1. Start clearing a roster space for Andrew Luck

[trumad]

2. Nope---Phins first.

[Auggie]

3. It'll be close

Either team could squeeze out two or three victories. If lucky (or rather, unlucky).

[WilliamPitt]

4. Gonna have to race the Rams and KC to the bottom

Suck for Luck!

[Auggie]

6. Hah--that's good!

:rofl:

[trumad]

5. It pains me to even think it...

We were 1-5 just a couple of years ago. What do the Phins do--- we pick a lineman up and leave Matt Ryan.

If we got first pick again and did the same thing...leaving A. Luck... fans may burn down the stadium.

7. All you need is a quarterback to be back in contention

It won't cure all, but the parade of fuzzheads you've had behind center since Marino retired - including the current one - are at the core of your troubles.

The Patriots had a guy to build a team around with Bledsoe, and then even more so with Brady, but the fact is we had no core to build around until those two guys came along...and since then, we've been competitive for the last 18 years with two guys.

Just sayin'.

[trumad]

9. No---sorry---

it's not just the QB...

Sparano is a horrible coach...much the same as Dave Wannstedt was.

[WilliamPitt]

10. Well, at least Detroit is out of the Luck raffle.

Told you they'd be good.

[PRETZEL]

11. Detroit I don't think would have gone for him

even though Stafford has had his fair share of injuries the last couple of years, he seems like he'll be a pretty good NFL qb for a good while.

[trumad]

13. Yeah---years of first round draft picks

and getting rid of Matt Millen...they better be better.

[Auggie]

12. You need a system in which everyone is on the same page,

and one built to exploit the talents of the players and coaches you have. Sounds simple, as Bill Parcells explained yesterday morning on ESPN, but it's very difficult to execute.

[trumad]

14. Bill Parcells should just Shut the Fuck up.

He built the house of cards.

[trumad]

8. Meant to say 1-15
