Well your clearly biased, Denver with Manning is just as much a contender, they beat teams without an offense last season imagine how good that defense can be with an actual offense on the other side making the other team one dimensional.

 

THe 49ers won 13 games without an offense last year, imagine how much better the best defense in the league can be with an actual offense on the other side making the other team one dimensional. Championship.

And this Brandon Marshall story seems to be nothing more than a money grab.

 

I cant imagine a Prosecutor touching a case where the alleged perpetrator's wife was hit in the face with a bottle.

 

Oh that? Just the best WR the Bears have ever had.

I really hope this punch thing turns out to be less awful than it seems on its face. I really really want to love this guy. I thought he sounded pretty good today at his presser. Like someone who has done a lot of work to study and better understand his disease.

#2) If you are willing to throw that much at a wide receiver, why not spend that money on YOUR BIGGEST GODDAMN NEED WHICH IS A PASS RUSHER? One of the best pass rushers in the league is available, proved he is capable of being successful in either a 4-3 or 3-4, and you just so happen to be running a hybrid 4-3 next year. If you can afford to pay 2 receivers $20+ million, then you can assuredly afford to pay a receiver and a defensive player $24-26 million, especially when that one piece could quite literally take a mediocre defense and turn it dangerous. It then gives them options with the #10 pick, be it another pass rusher (because Merriman obviously will not last a full season, especially as a DE), a WR, OT, DB, Tannehill (if he were to fall), or trading up or down. It doesn't make a lot of sense.

 

Whine like a little b****, and ye whines shall be answered.

 

I put Mario Williams on the same level as Julius Peppers and, really, their numbers leading up to their free agencies were quite similar. Williams averaged 10.3 Sk/16 GS, while Peppers averaged 10.8 Sk/16 GS. From what I gather of the two, Peppers is a little more aware of the passing game itself, having deflected, on average, 6 passes a year compared to Williams' 2, and that he either hits harder or if better at knocking the ball out, having averaged 4 forced fumbles a year compared to Williams' 2. They are both great players and Mario Williams is absolutely worth that price to the Bills.

 

They still have quite a few needs around the team, including depth in the secondary and at linebacker as well as a situational pass rusher to sub in for Chris Kelsay (though it's certainly plausible, if extremely unlikely, that Merriman could fill that role to some extent next season). They could also use help along the OLine and another good deep threat receiver (which is why they had Meachem in Buffalo before he signed with San Diego) as well as a developmental QB.

 

I am extremely excited about this move and about the Bills team next year. A DLine of Mario, Dareus, Kyle Williams, and Kelsay/Merriman-other situational pass rusher looks really damn solid and hopefully Wanne can still run a defense.

Chiefs sign OT Winston

Brandon Lloyd to the Patriots. They also signed WR Anthony Gonzalez (formerly of the Colts Injury report).

Manningham signs two year deal with Niners, how can Peyton turn them down...

Manningham will be a nice fit for our 49ers..

Because not everyone is clamoring to be a Niner.

Because SF still doesn't have a #1 receiver? Alex Smith meets with the Dolphins, SF better make a move on someone before they end up with no QB

randy moss, vernon davis, mario manningham, and michael crabtree are great targets - maybe not a true #1 in there anymore, but thats as good of targets as hes going to find for a team that doesn't have a true #1 receiver. hell even kyle williams is a decent option

49ers might also sign Tolbert. Talk here in San Fran is that we will draft Fleener.

In Randy Moss' last season, he gave up on 3 teams and put up a staggering stat line of 28 catches for 393 yards. He's 35, not 25. And Crabtree's no show in the playoffs wouldn't have me very confident in him.

I just watched Brandon Marshall's press conference and suddenly feel better. He may be mentally ill to some extent, that can be hidden. There is no way that that guy is just some thug, though.

I dont think anyone would classify Marshall as a thug. Just someone who makes bad decisions that puts him in bad situations. It's good he caught his issues early and didnt end up like Barret Robbins.

Borderline Personality Disorder. Look it up, that's what he has said he has.

Matt Flynn to Seattle

Chiefs sign OT Winston

 

Great signing. They are having a very nice off-season. If Peyton stays away from Denver they have to be AFC West favorites

Matt Flynn to Seattle

They will regret wasting 3 years on him.

We will learn pretty quick if it is the system, the Packers, or Flynn.

Chicago fans can b**** about Cutler all they want, but at least we're not putting our stock in guys like that anymore.

 

It was mentioned to me the other day that all 3 current Bears quarterbacks right now might be the best 3 of the past 10+ years

Matt Flynn will be a good QB, I don't know if he will be great. Time will tell.

They will regret wasting 3 years on him.

 

3 years of Matt Flynn >>>>>>> 3 seconds of Tarvaris Jackson

It might be their best ever. All that means is the Bears have had an awful QB history.
