  1. I don't think Theo can productively fill his day only plotting strategy about how to negotiate with the Pujolses of the world and figuring out how to trade for the aces that come along every so often.

  3. I never said there wasn't a threshold where it would be worth it. If Palmer plays amazing and the Raiders win the Super Bowl, then the trade looks great. But that's the same thing as saying if Soriano comes close to replicating his 2006 season on average over the entirety of his contract, that the $136M will be worth it. Yes it's possible. But that doesn't mean it's very likely. We could get into a long, tiresome discussion about why that Soriano analogy isn't the same thing but let's not. I was thinking more along the lines of if Palmer gives you 75% of what Rich Gannon did then you're probably at least breaking even on the trade.
  4. It's possible for a quarterback to play well enough to justify giving up that much. Now Palmer probably won't but it's not like there isn't a certain threshold that exists where it would've been worth it.
  5. Well, you're ignoring Landry Jones this year and Tyler Bray and Aaron Murray next year. Whether or not Palmer was elite a few years ago matters not now. The Raiders aren't getting Palmer from his heyday and even if they captured lightning in a bottle with him, they significantly overpaid. Landry Jones isn't going to do dick in the NFL
  6. Palmer's still a QB though and I'm still astonished he netted 2 first rounders. The Raiders are the only team that makes that deal. No way is Forte's trade value that high.
  7. Forte's gotten way more valuable since he decided to shoot horse steroids and break tackles. He never, ever used to be able to break arm tackles and now he's running through them with ease and stiff arming like crazy. His jump cut is one of the best in the league now too Of course I would deal him in a heart beat for 2 #1s.
  8. Moss holds the single season TD reception record--24 I think with the Pats in 2007
  9. BTW what do southern cal fans really think of Kiffin? Is he a long-term answer or a stop gap to get thru the tough suspension period? Apathy. He can recruit and scheme offensively pretty well but it's kind of off putting to watch your head coach just stare at his call sheet all game instead of actually talking to his players. He has the reputation as a sour puss and his way to compensate for that is to do wacky two point conversions and have the center try to throw for first downs.
  10. Yeah behind CP3. Lame.
  11. Yeah, that would've been nice. I was just happy that Knox actually played defense when he needed to. Last year that would've been a pick in the end zone.
  12. If we're going to only send out a couple of guys out in patterns to help protect we could really use a stud out wide that can win battles in traffic. I mean we could use that anyway but I'd be all for getting Marshall and leaving extra men in protection.
  13. Harbaugh is a [expletive] weirdo. If you watched the end of the game live there was at least 15 seconds of him untucking his shirt and doing some sort of dry heave set to music on the sidelines before he ran out to midfield to do that weird handshake to Schwartz. Good coach though.
  14. This is probably the most even SC and ND have been on paper since the late 80s. Looking forward to it. This is our bowl game, pretty much.
  15. Here's to hoping Marshall does something really dumb tonight to get tossed and gets his price down

  17. Robbie with the nice 3/4 quarters swing 7 iron to get the 51 yarder.
  18. Forte is probably some kind of steroid cheat.
  19. lol harbaugh
  20. Peyton is so good on TV
