I am not a Cary Williams fan. Can't wait for Jimmy Smith to supplant him.
Baltimore is probably my favorite team to watch of the teams that I don't actually care about.
At this point I don't really pull for any teams. But I certainly try and catch every Baltimore game I can.
The level of respect the players have for the real refs is palpable. No bickering, less shoving. The game feels like it's actually in control. This does not suck.

That's a good pick.
I might have to say McCardell. Stephen Davis was, at least, one of the top 5 RBs in the game for a few of his seasons. McCardell was never even a WR1 on any of his teams.
I just looked at McCardell's career stats, and they're much better than I expected. Five 1000 yard seasons, which is a lot of balls considering he averaged less than 13 yards/catch. He's like a poor man's Art Monk.
Stats aren't everything, but I give you Steve McNair vs. Jon Kitna.
If McNair is a HOFer someone like Kurt Warner is first ballot, IMO.
That's cause he played for the Jags.
Seriously though, Brunell might've had decent rushing numbers but he wasn't a threat like McNair was. McNair was scary in the red zone.
Yeah, I was in large part talking about the tds. I'm not sure if I consider McNair a legit HOF candidate or not, but that MVP probably put him on the ballot. McNair was a starting QB his entire career (outside of his first two years). Only injuries kept him from playing longer. Brunell on the other hand wasn't always a starter and I think that tarnished his reputation. Plus, he played for the Jags and didn't get as much love as he probably should have. And he was white. There, I said it. I'm not sure how much I mean it, but I said it.

But probably not right now, right? :)
It's more of a Cortland Finnegan thing than anything. Williams annoys me and I don't make excuses for him when he gets beat like I do with Webb.
I'm not sure how much I mean it, but I said it.
By that rationale Randall Cunningham should already be voted in. I think it matters to voters that...
A) He played in a Super Bowl
B) He won the MVP one year
C) He came into the league with a bit of fanfare after setting records in college
D) He was pretty well liked and died tragically
Somewhere down that list it probably matters that he came into the league at a time when coaches were still trying to convert most black quarterbacks into WRs.
Let the wild-assed guesses continue.
Chargers at Chiefs
Seahawks at Rams
Redskins at Buccaneers
49ers at Jets
Titans at Texans
Legion you list Vegas Line.. what exactly does that mean? Are you looking at the point spreads for the given game?

Where's Jonathan Joseph fit? I was under the impression he's been shutting down one side of the field.
This year, Grimes is actually grading out below average so far. Cox is in the positive range but only has one game to his name so far, having made his first post-injury start this past week.
Well, Grimes' coverage responsibilities have changed pretty significantly since he was put on IR after the first game.
I'm not involved in sports betting, so I don't know if perhaps my use of the words "Vegas Line" is confusing.
Vegas line would imply that for instance the Packers giving NO 7.5pts next week that they then win by 8 points+.. Not just win. But you clarified what you are doing so I'm good. I vote next year we move to include spreads and not just pick ems.

From a strictly fan perspective, he's totally awesome. We have total confidence in him.

No way! Would have never guessed that.

I don't see what you did there, gumbie, but since our teams are playing this weekend, it's a good time to once again show everybody this educational video about the group of folks Tennesee named their team after:
Hm. Do I e-mail that to my in-laws in Nashville?

In-laws are the BEST, aren't they?
