Didn’t Tebow start the last 3 games last season? So don’t we already know what he can do.

Get this guy a QB coach who believes in him and who can clear up those awful passing mechanics. If he can become even a semi-decent passer at best, he’ll be a monster.

Why all this “Suck4 Luck” Talk when Jamarcus Russell is still available. I heard all the scouts say he was the most pro ready QB to be drafted in YEARS and the scouts are ALWAYS right.

Newton wasn’t hit with a helmet. Newton wasn’t hit in the helmet. Newton wasn’t hit in the neck. Newton wasn’t hit low. Newton wasn’t slammed to the ground. Newton wasn’t driven to the ground. Newton wasn’t hit by a defender who took more than one step before making contact.

AMEN, he was barely even knocked down. Can you not tackle the qb anymore in this league?

@phatnate-please learn how to spell…it is Philadelphia. @ londonfletcher- thank you for being such a phenomenally consistent player/leader for our team-you rock, & I hope that you will get an SB ring while a ‘skin…..I think the idea of “Suck for Luck” is ludicrous. NFL coaches understand that hype is sometimes just that…’anyone want to go back and purposefully tank a season for Ryan Leaf?! That’s what I thought:-). And, yes, please…keep downplaying the Redskins successes. They will surprise everyone @ the end of the season. And we won a SuperBowl with a qb who bears some resemblance to Sexy Rexy(Mark Rypien? Just sayin’…;))

@The Prophet

Should they end up with a shot at luck, think beyond the QB position and how much could it be worth to the Panthers to sell him to another team?

The Panthers in the “suck for Luck” sweepstakes? Are you crazy? Cam Newton is putting together one of the most spectacular rookie seasons in NFL history and you think they would consider Luck? Unless there’s some crystal ball somewhere that shows Luck is guaranteed 5 Super Bowl wins, the Panthers would be insane to go for any other QB other than Cam. Silly statement PFT …

In summary:

1. Head coach should be fired
2. 1-4 team need miracle to get to the playoffs
3. Player trade isn’t working out (yet)
4. Head coach will do well if his team does well
5. Referee made a mistake
6. Failing QB should be benched
7. Player got hurt
8. Player shouldn’t be traded (yet)
9. See #1
10. Bad record teams will deliberately lose to draft first

Ten best stories of the weekend?

No.

The roughing the passer penalty against the Panthers was bad, but how about their idiot head coach calling a timeout as the first half was ending, allowing the saints to kick a field goal? The Panthers went on to lose by 3, and that final drive by Cam could have been for a winning FG and not a tying one.

How are the Bengals supposed to trade Carson Palmer?

Which team in the league wants a 32 yearold QB with $40 million left on his contract? He’s an albatross… The Bengals are just SAYING they won’t trade him because no team will take on that contract. They can’t give the guy away. He needs to show up.

I suppose if the Cards had signed Kolb as a hired gun or stop gap, then perhaps it would be a bad decision. It’s a long term thing. People are so quick to write him off. He had no real off season with the team, changed systems totally, and is only 5 games in. If Kolb performs poorly next year, then maybe it was a bad decision. But PFT is always quick to jump on any Cards troubles, and make them out to be more than they are. And to put the word fart in the article, seems like the writer’s signature to me. I think they will be better after their bye, and Kolb will improve throughout the season, as he gets more comfortable in the system. That’s really just common sense, but on this site, there’s a shortage of that.

it’s still early to start the kolb is a bust talk in arizona…that being said why does everyone seem so surprised? what has kevin kolb shown everyone prior to the trade that made everyone so sure he was worth trading all those picks and drc for? i thought the cardinals gave up way too much

Kolb not good descision for Az? Then who? Derek Anderson??? DRC is nop where to be seen in Philly, Cards lost to skins due to a Chancy Stuxky fumble and to Giants on a bogus call!

Reid doesnt hold all the blame, vick is the deep rooted problem in filthy. He carries bad karma from all the atrocious tortures he committed on live bleeding animals, and was never charged for.

He cant read defenses, which makes him hold the ball too long. He is injury prone and he will never play a whole season.
Contributing to reids, and vicks responsibility for sucking up the place, is the sloppy lazy playing the rest of the team shows. They all think they are some kind of dream team… oh yeah they said that!

I guess they are a lose, lose, lose team! Their record supports that!

Now that Kevin Kolb has proven everything that a lot of people were saying, that he’s not very good, can we quit hearing about him finally? The way this site propped this guy up for the last 10 months was ridiculous.

For all the guff Romo takes (and some is deserved, no doubt), Schaub is underrated when it comes to throwing inexplicable WTF INTS at the worst possible time. Yesterday, vs Balt awhile back, etc.
I think the Cards would be better off with Bartel @ QB (if they still have him, not sure). Kid looked darned good in preseason and while stats alone in preseason especially don’t mean much, he looked like he knew how to play the game.

The Colts seem to be poised for some success? Really? They have two chances to win a game, both times they play Jacksonville. The Colts don’t beat the Bengals this week, and it gets tough to see a win anywhere other than Jacksonville after they blew the chance to beat the Chiefs.

Bill Polian will finally give us the perfect season we wanted, only this time it is in line with the Detroit Lions of a few years ago at oh fer 16

If Maclin & Jackson hold on to those 4th quarter passes on the potential game-winning drives, the Eagles are 3-2 and we’re talking a different ballgame.

With only three winless teams remaining, the one-win teams soon will be in play, with the Jaguars, Cardinals, Vikings, and Panthers possible candidates. (In theory, even the Eagles could be in the mix.)
_______________

What do you mean, “in theory, even the Eagles could be in the mix”? They’re a one-win team, aren’t they? Have they looked so much better than the Vikings or Panthers in achieving that record? If you think the Vikings and Panthers are in the same conversation with the Jaguars and Cardinals, then the Eagles should definitely be in there too.

During the offseason, Jackson was negotiating contracts, even before serving as head coach for a single game. Sunday’s stirring victory necessarily gives Jackson even more juice.

If he can parlay that into a playoff appearance, who knows? Jackson could end up with a Belichick-style arrangement, in which a personnel executive who answers to Jackson helps set the table.

Much remains to be decided in that regard. But Jackson will only cement his status within the organization if he can continue to push a team that hasn’t been to the postseason since 2002 toward a return to glory in the season that ultimately was the last one for Al Davis.

—————————————————————

You’re handing the keys to an entire organization over to a guy who’s 3-2 in his first season as a Head Coach???

Seriously???

Sorta like turning your vintage Ferrari over to your 16 year old son because he backed it down the driveway without killing anyone.

I don’t think you can run up the score nowadays judging by all the comeback games this year. Morgan is not a number 1 receiver. Someone had to play. We replaced the RB and the QB so the niners weren’t out to run up the score. They were still playing because there was time left on the clock. What happened to Morgan was just an unfortunate event.

Stop with all the Eagles “Gee we are surprised the Eagles lost” stories. The Eagles don’t matter.

You have to have at least an average QB to win in the NFL.

———————————————-

Buffalo beats Philadelphia.
Oakland beats Houston.
Seattle beats the Giants.
San Francisco trounces the Bucs.

Yup, definitely need that top QB and good recievers to win in today’s NFL……

Guess what QB I am:
“Oh Man, I’ve been in the league for six years, I can’t handle adversity, I can’t throw a tight spiral, I can’t read the blitz, coach has me on the hooked on phonics playbook cause I can’t run an NFL offense, thank god for Patrice Willis and These Runningbacks for carrying me.”

That protect-Cam-at-all-costs call was worse than the one they flagged Harper for against Cutler. Saints showed what they’re made of by winning their second of three in a row on the road. On to the Tampa *ay #ucking #ueers next week. I’ll say it again-Thank God Drew Brees is my QB.
