I'm a red sox fan and papalbon has gone from among the best closers in baseball to a good closer. My wife has a crush on him. So when I start yelling at the tv for him giving up the tying/losing run she starts to hate on me and says nobodies perfect.

I tell her that he has 1 job to end the game without giving up the tying run.

So I fully believe that these guys making insane amounts of money should be accountable for poor play. As a cowboys fan (I know my dad is from Boston my mom is from Texas) I never trusted Romo as a full time QB and I fully believe that the cowboy will never be able to Hite a credible headcoach as long as Jerry is the owner.

I am a redsox fan and cowboys fan as well lol. When I was real young, my dad only watched football and was a cowboys fan. When I got older and started liking other sports I became a Boston fan, but stuck with the cowboys for football.

Jerry definitely hurts the coaching situation. If he knew when to step back, Bill Parcells would probably still be there. I would really like if Bill Cowher went there.

We can argue who should go where in the draft all day long. I just did a quick web search and found Matt Barkley list as the #2 rated QB. Now I'm seeing reports that Luck isn't as good as everyone says. So we'll see what happens during the real draft.

[Rooster89]

Luck has too much publicity to be looked over. its TB syndrome(TeBow). Still, seems the cowboys won't replace romo...for a while. They need a real franchise quarterback, and real head coach, and a real general manager....

And I am white sox fan. and a blackhawks fan...and a bulls fan...and wisconsin badgers fan.

Luck is not only hype, check his completion pct and red zone ratios...the guy is legit. Cowboys are used to choking by now and have to be rebuilt.

[Lemers]

Phill Simms hasnt completely bought into Luck yet.

"I think the hype is a little too much," Simms said.* "I feel bad for him in that respect.*I mean, [how's] he going to do to match what they say he can do? There's a lot to him. I think his best quality, by far, is that he's big and strong and he's going to be able to move and run in the NFL. There's no question. I mean, this guy is strong.*The throwing? He manages a game.*I see all that.
"But the one thing I don't see, I just don't see big-time NFL throws.*I don't care what anybody says. I've watched a lot of him. He never takes it and rips it in there.*And you can say what you want but, man, you've got to be able to crease that ball every once in a while. We see it every week in these games. Hey, he can develop it but even in the USC game, you know, he's very careful with it, guides it a lot. That's what I see.*
"There's not a lot of rotation on the ball and there's not a tremendous amount of power. Not that you need to have that power arm.*I'm not saying you've got to have that exclusively but, man, it sure helps when you can do that because there's four or five plays a game it is about arm strength. And sometimes quarterbacks who don't have it, they pass those plays up. Why? Well, they go, 'I don't know if I can make that throw,' so they throw it short. That's why I'm a little more reserved in my judgment than everybody else."

Simms is pissed his son got beat around by West coast teams, being the contrarian in the slim chance Luck isnt great he's the only one tooting his horn.

[Lemers]

Here's my take in it though

If the colts get the first pick they should trade or pick someone else

if MIA gets the first pick then they should take Luck

No matter who is picked first the contract is pretty much deteined by last years first pick. I just can't see a team paying that kind of money to a player who isn't going to start right away. As long as Manning is in IND Luck will not start and I'd don't want to see a replay of the farve situation happen with manning claiming retirement every year.

I think MIA will try and start Luck and we will see if he is good enough for the league or not.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Or they can pick Luck and then try to trade him to a team that's really desparate for a new QB later on in the season.

[m4a1mustang]

Redskins could use a new team.

[b1adesofcha0s]

Patriots desperately need a decent pass rush if they want any hope of winning the Super Bowl.

[m4a1mustang]

Good luck with that.

I've already accepted being consistently disappointed with the Redskins season after season.
