Just some random thoughts about the team after the conclusion of tonight’s game against the Jaguars: Josh Johnson’s development continues The backup QB was 9-14 for 122 yards and a TD. Once again, he looked calm and in total control of the offense. That said, I would like to see more than three first half [...]

Here are my thoughts on this team / the roster after the completion of game two. These are in no specific order, and these thoughts aren’t entirely dependent/reflective of the game against the Chiefs.

Here are my thoughts on this team / the roster after the completion of game one. These are in no specific order, and these thoughts aren’t entirely dependent/reflective of the game against the Dolphins. 1) We need to upgrade behind Josh Freeman I’ve been as big a supporter of Josh Johnson as you’ll find, but [...]

It’s no secret that I haven’t been one of Michael Clayton’s most ardent supporters over the years. The Louisiana wideout has been a failure since his breakout rookie season in 2004. That year, Clayton led all NFL rookies in receptions (80) and scored 7 TDs. He was one of the few bright spots on an [...]

We as football fans have been fortunate to live during a time where we can watch and marvel at the careers of the game’s best passers; guys like Joe Montana, Dan Marino, John Elway, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady.  Not that either of the last two guys in that group list are on [...]

They went into Thursday with twelve selections and turned them into nine players, including two significant additions on both sides of the ball.

Here are my final top 10 players at each position in this year’s draft.  I expanded a few of the positions based on the high number of players I expect to be drafted fairly early at them.  These rankings are intended to reflect my projections for the level of success each will attain in the [...]

(FYI – This mock was developed prior to the McNabb trade; hence Clausen to Washington.) The last version I put together looked a little too inside the box.  As a general rule, if you see the same picks by a lot of people, they’re unlikely to come true.  So I tried reshuffling things a little [...]

Alright, I’m tired of messing with this thing. I’ve been battling with a few unsettled picks, but I’ll just go with them for now. Here’s a post-Combine look at how I see the draft playing out: ROUND 1 1) STL – Sam Bradford (QB, Oklahoma) Ok, I’m biting. The Rams choose 2010 to not pass [...]
