The Jags don't impress at all. Gabbert may be better off riding the pine considering the surrounding cast.

True, but I think the Jags could have contended with the Colts and Texans if Peyton for the AFC South if Peyton wasn't healthy.

David Garrard is one of the better examples of why QB rating is such a lousy statistic. If you attempt 20 short passes a game and take a sack every other series, you rate as one of the more efficient passers in the NFL, despite the fact that you aren't really moving the ball up the field worth a damn.

He might be a little bit better than the schlubs Jacksonville has sticking around, but in spite of their fluke 8-8 record Jacksonville had one of the worst point differentials in the AFC and aren't going anywhere this year, and nobody is going to give Garrard the money he was due to make with the Jaguars this year.

Wouldn't Garrard be a better option for the Colts than Painter/Collins?

4 of us are allowed to pick one team for the season. Whichever team finished with the best record for the regular season is the money-winner.

Right now, I'm leaning toward Green Bay.
If it were me, I'd go with Pittsburgh. Lighter schedule.
holla!

Apparently Peyton Manning had more neck surgery this morning, and is out 2-3 months minimum. Wow.

He should sit out the entire year...if he was smart.
