Well I think there are alot of questions this year for many teams. Tampa Bay for example has alot of questions at the QB position. Sure they have Garcia, who is a vetran, but with Simms still not up to par and frankly Rattay an Gradkowski under performing they better hope Garcia stays healthy.

LMAO...I was campaigning wasn't I? But still it's all about the Saints this year for me^^...
Yeah Jamie Martin scares the hell outta me..I want Tyler Palko to be the back-up more than him...but if Simms becomes availible as much as I've hated him in the past, he'd be a needed back-up here...

Well as of recent Gruden has said that he hopes that Simms gets well to become the backup, because Gradkowski hasn't been playing as well as he hoped...Right now I don't think Simms has to worry, but it may become an issue in the next couple of preseason games.
Apparently alot of teams seemed interested in Simms including the Bills. I think the no campaigning rule is kind of pointless...truthfully if you talk about your team or any other team it will come off as sounding campaign like... |

JaMarcus Russell still hasn't signed his contract with the raiders, i wonder when we'll finally see if this guy was worth the number 1 pick.
I'm from Houston and i still have yet to get over the fact we drafted Mario Williams instead of Bush or Young(who would've also sold tickets) with faith in Carr last season, only to later ditch him this off-season for Schaub. But no point in crying over spilled milk, I'll be rooting for the Texans this season to finally make the playoffs! |

Now, if you made a post which had a decent paragraph worth of comment along with the lines Go 49ers!!! We're taking it this year!! then it would be acceptable since you at least made the effort to state something more than just a victory chant. The rule doesn't mean you can't express your hopes and opinion for your team, just add some actual content to your post |

I know this is a couple days old, but DUDE WTF why the hell did the Eagles cut Trotter?!??!?! I know they have Omar Gaither, TKO, and Gocong, but WHY? 4 time pro bowler, hes not even that old yet...Hes 30, Mcnabbs almost 30 too. Any other Eagles fans out there got an answer for me?
I just hope he doesn't get picked up by Dallas, or anybody in our division... |

Anyone who comes to the Patriots and doesn't know by now that they consider everybody expendible hasn't been paying attention. (Well, maybe not Brady, but even there you never know.) Deion Branch is a good case in point. I was pretty impressed with Samuel's performance last season and am glad he's chosen to return. I just hope he plays at the same level and doesn't spend all season thinking how unappreciated he is.

Well Samuels is a key player and unlike Pats players from years past he indeed seems to be less expendable...His ability to recognize route combinations is perhaps his most elegant skill...No one in the NFL disguises man-zone coverages aswell as Asante Samuel (Jumps out-routes like it's second nature)...He's easily top 5-10 corner in the league..I can't blame him, he tried to holdout for more money and he didn't have to go to training camp (Which most veterans hate and know how to prepare for the reg. season without)...He was gonna get a huge pay day anyways as a franchise player, so it really wasn't a win-lose scenerio as much as it was a win-really win...So he just won, and next year he'll really win and command an even bigger payday...
New England's roster is so unfair right now T_T ...

The Patriots are the best organization about maximizing efficiency between cost and risk. Lots of teams will take on risk for reward, lots of teams manage cost well. Few teams manage to do both succesfully for any length of time. The second Brady's cost exceeds his potential value to the Patriots, he'll be gone. They are the model of how a long-term succesful NFL organization should be run. Anyway, I'm a huge Broncos fan. I'm a little concerned about our new defense, and I keep telling myself it simply looks worse in preseason because no actual gameplan has been installed. Cutler seems erratic at QB, but I'm hoping that he'll work himself out of that as the year goes on because otherwise we seem fairly well off on offense.
