The Combine is Over.

The nfl combine is over.  What would you do with one of the top picks in the nfl draft.  Would you take RGIII or trade him away for draft picks?


The quarterback position is really the foundation of your football team.  When you see a prospect come along with the speed and throwing ability of RGIII you have to wonder if you should trade that pick for multiple draft picks or keep him and build around him.  


What if you already have a good quarterback on your roster?  Last year there were a lot of people talking down Cam Newton.  Then the season rolled around and he proved week after week that he could play football in the nfl.  


Is RGIII going to come into the NFL and perform just as good as Cam Newton?  He is solid and he is fast.  If the play breaks down, he could extend the play with his running abilities. Pocket passer type quarterbacks are great, but when you have a quarterback that is also mobile, it can present big problems for defenses.  


Would you trade the pick to address multiple positions on your team?   I think that I would have to draft RGIII and get him on the field.  

A few weeks without NFL Football

That first week without football wasn't too hard to handle.  Sure, you favorite team is not going to be playing on Sundays for a few months but you have to give it to the NFL.  The season really is year round.  


The Superbowl was at the beginning of the month and you really only get one week off before the new season kicks off.  What is just a couple of weeks away?  The NFL Combine.  Now NFL fans can start thinking about the new year and forget about not winning the superbowl.  Everything starts over and teams can start looking at the best prospects.


You don't really have an off season.  Check some of the sports blogs and you will see that people are already thinking about free agency and the picking the right new talent.  


Are some of your favorite players getting ready to change teams?  They may be putting on some new nfl jerseys.  You won't be able to watch any football games anytime soon, but the combine, the draft and free agency will wet your appetite for the season to come.  

The Super Bowl

What did you think about the super bowl?  My team was not in it so I really didn’t care about the outcome.  I must say that I thought the Patriots would pull it out, but the Giants pulled it out.  

Eli Manning has stepped his game up and he is a top quarterback in the NFL now.  The pass play at the end of the game showed how much confidence he has.  Deep in his own territory he put the ball up and let his receiver go get it.  He didn’t play conservative.  When he saw the opportunity, he let it ride.  

The Patriots really had the game sowed up.  All they had to do was run out the clock.  If Wes Welker catches that Tom Brady pass, the Patriots would have won the game. The Patriot defense giving up the big pass play was also a game changer.

The football season is over and now everybody can start looking forward to next year.  This playoff season was entertaining.  Never would have thought that the Giants would beat the Pats two times in the super bowl.
