Tebow had a GREAT day for fantasy points. You are forgetting he also rushed for a TD and had 96 yds. rushing to go with those 2passing TDs and 2 INTs. Tebow is a legit fantasy QB. He's basically a better Tyler Thigpen, who was excellent down the stretch when he was given the chance in Kansas City. Thigpen sucked in reality, but his additional yardage rushing made him a weekly fantasy option. The league manager did me no favors putting the SB in week 17. Had Brady on the bench, Calvin Johnson didnt play, Hillis and AP stunk it up and the carousel of defenses blew up in my face when I went with Arizona over GB or Dallas. My opponent had Aaron Rodgers, Jamall Charles, Steelers D, and a cast of nobodies. My other WRs in Britt and Wallace came up decently and my TE was big in Gronkowski. But Tebow is what won the game for me. |

I think a lot of people overlook the rushing stats of quarterbacks.
Guys like Josh Freeman and David Garrard add 2-3 fantasy points per week simply because of their rushing. Their passing stats look mediocre, but they can easily turn in a game as good as guys like Ben Roethlisberger, Joe Flacco, Eli Manning, Matt Schaub, and other low-level starters.
If Tebow can get to 3-4 fantasy points for rushing yardage, while possibly getting to double-digit rushing touchdowns, he will be a viable fantasy QB. He may have his ups and downs, but his ups could be absolutely huge.

Browns have potential. Hillis is a monster, they have a good secondary with a good offensive line. Maybe they should get some d-line help for Rogers or a WR through the draft and they should be a solid team in the future.

He calls for the FG team?! WTF?! The Browns have some pieces. Colt McCoy, Peyton Hillis, a left side of the OL, a secondary, TE in Watson and an up and coming WR in Robiskie with Cribbs in STs. A premier WR, a linebacker or 2, little more help on the DL, help the right side of the OL and this team can contend. 5 wins this year, could be 8 or 9 in 2 years with some key FAs and a well designed draft. |

I'll probably be wearing a throwback. I actually don't have a ryan jersey yet. I might go with Tuggle. Or Fralic or Case.

Hooray for the Panthers sealing the #1 pick. Maybe now we can find a REAL QB. Clausen deserves a second chance. Get him an offensive line and someone to catch the  ing ball first, then can him if he sucks. Completely disagree, personally. Clausen could have had Jerry Rice out there and he still would have been god-awful. I'm usually one to give slack to a rookie QB but he was horrendous. |

I might just have a bias toward Clausen, but if he has a good team around him, he may be good. I see them taking Luck and having him act as the starter. He might be as bad as Clausen this year.

Jimmy, John Fox was horrible. Him and Jeff Davidson are completely garbage. John Fox NEVER made adjustments and Davidson calls the same plays over and over.
Clausen - I don't know. He seems afraid to throw anything other than dump-offs to the RB. If Luck comes out we take him, no questions asked. Trade Smith for some picks and let's get some good young talent, sign a couple FAs and see what we can't do.

The reason Fisher is most likely gone is b/c he has a clause in his contract that says he picks the Qb.If i was Bud Adams i don't know who i would keep. If you get rid of Young you get rid of a decent young established NFL QB.Who would they go with next year? Collins again? He is getting up there in age and they would have to draft a QB and you would prob. have a year of building him up before he is a good starter. Fisher is a good coach but at times it looks like he could care less what his team is doing.

Um, if I'm Bud Adams, you go with Jeff Fisher, hands down. The dude is one of the best coaches in the league.
Vince Young is an underachieving little snot bitch who isn't that good in the first place. The Titans went 6-10. They can draft a quarterback with the 8th overall pick.
Seriously, if they let Fisher go, they are making a HUGE mistake.

In some fairness to Vince Young he's a solid QB these days and more important to the Titans winning then he's given credit for. The season completely went into the tank once he was injured and they've won two games in the past two years that he wasn't the starter for.
But damn is he drama filled and injury prone. Those two things considered it's very hard to have confidence in him.

Fisher had them within a yard of a Super Bowl victory.
I think a solid rookie quarterback with that underrated receiving core and Chris Johnson would be a good start. Its not like the Titans offensive line sucks, and the defense is solid as well.

Letting fisher go will be the biggest mistake the titans make.
