    Jeff Tedford QBs had the same knock before Aaron Rodgers.

    I'm with Headbutt. Shanahan and Allen used the uncapped year to take a lot of deadweight off the books. Other teams could and should have done the same. There's no reason for them to be boned by it now.

    There's a reason why other teams did not do this.

    The NFL plays a lot nicer in public and has a friendly media that won't look into it much, but that salary-cap thing looks a hell of a lot like the NBA with the Michael Jordans and Dan Gilberts of the world wanting the league to give the smaller markets some love.

    Yeah, they're cheap. Seems like they're changing the rules in the middle of the game, no?

    The Redskins used to have a very big fan base in North Carolina, and that is pretty much gone.

    That's part of the Rams' problem; they don't play competitive football.

    It didn't stop the Rams from taking Bradford.

    Nothing to do with money. Cowboys "restructured" Austin's contract by converting over six million dollars of salary into signing bonus. Money is the same but cap hit is different.
     
  11. OK? Don't understand what your point is. I'm not saying that RG3 is going to fail because he's from the Big 12. The poster said that Pac 12 QBs fail in the NFL in a general sense (Rodgers and Carson Palmer have been pretty good, though). He used that to say it might be a reason that Indy could pass on Luck for RG3. I was just saying they wouldn't use that logic to take RG3 based on how B12 QBs have produced in the league. Simple.

    Doesn't that guarantee money that would otherwise not have been guaranteed?
