and this is the point I've been saying for YEARS in regard to the great Brady/Manning debate. YEARS. I'm glad to see people are starting to understand. AND, again, we get grossly outcoached every game. Defense alone we have Johnson, Hali, Houston, Flowers and Berry with guys like Poe who have potential and guys like Arenas who are serviceable. You can't have an all-star at every position you need coaching to come up with schemes to put the 'average to system' players in position to succeed. We do not have that luxury. Denver has a QB that consistently sustains LONG drives and puts them in the lead so they can play to their defensive strengths (get after the passer)...we don't. Peyton Manning makes that solid defense with great playmakers ELITE and PETRIFYING. We have Houston and Hali. If Peyton Manning were our QB he'd enable them to be ELITE and PETRIFYING. I don't think you understand HOW MUCH Peyton Manning does for that team...offense and...and...ESPECIALLY defense. |

not to mention the fact Denver can take risks, or call aggressive defensive plays because you know what? What's the worst thing that happens? They give up a long TD and Peyton Manning gets the ball? Oh no!
We get down by 10+? Yeah. Ha ha. We're done. |

Our talent at key positions was pretty damn good. Still is, though it's largely the same guys. If Pioli were even reasonably good at his job, we could have been a consistent playoff team from '09 forward. I don't care whom Clark hires as the next GM; the sonofabitch doesn't get an "evaluation year." Furthermore, "rebuilding" is rhetorical bullshit sold on fans to get them to continue to support financially a shit team. It's fluff and does nothing but absolve blame and buy time. "Evaluation years," "Right 53s," "Processes," and "Rebuilding years" can be shoved right up the next GM's ass if he even dares utter these trite cliches. |

we were a blocked FG away from making the playoffs in a shit division with Matt Cassel, Tyler Palko and Kyle Orton at QB with Jackie Battle as our best RB and Sabby Piscatelli starting at safety.
Dreadful 2012. No doubt. Fortunately, we have easy fixes. We have to hit one two things to be competitive in 2013. Geno Smith + a competent coaching staff. Those two things alone can get us to 8 wins. Then we need to hit on some free agents, maybe hit on ONE more draft pick...and maybe see ONE guy like Poe develop into a good starter. We have FAR less rebuilding to do than the Colts did this year (even though I think that is the luckiest team we've seen in a long time). |

I'm also a firm believer that Indianapolis is a pretty lucky team this year.
Luck has been amazing. I don't see their overall group as a talented core of players. |

Okay. What do you call it when you install entirely new defensive and offensive playbooks and schemes, reassign positional responsibilities to your "best" players, and introduce an entirely new leadership group into the mix? I know ... let's call it "Gloobering"! That should work just fine. FAX |

Luck has something like 7 game winning drives this year...
So yeah, that's amazing. Shows what kind of gamer he is. BUT FLIP SIDE IT...they could very easily be 3-12. That team, IMO, takes a big step backwards next year...I think Luck puts it all together in year 3 though. |

Why in the world should the highest paid GM in the game get a mulligan, if one entire season can even be counted so lightly? |

Someone who is good with that PFF stuff could put all of our players or position groups against other teams and probably get a more accurate measure of where our "team" stands as far as talent goes.

Here's an obversation regarding the Colts - and this came from Gary Kubiak after the Texans played them - He said that they are deep in that when you take away the obvious stars - that most all the talent is the same level. They play a lot of thier roster each game (He said more than any team in the league) and the dropoff in talent when they sub is minimal. He said that it's a very good way to go through a rebuild in that teams can remain competitive with a GOOD QB at the helm. Interesting...

I disagree that we didn't fix anything.
The offensive line has been massively upgraded. Winston, Asamoah and Hudson are all good players.

And it will be on the next guy as well.
As has been pointed out several times, the core of this team hasn't changed in four years - it's just gotten older. We have all these easy fixes, yet the Executive of the Decade wasn't able to fix anything in four years. A QB is part of the problem, but far from the entire problem. |
