giants released bradshaw and canty. I thought Bradshaw was a little odd, but then again, I don't know their cap situation. Wilson looked like he has some talent, but he lit up the horrible Saints defense, and then the Eagles when they were getting skullfucked to the tune of 42-7. It's not exactly like he did anything warranting such confidence in his abilities just yet. I assume it had more to do with the cap situation and Bradshaw's penchant for getting injured without fail. Dude always had foot problems. Which sucks, because he's a really entertaining runner, and still good. He broke 70ypg | ||

Because of the term, there's little risk here. Worst that happens is they waste a few weeks that could be used to get Foles more up to speed. Still, I doubt much comes of this. The spread requires a good line, and a qb who can make good quick reads and throw accruate. The Eagles line is Bears level bad, only masked recently by Vick's speed, and Vick is pretty damn bad at making reads and accurate throws. But again, due to the little risk involved here, they might as well see what he's got in that offense. | ||

Trading him would leave just about nothing else in that offense besides AP though. Rudolph is decent enough, but I am sure a lot of his catches are a result of LBs being more afraid of Peterson than him, and Harvin drawing help outside | ||

If the Vikings trade Harvin, Peterson may actually hit his 2500 yards since he'll end up getting about 80% of the teams offensive yards next year. Sigh. | ||

I thought vikes were under the cap it means probably more rebuilding but they can afford shit. | ||

Peterson is a friggin stud, but I think Harvin really coming into his own this year helped him greatly. Without him, that's 8 in the box all day. He was already gonna get that but that will happen all three downs if Harvin is gone. | ||

Harvin is great and all, but asking for Calvin Johnson-type money just makes yourself look like a tool. | ||

Anyways, after watching the combine, this is a amazing draft for o/d-line. And Manti Te'o is highly overrated. He played good versus garbage teams but when he faced stanford and Alabama, two of the few teams that actually has somewhat impressive o-lines he looked clumsy, out of place just as he did in the combine ( Stumbling around, slow 40, looking out of shape). | ||

I'm guessing that teams aren't impressed with this year's crop of QBs that will be available at the draft. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/8995035/san-francisco-49ers-agree-trade-alex-smith-kansas-city-chiefs-source Yep, quite the sweet deal for the Niners I must say. And Harvin, a former Gator, overinflating his own worth? No way....whodathunkit........ | ||

Trading a second pick for a terrible QB when we badly need a #2 corner and another WR in a draft with quite a few good ones... somebody please kill me now. There's hardly any notable receivers in this draft. This draft is stacked with offensive line and defensive talent. | ||

Smith, for most of his career, HAS been a terrible QB -- albeit under some pretty severe extenuating circumstances. That's a high price to pay for a guy whose career has more negatives than positives. Well sure, but the picture changes when you consider present, viable alternatives to Smith. All things considered, I think KC would have been hard pressed to find someone definitively better. | ||
