Vox.com: How NFL teams ignore basic economics and draft players irrationally.

If Rivers played for the Giants all these years he might have three. Eli did not win those superbowls the defense did. Rivers is the better QB , but Eli plays for the better team.


Nope , with the heat that Eli has taken , just from Tiki and Shocky when he first got there Rivers would have been crying for ever .The D played well because Eli stepped up .

Just like Trent Dilfer brought the Ravens a superbowl, right? :laughing-


Whatever helps you sleep at night .:doh:

if rg3 wins a superbowl and the rams don't...

still way too early to judge.

Likewise, interception lover. :laughing-

I'll take his Super Bowls along with the INT's any day ,others would also .:spank:

I agree. Its still way too early to tell if the RG3 trade was worth it.

I'll take his Super Bowls along with the INT's any day ,others would also .:spank:Just like Trent Dilfer. Wait, was Dilfer as interception prone as She-li? :laughing2

I do find it interesting that almost everything this article says a team should do the Skins dont do. Maybe that's why they have been so bad for so long.

I think some of you are missing the big picture. It's not just about the RGIII trade. It's about increasing your chances of succeeding, and you can do that through having more draft picks. Egotistical front offices burn their picks for a coveted player while the smarter ones (with good scouting) gather additional picks to have more chances of hitting that home run.

The draft is one big lottery. It's a crap shoot. A 1st rounder could easily bust, and a 6th rounder could become a hall of famer. Again, which would you rather have? One lottery ticket or five lottery tickets? Which one will give you a higher chance at winning the lottery? (clue: it's the five tickets)

Smart front offices keep their picks or trade them for more picks. Bad front offices trade their picks for particular players.

St. Louis has finished last in the west twice and third once. No playoffs, since the trade. Hasn't helped them
