Looks like I was right, cowboys are giving Matt Flynn a try out. Also looking at Christian Ponder, Josh Johnson, and McLeod Bethel-Thompson. I still think Flynn makes the most sense but I think he was injured earlier this year so that may make the Cowboys go with another QB.

With Fitzmagic at the helm, basically the outcome of every game is a coin flip. You're literally relying on absolute luck for Fitzmagic not to throw the game away in the last couple minutes of the 4th quarter.
Everyone crapped talk the Jets. I'm so glad Geno got that broken jaw. Atleast with Fitz, we're not throwing as many picks.
Dallas Homer here, but Weedon is gonna lead the Boys to a W!
Would not want to be a Bears fan going into this weekend..
Dallas Homer here, but Weedon is gonna lead the Boys to a W!
He a decent QB, just don't expect him to be very mobile and throw on the run. If the Dallas O-line stays healthy they should be able to win games.
I am honestly the most worried about the Patriots. The other teams are stupid enough to stack the box, blitz and LB and dare Weeden to beat them. And, with Witten and Beasley, he will dink and dunk them all night. BB, on the other hand, is smart enough to let Dallas waste time establishing a run game. Brady will score and Dallas will HAVE to play catch up. Romo and Dez can gunsling against the best of 'em, but Weeden without Dez, eh, nope. BB seems smart enough to give Dallas enough rope to hang themselves and just play safe most of the game.

Only because he pushes off every single route he runs.Edeleman, (unstoppable).

I live an hour from Boston. Pats games are all that's on TV here, bud.Whatever. Watch some pats games. You can have nothing but respect for the way he plays the game. He's one of the toughest receivers I've seen.

You have to forgive the actual Boston team fans. They're a lot like Massachusetts drivers in general: They can't accept criticism of any sort with grace or dignity.
I'm starting to think that Geno's broken jaw was planned, and that everyone pitched in...Everyone crapped talk the Jets. I'm so glad Geno got that broken jaw. Atleast with Fitz, we're not throwing as many picks.
Kam ends holdout:
http://news.yahoo.com/kam-chancellor-doesnt-want-let-135943896.html
Good, because it seems sports has become about maneuvering and signing deals in such a fashion that would allow one to get a BIGGER contract later on.
Its becoming less and less about winning, and more and more about greed and max contracts.
Thank God. Any support he may have had initially has been gone for a while. Another week, and his name would have been mud in Seattle. He's going to have to work his ass off now to gain respect back.
Damn. Was hoping Kam would stay strong and hold out. He signed a very team friendly deal and got screwed in the end.
I'm not buying the Lynch excuse -- the dude looked silly by losing 2 millions dollars trying to get 900,000.
Greed, that's all that was...and now he's out of 2 million. Even if Seattle gave him his 900,000, he's still out of 1.2 million.
Stupid.
Oh, and I don't think this was a coincidence that he came back against the garbage Bears, a team they would have shellacked anyway without him.
Perhaps this win would "prove" his value to the team. He should have faced Rodgers last week to make that case.
I won't be surprised if there's a backroom type deal where Seattle contacted him to agree giving him some of what he's asking (doesn't have to be right away, maybe a signed promise for future contract, etc.), with the agreement that he stays quiet about such deal and tell the media that he decides to end his holdout because of 'reasons' (apparently he chose for the reason to be Lynch in this case).
It's a win win situation for absolutely everyone. The biggest problem of his holdout in the first place is the precedent. Seattle probably wouldn't mind giving him what he wants (maybe with a little bit of further negotiation), but then if they do that they opened the door for everyone else to do the same, inviting a lot more headaches in the future.

I am not opposed to this idea myself.
My only issue is how people viewed the Seahawks as being this big, bad, greedy corporation "getting over" on Kam who, by the way, is paying him $267,000/wk.
This is not slavery -- these men, even those making the minimum, are living much better than your average working person.
Well, they should have crossed that bridge when they got there. I don't see there being many other players who are underpaid in terms of what other similar players get paid, who have drastic impacts on their teams.
And everyone can cry my a river about Kam being greedy. Noone says a peep when teams go to players and ask them to take pay cuts or restructure their contract or risk being cut.
You keep throwing out how much he makes likes it matters as to the monetary value he brings his team. It sounds like u have a general issue with Capitalism.
