This system is money for QB's. If I'm Foles, I'm signing for whatever Kelly wants to offer

But the point of the system (at least I think this is the point of the system) is to run something that can be successful and doesn't require a $10M+ a year QB to run it. I've talked before about how I think this is a smart thing to do in today's NFL; basically run a read/option system where you draft a 22 year old kid to run it for the four years of his rookie contract at $1M to $3M a year and once he's done with his rookie contract and wants $10M+ a year, you just don't resign him but instead draft some other 22 year old kid to run the system. Build your team around that (6'1" 210lb no name inexpensive WR that are good blockers and will catch a ball when they're wide open, which is what read/option creates for their WR, etc etc) and I think you could be really successful.

But the entire point is to not pay your QB and to not be beholden to drafting and taking three years to develop a drop back passer type QB. So does Philly want to keep Nic? Sure. If he wants to stay around for $4M a year. If Nic isn't interested (and he shouldn't be at that price), Philly moves onto the next guy.

To thank their fans for helping them get one million Twitter followers before any other NFL team, the New England Patriots opted to give out custom avatars for anyone who retweeted this stupid tweet:

You know when you think you're just going about your job and then you're instantly fired?

Yup.

Roger Goodell is such a fuckin' joke of a commissioner and coward.

I'm completely fine taking a hard stance on Peterson, but doing it like this, to such an extent, less than six months after you gave Rice 2 games for knocking his fiancé clean out is so disingenuous, ballsy, and hypocritical, more over, it thumbs its nose at the new legal process of punishment where Goodell's lack of judgment isn't the final word, shouting a loud "Fuck You" to the aribitrator.

Goodell's own new "standard" was 6 games. He's already been out 9. Do how is a minimum of 6 more legal?

Goodell sucks as much as Peterson.

Just to send a fuck you back at Goodell, I'd love to see the arbitrators ruling void any and all future attempts to punish Peterson based upon clear cut evidence of Goodell not having the necessary judgment, consistent track record, and understanding of situational awareness.

Let the Vikings punish him more, if they deem it.

Goodell just over-extended his reach after swearing on live TV he'd be letting other, smarter entities to hear, ponder, and determine thus type of punishment going forward.

Just wish the Vikings had made this decision instead of Goodell.

Are the Raiders going to actually win a game?

One play to win the game and the Raiders get 3 penalties on one play.

And then they have to call a timeout because they were celebrating and offsides on 3rd down.

"I threw him out of the club"

I wish the Bears could play the worst teams in the league every week.

screw you Bears.

being outscored 31-3 after the first quarter...shameful.

I apologize for my ignorance, having been completely out of the USA sports/NFL loop since 2007, but what about Calvin Johnson breaking 10,000 yards in 115 games? I haven't actually seen this guy play, is he really looking like the greatest receiver ever in the NFL?

The rules about how and when you can touch a WR and QB are so favorable to the offense now that I don't know that you can really measure one era against another.

Bears attendance 50,247.
No-shows 10,749.

100+million dollar qb 3ints.
Coach clueless, running ball down 2 scores with 4 minutes to go.

sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

For POM and my other fellow suffering Bears fans:

The Jimmy Clausen era is about to begin in Chicago!

Cutler has been benched.

So they're going to pay him all that money to suck giant donkey balls on the sideline?

Giving him that contract is the dumbest thing the Bears have done since giving The Fridge a Super Bowl TD carry instead of Walter Payton.

I don't think so, well at least not beyond this season. There's no way the bears will just eat all that money. Cutler is back as the starter after this season is over, no matter who the coach will be next year.

agreed.

The boo birds sure are out in force in Chicago. ha ha

Bears fire Trestman and GM Emery. One of my relatives in Chicago posted something that they might be hiring Shanahan?

Falcons fire Mike Smith.

Good, they needed to go.

Unfortunately, the Bears have failed to go far enough with the firings. As usual, they make a blunder and keep ted phillips around. I don't know what pictures he has of george mccaskey but for some reason ted phillips is the teflon man and all the shit he's put the bears through just won't leave a stink on him, as far as the mccaskeys are concerned.

Sigh.....

What's with all these NFL teams going into the post-season with their starting quarterbacks and their backup quarterbacks?

John Fox, and rest of coaching staff, out in Denver.

Interesting.

This has San Diego/Marty Schottenheimer written all over it.

Thanks AJ Smith!

"Yes you should definitely bring in Gary Kubiak to replace 12-4 John Fox. Strong move. Ignore his Norv Turneresque 61-64 lifetime record. He will be great."

These are great.

well that was a stupid last playcall from pete carrol and the seahawks.

you get cute with a pick play for a pass? instead of running it in from the 1 on 2nd down?

morons.

No reason to not run lynch there
