  • Yeah, I'd hate to be Michael Turner too... getting 150 yards must be so hard for him .

      • Michael Turner

        Roddy White

        And @ Cutler being picked over Rivers, re: Ben (of course based on DYAR and DVOA, it isn't so egregious as simply relying on passer rating ).

        I'll look over the rest later .

        • Missing: Philip Rivers, Marshawn Lynch, DeAngelo Williams... plenty of others, I'm sure. I'm never happy with these squads, but I guess it doesn't really matter... half the starters end up opting out over minor injuries anyway.

          BTW, it's Favre, not Cutler, who doesn't belong.

          • Yeah well, Arizona has good representation, as they deserve. Quite a turnaround, but they better get to grooming the kid for QB. They need to go defense in the draft.

            • I wonder if there's ever been a QB/WR/WR combo named as starters before.

              • I'm interested in knowing, but I'm not too interested in the research. Let me do a quick Google. I didn't get any ready results, so I give up.

                Imran? You don't seem to have enough to do. How about chasing this down?

                  I bet there has even been a QB/WR/WR combo named as starters before involving Kurt Warner, even.

                        Not to mention Farve?

                        He'll go anyways as an alternate so it's not so bad.

                        Didn't I say quite some time earlier that Rivers would get the snub over Manning, Farve and Cutler in that precise order?

                        • Well when the Chargers started tanking something fierce, it was a given. If they actually were winning, I'd bet you that Rivers would be the 3rd.

                            They are 7-7, same as Denver.

                            I don't see why Cutler should get in over Rivers.

                              • Good point about LT.

                                He should be there as well, despite his struggles.
