    This sucks... but it is only May; any chance he could be back on the field by October or November?

    2014 Minnesota Vikings

    2014 Position Battles/Outlook While I admit the hiring of Mike Zimmer worries me, I still feel the Vikings will be one of my favorite teams to keep an eye on this season. Here are some of the battles to watch: QB - Matt Cassel vs. Christian Ponder vs. Teddy Bridgewater ... Matt Cassel should...

    2014 Kansas City Chiefs

    2014 Position Battles/Outlook Alex Smith has really become a fun QB to watch. A legitimate dual threat, look for him to lead he Chiefs deep into the playoffs in 2014. Looking at the roster, Chiefs could still use a little help along the O-line, particularly at guard, and at WR. Here are some...

    2014 Indianapolis Colts

    2014 Position Battles/Outlook The Colts have a few interesting pieces to pay attention to this season starting with Andrew Luck and TE Coby Fleener, who should both solidify themselves as upper-echelon players at their positions. Here are some preseason battles to watch for: LG - Joe Reitz...

    2014 Houston Texans

    2014 Position Battles/Outlook QB - Fitzpatrick vs. Keenum vs. Savage ... Fitz should be the starter week 1, and if he struggles at all, Case Keenum should get his chance. I think Savage stays on the bench his first season, though I expect him to be the future at the position. OG - Ben Jones...

    2014 NFL Draft

    That sucks about Morris; I was expecting him to eventually put Hightower on the bench where he belongs... Hopefully he is still on the radar of a few other teams.

    2014 NFL Draft

    You forgot LB Jake Knott as well. On the contrary, Looking at the Eagles position breakdown defensively, I'm expecting Maragos and Hart to sneak into the starting lineup sometime this season. Nate Allen is laughably bad; Malcolm Jenkins is very inconsistent; Don't know much about Earl Wolff...

    2014 NFL Draft

    Just a quick recap of some of the Undrafted free agents to keep an eye on, along with my two cents: Glenn Carson - LB - ARZ - Wouldn't be too surprised if he not only makes the team, but gets some snaps on defense too. Ryan Hewitt - FB - CIN - Has a pretty good chance to beat out Orson...

    Yeah, I saw that too. The Saints have kept two fullbacks before, and really when you look at it, beyond Pierre Thomas, there's really not much to talk about at RB, so there's a good chance Hester sticks.

    White WR revolution?? White Wide Receiver news thread

    Yeah, Jordy should be a lot higher. Decker and Welker should also make the list.

    This is good news! Looking at the packers tight end lineup, he could have a chance to start! Of course lets not get ahead of ourselves, but Quarless has never impressed me..

    2014 NFL Draft

    I agree; why would the team that just drafted their franchise QB say something like this... Unless this is just some BS from the media... Just imagine what would happen if Wilf or Zimmer PUBLICLY said such a thing about Bridgewater... Rioting in the streets perhaps? Of course, its a moot...

    2014 NFL Draft

    This year's draft has been a mixed bag as far as who went where, and who is in position to contribute, but still too much white talent passed over at skill positions, especially on defense.. Max Bullough? James Morris? Ty Zimmerman? Tanner Miller? Daniel Sorenson? Dan Fox? Spence Hadley? Kyler...

    2014 NFL Draft

    Yup, like when Jay Leno told Mark Cuban that the Mavericks were very white. Within a couple years, Dirk was the lone horseman. or when Larry Bird was criticized for having too many Whites on the Pacers. That team was torn up really quick too. or when some dolt pointed out the Saints 'snow...

    2014 NFL Draft

    Yeah, his best bet is they cut him before training camp... but they wont; they'll let him rot on the bench for a few years until everyone forgets about him... What a disappointment. Borland is capable of immediately stepping in and starting; that almost assuredly won't happen in SF...

    And there it is, the affirmative action pick. Everyone got their wish, a black QB was drafted in the first, and where does he go? He gets to play with Adrian Peterson, where all he has to do is not screw up, and he's a hero....

    So who does this Marcus Smith take snaps from? Connor Barwin or Trent Cole? I figured the Eagles were set at OLB... .............. Manziel should be ok in Cleveland, would've much rather see him in Houston tho... and yeah, nice job by the Lions, now they have two affletes at TE, yet...

    2014 NFL Draft

    I honestly don't see Clowney as anything more than a situational pass-rusher; maybe, maybe 5 sacks/season... certainly not 1st overall material.. When the Rams picked Robinson, Gruden said he's 'raw', and 'not fully devoloped'... Well Jesus, why would you pick him second overall if he's not...

    Bad News.. Jags three year starter at OLB Russell Allen has retired after apparently suffering an on field stroke in the season finale last season.

    I hate this signing for several reasons: 1. Daniels is a starting caliber TE; now he's a back-up to Pitta. 2. He and Pitta now have to share touches, meaning neither will put up huge numbers. 3. Adding Daniels will delay the development of Furstenburg, who is a more than adequate #2 TE. 4...
