What's interesting to me other than the 98 Broncos, none of those teams won the Superbowl. Goes to show that defense is always more important come playoff time

Could they let Smith go and draft a rookie LT? Brate is a guy they can cut as well and save 6.5 million dollars. It’s risky going with a rookie LT.

Just a hunch, but I think Licht drafts OL with pick 32. If Brady is clean, he is still the best QB in the game.

They released 1984 DVOA @Ice_Ice_Brady

1984 DVOA Ratings and Commentary

Let's go back in time with another dominant 80s San Francisco squad and Dan Marino enjoying one of the greatest quarterback seasons in NFL history. Plus, the legend of the Chicago defense begins, Eric ****erson sets the all-time rushing yardage record, and the Rams score three safeties in one...

I understand all of that, but I think if someone is making a Top 10 Quarterbacks of All Time list, Otto Graham should be no lower than 3 in my opinion. I see lots of people do this, and some of my friends are guilty of it too. They'll give their 10 quarterbacks, and throw in Graham, and sometimes Unitas or Starr at 8-10. What that's telling me is their list is more like Top 10 of the Super Bowl era and those guys get a token mention.

Otto Graham did this

His record was 105-17-4 or 57-13-1 depending on where you look. He also had the accolades and dominant stats for his era.


1946: 12-2, 1st in scoring, won Championship
1947: 12-1-1, 1st in scoring, won Championship
1948: 14-0, 2nd in scoring, won Championship
1949: 9-1-2, 2nd in scoring, won Championship
1950: 10-2, 4th in scoring, won Championship
1951: 11-1, 3rd in scoring, lost Championship
1952: 8-4, 3rd in scoring, lost Championship
1953: 11-1, 4th in scoring, lost Championship
1954: 9-3, 2nd in scoring, won Championship
1955: 9-2-1, 1st in scoring, won Championship

And the year after Graham left
1956: 5-7, 11th in scoring


I had the below saved in my notes after seeing it years ago

How big of a difference did one man make? Graham retired after the 1955 season. The 1956 Browns returned their other ten offensive starters and had the leagues best defense - allowing 41 fewer points than the 1955 title team. They went 5-7.

NFL.com says 10 teams has enquired about the status of Wilson. It's interesting that there is so much interest when he is not even available.

Meanwhile, around this time last year. The Goat was available. Vegas and 49rs were tripping over themselves to announce they weren't interested. While others such as Bears, Panthers, Colts, were more interested in other lesser QBs. It's hard to believe that only 2 teams, the Chargers and Buccaneers, were the only truly interested team in acquiring Brady.

Brady gets jilted again. More fuel to drive him.

Any idea what type of surgery brady had on his knee? He’s gonna be out for awhile. It’s also on the same knee that he had surgery on in 2008 with the ACL.

Chris Godwin would prefer to remain in Tampa, and he’d prefer a long-term deal. He might not get both.


The Buccaneers want to keep Godwin.


The best way for the Bucs to keep the receiver is to apply the franchise tag.

“Yeah, I mean, the way I look at it, similar to like a lot of guys,” Godwin told MJ Acosta of NFL Media. “Obviously, we all want to have long-term security; we all want to be able to take care of the people that we love. So that’s the ideal situation. But, you know, a franchise tag is not something that I can control. If that’s what keeps me here, then that’s what it is. And I’ll play on it and go back to war with my guys. Like I said, I love it here in in Tampa. I love what we have building, and I would love to stay.”

Well, if he's going to be able to get back on the field by June, it's not an ACL situation. And 4+ months is a long time for a basic cartilage clean.

So we know it's neither of them. Best I can do for you off the top of my head.

I mean Brady won a ring I’m pretty sure those teams had fights in the front office after the super bowl. Imagine picking that scrub Rivers or Jimmy G over Brady can’t make this **** up
