Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker

Teaming Tim Tebow with Mark Sanchez makes no sense whatsoever. One of them will be the back up and the other one will be the starter. As soon as Sanchez struggles or shows inconsistency, Rex Ryan will put in Tebow quick. It's all going to come to a continuing quarterback controversy.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker

Has a single favorite landed a player this off-season? I mean lets look at this shall we?

Matt Flynn - Dolphins: Ends up with Seahawks

Peyton Manning - Redskins and Dolphins: Picks Denver after narrowing down choice between Denver, Tenneesee, and San Francisco

Robert Griffin III - Browns: Redskins "outbid" Browns for 2nd overall pick

Tim Tebow - Jacksonville, New England, Miami: Goes to the Jets

Mario Williams - Anyone but Buffalo: Goes to Buffalo

Vincent Jackson - Redskins and Bears: Goes to Tampa

Carl Nicks - Stay with Saints?: Goes to Tampa

Eddie Royal - Redskins: Signs with Chargers

Seriously can anyone think of one free agent that signed with a new team he was projected to go to?

Well a lot of people thought Griffin to the Redskins, and Seattle-Flynn, Tampa-Jackson, Buffalo-Williams was mentioned here a few times

Whose projection?
I saw about umpteen different ones.
And I figured all along we would get Griffin.

I think this is par the course when people make projections about who is going to hire who.

But what is more fascinating and worth looking at is why folks made most of these projections: they were either made based on "connections"/networking or reputation, i.e Redskins land every Tier 1 (BIG ONES) free agent under the sun.
Now, I think we did land RGIII precisely because Jeff Fisher might have had a subconcious inkling to help his buddy out, so for once, networking did play a role for us.

Brandon Lloyd to the Pats was pretty much called for by everyone.

Not sure, maybe Alex Smith but that story wasn't lacking it's own drama.

Re: 2012 NFL Free Agency Tracker

By trading for Tebow, the Jets are creating a situation that will allow their fans to crush Mark Sanchez's confidence. If Sanchez should have a poor game, Jets fans will boo him mercilessly and call for Tebow.

Jets management lacks even the slightest clue about how to develop a young QB. If I were an oddsmaker, I would say that there is a better chance that Tebow will finish the season as the Jets starter than there is that Sanchez will.

If this is the case, then that it very sick. The purpose in getting a back up QB is for insurance for when your starting QB is either too injured to play or to relieve him when his play leaves much to be desired. The purpose of attaining a back up QB is not to cause controversy and dilemma on purpose. That is absolutely insane and breeds dysfunction.

I love it. (NOT a Jets fan is an understatement!)


I'd love to see Landry light up Sanchez in practice, trying to prove he's healthy...and both players end up with injuries...leaving Tebow as the starter.

The bears have made some pretty strong moves this off-season. Now, if only they'd fix that line, they might actually get somewhere...

It's Sanchez's job to lose. Jets probably intend to use Tebow to replace some of Brad Smith services because...last year's intended replacement did not do that well.

Besides, Sanchez should worry more about his already-wrecked relationship with Santonio Holmes moreso than what Tebow is going to do to him...and he should start milking Sparano's brain on how to get better almost immediately.

Don't feel like starting a new thread on this but De Smith has been re-elected as NFLPA Executive Director
