I'm pleasantly surprised at the Children of Men responses. That was the first thing that popped into my mind.

Craigslist is fine if you're smart about using it. I've never had any trouble with counterfeit bills or anything and as long as you're meeting in a public place, it should be fine.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="frostybanana"][QUOTE="rawsavon"] You have to give him a chance to develop. Bradford, Ryan, and Flaco f***ed up the curve so to speak. Before that, these things were expected. Aikman won one game his first year. I did not think he was a damn coming out of college. But he has been better than I ever thought. We will see in the next couple years though

You think so? I'll submit, Sanchez exceeded my expectations too. When it comes to playoff performance. But I'm still not sold on him for one big reason. He is terribly inaccurate and at the most has MODEST arm strength. And while he should have a learning curve factored in, I don't think he will get much better to be perfectly honest. I also don't think it's fair to give Sanchez so much credit when he has arguably one of the best defenses in the league along with a very solid running game carrying his team. The hype he gets is unfair when he is, at most, a bottom tier QB as you would say. Now, I'm not saying he doesn't deserve a chance, he is their franchise QB. But personally, I don't see him becoming great like Freeman, Flacco or Ryan has in recent years. In fact, I would go as far to say he was the worst QB in that draft behind Freeman and Stafford (Yes, Stafford hasn't played enough, but his physical tools and potential put him over a guy like Sanchez to me because Sanchez's flaws are glaring.)

Cowherd splits the QB's into tiers of 6. He puts Sanchez in the 3rd group...'C' range. I agree with that statement. His arm strength is a concern. But Pennington did alright with worse arm strength. I agree that Freeman (surprisingly IMO) is a better QB prospect. I watched him at K State and did not see him do s*** (where I would think he could play in the pros). Like I told Sonic, there are only a few great QB's in the world. When you draft, the best you can realistically hope for is 'good'. He might be good and he might be average. If he turns out to be good, then the Jets can win it all with that D...if not, then good luck. But at least give him a couple more years development time

Pennington's accuracy made up for his arm strength. The issue is modest arm strength AND inaccuracy. You're right, he deserves a little more time to develop. But I don't see him improving his accuracy to a point where it'll make up for his arm strength, he's pretty far behind in his development in that aspect, in my opinion. We'll see how good he gets, but at this point I would say he's overhyped.

Flacco is ok, but I still dont think he is a great QB.

Flacco is fine. He hasn't even hit his prime yet and he's putting up the numbers. A guy from Delaware, who should have a HIGH learning curve doing as well as him is unprecedented. And we haven't even scratched the surface of his potential yet.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"][QUOTE="frostybanana"][QUOTE="rawsavon"]Jets added Plaxico: 1 year 3 mill Good signing IMO. Would have tried for a 2 year deal in case he can still play (as you can cut a player at any time)

They can add all the WRs they want, it isn't going to make Sanchez any better.

Hard to say. Extremis was pretty damn good. The Blackest Night is definitely the best thing I've read over the last few years.

[QUOTE="rawsavon"] McNabb is bottom Tier right now...15 QB's better than him. You are telling me all his accomplishments. You know what those mean now?...nothing. Aikman had better accomplishments. Favre did. Elway did. I sure as hell don't want them leading my team now. Donovan's career completion % is under 60% (TERRIBLE)...last 3 years 58%, 60%, 60% You say he is good with good WR's...he had better in Washington than what Minnesota has in Harvin and your new #1 in Michael Jenkins (who sucked with Roddy White taking pressure off him). I hope that rookie can play b/c McNabb always misses games. Games played since 2005 (9, 10, 14, 16, 14, 13) He was good when the rules were different and he could run He can no longer run His accuracy is worse His arm strength is diminished (see all the 1 hopper passes last year) He is old He is fat McNabb is no longer a good QB Father Time is undefeated

Actually, McNabb doesn't NEED good WRs to be good. He excelled with the likes of Todd Pinkston and James Thrash. But put that aside. I don't think McNabb has run out of gas just yet. While his performance from last year wasn't great, he was a victim of some of the worst coaching, gameplanning and whatnot that I've ever seen. Kyle Shanahan runs a system where he makes his QB make the deep reads first, the medium reads second and the short reads last REGARDLESS of the situation. Normally, the QB does this based on what the defense is doing. Shanahan basically refused to allow him to run screen passes and check downs to loosen the defense up. McNabb looked a LOT worse than he actually is last season. McNabb still has a gun. He has some terrific rockets last season. And he can still make plays on his feet. It's a given that he isn't what he was 5 years ago. But he has gas left in the tank.

[QUOTE="frostybanana"][QUOTE="DroidPhysX"] Surefire Hall of Famer? :? I'm not so sure. He hasn't exactly surpassed any records or excelled in the playoffs.DroidPhysX

5 NFC Championships and a Super Bowl appearance is nothing to sneeze at in terms of playoff performance.

It is when you seee that he went 1-4 in NFC championship games...

So? How many QBs have made to 5 NFC Championships in the first place? McNabb should shoulder blame as ANYONE on the team should. But their losses are just as much an issue of questionable coaching in critical situations and underperformance on all three phases of the game. McNabb got his team to those games, that shouldn't be erased.
