The Dallas fan in me wants to vomit when I see disgustingly pretty deep throws like that, the VT alumni in me is proud as hell..... Ugh! Also I agree on Grossman, although as shown by the graph above the only relevant discussion even in 2006 was which Grossman was going to show up to the Bears game. Edit - Also, no one who seriously follows football is sleeping on the Packers. Most talk radio (and some of them are borderline retarded) I am hearing currently is saying any challenger in the NFC who wants to go to the Super Bowl is going have to go through the Packers. They have just elevated the Eagles to the rank of serious contender at this point. Its just the fact that the Eagles were already a playoff contender last season and then they decided to go all-in this season. | ||

it's a ppr + return yards, so scoring is kind of funky. one spot i've been confused on is the saints RB battle. Ivory carried for most of last season, averaging around 5ypc. Thomas was resigned for 4 years in the offseason. Mark Ingrahm was drafted at the end of the first round. And Sproles was signed in the offseason to essentially replace bush. Most mocks had Sproles fairly low, but I'm thinking with PPR (.5) and return (50 yards per point; 2 points at 100 yards; 4 points at 200 yards), he should certainly be a good mid draft pick. anyone else want to provide insight here?

He really should be a good #2 on a team somewhere. A bit of a waste of his talents ot have him as the #3 | ||

But then agian, ppr + return yards could give sproles a good value as a second back. Not totally sure what I would have done, go on your feeling. Steve Smith is solid, eagles are boosting it up for sure. | ||

The situations always appear to be way too convoluted (especially drafting this early when no one has had a chance to establish themselves to a role in camps yet). That said, if Sproles has secured himself the job as the return man, he could be worth a late round flier, imo. | ||

Otherwise, he's one of the better #2 receivers in the league. He's probably one of the best safety valves to get first downs if the first option is covered. | ||

Yeah microfracture, but that's hardly career ending in 2011, esp on such a young dude. I can see the team's resistance to giving him a multi year, but the gmen low balled him on the 1 year as well. A dude who had a 100+ catch season just 16 games ago deserves to get $4m on a one year for sure and the giants werent offering | ||

Is he still worth $4 million if he is only able to play 3/4 the season? What if there is any kind of setback in rehab and he is only there for 1/2 a season now? I think the offer they gave him is right in line with their expectations for his injury. The Eagles took a gamble, but it was a good gamble imo since they are really going all out this year for a Super Bowl run. | ||

I was arguing bout this with my giants buddy and then I went to look up salary figures. Corey Webster gets $8m, just a hair under what Eli Manning makes. Haha. | ||

Who knows, when he played a full season in 2007 (I think, dun quote me) he won defensive player of the year and was one of about 3 good defenders the colts had. The guy is a savage, his body just doesn't like 20 mph head on collisions with 200+ pound running backs. | ||

I didn't know Maclin was not practicing yet due to an unknown illness. http://espn.go.com/nfl/trainingcamp11/story/_/id/6853488/jeremy-maclin-philadelphia-eagles-more-testing Given the latest reports this was a good pickup even if they overpaid him. | ||

He had that really nice year in New York when Manningham, Nicks and Smith all had breakout or semi-breakout seasons - 2009? Plus he had that ligament damage, which isn't career ending, but robs athletes of leap and cut: Think 2003 Amar'e Stoudemire and 2008 Amar'e. On the other hand, I probably couldn't list...25? receivers I'd rather have and he's young, so it's definitely a fine signing. | ||

I know he is a great downfield threat, but I dont know much about the rest of his game. Edit - I didn't get to watch the Cowboys game yesterday, but the reports I read described exactly what I was expecting. Sloppy/Confused defense that has had 1 week to learn a new system. It still way too early to be worrying about it, and I have hope they will pick things up as pre-season progresses. | ||
