Re: OT: NFL thread 2011
Cowboys' problems are that the owner is way too much into the everyday football operations....he basically had appointed Garrett as the next head coach of the team 2 years ago while they still had a head coach....that undermined the actual head coach...and now that Garrett is the coach, expectations are sky-high.
Jones needs to be more like Kraft

Re: OT: NFL thread 2011
Yeah was going to mention that Jones is the GM as well. The Cowboys have a bunch of offensive stars IMO but I think they will need to trade some like Austin or Bryant in order to address their secondary which has been beaten for 2 straight years now. Robinson seems to be Romo's favorite receiver now anyhow... after Witten.
I was wondering if Jones had any inclining to go after Luck and the #1 draft pick this summer?

Re: OT: NFL thread 2011
As what, Romo's backup or replacement? Is Jones patient enough right now to start over with a rookie QB,no matter how talented he is suppose to be? Would he be willing to pay the Colts price for the 1st pick, which will be VERY HIGH? I think will go after a better backup QB, one who can challenge Romo to be better in order to keep his job and maybe trade one of his receiver for help in the secondary. The question I see is will Rob Ryan be back? The suggestions I hear is that his system does not fit the talent, so once has to change. Maybe the St. Louis pick and Griffin III is a more likely target.

Re: OT: NFL thread 2011
I like Rob Ryan but he had no time to set-up the defense after the strike ended and that secondary is just plain awful. It totally wipes out a pretty good d-line that can blitz quite often but what's the point when the opposing QB just lofts the ball up in the air and it is caught most of the time. I could catch a pass in the Cowboys secondary.
Well I'm just speculating myself about Jones going after the #1 pick but ultimately I am thinking of someone who could replace Romo in the years ahead and few have the pedigree that Luck seems to have attached to him.

Re: OT: NFL thread 2011
This is a turning point for the team, whether to hang on to the past (Manning) for the next few years or go fully in to the future (Luck). You have to remember that Manning has a huge impact in terms of salary (both cap and real money) on any team interested, so the market will be smaller than if it was based on just talent. This is not to say that what the Colts will want for Manning will be cheap. The Manning situation will impact what the Colts do in the draft, Free agency, what they do with their own FA's Wayne/Saturday/Mathis etc and their coaching staff. If they decide to move Peyton, I think it will be the start of a major house cleaning with other veterans plus Caldwell and his staff being moved out the door.

Maybe Jerry can trade for Manning and Romo can go to the Jets.

Re: OT: NFL thread 2011
I think with the Polian gone, the chance of Manning be moved has increased greatly. They have the chance to hit the reset button on the franchise, setting its new direction for the next decade. I , for one, would not mind a change in the defensive philosophy, to one similar to the Pittsburgh/Baltimore mode. Unless the new GM is absolutely in love with Manning, I think there is going to be a new home for Peyton in 2012. I think that if the Colts were 8-8, this is not an issue right now. Being 2-14 allows the Colts to jump start the Post-Manning era.

Steelers making this interesting.....23-23 now...
Let's see how Tebow reacts....the McGehee fumble really hurt them...and Bailey dropping the interception in the end zone also hurts...
I guess it's up to Tebow to make up for his teammates' mistakes....
