Comment on Wild Card Weekend Commentary: Understanding why the home teams gave such a great effort by atlkams

I have to disagree with your analysis. Not sure what point you were trying to make about the home team’s effort. Additionally, I watched Tebow play at Florida and he always managed to find a way to win, even when he was not playing his best. Time will tell whether or not he is a real NFL quarterback but people need to not underestimate his ability, his leadership, work effort and will to win.

Comment on The 2012 NFL Draft Quarterback Class is Unreal* by nflcombineresults

I think Robert Griffin III is a top 5 type, possibly a 1st overall type. He has the right combination of character, athleticism, intelligence, and passing skills to do what Cam Newton did in 2011. I would put him ahead of Matt Barkley but still behind Luck.

Jacoby Harris is probably a 4th or 5th round pick, but he could improve with a good combine.

There are also a bunch of other good QBs in the 2011 draft making it even more ridiculous that could end up being huge mid to late round steals, such as Russell Wilson, Brandon Weeden, and Ryan Lindley.

Good article, but when speaking of Joe’s “regression”, you forgot to mention that he working with all rookie receivers except for Boldin, but this is still his 2nd season with him after losing his all-time productive receiver in Mason and sure-handed TE Heap. His current
receivers have had a lot of drops, including Q. I believe we’re 3rd or 4th in the league in drops.
