Hey ChuckFrom what I just saw, the Eagles only got a 3rd this year. The 2nd is a conditional pick next year.
Why would he? If the Colts are on the verge of a top 5-10 pick why on earth would they keep playing him at 5-7? He's bad enough to go 5-7 but good enough to win 4 in a row just to miss out on the playoffs?That's not true at all. They could be like 5-7 and a game out in the division. He'd play that 13th game.
Because 9-8 could win the division. They wouldn't have to win out.Why would he? If the Colts are on the verge of a top 5-10 pick why on earth would they keep playing him at 5-7? He's bad enough to go 5-7 but good enough to win 4 in a row just to miss out on the playoffs?
Once again...they would be bad enough to go 5-7 but be good enough to go 4-1 down the stretch?Because 9-8 could win the division. They wouldn't have to win out.
Exactly. But the only guarantee is a 3rd this year and a 2nd next year. In my opinion, the Rams were fleeced for Stafford and the Eagles were fleeced for Wentz, who is going to eat up 38 million on their cap this year.Hey Chuck
fwiw
The conditional part is between them getting a 2nd or, more likely, a 1st......it's not conditional on whether they will get the pick or not.
Yes that's how it works. But again, you're exaggerating. The point is that, if they're within a game or two of the division, they aren't going to bench the quarterback with 5 games to go. Just doesn't happen.Once again...they would be bad enough to go 5-7 but be good enough to go 4-1 down the stretch?
Well he's a free agent so...problem solved.
The Colts
- losing Anthony Castonzo at Tackle. He had a nice career but was on his last legs
- Their oline, anchored by 3 time All-Pro Quinten Nelson, is still very loaded, and a top 5 unit in the NFL
- The RB tandem of Jonathan Taylor and Nyheim Hines is better than average
- They loved their three rookie WRs last year--especially Michal Pitman. They suffered early injuries and had setbacks. TY Hilton is getting long in the tooth, so they need to add to this unit.
- Their defesne is top 10 or better in the league in both total defense and scoring defense
Overall, taking away the QB, Indy has one of the 5-6 best all-around rosters in the NFL
- They have a couple of the best young defensive players (Darius Leonard and Deforest Buckner) in the whole NFL....so a great foundation.
Well, they did win 11 games.....and pretty much everyone except the Colts thought Rivers was long over the hill.So, I guess Rivers must have really stunk it up because that stacked a team only needed a bus driver and Rivers couldn’t do that. Or the WR injuries killed them.
I saw reports Philly may draft Lance
I’m exaggerating but you think a AFC team will go 9-8 next year and get into the playoffs lol? Cowboys traded for Amari Cooper and got better.Yes that's how it works. But again, you're exaggerating. The point is that, if they're within a game or two of the division, they aren't going to bench the quarterback with 5 games to go. Just doesn't happen.
But besides, because of schedule, injuries...there are a million things that play into a team turning it around. The Cowboys started 3-5 and then went 7-1 the rest of the way just two years ago.
Eww
Jerry Jones getting Dak in 2016 should of made him Gm of the year
