I want the quarterback who plays the best game in the Superbowl to win, and if that's Cam Newton or Peyton Manning, I'm fine with either.

They, and especially Cam, have played great football all year. IF he showboats a bit, he's earned it this year. Personally I'd rather him win it than Tom Brady again or have Peyton stink it up like he did in 06 and have his defense bail him out

To me it all depends on Apocalypse and how his character is portrayed. All of the best comic-based moves have a great villan IMO, like Winter Soldier, Joker in the Dark Knight, Gene Hackman's Lex Luthor, Ronin, etc. Apocalypse is supposed to be an intelligent, superpowerful mutant with zero conscience. He's inherently not evil, he just doesn't care. He needs to be more like the Tom Hardy "I have depth" Bane and not the Jeep Swenson farce from Batman and Robin.

A lot of the draft will depend on whether we resign KO and the FOs feeling on Monroe. If they don't see Eugene in our long-term plans, I think LT is the way they will go if Stanley is on the board. They like drafting o and d line in the first round.

I wonder if a part of it was Jim's grind-it style - if the physical and mental strain of his coaching made it easier for these guys to consider walking away. It seems strange all these guys from the same team walking away at basically the same time - although I believe Anthony Davis said he eventually planned to come back.

100 million easily from Seattle, though I bet a desperate team will throw more at him if they get the chance.

I like it - we have a good kicker, so anything that makes kicking the ball that much more challenging plays into our favor.

It would have been nice to do. I'm also still a little worried about not addressing the secondary up to this point - a lot of our guys are coming off injuries and I'm still of the opinion that we would have beaten the Patriots in the playoffs with a healthy secondary.

Should be used to this by now - if we extend a guy, people complain that we overspent. If we let a guy go, people complain we were too cheap and we're never going to replace him.

That's not a Favre - what you need to do is retire again, then unretire next week and demand your moderator job back - and you have to tell them if you don't get it back, you'll go to the Steelers, become one of their moderators, and take your revenge on us.

Which one is a top 10 talent at a position where we have a ton of question marks - only Peters. Gordon is the only one at that talent level, and we already have a starting RB signed. Right now, one starting corner is on IR and the other was a wreck for most of last year.

He's one of those guys I'm hoping we snatch with a mid round pick. He's got a tremendous upside IMO, and he seems like a great guy to have in the locker room to boot.

Point being yes Ngata was expensive, but I don't think they would have moved him had they thought the other guys wouldn't fill his void.

It would certainly surprise me considering he shipped Ngata out while under contract after drafting Williams and Jernigan and the pickup of Lawrence Guy - all three of those guys are 27 years old or younger.

@ Polynesian getting separation isn't everything. Alshon Jeffrey struggles to separate but is able to outjump and outmuscle defenders for the ball and picks up a good amount of YAC for a speed deficient player. I'm not saying Strong will have that much success because it's impossible to project, but his comparibles that have made it are guys like Alshon Jeffrey and Marques Colston, speed deficient guys that have made a living in the slot and finding ways to make YAC.

Why not just move back into the second and take him, and gain picks while doing it?

If we could move up without giving up more than a third and a 5th, maybe. I don't think we'll risk the second round pick unless it's Amari Cooper, and even then I don't know if they'll do that.

Why feel sorry for Torrey? He has a ring, he has money in the bank, he's re-united with Q, and IMO most Ravens fans have no hard feelings over him leaving for that big of a contract. The 49ers may be bad this year, but there's always next year. I think he's perfectly happy in San Francisco.

Currently we have 20 million in dead cap - 15 million of that is Rice and Ngata, which would have been worse had we outright cut him.

For one, Ngata was not worth the contract, and the cap hit was simply unrealistic for what he was giving us, especially given we have guys on the roster that are playing well in his spot. Number 2, we needed cap room to possibly sign some of our current FAs and/or extend deals of guys who will be FAs n 2016. 3, you always need cap space for injuries, street signings, and drafted players. 4, Rice's dead money was already an albatross that we couldn't escape from.

Not pounding the table for him, but the idea that he's done because of poor numbers in Minnesota may not be true - look at SSS, when we signed him last year half the board said we'd just signed a washed up 35 year old who was a waste of a roster spot. Sometimes just going to a better QB and having a starter across from you who is respected by defenses can make a major difference.

Jealous. I only have my back done - hospitals frown on ink you can see past half sleeves.

At Flex, Im saying I'm sick and tired of signing 30+ y/o vets at the receiver and TE position only to have to look for somebody new 3 years later. It's past time we find a guy that can be here with Joe until the end of his career.

He's not a bad player, but it's far passed time the FO went out and drafted a young stud receiver that will be here until Joe finishes out his career.
