Big Three Poll On Nfl.com

There's a poll on NFL.com right now asking what the best 'Big Three', QB, RB & WR combo, in the NFL is. The options are:

  • M. Shcaub, A. Foster and A. Johnson
  • M. Ryan, M. Turner and Roddy White
  • M. Vick, L. McCoy and D. Jackson

And you guessed it:

  • C. Newton, J Stewart and S. Smith

I think it's interesting that they chose to add us to the poll and especially interesting that they listed Stew over DeAngelo. You'd think with the question of whether to list Williams, Stewart or both they would have gone with a team with an every down back instead of one by committee like us. Roethlisberger, Mendenhall and Wallace sticks out in my mind as a combo that is a better QB, #1 RB, WR combo than ours even if Cam, Smitty and DeAngelo and Jonathan combined are better than them.

Thoughts?

Stewart got more reps than Williams and played a slighty bigger role. If you pick a RB kinda have to go with Stewart for this question

58 more yards....and Houston would have had 2 1000 yard rushers

Philly is the worst option on that list. Vick has fallen off tremendously and Jackson isn't an elite number one receiver. Don't know why anyone would pick them.

I agree, Jackson took a huge step back last year. At this point he was a one year wonder. Only trio I would consider is HOU really over us

Both Williams and Stewart are better than Mendenhall and Smith is better than Wallace.

Don't know why they would put Pitt over us.

I'm not saying Pitt's guys are better than ours. It's just that with them you don't have the issue of having to choose between two comparable running backs. Mendenhall had double the carries of their next back.

      I encourage you to go back and watch his college play. Notice how he immediately backpedals to 10 yards behind the LOS on almost every snap. You can't do that in the NFL. Your OTs have no chance of keeping those freak show edge rushers off of you. You can't create a pocket that deep. Bryce can chuck it when he has an airport runway in front of him to step up into. There's a reason why "ease of creating velocity" is such a talking point evaluating QBs. It's not how hard or how far you can throw the ball given a perfect situation. It's how hard and how far you can throw the ball in a typical NFL game situation and that's where a lot of my concerns with Bryce were going into the draft. There were way too many plays in his college tape that if you were watching that purely in terms of translating it to the NFL it just didn't work.

      Yeah, like I said I get it. From a revenue perspective I'm not a good customer for them. They've probably intentionally tanked offline franchise mode to try to get people online. Again, not a terrible strategy from a pure business perspective. I can't really be mad at them for doing what's good for business but yeah, from my perspective it still sucks.

      Ok let me be more specific. Smith was a stud before Newton got here do you not agree? Yes, LaFell improved under Cam but then had his best years after leaving the Panthers with Cam as the QB and going to NE. So he improved playing with someone else. Olsen was in Chicage the year before Cam arrived and statistically had the same numbers his first year with Cam.  Hope that's clearer for you.
