Re: I cant post new threads yet--lumping topics
Yes, but you had teams like Carolina go through 4 QBs because of injuries. I believe that TB used 3 different ones because of injuries. The Dolphins and Raiders both had 3 different starting QBs to my knowledge. To my knowledge, that was the main reason most teams used more than 1 QB. Injuries.
Why do you think that there is a good chance the Pats won't be able to keep Mankins? 1st and foremost, the Pats are looking at a strong potential of uncapped years when his contract is up. Mankins is the type of player you build your O-line around. At the very worst, they franchise him. But he'll be worth it.
I like the idea of the Pats trading down regardless. I just don't think that D'Angelo Hall is the answer. I'd like the Pats to trade back into the 14 to 16 range. So that they still get the 6 years on the contract, but the money isn't nearly as much.
Well, with qb's the teams that need em are playing a game of chicken, and when one foot drops all the others will rush to be the 2nd. I saw a stat that said there were 64 different starting QBs last year, thats AN AVERAGE OF 2 PER TEAM! Just about every team in the league could look at 2-3 of these guys and say he might be better than my #2, right?

Only a few hours now until we lose the rights to franchise Moss, hope they are working overtime today--no lunch breaks!
Another reason to think OL is because you cant keep everybody....and there is a good chance we cant afford Mankins when his turn comes up. If we can find a guy that can play mulitiple positons inside we gotta replace Hochstien. I think Sapp finally had him pegged right.

Trade scenarios I like--
1-- I still like the idea of trading back with Atlanta and grabbing maybe their #2 this year,#1 next year and considerations.....or if he wasnt from VA TECH(UNLV of college football) A HOLE how about this years 2, next years 2 AND Dante Hall?? I know he wants a long term deal, screw him! We get him cheap this year, franchise him like Asante if he does well next year, and start the corner we draft when he leaves! Atlanta with 2 picks in the top 7 would make alot of people very happy!
2--Ryan falls to us,(and we dont like Gholston) we HAVE to take him if we want to start a bidding war. All you have to do is compare him to Brady Quinn, who will likely be shopped draft day, and he will look that much better!
3--Everyone stop talking about trading down with Dallas if DMF is at 7....there will be at least 2-3 teams ahead of us willing to trade back with them for the same value so there is ZERO chance that it happens.
Geez, if I put this in 10 different threads I could post my own thread by now,lol.
