RE: VY's mental state. This has been in question since reports of his shockingly low Wonderlic score were leaked. Certainly some of his comments and actions in recent years raise doubts as to his maturity. When one looks at the way Leinhart has handled his adversity and disappointment, Young...

Commentators have said Tebow isn't tough enough? Wow! What Florida team have they been watching? There may be problems with Tebow's game, but I would think his toughness is beyond dispute. It's just hard to project his future because Florida's offense is as primitive as it gets these days.

Right. A QB's job is to distribute the ball efficiently to his fellow offensive playmakers. Whenever I hear of the "new breed" of QB, I always think back to Gary Beban. Back in those days a QB in the NFL who tucked it in and ran was often considered a coward. It just wasn't done. That's what...

Right, it's always portrayed as a racial dichotomy, playing the position "White" v. playing the position "Black"; but that's just nonsense. It's playing the position right v. playing the position wrong. Young was a great running QB, probably the best, but he had to learn the discipline of the...

Cunningham admitted as much in the 1998 SI article (although he said he was encouraged to play this way by Buddy Ryan). Once he got hurt, lost much of his mobility, and learned how play the position, Cunningham returned to the league and had a monster season for the Vikings: they set the season...

Here's an interesting bit from Tuesday Morning Quarterback at ESPN.com: What I don't understand is why, with about three decades of evidence to draw upon, anyone still believes that QBs whose primary attribute is running with the ball can succeed over time in the NFL. This has been the next...

I can't get the links to work, but all the information is easily found at profootball-reference.com

Here's the data: http://www.pro-football-reference.com/draft/WR-1980-now.htm http://www.baseball-reference.com/draft/ http://www.hockey-reference.com/draft/ The WR selections seem to be getting worse in recent years. 1996 was a pretty good year for wide outs. Edited by: Alworth No.19

Sure. That's what I can never understand when a White guy excels in a black-dominated sport: it isn't like players like Welker are genetically unique. There are dozens of guys like him. Even at the pro level, Welker is virtually identical to Wayne Chrebet. Finding a White guy who is smart, fast...

What one of the Chargers had to say about the game today: <div id="Tixyy" style="border: medium none ; overflow: ; color: rgb0, 0, 0; : transparent; text-align: left; text-decoration: none;"> </div>

Actually, I think that taking any RB in the first round, or even the second, is unwise. In my lifetime of watching football, most of the great running backs have won very few championships.

If untimely fumbles are what has put Hillis in McDaniels doghouse, he should soon be joined by Moreno, who couldn't have fumbled at a more crucial moment for the Broncos today. That drop may well have cost Denver the game today, and the season. Even Brandon Marshall, of all people, wanted to...

Man, why would anyone vote for Spiller? Maybe he's "electrifying," but his numbers are mediocre at best. It isn't like he's set the college football world on fire. He' rushed for 894 yards, averaged 5.2 yards a carry, and he's scored 11 TDs. Those are Heisman numbers? Maybe in 1959. Plus Spiller...

Isn't this the truth. It's unbearable to watch an NFL game from beginning to end, either at home or in person. I had Charger season tickets for 30 years, but I gave them up in the mid-90s because the idiotic noise and racket was non-stop. It was like going to a really bad concert. I can't...
