QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 10, 2012 -> 12:55 PM) It's a good thing they let Jackson trade away 1st round draft picks to obtain a bad QB that couldn't lead them to the playoffs in a garbage division. I would have fired him for that trade alone. Just awful.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Raiders have fired coach Hue Jackson. Reggie Mckenzie is not messing around.

QUOTE (Balta1701 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 02:31 PM) The son of Packers Offensive Coordinator Joe Philbin has been reported missing. Sounds like he may have fallen into a river. Missing person.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 9, 2012 -> 10:12 AM) Romo and Ryan are not better than Cutler, would love to see how they do with what Cutler has to work with. Cutler has that stuff when he played in Denver.

I think the Falcons need to work on those 4th and 1 in the off season.

QUOTE (lostfan @ Jan 7, 2012 -> 12:04 AM) No and that was just me expressing hope it would happen. Now that it won't, I'm going to start typing a suicide note. Both the guys you wanted for GM are gone. Who's next? I thought they were talking to someone from the Falcons, maybe.

QUOTE (knightni @ Jan 6, 2012 -> 12:54 PM) He was the Vikings' head coach a few years ago. I think that he's called a few plays before. Scott Linehan was the OC under Tice.

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 6, 2012 -> 11:44 AM) So McKenzie is close to signing on as Raiders GM? That seems to be a done deal.

I don't think Tice has ever called plays before. Risky.

So Tice will call running plays and someone else will call passing plays?

QUOTE (iamshack @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 02:09 PM) Drew Brees played pretty well in San Diego in 2004 and 2005....it was pretty clear he was going to be an outstanding qb...and then the injury happened... He was good in SD, but not like he is now. His last year in SD he had 9 more touchdowns than INT. This past year he had 32.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 01:57 PM) I'd say a good coach definitely helps those top QBs excel, so the coaches deserve credit. But if Sean Payton had Kyle Orton or Rex Grossman in New Orleans this whole time instead of Brees, how successful would he have been? Would he still have a job? The Patriots didn't skip a beat with Cassel (missed playoffs but were 11-5), but Belichick was easily under .500 in Cleveland as a head coach. You have to look at in the other way too. Drew Brees wasn't exactly tearing it up in San Diego. Mike McCarthy had a big hand in shaping Rodgers. They had to change some of the stuff he did in college. Like holding the ball up high. Look at someone like Matt Flynn. He was a 7th round draft pick. A QB who in college wasn't known for throwing. He will probably starting for someone next year. Does that happen if Cleveland had drafted him?

QUOTE (GoodAsGould @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 12:42 PM) I don't think Tomlin deserves to be in top5, hell our resident Steelers fan always seems to be b****ing about him. Reid to me is the same as Martz, he gets in his own way too often.... I think given how bad the 49ers were last season you have to Jim Harbaugh in the top5 and I think I'd round it out with John Fox. I don't know what to make of Fisher, It's hard for me to want a guy that insisted on starting Kerry Collins when despite all his problems Vince Young was clearly the better choice imo or even a ton of guys off F/A would have given more production than Collins. Tomlin is 55-25 in the Regular Season. He won coach of the year in 2008. In the last 5 years he has taken his team to the Super Bowl twice. Winning one championship. He's done all of this before the age of 40. If that's not a top 5 coach, I don't know what is.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 5, 2012 -> 12:03 PM) Not questioning your list, but the top 4 coaches have Brady, Brees, Big Ben, & Rodgers as their QBs. Do the coaches make the QB or the QBs make the coach? I think it's a bit of both.

I got married in Skyrim. My real wife thinks I'm weird.

I'm guessing 5-10 teams would go after V-Jax.

QUOTE (Steve9347 @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 08:49 AM) NBA 2k12 is perfection. I also got MW3 for X-Mas, but haven't put that in yet. Anyone out there enjoy MW3? MW3 game campaign was typical style. Continued the story from the last game. I think I liked the story from the last game better. Still fun. Same goes for the multiplayer stuff.

@skjensen Sean Jensen Reggie McKenzie, Packers director of football operations, is expected to interview for Raiders GM position today, according to source

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 4, 2012 -> 08:46 AM) I just don't see why the Polians are so attractive. Basically the exact same thing happened to the Colts that happened to the Bears. They lost their star QB and an astonishing lack of depth was exposed on an aging defense and offense. So, why the Polians? You would be going on what he did in Buffalo, Carolina and Indy(just not the last 3 years). I would tell him to leave his kid at home.

@skjensen Sean Jensen After talking to NFL executives, I don't see Eric DeCosta coming to Chicago. His wife is from B-more area, and Ravens take good care of him

QUOTE (HeGone33 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 04:19 PM) Oops, forgot about that one! Rodgers would look so much better is a Niner uni...... Actually Mike McCarthy was with the Niners when they took Smith over Rodgers. Funny how that worked out.

QUOTE (bigruss22 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 04:15 PM) LOL, that poster is definition of Packer Homerism, he is not a Bears fan whatsoever. I'm not a Packers homer.

QUOTE (MexSoxFan#1 @ Jan 3, 2012 -> 04:09 PM) And the Niners will not win because of...Alex Smith Remember when they drafted Alex Smith and passed on that other QB. What ever happened to that guy?
