Thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Anthony!

I see Pittsburgh at...0

I take that as an early indicator that they will win it all next season.

Just a hunch.

Kansas City's situation is worse than even those numbers suggest, as the Chiefs played like what, half their whole schedule against backup quarterbacks in 2013?

And before anyone in Houston starts making playoff plans, remember that only one team in NFL history has ever made the playoffs both the year before and the year after a season in which they won three or fewer games - and that team drafted Andrew Luck (the Texans might be dumb enough to draft the new Ty Detmer).

Skip Bayless says J. Manziel will not only be a good NFL QB, but will be the next HUGE star in the NFL.

Thinks he will be a GREAT player.


You don't agree?

Not having Josh Gordon - as now seems likely - to throw to sure won't help.

That's true.

I think Manziel can play and do reasonably well as an NFLer.

He's smart, he's got big hands, he's got heart...

My main concern with him is, can he keep his body in one piece?
He got hurt in college.

What's going to happen now that he's playing against even bigger, faster, and more violent dudes?

I fear he might get broken.

Will be interesting to watch.

Something tells me he'll be another Tebow.

He throws the ball a lot better than Tebow.
No comparison in that regard.

Both of them did big damage with their legs in college, so they have that in common.

Tebow was hitched to the read-option, but Manziel is not.
Manziel is more of a scrambler.

I see him as sort of a modern version of Roger Staubach -- but a bit shorter.
