considering this team has roughly the same mean aggregate talent as a decent college team, it's as if he never left.

bs. This team is loaded with talent. It's missing experience and lacking in coaching in some areas.

Talent and youth are two things this team actually has.

The problem in the NFL is that talent alone rarely wins games.

I get tired of comments like this....there is 1 position on a football team that can drastically effect the look and perception of a team QB. A QB make a team look horrific when the rest of the team as a whole really isn't that bad.

See Jake Delhomme in 2009. Was that team bad or was the QB play causing the team to be bad. Moore came in and provide stable QB play and they dramatically looked different.

Bottom line is this team HAS a good defense, they have a great running game and they have a top tier WR. QB play can make all that irrelevent. People continue to act like the OL is garbage.....but they can not pass/run block w/ 10 defenders in the box consisitantly. Defenses are able to do that b/c of the QB (and that includes the play of both guys).

We have weak opponents this year?

Peyton Manning had a tough schedule his rookie year....check out his division.

New York Jets 12 4

Miami Dolphins 10 6

Buffalo Bills 10 6

New England Patriots 9 7

Indianapolis Colts 3 13

NFC is weak this year. Manning had tougher opponents than we will see this year. Peyton also threw at least 1 TD in 15 of his 16 starts. People need to leave Manning out of this Jimmy talk. Peyton ain't got nothing to do w/ Jimmy.

    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops. 
    • I saw numerous reports leading up to the draft that he'd been injury red flagged by numerous teams due to cartilage damage and wear issues that they think could shorten his career.
