Hey, I say bring him back if you can. Obviously no hard feelings on his part and he's showed he can thrive here.
That said, I can't imagine he makes it through waivers, far too many teams with big needs at WR who still consider themselves contenders. Chicago, Washington, San Diego, KC just...
The only way it could have been sweeter if Miami had also found a way to lose and eliminated themselves from the division entirely. If the Pats keep winning though, they don't need to worry about what the Dolphins do.
Throw Crumpler in there too, he had some sick blocks.
Even Matt Light, who has a propensity to look a bit turnstile-ish at times looked excellent, I believe against Jared Allen for most of the game. Granted this the Allen of years past, but Light had several good blocks that I saw.
The...
I think it's a perception problem - The Patriots haven't really smacked anyone around this year for an entire game the way analysts expect "elite" teams to do. Their most resounding win (Miami) was a close game which was broken open by the special teams, so really their most conventional...
I really wanted Darrius Heyward-Bey for the Ravens, so they could draft a local kid. But since he was off the board, I just went best receiver available.
re: 2009 NFL Mock Draft Game: Discussion/Vote Thread
I had the Redskins last year, but I see they've already been taken.
In that case, I'll take a little drive up 95 and take the Ravens.
Unfortunately that doesn't make it incorrect. If I wasn't biased, that's probably the one I'd pick too. You know how I know it was an amazing drive? I still have nightmares about it.
I'm a Patriots fan, why wouldn't I root for every single one of our players to have a monster year?
I still think the guy has a lot of talent, so hopefully he can stay healthy.
I thought what they said was that they looked at it in the booth and decided not to ask for the review. That seems very strange to me, there's no reason not to let the official go under the hood. Get the call right, this is the Super Bowl.
Are you doing H2H again? I was in the league last year, and admittedly fell off checking a great deal because of work. If you were considering switching to roto, I might be interested in playing again (if you'd have me), but I've never been a fan of the H2H format for baseball (borne out by my...
I realize I'm in the minority on this issue, which is fine - you all make some very good points.
It boils down to this: If I'm an opposing GM, have I seen enough of Cassel to warrant giving up my first round pick, thus deciding he's going to be my franchise QB? To me the answer would be no...
I'm aware of that, the offers the Browns received for DA were well publicized. Even though he didn't get traded, that doesn't change the fact that his 2008 season serves as a cautionary tale in over-valuing a QB based on one season. Those teams are probably as glad they didn't trade for him...
I would like nothing better than if potential trading partners looked at it in exactly the same way.
I'm confused, are we having a discussion about how much we could get in a trade for Cassel, or having a collective ballwashing session? I love Cassel too, but the way we feel doesn't really...
Thank you, this is exactly what I was saying.
I should clarify that I agree with those who have responded to my point that Cassel is a better bet than Anderson to sustain his 2008 performance.
That said, my point is that I can see where teams might make the comparison. After all, both are...
I won't refute that, but my point was that asking for the world in trade based on one year of performance is asking a lot. The Browns probably wish they'd traded Anderson when they had the chance.
Let's just hope other teams are willing to give up something substantial.
I know this won't be a popular sentiment, but if I was a team looking to get a QB I would look at Derek Anderson's 2007 compared to his 2008, and might be a little weary of acquiring Cassel. I know we love him around...
