And maybe just don't throw him the ball in the final 2 minutes of the 4th quarter of a playoff game when we need to score go-ahead points. But,that said, he won't make the same mistake twice I bet.

He has a stronger arm than Aaron Rodgers did coming out of Cal. Watch the bowl game against Oregon - he can fling it just fine.

Quality hire. Broncos players like Champ Bailey and Brian Dawkins fought for the guy before he was fired after one bad season. Worked with McDaniels... maybe he brings some Belichickian voodoo magic with him.

I hope DeCosta knows he may be playing second fiddle for the next 5-7 years...

Why do you say that? The guy will win rookie of the year by a landslide.

A 4th for Evans. He didn't want to wait until April to start costing us.

One of those guys... McClain, Ellerbe, Kruger, Ayanbadejo, McPhee? or one of the other guys... one of them will be able to fill in for JJ, and we'll likely draft a guy or two as well - and likely one in the first two rounds. As much as we've struggled to find WR's, one place we haven't struggled is finding hardnosed linebackers to play next to Ray. From Sharper and Boulware to Hartwell and Scott, to Adalius Thomas and JJ... one position that we've consistently gotten success from have been the LB's. Either we'll draft some guys, or grow some of our own. I wouldn't worry about that one.

Where's Kuechly?

Forget QB coach... We should have offered him our starting quarterback job.

Plus, Peyton manning loves Caldwell. Talk about an endorsement... If Peyton wanted to keep working with him, you know he must have been helping Manning grow. manning wouldn't surround himself with people who didn't help him improve his game - the guy is a perfectionist and successful people surround themselves with successful people.

Worst analysis ever.

I hope Torrey is great - I love his ability - but Green is one of the best receiving prospects of the last decade. The guy is a Calvin Johnson type who can go up over two guys and pull it in. The difference is, we got torrey way cheaper, and for a second round pick. Still the best young guy we've ever had.

The only Raven I heard say anything negative about Cundiff was Cundiff. I guarantee you that Suggs would say Harbaugh should have called the timeout, if he was being honest. He came just short of saying it on First Take when he was talking about the "confusion" before the play. But of course no player would ever say anything negative about a coach - they know all about the Harbaugh doghouse.

Plus there was that guy who fell down two flights of stairs... he could have been a contender!

Have you been following any of this? Basing your opinion on the results ONLY is what you are doing. Who said the team didn't have a great year? They were 7-0 against playoff teams going into the Pats game. I'm saying, despite the results, there are still areas in which we could improve. We had one of the best seasons in our history this year, and three key errors at critical points kept us out of the Super Bowl. (Evans drop, pre-kick confusion without timeout, and missed 32-yard FG) Evans is to blame, Harbaugh is to blame, and Cundiff is definitely to blame. Btw - how DARE you question another person's fanhood. You're the worst kind of human being, definitively, without question - and I only just heard of you 30 seconds ago.

I saw Garcon getting open pretty well with Painter at QB...he just couldn't hit him. I'd take Garcon too.

Dickson isn't THAT bad... Pitta is definitely more reliable, but Dickson made several great catches in the last few games, including a big one against Cinci where he took a heck of a shot and held onto the ball... the guy just needs to refine his skills and he has the physical tools to get open at will a la Gronk.

Denver, the team that won their division and beat the Steelers with their "4th string QB" after they pulled their starter? The Dolphins who plugged in a journeyman, Matt Moore, and won 6 of their final 9 games with a deadbeat coach? And the Bills are just awful. The Eagles replaced McNabb twice in one year and got better. Favre was replaced by Rogers and they got better. Vick was replaced by Ryan. Brees was replaced by Rivers. The Steelers won 3 of 4 with Batch when Roethlisberger was out with a raping. Brady replaced Bledsoe and the team improved, then Brady was replaced by Cassel, and will be replaced by Mallett. Manning will be replaced by Luck. A team shouldn't drop 10 games just because of one guy, no matter what position.

Haven't you listened to generic, uninformed pundit commentary about our defense in the last 3 years? We're really old on defense. (translation: Ray Lewis is old, and he's the only guy we know)

I was definitely worried about the kick - and that was without knowing Cundiff had been "confused" as to the down situation. Cundiff has been shaky this year, and it was Harbaughs job to calm him down. But it was a big moment, and he was probably still thinking about the Evans play and took the FG for granted.

There's always UDFA. Remember, we're not talking about starters here...

Again... was joke.

What does Carr make?

I bet Webb wants to stay with the Ravens. Give him Foxworth's paycheck. Smith and Webb will be the starters for the next 5 years. We don't have to overpay Williams to be the 3rd guy.

Hey, his completion percentage was better than Tebow's... by a little.
