I'm not sure you're reading what I'm typing. Never said the Niners were shit under Harbaugh, because they haven't been But the Seahawks have been the better franchise since they've joined the division. That's just a fact. You can claim the Seahawks are little brother all you want, but that really doesn't make any sense. It might make sense it Seattle didn't win 4 straight division championships and make it to the SB in the previous decade. Your 3 straight NFFCG and 1 SB appearance is certainly nothing to shake a stick at. Unfortunately for San Francisco they lost to the Seahawks in one of those NFCCG, and then the Seahawks went on to win the SB.
I HATE it when teams do that, draft the QB and then watch him get crushed for a few years. I like what the Jags are doing with how they drafted their QB but there line is so bad they wont toss him out this year. If your line is horrible and all your QB does is get destroyed for 2 or 3 years you'll turn Mariota or Winnston into Blaine Gabbert.
It doesn't matter. The Raiders coach and GM get fired this year. New guy will come in and want to draft his guy, which will be Mariota. It happens all the time.
They would probably rather wait until this off-season and get him for (relatively) free: http://www.forbes.com/sites/davidla...ng-his-final-season-with-the-new-york-giants/
I think he needs to go to a team with a somewhat decent o-line. Houston is an option but I think the Titans, Cardinals, Jets and the Vikings have the tools to rejuvenate that mouth breathers career. I think he can garner a late first or a future 1st and a 6th MAYBE. More than likely I see his worth as a 2nd and conditional 4th.
I can see the Cardinals or Titans if Locker goes down but Vikings/jets have young QBs they want to see if they pan out
That's exactly why a 34 year old Manning is perfect for those teams, gives them time under a champion (Jets might be a harder sell than the Vikes because Geno has started a lot of games already) to develop.
I hatred it when the Vikes brought in Brett Favre, and I would not be too pleased if they brought in Eli. They're doing exactly what they should be doing right now, letting Cassell start while TB learns the league, and I foresee them handing the reins to Teddy next August. Eli in Minnesota would be a step backward.
That would be severely premature. They're 1-1, after losing their star player. They'll regroup, Cassell will play better than he did last week, and we'll see a better effort out of them against New Orleans.
