2012 NFL Thread: With more of Matt Moore!

[Erzengel]

Well he was interviewed at the Combine that it was a mistake last year and it added to much pressure to the team.

 

[Rowsdower!]

What is it about guys named Rex making stupid, cocky statements before the season even starts? Heh, I hope Rex Ryan promises to win the next Super Bowl AND the one after that, declaring his team to be the "real" kings of New York and Sanchokez to be a HOF quarterback. And they proceed to go 4-12, largely due to Mark's 15 TD/32 INT season.

And I hope Rex Grossman proclaims whatever team he's doing 3rd string duty for next season to be the best team of the century, all because of him, and they go 6-10. Because Rex will tell you, you can be a GOOD 6-10 team.

With the draft now officially set. The Colts are now free to sign their first choice pick before the draft. I guess we will soon find out where Peyton Manning will end up

 

[Erzengel]

Irsay is probably praying that something will happen which will take the decision out of his hand and not cast him an unforgiving light.

 

[kane9321]

He more then likely got told by his bosses to shut it or he is fired

this was my thinking as well

maybe RG3 to the redskins?

 

[Erzengel]

I heard yesterday that Raiders only have a 5th and 6th round draft pick.

Rumor has it that Peyton is already in Miami (ignoring the fact that he has a house there) working out & getting in shape with Reggie Wayne. Instead of doing all of that stuff near the Colts etc. So take that for what you will

 

[Immortalfire]

Who is Reggie Wayne?

Some ex College dude

 

[Immortalfire]

Gah, now I remember him. It's been a while. lol

 

[kane9321]

lol

Once again, everyone who has money owns a house here. So yes, ignore that fact.

Marvin Lewis says he is going to talk to Mike Brown about an extension, and says he wouldn't mind retiring as a Bengals head coach.

Someone please wake me up.

 

[Immortalfire]

You have my sympathy

 

[Yurka]

Antonio Brown has developed into a top tier receiver in his shorter career. Wallace is just fast. Every secondary with a quick cornerback can shut him down because he can't run routes.

But you take away a top corner on Wallace, leaving Brown with a lower skilled CB. If the defense puts their top corner on Brown then that's a big play waiting to happen with Wallace. Just Wallace's presence on the field is so beneficial to the offense, it opens up their playbook.

On a side note I think Heath is going to have a big year, Haley's a big fan of him. I also look forward to seeing what happens with the RB's in the offseason, and if Redman will start the season.

That's the funniest/saddest part to me.

Good, I really hope they utilize Heath more. He's got some of the surest hands in the league and I think if Ben targeted him more often they could be putting up Brady/Gronk numbers (at least occasionally).

 

[Rowsdower!]

That's the funniest/saddest part to me.

I'm glad Lewis feels that way because he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of retiring as a coach anywhere but Cincy.

 

[Darthphere]

It's just the I wouldn't mind part as if he's doing them a favor.

 

[Rowsdower!]

LOL, yeah.

 

[Boom]

You have to admire Bengals fans for their reaching abilities:

The short version:

Trent Richardson wanting to go up against Ray Lewis = Trent Richardson wanting to be a Bengal.

 

[Darthphere]

Makes sense. The Bengal is the biggest predator in the NFC North next to Ben Roethlisberger.

But it's not needed. Wide receivers are a dime a dozen. It is the deepest position in the NFL. Paying top tier money (which is what Wallace wants) to a receiver who is quick but cannot run routes is a bad move. Especially when the Steelers are having the cap problems that they are.

Ouch.

Umm....yeah, but neither of those are in the NFC North
