NFL - Are You Ready For Some Football?!! - Post SuperBowl

They continue to go through a long list of mediocre skill players without getting the elements of a team that might actually win.

Javon Walker signs with, um, Oakland...

For Randy Moss money, even.

Terrible signing, not because Javon Walker is mediocre, but because he's a good but oft-injured player and he's getting Randy Moss money.

Oh, and Aaron Rodgers looks like the best QB in the NFCN.

[-Jrabbit]

I like Javon OK, but this is reeediculous...

Raiders agreed to terms with Javon Walker on a six-year, $55 million contract, with $16 million guaranteed. He'll make $27 million in the first three years.

I think the QB situation in the NFC North should not be a matter of who's the best, but a matter of who sucks the least.

QFT.

Rodgers also walks into the best situation. The Pack have a very good defense and a nice OL with some young, but decent skill players.

I'd say they planned on cutting him after three years, like another big contract recently signed (TJ Duckett-SEA), but given that he makes precisely half the money in the first three years that's obviously not the case ...

27 is "precisely half" of 55??

If I get the money from the rounding error, I'll go along with that.

[snoopy369]

Given the precision they're using (the millions of dollars level), it's precisely half if you assume they are truncating rather than rounding

I'm not saying Grossman is good, but I think he may be better than those three lugs...

Unfortunately Grossman will in all probability never amount to anything other than being the brundt of a lot of jokes, why?

Because to paraphrase Gene Hackman; "He has no heart".

The bears should have just let him go and try to find someone in the draft, and get by with Orton for a couple of years.

[snoopy369]

The thing is he's reasonably cheap for a QB. Going with Orton will mean we definitely suck for several years (unless he suddenly improves, like I thought he would last year, but didn't). Grossman is an adequate backup for Orton and might sometimes be a better choice - indeed you could start the matchup like in baseball, start the QB that presents the better matchup

[Lord Avalon]

Except you can't tell beforehand when Bad Rex is going to show up.

[snoopy369]

That gives us a reason to watch the games
