    I'm inclined to agree with you on both counts, although I think Arizona will be going for a QB early this year too. Next year, Tajh Boyd will be in the draft and Bridgewater may leave Louisville early if he has another good year, both good passing mobile QBs. I don't think either is the next Cam Newton or RG3, but what a difference a year makes, as you said.

    And that's the reason I don't even want to see Seattle advance any in the playoffs, because they didn't even deserve to be there. I was going to be extremely, extremely angry if they pulled out the win in the NFC West.

    Yep, and who knows? There could be a later round Tom Brady type in this years class, or a QB passed over until late 1st - early 2nd who gets P.O'd enough to set out to prove people wrong like Big Ben and Rodgers did. But right now, there's not really a whole lot of standouts at any position to me in this year's draft class.

    Mel Kiper now has Mike Glennon as his top-rated QB. I hope we don't mess with that in KC. The guy is huge at like 6'7", but I got to see a few NC State games this year, and he just reeks Blaine Gabbert, Matt Leinart, and so on..big dudes with good-to-medium velocity who aren't mobile enough to get away from faster pass rush and not accurate enough to make up for it.

    Also, he's careless with the ball- 17 picks, 4 games with 2 or more and had 4 against my Vols and their horrific defense. No thank you.

    Well the good thing solojones is the Seahawks have to get past the 'skins first before any GB/Seattle rematch has even the remotest chance of happening.

    Hail to the Redskins!!!!

    Edit: heels1785: Kiper has been misfiring for a good number of years now. I don't even think he had RGIII on his boards until the Redskins moved up to take #2 in the Draft (I could be wrong, it has been a full year), so, yeah, hopefully Kiper's wrong this time.

    Exactly. As Russell Wilson and many others have proven, if the right skill set gets paired up with the right coach at the right time, big things can happen. Bridgewater is a high-character guy with the same kind of story as Wilson, he's had to fight for everything he's gotten. I'm high on his chances if he stays healthy, I think Charlie Strong's decision to stick around will really inspire that group.

    All depends on the coaching/GM carosel this year and next.

    Aaron Rodgers, with a full complement of receivers, at home, for a Seahawks revenge game? I would probably enjoy that as well, yes.

    You already have a Minnesota superhero.

    Oh God, no. He's awful. I feel like you could seriously just give a football to any tall guy and he'd be just as good/bad. Sounds like a pick that Oakland would make.

    Well, technically, they do deserve to be there. Even if Green Bay had the win instead of the Seahawks, the Hawks would be the exact same seed in the playoffs. The only effect on the playoffs from that game is that Green Bay lost the #2 seed.

    EDIT: Lloyd, your image is broken, so here's a real Minnesota superhero in action:

    Ah I couldn't remember how that broke down. Still, losing that seed over that sucks. I was mostly just concerned about the NFC West title and was getting nervous there near the end.

    Yeah, well, hopefully my Pack beats your Niners and there ends up definitely being no difference. :p

    I think a lot of that depends on whether our defense actually shows up or not. They've been worrying me in December after a stellar season...

    Mel Kiper also said that Jay Cutler was going to be a bust compared to Vince Young and Matt Leinart.

    Todd McShay passed Kiper a long, long time ago in draft analysis.

    Dear Colts - try not to let someone take Arians away from you. Apparently we need him.

    And that's the ballgame. Tip of the hat to the Colts. Heck of a season.

    At least I can fit in at work this week and root for the Broncos to beat the RatBirds.
