Around the NFL ... Week 13 edition

Desean is really good. Does seem a tad overrated to me, but yeah, I'd take him here.

All the talk on Espn this morning is how great Luck is.RG3 needs to have a big game tonight for any chance at rookie of the year,IMO,plus we need to win
Theyre saying Luck has 5 4th qtr comebacks,blah blah blah.Not caring that much about his turnover ratio

My question is how many of those turnovers were cause by a WR tipping the ball? The main thing is he overcame them somehow to have 5 4th quarter comebacks.

He may have a lot of turnovers, but he also has his team in the play-offs. Not denigrating RGIII in any way, my man-crush is full on. At the same time, Luck is no slouch and has been carrying the Colts in the same way RGIII has carried the Skins. A break here or there for either and the records of the two teams could easily be reversed.

Bottom line in this league and, particularly for QB's, is wins. Luck may turn the ball over occasionally, but he wins. Can't take that away from him.

I, for one, would love to see a regularly scheduled Luck v. Griffin Superbowl. Do that, and both make it to the HOF.

I watched the Indy game yesterday. With all his pass attempts he's going have int's. My impression was they're putting a lot on his plate throwing it as much as they do. He threw a lot of bad balls as I would expect him to, but he also made a ton of plays too. I think he gets the nod for ROY because Indy was pathetic last year and now they're on track of a wild card.

Quite possible we're seeing the Magic, Jordan, Bird era of QBs.

No joke. It is a magical time for young QB's.

I agree the D. Jax would be an upgrade over Banks - but that's just not setting the bar very high. I don't think he is an upgrade - for this offense - over Garcon, Morgan or Moss (Okay, maybe Moss - but do you think DJ would come here to be WR3/PR when plenty of other teams (Cleveland, SD, Jax, Seattle) would pay him to be a WR1/2?). We need blocking WR's in this offense and PG and JM fit the bill well. Throw in his injury history and I am just not impressed.

Don't get me wrong, I think Jackson is a good WR - not as good as he thinks he is and not worth what the Eagles paid him. I just don't see him being a good fit here for what they would have to pay him. Again, I think we have cheaper solid quality guys down the depth chart. We have to many other holes to pay him what he would want and to be our slot reciever/PR.

Ed Reed of Baltimore Ravens says 'powder puff' football making NFL worse - ESPN

The hit on Sydney Rice wasnt Powder Puff. But I understand where hes coming from.

Agreed. I certainly wasn't arguing that we ought to go all Vinny on him and sign him, just that he would do what Banks does, but better. I'm not big on bringing any eagle players in, not worth the stink.

As an aside, can you imagine RGIII with a defense comparable to Seattle's? We would be 12-0.

I deeply envy their PED taking CB's.

My Defensive wish list to Santa:

Chicago's Safeties
Seattle's Corners
Cleveland's DT's
Houston's DE's
Id Keep Skins LB's

Then lets roll.

So apparently the Eagles have announced this morning Nick Foles will be the starter for the rest of the season

And let the 3-headed QB battle begin in New York!!!!!

So where does Michael Vick go next year? KC? Jacksonville? Oakland? Jets? Buffalo? Minnesota? Arizona?

[Monkeydad]

They're also fired another coach!
