Seven of the 10 executives said Newton was currently a top 10 quarterback in the NFL. Each of those seven executives spoke glowingly about Newton's talent level. One AFC executive mentioned his "ability to take over a game with both his arm and his legs" while another AFC executive credited Newton's "passion for the game and poise under pressure" as reasons why he has already attained top 10 status. An executive of a team that played Newton last season mentioned how difficult it was for his team to "get that big guy on the ground." Despite all this praise, however, none of these seven men ranked Newton as a top five quarterback heading into the 2012 season.

I am not sure why we feel the need to validate his abilities by using the thoughts of others over and over.

Can't anyone be confident in what is right in front of them?

I despised the Delhomme tenure but was he so bad that we have to trust the opinions of others above our own now? Did faith in Jake burn the psyche of Jake fans THAT badly?

maybe so.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
