Seattle, with Wilson (Rookie), have clinched a playoff spot

Cincy, with Dalton (Soph), have clinched a playoff spot (in back to back seasons)

Indy, with Luck (Rookie), have clinched a playoff spot (coming off a 2-14 season)

Washington, with RG3 (Rookie), can win the division with a win over Dallas on Sunday

Minnesota, with Ponder (Soph) has a win and your in game against the Packers at home.

San Fran, with Kaperneck (Soph) have clinced a playoff spot (although, it's hard to give him a bulk of the credit when Smith played a large role).

Pretty remarkable that potentially six of the 12 playoff teams will be fielding a starting QB in his Rookie or Sophmore season.

I think this sets up well for Teams like Greenbay, Atlanta, Denver, and New England in getting to the conf. champ. and eventually the superbowl. Each of those teams have a good amount of postseason experience from thier QB postion (even if Matty Ice has been Ice cold in the playoffs)

These young players are really making a name for themselves. (helped out by the NFL rules changes over the past few years) BTW someone is missing from this list..I can't quite put my finger on the name but its, its right there in black and white... Oh well it'll come to me.

OBTW hats off to Andy Dalton for leading the Cincinnati Bengals to back to back playoff appearances for the 1st time since the 1980's. That kid has really turned the fortunes of the franchise around. Great pick. Him and Andrew Luck will be the next Brady, Manning rivalry for years to come in the AFC while RG3 and Russell Wilson will fight it out for the top dog in the NFC.

      Okay, now face the facta guyd

      No, it will be a raw 6'7" 17-year-old European who just played basketball for the first time in March and who the idiot GM "had first on our board." He'll play the whole G-League season, get in 42 games for the Hornets and average 1.1 ppg on 35% shooting. Been there, seen that.

      JJ Jansen on tanking

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      We missed on Burns at his peak value. That’s the problem with trading for picks 2-3 years away (which people were convinced the Rams would suck by now and these would be higher picks btw). Each year away the pick is the further in value it drops. Fitt was clearly hired based on turning us around quickly. It’s one of the many reasons tanking isn’t really a thing as our player JJ is telling you in this original article. It would take the whole organization from the owners down admitting they aren’t winning soon with Burns and picks 2-3 years away having more value because that’s when we are still rebuilding. It would only make sense if Fitt had a longer leash and would more than likely be the ones making these picks anyway which you wouldn’t want. The question is would you rather have those Rams picks with the strong possibility of Fitt still being here or would you rather Fitt try to “win now” like he did and expedite his firing? Altering the timeline would affect more than just the Rams picks.

      Potential changes to playoff seeding

      By HaricotVert · Posted

      I dont buy the idea that it would create more competitive games Given this: Seed Current Format Record Proposed Open Seeding Record 1 Lions 15–2 Lions 15–2 2 Eagles 14–3 Eagles 14–3 3 Buccaneers 10–7 Vikings 14–3 4 Rams 10–7 Commanders 12–5 5 Vikings 14–3 Rams 10–7 6 Commanders 12–5 Buccaneers 10–7 7 Packers 11–6 Packers 11–6 That would mean Wild Card round would have been Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Vikings(14/3) v Bucs(10/7) Commanders(12/5) v Rams(10/7) Instead of Eagles (14/3) v  Pack(11/6) Bucs(10/7) v Commanders(12/5) Rams(10/7) v Vikings(14/3) Then with the reseed it would mean that highest remaining seed would always draw the lowest remaining team.
