if pagano hadn't hoaxed everybody with his made up illnesses and late night phone calls to Luck he would have won oroy. Seriously though being from kentucky its hard to say anything nice about the colts. But thier stinky no good nameless roster and coaches was a far higher climb to the playoffs in my opinion. Skins and seahawks had a somewhat stable structure. The colts had lost everything but Wayne.

The Colts still had Freeney and Mathis. They also had one of the easiest schedules in the league.

One played in a much tougher division and won a playoff game against the OROY. Not that i disagree with RG3 being chosen. Your line of reasoning is simply flawed.

he has double standards that are convenient to his argument, which in this one I'm sure he contradicted himself somewhere like placing win losses solely on the QB.

that sounds like an excuse. What all three guys did this year was remarkable. I thought Alfred Morris was more deserving of ROY than Griffin.

What's their excuse for not even scoring a TD in the playoffs then? Could it possibly be that they were an inferior team that got there due to a weak schedule?

I think that if Carrol and company would have known just what he could do and not started the season with Wilson in handcuffs, he would have not only broken Manning's touchdown record but he would have won ROTY as well.

It's probably more fair to say that he progressed throughout the season more than to assume he was that good at the beginning. I still think he shoulda won though.

I agree with this notion as well.

Kid started at high level colleges, for 50 games, I think, and was successful.

It's not a shock that he was/is successful, I have been calling it since his transfer.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
