Twenty Things I Learned From Early Preseason (SportingNews)

saintsrule · 08-18-2006, 04:57 AM

I disagree with the Brooks comment, everything else, I'll wait to see during the season.

Brooks is O-V-E-R...Shell will end up choking him for grinning like a retard at the wrong time...its like he has Teret's with giggles instead of foul language...

Agree with Papz on the Cutler take...I pushed for us to trade down to take him but I did not know Houston was going to have the largest brain fart of all time...

I agree with you on some of your points except for a few. The Falcons won't be in the playoffs this year. After a rough start, Vick will either get hurt(I'd say around weeks 8-10), or benched and Shaub will come in and win a few games, creating a QB controversy in ATL for 07. The Redskins are not a overrated team, they just lost a very very good runningback, and their QB won't win them many games. He is more of a game manager now, and without Portis, he will have to win a few games himself. It's too early to make these strong predictions about Young and Cutler. Neither one has played in a regular season game. The Colts will make the playoffs, and I hope Peyton can finally get the monkey off his back and win a SB, but without Edge, it will be difficult. The Lions are a sleeper this year with Martz running the offense.If I wasn't such a huge Saints fan, I would be driving the Cardinals bandwagon. Green is doing a great job with a team who has been bad for a long time. I will be pulling for the Cardinals all season.

i do know this much... vick, although it won't be said, is really on the hot seat this year.... shaub is really becoming a good, reliable qb and will push for playing time esp. if the falcons start sluggish this year due to vick's inability be the passing qb the falcons will need him to be...

I've said it before, M. Vick is the most overrated QB in the NFL, I for one will not draft him in my draft which is coming up in two weeks.
Vick did OK in running the ball at one time but defenses have figured him out, we all know he's not much of a passer so I see a really long season for Vick.
I agree, DO NOT DRAFT VICK IN YOUR DRAFT.. (Garbage)

"Brooks is O-V-E-R"

It's so over for Brooks, he'll lose his starting position by week 3

If Shaub was to be named the starter going into week one then we would have something to worry about but not with Vick, I hope Vick remains the starter for the whole year..

brooks won't enter the season as the starter if walters can have some decent reps with the first string in the next 2 preseason games.... at least for the raiders, i hope shell can figure it out before too long.... hell, with that cast of characters, i'd give ronald curry (he played qb at unc) a try at qb right now...

spkb25 · 08-19-2006, 08:50 PM

vick has never done anything as a qb and won't again this year. what do the falcons do when they can't sign shaub when his contract ends. the guy will be a good starter in this league and i can't imagine him wanting to continue playing second fiddle to a guy he is better then. i don't even understand why vick is still starting except he is exciting and sells out the stadium. it sure isn't a good football move. oh and to the guy that said their d was going to be very good, didn't they just have the ball ran down their throat against new england. wasn't that their problem last year too. the best team in our duivision is the panthers. after them i will take the bucs if caddy is healthy. i don't think the falcons will make the playoffs.
