Although his yardage total dipped from 4,374 yards to 3,822 from year one to year two, something more important was also cut in half: Luck threw just nine … [Read more...] about Forget Flacco, it’s ‘Is Andrew Luck ELITE?’ debate time

Olivia Munn doesn’t play defense for Green Bay’s opponent each week
Ever since Aaron Rodgers took over for Brett Favre as the Packers’ starting quarterback in 2008, Green Bay has been one of the most successful franchises in the NFL—if not the most successful.

NY Jets should effectively rush Aaron Rodgers
This NY Jets defense contains arguably Rex Ryan’s best pass rush since he came to New York in 2009. Through the years, he’s been able to call defensive gems against the likes of Peyton Manning and Tom Brady. He did so against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers back in 2010, but the offense faltered and the Jets were shutout 9-0. Rodgers went just 15 of 34 for 74 yards … [Read more...] about NY Jets should effectively rush Aaron Rodgers

Imagine, if you will, Troy Polamalu returning a fumble he forced himself for a touchdown; Aaron Rodgers lofting up 50-yard bombs with pinpoint accuracy; and Maurice Jones-Drew dissecting a defense with his explosive speed. Now, imagine all of those things happening… with those players wearing Bears jerseys.

Which quarterback should the Chicago Bears draft?
Before you get up in arms about the title, let me make this clear: this is not an article proposing that the Bears should pick a quarterback in the 1st round of this year’s draft to replace Jay Cutler. If the Bears take a quarterback at all, it will be with one of their later selections in the 4th, 5th, 6th, or even 7th rounds. No quarterback taken that late will challenge … [Read more...] about Which quarterback should the Chicago Bears draft?
