Changing the subject a little bit, RG3 has been impressing the hell outta me. Hes everything the 49ers need right now. A mobile qb with a laser arm and the ability to read defenses and make the throws.

Been part of my Cowboys problem since AIKMAN retired.

Vick stays in philly. He can't read blitz for ****, and the offensive coordinator knows this, so its partially coaching. He still has zip on the ball and can run it. I've never seen anyone have issues with fumbling like him though, not since ryan grant in green bay.

I still think they get it sorted out coming into the playoffs. I just love the eagles man, they're a baller squad.

I like the Eagles to even though they are division rivals. Though I think its time for Andy Reid to go, because there is way to much talent on that team for them to have the record they do. That and they need to address some offensive line issues. Vicks running for his life every down it seems like.

Tebow has gone downfield once, his only good passing game was against Pittsburg in the playoffs last year. Smith has had plenty of big games the last two seasons.

He's also completing 67% of his passes this year, in full seasons he's averaging 15 TDs per seasons, so thats misleading, and he's trending upwards for 4 seasons now.

Tim Tebow completes less than 50% pf his passes, and would throw for even less % and more picks if he could go downfield.

I repeat, Alex Smith is nothing like Tebow.

Andy Reid needs to scrap that west coast. His team is made for spread formations. All that team speed and Mccoy in the backfield and they are a total 3yds and a cloud of dust offense. They obviously have issues up front, so its time to get Vick on the edge and start throwing more to Mccoy out of the backfield. I like Reid and respect the hell out of what hes done in Philly but hes probably gone next year. Urban Meyer? Maybe they can trade for Alex Smith hes a complete badass when hes running Meyers offense.

He's great at play action and running options, I know that.

He could work on decision making, but he's got a future. I could see him winning an MVP somewhere down the road.

Andy reids son died from heroin overdose recently, so its probably hard to focus. He made some good moves recently by firing the d coordinator (former offensive line coach?1?-really?). I like andy reid, through 12 seasons the eagles have missed the playoffs like 3 times.

So 15 tds is the new benchmark for a 16 game season. That would mean he throws 0.88 tds a game. Alex Smith may not be as good as Tebow in retrospect. OK i'm done giving you a hard time. LOL

Hes kind of predicated on running play action as that line is pretty bad. Hes been decent with his decisions. that 70 completion percentage is solid, but he definitely needs to step up his red zone productivity.

Vick is a one-trick pony when he can't complete his passes consistently. That's part of their problem. Consistency is everything in football, just look at how much the Chargers **** the bed with Rivers.
