Yep, for the last several years the Seahawks and Cardinals have been battling it out for that division while the Niners and Rams have been bottom dwellers. I think that might getting flipped upside down.

I've honestly never been that big a Pete Carroll fan. I think having a great roster probably got him more of that success than great coaching on his part.

The call to pass from the one was reported to be Carroll's call, not Bevell's. He was said to have wanted Wilson to be the hero rather than Lynch. 

That's a really stupid reason to make an in-game decision.

Definitely a tough division, but still way too early to know what's going to happen. I just think Seattle has the best QB in the division and with a few moves, less than the rest of the division needs to do, they could be right back in the playoffs.

The 49ers are definitely on the up and up, but also have a lot of holes. They have a ton of money to spend but that doesn't always equal wins. Jury definitely still out on Garropolo but early returns are certainly solid.

I think the Rams overachieved last season. I looked at their schedule from 2017 and they did have a pretty easy schedule. They did have some quality wins, but they just added a lot of personality with Marcus Peters and Aqib Talib. With a young head coach, heightened expectations, and a more difficult 2018 schedule, I think a little losing could be enough to absolutely implode that team. I see a trying 7-9 season for them next year. 

I'm not sleeping on the Cardinals either. They also have a lot of talent. David Johnson is a monster at RB and if he's healthy it could help whatever QB they get have a decent enough season to push them into the playoffs. They have a ton of talent on defense still and we all know Steve Wilks is smart and will have that defense playing well.

There's always money man. Think they're still in court over it.

Must be nice. We are all worried how we can conserve 24M and get a couple players, you guys have $30M and need to resign your HoFer QB where the market has been set to be $30M+. Bringing in Wilkerson and talking other big name FAs, Saints know how to hide money or something?

Lol. Saints have plenty of money.

 You do know that if Breese has not signed a new deal with the Saints by the start of the new league year he becomes a free agent and $18 million of dead money hits the Saints cap space at the same time.  I don't know how much they have and I can't do math in my head but,

What they have now - $18 million = less than what they have now.

I think my math is right on that but double check it and get back to me.

      Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.

      I wake up this morning full of rage towards Ronald McDonald Rivera / Gettleman / Hurney

      I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us.

      From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
