Jim Irsay, the attention-whore owner of the Colts

What does that make Rex Ryan?

dunno why Tony Dungy would ever get credited for a quarterback’s development either

peter king says dungy’s responsible for vick’s comeback.

Not that the senior Mora did a whole lot for Peyton, but once Dungy got the job he was off and running.

Go check out Peyton’s stretch from 1999-2001, was pretty damn good then save for a bout of picks in ’01 but that wasn’t a very good team…dunno why Tony Dungy would ever get credited for a quarterback’s development either

Who knows if that makes sense, lucky this thread is almost dead.

it makes sense.

I thought more 5th round project for Locker but I agree with your thesis

After working out both players, Walsh said they both would be stars. He said Manning would be a star from the start, however, and that played into Indianapolis drafting him. Leaf, Walsh said, would take a few years but he eventually would develop on the same level as Manning

Walsh didn’t have Leaf over Manning, but he DID like him a lot and thought he’d be a star. It’s why I like to see the post last week about Landry Jones getting a 4th round grade… if QBs are all hit or miss, pick either a ‘hit’ or a ‘miss’. Don’t just slot him in because there aren’t enough ‘hits’ or you’ll end up with Jim Druckenmiller.

Another way to put it… people look at Jake Locker, and say he’s a top 5 pick if they like him, or a top 20 pick if not. If you think he’ll be a star, a star QB is a top 5 pick. If he’ll be a bust, then he shouldn’t be in the top 3 rounds at all. Who knows if that makes sense, lucky this thread is almost dead.

I blame it on the lack of sleep.

I blame it on your uterus.

/stupid moderation

Seems crazy that it has been eight years since Roddick won the US Open

I know, it seems like just last week that he was choking it up in the second round of another major.

/oh wait, it was

Seemed like a cool read from skimming it.

SD actually moved from 3 to 2 that draft, but a loss to Indy would have gotten them the first pick, plus let them keep an extra first, second and Eric Metcalf.

In week 9, SD and Indy played a game for the rights to Peyton Manning. Surprised I’ve never heard that before.

I nearly searched through pro football reference to see if they had played each other in 1997. Very interesting.

I forget, did the Chargers have Manning above Leaf? A lot of people (including Bill Walsh, IIRC) had Leaf #1, so the two may have ended up where they were even if they had switched spots.

didn’t find the quote, but walsh did say he wouldn’t take peyton no. 1 (take another player and take brian griese in round 2). can’t find what he said about leaf tho…

It might not have been that difficult but this was still good prognostication by CJ

Nothing. I’ve always thought my opinions of which girls are attractive were more in line with your opinions than someone like SC. Which is why I find it odd that you object so much with my comments. I guess I was wrong.

Who knows… he’s probably out using the earthquake for sympathy sex right now.

that sounds like something he’d do.
