I remember. But if I need a catch made, I'd still throw to Crabtree over Davis.
As the error of panic claims another victim, Caldwell to Detroit official, expect Painter to be signed any moment now.
I like PFF, but they aren't the end all be all for football stats. Both Football Outsiders and Advanced NFL Stats rank Kaepernick ahead of Wilson. ESPN's total QBR does too for whatever that stat is worth.
Wilson will get Flacco money. So will Kaep, Luck, Newton. The going rate on a new deal for a franchise QB is $15mil/yr+. Look at what Cutler got.. lol
Is Caldwell really that good? Why sign him?

FWIW, PFF is the only group that grades every single snap of every game. While I don't know what kind of standards their grading is held to, their grading is highly regarded from what I've seen (referenced by analysts on roto, numberfire, espn, yahoo). They are also the only group that have signature stats like missed tackles broken down by run and pass. I don't think Football Outsiders and Advanced NFL Stats are matching PFF's metrics when you actually look at the formulas since metrics such as deep passing and yards per route run (better than popular and common metrics yd/reception or yd/target) are % based.
Like the previous poster mentioned, physical tools will only get you so far (look at Daunte Culpepper!) when talking about ceiling. Football IQ is king, and Wilson's potential is higher IMO. I could be wrong though.
I'm sure he is a nice guy and might even be an OK coordinator (he helped save the Ravens last year but I think they struggled this year), but he has no charisma. Whisenhunt would've been better for Detroit and I'm surprised he didn't pick them over Tennessee, as I think they're in a position to win now. Not sure Tennessee is in that position.

Thought it had something to do with power over personnel for him choosing Tennessee over Detroit.. MMQB today said it was timing too. Tennessee closed the deal a couple hours before Wisenhunt was scheduled to talk with Detroit again.
LOL
Detroit fans, get used to seeing blank stares on the sidelines, along with the patented Caldwell "deer in headlights" look.
This is gonna sound a lot like butthurt, and I guess it is, but back to my gameday replies about horrible officiating... on SF's TD play to end the 1st half:
That was on the same play as the 12 men in the huddle no-call. I wish they hadn't done a review of whether Davis was inbounds on the play, because I think it distracted the refs from making the two calls they should have made on the play, which would have rendered the catch meaningless. And while SF punched Carolina in the mouth in the 2nd half, those two calls, and the bogus PI call on that late drive, and other calls as noted really killed Carolina's momentum. They outplayed SF in the 1st half and should have gone into the locker room with a solid lead. SF may have won the game anyway, but that doesn't excuse the terrible officiating.
The stakes in these games are too high to excuse bad officiating.
In first game, Carl Cheffers reported why he did not call 12 in the huddle. He said the ball was not made ready for play yet. He was right
The 12th player left the huddle at the same time he chopped in the ready for play. This followed the foul so the play clock had not started.
For all of you sending pics of Harbaugh on Davis TD, he was so far behind the play no big deal. Even if called it's a dead ball enforcement
Late hit on Davis was good call folks. He let up & ball is on the ground. It makes no difference pass was tipped -- close, but a foul.
Mike Pereira called the 12 men in the huddle no flag a mistake DURING the game.
The selective enforcement of the coach on the field flag is exactly what I am talking about. There were two fouls that should have been called on that play. They were not called. There's nothing to debate.
Harbaugh wasn't interfering in any way though, and there was no chance he could get involved in that play.
It's probably selective in a universal sense, and always has been, because I bet those coaches are wandering out on the fields throughout all games, forever, even though they "shouldn't be."
There is no way you can compare Harbaugh being on the field in that shot to Tomlin's incident this year, for example.
There are a ton of missed calls in a football game. Nearly every play has a hold during it. If you expect the refs to be able to see and accurately call 100% of every penalty, you're a bit unrealistic to say the least.

I think Mike Pereira is wrong. The previous play was a running play and no timeout had been called, so the clock was running. Whether or not the ball is set doesn't matter. The rulebook doesn't talk about the ball being set or not; it only mentions that the clock has to be running:
Complaining about Harbaugh being on the field is silly though. That penalty is never called on any coach in that situation. He didn't interfere at all.
I agree. However, let's say for whatever reason SF can't punch it in and they get the FG instead. The refs really only are costing the Panthers 4 points in that situation (7-3) by missing the call. Add in the FG gift from the first quarter on the horrid unnecessary roughness where Carolina legitimately got the stop on 3rd down, and the refs really only directly cost Carolina 7 points (4+3). They still lost by 13 so it didn't matter from an objective standpoint.
A case can be made for momentum, but that is something we can't measure. If the game ended up 23-20 then Carolina would have a pretty good case that they got fucked out of a win. That wasn't the case though.
While I agree Harbaugh was not in the play at all, it is still a penalty. Same as holding on the opposite end of the play is still holding and can still be called.
