It's that time again. Time for a good, hard look around the league, quickly analyzing all the options remaining for a big-name free agent. This time around, it's Terrell Owens. Again. We scoured over all the options last year when Owens was released by the Cowboys, and virtually nobody thought of the ... Continue Reading

Under NFL Tags: Adrian Peterson, Bill Belichick, Chester Taylor, Detroit Lions, Drew Brees, Fred Taylor, Julius Jones, Justin Forsett, Kevin Smith, Laurence Maroney, Minnesota Vikings, New England Patriots, New Orleans Saints, Reggie Bush, San Diego Chargers, Seattle Seahawks

After a long, brilliant career in San Diego, where LaDainian Tomlinson wrote the Chargers rushing record book in a fashion that may never be duplicated, the future Hall of Famer was finally released. The fact is, LT and the Chargers were dancing around his age, declining play, and contract for the ... Continue Reading

2010 NFL Free Agency: Top 10 Quarterbacks

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, February 18th 2010. Under NFL Tags: 2010 NFL Draft, Buffalo Bills, Carolina Panthers, Chad Pennington, Charlie Batch, Daunte Culpepper, Denver Broncos, Detroit Lions, J.P. Losman, Jeff Garcia, Kyle Boller, Miami Dolphins, Oakland Raiders, Pittsburgh Steelers, Rex Grossman, St. Louis Rams, Washington Redskins

The NFL has 32 teams, and of those teams, there are 23 of them that have a bonafide elite starter or a young passer that is deemed the "franchise passer", at least for now. That means roughly nine teams could or should be looking at the quarterback position in the 2010 ... Continue Reading

Kevin Roberts’ 2010 NFL Mock Draft 3.0: Sam Bradford vs. Ndamukong Suh For Top Pick

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Thursday, February 11th 2010. Under NFL, NFL Draft Tags: 2010 NFL Draft, Alex Smith, California, Chicago Bears, CJ Spiller, Colt McCoy, Detroit Lions, Eric Berry, Gerald McCoy, Green Bay Packers, Jahvid Best, Jimmy Clausen, Jonathan Dwyer, Keith Null, Kyle Boller, Marc Bulger, Minnesota Vikings, Ndamukong Suh, New Orleans Saints, Notre Dame, Sam Bradford, San Francicsco 49ers, St. Louis Rams, Steve Spagnuolo, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Tim Tebow, Toby Gerhart, Tony Pike, USC, Washington Redskins

The St. Louis Rams have begun to whisper enough that this writer thinks they are seriously considering going after Sam Bradford with the No. 1 overall pick. Marc Bulger is dead weight, and Keith Null and Kyle Boller are not worth another season below 3-13. True, Ndamukong Suh would be a welcomed ... Continue Reading

What Does Mike Martz to Chicago Mean For Jay Cutler?

Posted By Kevin Roberts On Monday, February 1st 2010. Under NFL Tags: Alex Smith, Chicago, Chicago Bears, Detroit, Detroit Lions, J.T. O'Sullivan, Jay Cutler, Jon Kitna, Kurt Warner, Lovie Smith, Marc Bulger, Mike Martz, Mike Singletary, New England Patriots, San Francicsco 49ers, St. Louis Rams

Mike Martz hasn't always been known as the easiest guy to get along with. It's not necessarily that he's mean, arrogant, or brass. He's just stubborn. He loves to air it out. He passes to set-up the pass. His offense thrives on blowing the other team's offense out of the water, making ... Continue Reading

You can never learn anything if you don't re-trace your steps.

Jay Cutler in Chicago: Work in Progress or Failure?

The 2009 NFL season is over for the Chicago Bears. Both because it's now 2010, and because playoff season has started. The Bears, at 7-9, will not be taking part, despite once hoping in the off-season that their ambitious trade for Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler would make them a complete ... Continue Reading

We learned a few things in Week 16. The New Orleans Saints didn't just trip up against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 15. They got exposed, and quite clearly, in a big way. If the Tampa Bay Buccaneers can sneak by them, the question is begging to be asked, "Who can't?". Speaking ... Continue Reading
