Picked up the 2009 Preview yesterday. Some interesting predictions but I like this one:

NFC South 2009 records:

1-Carolina Panthers (11-5) (2nd in NFC)

2-New Orleans Saints (9-7)

3-Atlanta Falcons (9-7)

4-Tampa Bay Buccaneers (4-12)

I know its pretty much a collection of popular opinion, but it made me happy.

Well if you want an under the radar comment, they picked Tony Romo over D. Will as a more important to his team, having more potential, and more productive player.

there is no such thing as under the radar in the NFL. Under the radar is a term used originally by fans who got tired of seeing their team ranked terribly each and every preseason and wanted to have a eason to bark early anyway and has since morphed into a ridiculous belief that a fan sounds cool if he has a desire for his team to hide in the shadows and pounce on unsuspecting and ill-prepared opponents. As if that could actually happen in then most anticipated, most covered, and most popular sport in the US with each new season.

Anyone who says they are glad to be flying under the radar is just as correct if they say they are glad to be the proud owner of a flying pink unicorn with gold teeth who grants three wishes to anybody with webbed feet.

It's just ridiculous....In my opinion.

Haha, this is great. People diss us and you guys whine...now someone picks us to win the South and you whine. What the hell?! :lol: I love this board! :)

And I'm tiiiiiiiiired of flying under the radar. We'll never be BIG TIME if we think of ourselves as helpless little underdogs. If our organization and players can't act like the best, we'll never be the best.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
