned Bradshaw and Richardson. One guy is getting older and can't stay healthy. The other might be the biggest bust since Jamarcus.

Haha that is a very fair comment. On Bradshaw I should have said if he can stay healthy. I think he can be a really good asset. Richardson had an absolutely brutal year last year. I still think he has talent. This year will be a key for him. If he does what he did this year, he will be a bust. I think he can bounce back though to 2 years ago. But like I said, a fair comment by you. I'm excited to have Ballard and Allen back though and Nicks on offense.

That's an awesome signing by the Broncos. D. Thomas, J. Thomas, Welker and Sanders as the top 4 receivers. They won't even miss Decker.

Richardson has a unique chance to be the biggest bust ever, if only because he can be the only 2-time first round bust in history. No other big time busts had two first rounders wasted on them.

Dude did he sleep with your mom or something? Everytime his name is mentioned in this thread you #### all over him. He had a bad year last year but let it go.

The only Saban Bama RB to do well out of his stable has been Lacy.
