Robert Mays of Grantland had an awesome note when he said that running $22 million worth of running backs behind $1 million worth of guards isn't a smart idea. | ||

I need to know if I cane make fun of the Eagles for that contract with out making someone cry. Putting fantasy football aside, signing a marquee RB is a terrible idea in this offensive environment. It's pass happy and pass plays are something like 58% of plays with only a handful of teams able to get close to 50% for running plays. This thing about RBs being dispensable is common knowledge now. Then you have to account for the influence of RB's old O-Line on past success, where you see cowboys O-Line moving defenses by a yard or so last year. Then you have to account for what happened to the Eagle O-Line this year. In the ground game, you have to have good guards. They're blocking. They're pulling. They're often going send level and erasing the linebackers. And Eagles let Mathis go and have a sieve. What a move. For fantasy football though, RB running stats give good production, so just based on the FF skew, there's more of a reason to pick up RB. But this is a really bad situation where maybe Chip Kelly can fix the line again and Demarco can get some production. | ||

For the life of me, I can't understand why Thompson was in on that drive. | ||

Who do you rank above cam? The guy who lost to Tim Tebow in the playoffs? The guy who keeps getting broken in Dallas? The guy in Seattle who has one of the best receivers in the league but is to afraid to throw the ball to him? The guy in New Orleans who couldn't win a game on the road if his life depended on it? The guy in Indy who set the record number of interceptions in his first 3 years of playing? The old man in Denver that looks like he's ready to go into cardiac arrest at any minute? Cam is legit #3 QB in the league right now. If newton was the QB on any other of those teams I mentioned, they would be going to the Super Bowl. Unfortunately, Cam has scarecrows for teammates. | ||

Say you put Cam on the Falcons. Do you really think Cam would be able to get more out of Julio and Roddy than Matt Ryan does? I'd say Ryan's O-line is even worse than Cam's has been, and Cam would never be able to get Julio in stride or in the pocket. He'd be constantly left high and dry, for some safety to spear. I feel like you're overly attached because 1) you're from NC or 2) you had him in fantasy his rookie year. | ||

Matt Ryan #1 Drew Brees #2 You can actually go around the league and name lots of better QBs. | ||

Cam is one of those guys. You can't just say, "Cam's team is shit and he gets them to the playoffs, therefore putting him on a good team will automatically get them to the championship game." Cam doesn't have all the passing tools to get the most out of his WRs, so giving him a bunch of OBJs instead of Ginn's will help a bit, but not by as much as you think. | ||

Im expecting something like 1. rodgers 2. brady 3. big ben 4. Luck 5. Cam Carolina's schedule is incredibly soft if you havent looked yet. Top 3 literally impossible though unless big ben commits asssault again and colts continue to suck all year | ||

Rivers is better, Romo is better when healthy, Wilson is basically Cam but successful. Brees and Matty Ice are still better in his own division. And I've already stated my opinion on luck. | ||

Neither belong anywhere near the top 5 though. There is zero reason for either to be over the likes of Romo, petyon, rivers, and at least several other qbs. Those guys have have been historically much better, and still currently are better. If we are asking who right now is better I'd take Peyton's noodle arm every time | ||
