I would say the majority of the season. Did you see the say Philthy game or Houston just to name a few. Joe fr the majority of the season was bi-poler in his play last yr.
Ben has proven to win SB's bith an * of course. Take away certain talent around Joe and he wont make the playoffs. It is the ultimate team sport so evaluation of a single player is difficult.
Why is that? Until he can string a season together like he played in the post season then I think it is quite apropriate. I do think Cam held him back. The question is how much and now he needs to prove to be past that and he will jump up.
I think the Dolts are the only ones that could be out in the afc. Not sure who will step in though. Washington and Minny I think are out. The Saints will be coming this yr. I would also think the Giants get in too.
