I'd agree with that assessment.

There are issues with him. Unlike Manning (P) and the truly greats his decision making can be slow and he needs a lot of protection, also his release isn't the quickest. Having said that, he has poise, great feet, is as tough as teak (needs to be with our O line) and has a huge arm. I'd like to see him be more accurate with his intermediate throws.

I think there are four or five top notch QBs' in the league - Peyton, Brady, Rovers, Brees and Favre. He's nowhere near their class and probably won't ever be but I'd put Campbell in the middle of the next pack. We can win with him.

One thing I loved was that Shannahan said that he would make the system suit the QBs' strengths, the opposite of what Zorn tried to do by making Campbell a west coast QB.

I hope we keep him if for no other reason that there will be nobody better in free agency or, in the short term, in the rookie draft class.

What about Colt McCoy ?

Eagles really need to step up a few gears if they are gonna get past the 'Boys tonight. If they come out like they did last week, we'll take them apart again.

Vastly over-rated. Has a pretty poor arm strength wise. He is pretty accurate but IIRC he has had shoulder surgery twice.

I wouldn't touch him before round 2.

Can't say I've heard about McCoy having shoulder surgery, certainly not twice but then again I go through patches of following the college game so I'm not always totally up to speed

Sam Bradford has had surgery on his shoulder though.

Some Rams fans have expressed their desire to take Suh with the 1st pick and then grab someone like McCoy or Tony Pike out of Cincinnati in one of the following rounds.

Let the games begin

My picks to go through to next week

NY Jets
Dallas
New England
Green Bay

As long as I get the Pats result right I dont care who else wins TBH

Yeah i'm mistaken. Sam Bradford has had shoulder surgery not McCoy.

That would be a decent option taking Suh but 2nd round QB's are pretty prone to not being succesful. If you take Suh i think you wait and take Jake Locker next year. I think Clausen is the best option by a mile though.

Apparantly they're looking to Pete Carroll.

According to NFL.Com they've agreed a deal with him but can't announce it yet because of the 'Rooney Rule' where they have to interview a black candidate,so even though the Seahawks have got who they want they have to fly across the country to talk to the Vikings Defence Coordinator Lewis Frazier when they know they don't want to hire him.

Re: NFL Chat 2 : Sat Jan 09, 2010 7:50 pm  

I like Pete Carroll I hope he does well, there seems to be a few of ex-Patriots coach coming back into the league for next year with Charlie Weis going to the Chiefs and possibly Romeo Crenel heading to The Chiefs or Giants

The Rooney rule is stupid if you already have the coach you want, I wonder if the Colts/Seahawks had to do it last year because the coaches were already in the organisation? They only get a $250k fine anyway its pocket change to the Seahawks! dont they have the richest owner in the NFL(the same guy who co-founded Microsoft with Bill Gates)
