gabbert is gonna be the worst QB from this recent class, right?

he really needs to get over being spooked by any and all nfl pass rushes

i think part of his problem at missouri is that so much of their offense involves quick passes from the shotgun and so the qb rarely gets touched

gabbert literally just dropped the ball as he was running with it

wow gabbert just straight up drops the football for no reason

that and the worst snap anyone has ever seen.. and we still have 6 min of football left

wtf blaine

the jags two longest pass plays were a shovel pass to mjd and a pass that was completed to an eligible lineman

I'm pretty sure this happened on this drive:
Gabbert rolls out, screen isn't there, so Gabbert just dumps the ball into the ground despite facing no pressure.

it's better than dropping it? he did that too

maybe he's protesting the firing of jack del rio?

I think he just presumed that nothing was there so a sack must have been forthcoming, let's end this play asap

i didn't know jaws was third on the qb consecutive start list!

Jaws was a pretty good QB.

wow the chargers are only two games back now

lollll

chucky wtf, sleep in past 3:17am plz

i love him too much

Tom Brady? He'll kill ya. If he catches you half asleep,
he'll punch you right in the face with the stretch -- he'll
hand the ball to Woodhead, or Green-Ellis, or Ridley, or
Faulk. Guys aren't ready. They're not ready. He'll do it five
plays in a row, on national TV, in front of the world. And he
loves nothing more than humiliating you. Because I know
this: he humiliated me. It's a hell of a system they have,
and he is the greatest trigger of our lifetime. Look at him!
He's snapping these plays off before the Jets are ready.
You can be as multiple as you want on defense, but, when
you play Tom Brady, he regulates you. He turns you into
[whispered] trash.

^str8 fire, beautiful chucky

lol

he'll be back coaching by 2013 if not sooner. He's sublimating the hell out of his need to coach with the amt of prep he puts into MNF.

if he really has "the need to coach" i'm sure like half the teams in the league would want to hire him, including one that's about to get THIS GUY Andrew Luck

oh hell yes, I'd love to see Gruden in Indy!

@davehydesports Dave Hyde -- Archie Manning says obvious: Peyton and Andrew Luck on same team isn't, "great for either one." Believe me now? Peyton will be available?

hear me now and believe me later.

we have to work "slapdicks" into a nyer cartoon caption

tight fit

can you believe me now?

Colts absolutely should trade Peyton if they know what's good for them

they know what's good for them! that's why they're determined to go 0 -- 16.

i think they know that

they can probably ease up and win a game. the other hopefuls already screwed-up, in reverse, by winning one or two (or four, in the case of one woebegotten franchise) by now.

Welcome back to the NFL, Jeff Garcia! In related news: sorry, Kellen Clemens.

Wes Welker has not dropped a pass this entire season, on 127 targets.

Welcome back to the NFL, Jeff Garcia!

HAPPY DAY!

oh word garcia is back

my favorite!
this is where i'd link to the garcia vs favre thread if we weren't sandboxing
welker is my favorite, even if he is a patriot

Baltimore, Tennessee, Houston, and Jacksonville...geeez

wouldn't it make sense to keep peyton around a year or two and make sure a. luck's gonna make it in the pros b. he 'learns from the best'? seems a bit risky to trade one of the best qbs of all time w/o having that insurance. I mean no matter what happens, if you had to make a bet 'who's more likely to win a super bowl within the next 5 years, manning or luck', manning's still a safer bet.

I guess one counterargument is 'isn't peyton gonna catch on to this' which I think can be prevented if the colts make sure peyton is doing commercial shoots w/ literally every free moment of his time

I think Luck would have better luck learning from a good QB coach than a guy who's going to fight him for playing time until his dying breath. I don't think Peyton's going to be a good coach until he's not playing anymore, and maybe not even then. I could see him being the worst kind of micromanaging coach.

I guess. I'm sorta seeing this as a favre/rodgers parallel, which worked out pretty well for the packers, but I guess 'favre's gonna retire' was always in the air and 'manning's gonna retire' is not. a situation where a top nfl qb gets years to study and develop w/o pressure doesn't happen too often...

I guess it woulda been perfect if this happened 3 years from now

Manning to Tennessee fucking PLEASE

p. sure archie will only countenance a trade to new york

Peyton as Eli's backup, yessssss

perhaps you forget the j-e-t-s jets jets jets

both Peyton and Luck will be at their maximum value for the Colts next year. trading one (ahem) could bring back a huge haul.

the question is how good would Rodgers be if he started on day 1? we cant really answer that. his situation was kinda unique. keep in mind the Colts are about to come off an 0-16 season, and I don't think they're a playoff team w/ Manning anymore.
