First off, Peyton Manning didn't even play last year, so why is he so high on the list? and why are folks trying to act like Matt Stafford has been play great since he turned pro when we all know last season was his first full season of playing since he turned pro in 2009. Comeback kid??? Did he even play well his first season to be coming back from something? I swear I feel like I'm in the twilight zone when it comes to these talking heads and their well scripted BS.

Can we separate sentimentality from reality? Sadly, unlike the Peytons and Staffords who will be rewarded for simply showing up and having a decent year, Cam is going to have to always prove that he belongs..

I wonder where these folks will trying to place Luck next season if all he has is a decent year the way they are giving him so much rope to work with...SMDH

It isn't a ranking of last year...it is a ranking for 2012. Peyton Manning sleep walks to 10 win seasons. If Peyton plays, which is the assumption, he is better than almost everyone

But it's based on last season's performance. Peyton sleep walks to 10 wins with a team he has been playing with for how many years? And he's practically molded around him. I guess any QB can do that if given Peyton's rope to grow. Question is, will Cam be given that much rope or will he be kicked to the curb as soon as any sign of failure shows up?

And don't get me wrong, I love Peyton but I sometimes feel that there are certain QBs who are treated much more sentimentally than others.

IMO, any accomplishment Cam achieves is going to be open for debate and I don't see why when it's not like that with every QB.

2011 factors in.... so do other things. Andre Johnson and Peyton Manning are better than

most of their peers. If you are projecting 2012 you don't just spit out a 2011 end result as your projection

Stafford had a helluva year last year. The rankings are solely based on what each individual did in 2012.

I agree about Peyton, but I wouldn't take away anything from Stafford who went over 5,000 yards last year

So after last night I'm confused. They were saying in weeks prior that players voted based on last year's performance. Then Peyton Manning is #50 because his absence affected the Colts in 2011. Then last night it was said that the vote should be based on their potential play in 2012. Like, in the future. Huh??

I can predict that, in 20 years, no 2012 player will be playing in the NFL. :P

      Some homers' opinions of the OTs that we may realistically be able to get at 19

      By MHS831 · Posted

      You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.

      We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
