Atleast it's not us post fight edition

You know how this works so here it goes!

1. The Denver Broncos savior is winning games. While completing less than 5 passes. No one has mentioned Oakland and KC have trouble stopping the run. The one thing Tebow can do. With a broken finger and everything else that went wrong Stafford still had a beter QB rating than Denver did last week.

2. HEY, how about that Cam Newton. Our opponent this week is putting up spectacular numbers. Might even win rookie of the year...To bad spite all his numbers they are 2-6. Rookie of the year should come down to Julio,Dalton and Green on offense I belive. Unless the Panthers can win out....And well 2-6.

3 Recently a poll came out with the most overrated players in the NFL came out. If you didn't know the top 3 player were Tebow,Sanchez and Romo. As if that should shock anyone.

4. We all know Shaun Hill are backup QB right. Well I'll give you another reason to remember him. Matt Schaubs year seems to be over. Matt Lienart is stepping in to start. And the winless Colts are looking to turn to our buddy Dan Orlovsky. That should end badly. On the plus side Andrew Luck will learn from the best in the biz. Just goes to show you always need a backup QB. Favre can't replace everyone!

5. Desean Jackson wasn't even allowed at the game sunday after missing a morning meeting. He claimed his alarm didn't go off. Warren Sapp adimited missing those meetings and only being fined. Tells me there is much more to this than that. Desean Jackson makes less money than they eagles long snapper. You figure it out. Cliff Avril has yet to be paid...and not a peep from the Boilermaker so far. Or Matt forte either called being a pro. Something people questioned about Desean coming out of Cal.

6. Chris Johnson FINALLY had a game over 100 yards this week. Also scored a TD for the Titans. Guess when the discussion about the star running back actually getting cut comes around. Time to play your ass off.

8. Mark Sanchez made the dumbest call in NFL history when he called a time out. It's not just my opinon it's also the opinion of his head coach Rex Ryan..Who in the same game cussed out a fan in the stands. Yup ladies and gentleman Rex Ryan is first class.

9. Anybody see David Nelson hug his girlfriend on the sideling of the cowboys game? How is that contreversial? Did you see her? I think most of us had more than a hug on our minds but maybe it's just me.

10. Kevin Kolb the franchise QB that everyone wanted in the off season. Yeah he's being out played by John Skelton as he recovers from an injury. Far be it from me to write the guy off already BUT I think you can easily agree Philly did win atleast something this year...Mayhew of the season award.

Just want to take a quick second in this post to say how happy I am that Mickey Redmond was inducted into the NHL Hall Of Fame. Who in my opinion is the best broadcaster in Detroit sports right now. Mickey makes RedWings games so much better than any other broadcaster. I think he was well deserved of this honor and a former player whos career was sadly cut short. Mickey wasn't to shabby on the ice either. So congrats to Redmond on a well deserved honor.

ehh I don't know about the "Mayhew of the season award"

the Carson Palmer trade is a very possible candidate…

My grandfather was a Packers fan, my father is a Vikings fan, I am a Lions fan, and there is no way in hell I am raising a Bears fan.
Oh, and I hate the Philadelphia Eagles (but like the Phillies)

Ok

Mayhew Award for the offseason.

Also, I think that Cam will be rookie of the year despite their far from steller record. His numbers are so big the voters will overlook the fact he didn’t help their record a whole lot.

Julio, Dalton, and Green

Have no business AT ALL winning the ROTY over Newton. It’s not even close.

by JWurm on Nov 16, 2011 11:12 AM EST reply actions

Pointing to record is useless

This is a team sport. Cam Newton got drafted to the worst team last year. Julio got drafted to a playoff team. Huge difference there.

just your opinion

Cam has more weapons than Dalton does in my opinon plus he is in a much tougher divison. Stats alone won’t win him rookie of the year.

the Bengals were still bad enough to get the 4th overall pick last year..

and dalton does it with a much more depleted running game than newton does. Record isn’t completely useless, but it’s definitely worth a look and with Dalton and Green, the Bengals are in the playoff hunt in perhaps the toughest division in the NFL.

I think record is much more relevant

Its funny

that people don’t think Dalton deserves the OROY. He’s won three times as many games for the Bengals as Newton has for the Panthers, and its not like Dalton’s “numbers” are crap either. 14 touchdowns to 9 picks for Dalton with a 82.9 rating. Cam Newton has actualy passed for three less touchdowns while throwing one more pick, while throwing 40 more passes. He’s scored more touchdowns through the ground and passed for a ton of yardage, but he also has a veteran pro bowl wideout, a pair of solid tight ends and runningbacks, while Dalton’s best weapon is fellow rookie. For me, its not even a question.

You can argue the numbers

But thinking that Dalton’s won three times as many games is just foolhardy. Cincinatti’s special teams and defense is miles above Carolina’s.

Cinci’s fourth in non-offensive touchdowns per game. Carolina still hasn’t had a single non-offensive TD all season. Cedric Benson has been having a better year than any of Carolina’s running backs, Cam and Dalton both have the same INT%, Cam has gained four more touchdowns (do running TDs not count?), and has nearly 800 more yards (including a far higher YPA/YPC), they have the same completion percentage… all things being equal, I’m taking Cam. He makes his offense better than Dalton makes his, and he makes his team better than Dalton (who by all account has a GREAT defense to work with) does.

but it's not about "all things equal"

If it was, we would give the Super Bowl trophy to the team would produce the most if all things were equal, not the one that won the last game of the season. For a quarterback, its wins first, then stats. The fact is that Andy Dalton’s team, granted with a better defense, has won three times as many games. That doesn’t imply he’s three times the quarterback, it implies he—and his team— has accomplished three times as much as Cam Newton.

Now, if the facts were that the Bengals were 6-3 while Dalton was having a crappy season, then you could make the argument that it was simply the defense that was carrying the team, but that is not the case. The Bengals offense ranks 14th in the NFL, and Andy Dalton has been a gigantic part of that. It’s not about flashy number; its about getting the job done, and Andy Dalton has gotten the job done.
