Andy Reid was a pretty big fan of TP before he even came into the big leagues so the move seemed pretty obvious, although I thought that's where he was going to go last season but apparently not.

He could probably start for them at WR just based on his physical attributes alone. my god their WRs are trash

whoever was propping up Dwayne Bowe earlier, I have to disagree there as well. He isn't anything special. A mediocre WR 2 is about it.

He'd be WR1 for them.

That was me and I was saying he'd fit into a system that already has two receivers ahead of him so mediocre WR 2 is a notch up from where I was going with it.. I'd like to see him compliment Maclin & Mathews or Decker & Harvin or the Lions, Patriots and Packers systems.

He should go to Denver on a 1 year deal. Peyton gets him 10 TDs and he gets a fat contract in 2016

Sounds about right if that scenario played out, I kind of want to see how Cody Latimer does if he ever gets an opportunity while Peyton is there as the field general.

I wanted to see Latimer get some run this year, but apparently he wasn't even close to being ready. I think he has a long way to go still

Not many WRs that come out of Indiana have successful careers, in fact they mainly seem pretty raw when they come out of college.. most likely because their system is so basic at Indiana that adjusting to a pro team's system throws their consistency out of whack.. Eventually he'll be ready and his athleticism mixed with some additional route running knowledge would make him a pretty effective weapon I would imagine.

What was the big kids name that went to Buffalo? I remember really thinking he had some amazing physical tools, but he never amounted to shit.

Aww, James Hardy.

well, this explains that

This is mainly the UT mark in me, but Da'Rick Rogers signing with the Chefs (not fixing) is a lot more interesting. Dude's a really good talent, didn't he have a great stretch with Indianapolis a few years ago?

Scares me that they have too many of those recent UT players in the locker room. Each one lowers the team's average IQ by 10 points.

Rogers is a hood ass mofo but he's pretty slick.

Defense either front seven or secondary.

IMO in the NFL if you have two things you can always be competitive. 1.) QB duh

2.) Gobs of pass rushers. If you have 4-5 guy who can really get after a QB you are good to go. This was the Colts formula for success for a long time. They had a TON of weaknesses being covered up by Pey Pey and then Mathis/Freeney getting after QBs once Peyton gave them a lead.

I'd throw OL in there too, although as you say with the Colts it matters less because of Peyton's release.

Khalil Mack named the "Best 4-3 Outside Linebacker" according to PFF. Wonder what other cool stats they have?

After watching this year its definitely O line, we were stacked in every position but that and it costed us big time.
