Troy Aikman said earlier that Marvin Lewis runs a pretty tight ship in Cincinnati.

Seriously.

You guys are hating on Vick too much. The guy needs some receivers to throw to. They need to use him in more bootlegs as well. Now a guy who I think is a "tad" overrated is Ben Roethlisberger. Whenever he throws over 20 attempts in game, the Steelers are pretty much screwed. But he's got talent around him. He had Hines Ward, Randle El, Willie Parker, Bettis, and a great defense last year. The year before, he was throwing to Hines Ward and Plaxico Burress. If that offense can make Charlie Batch look great, then it can make anyone look great.

Falcons have three first-round picks at wideout and Pro Bowlers in Alge Crumpler and Warrick Dunn, who's dangerous out of the backfield. Just saying.

Also, re: Steelers quarterbacks, Maddux had one decent season, then reverted back to his normal XFL self with Ward, Burress, Bettis, etc. around him. You can't tell me that Ben's success is all based on the people around him when the guy before him failed with the same talent, prompting them to draft Ben in the first place.

Just because they're first round picks, dosn't make them good. Just look at the Lions.

I will never understand, nor like, the tuck rule.

"Yes, it looks like he was tucking the ball in close to his body, so of course that means ... incomplete pass."

The Chicago Bears are what the San Francisco 49ers thought they were.

Just because they're quality, talented players with a history of success doesn't qualify them to carry Moses Vick across the River Jordan into the Promised Land
