No denying that.

I still feel next season will be a one to watch. Lot of teams going to get freshened up this off season. Will be interesting.

I'll let the forum know if the CFL acquires another International broadcast deal or starts streaming outside of Canada, USA and Mexico again since last season they did not have this. I think that a lot of the gridiron fans on here would enjoy watching it and that some who don't like the NFL may actually find it more to their liking.

It's quite a bit different than the NFL in many ways, there is much more passsing due to the three downs...bigger field...12 players at a time...the single point rule and many more. The season also starts earlier very late June to early July

Manning leaving the Colts will certainly stir things up. It stands to reason they will replace him with either Luck or RG3, imo RG3 is a better QB, then you will get some trading up to get the other as the one thing St Louis doesn't need is a QB as they have Sam Bradford. As for Manning he is in Denver today meeting with owners there, that would be a good fit and that also should improve a certain Mr Tebow

imo Colts will go with Luck.. right now he's a better QB. RG3 does offer a better run game from the QB imo but Luck has the overall throwing a bit like Manning out of college tbh.

I think they will go with Luck, they don't have to tinker with their offence that much. I just think RG3 will have more longevity, all depends where he goes.

 

[TrueSlawter]

Depends on the system ran too, really it boils down to how fast can the Colts get sorted again and get the offense and defence at a good standard for luck to show what he can do whereas Griffin likely going to the 2nd pick in the draft the team might have the O-line sorted etc as someone on the nfl site said if RG3 goes to the browns he should do well there and possibly better than Luck.

This basically means the Redskins will get Luck/RG3 as a second pick in the draft

Funny Season in the NFL has open today.

No suprise that my team the Cowboys got a cap penalty. Geat start to Free Agency 2012.

 

[SelimNiai]

Saints had to put Franchise tag on Brees basically meaning someone big has to go as theres not enough cap. Colston has signed on though so its ok for now

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Did you see what the Redskins traded the Rams to make sure they trade up to get RGIII?

 

[SelimNiai]

Yeah, too much imo. If RG3/Luck doesnt work out for them theyre screwed in terms of getting good rookies for the next few years. I think they were worried they wouldnt get him so put a trade together that no other team would go over

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Ye, pretty screwed if the QB does not solve them. A good QB is not going to win you a Super Bowl alone. Although Manning with the Colts is the exception, but to be honest in 2007 the Colts D was good.

 

[TrueSlawter]

It wont be a few years till the Colts get winning again imo (as in playoffs constantly) As they need to get some decent WR's aswell as getting a good QB and Defence..

Manning off to Denver, means Tebow will probably either stay to learn from one of the best or get traded to a team where he will play. I'd stay if I were him

Massive mistake on Manning's part. Should have gone to the 49ers who had assembled an immaculate receiving core and an ever improving defence. Had he moved there, would have been the missing piece in their jigsaw. His move to Denver raises more questions than answers.

 

[SelimNiai]

Alex Smith is probably the only person in SF happy about that.

Tebow to the Dolphins? Loved in Florida.

Certainly a viable option, Jacksonville is also being touted but that aint gonna happen.

The Jags would be disaster for Tebow. Dolphins have those third round picks they got for Marshall one or both may well go towards securing Tebow. Only problem is ... Miami has no one for their new QB to throw to.

 

[SelimNiai]

Tim Tebow traded to the Jets. Mark Sanchez is offically worse than Tebow as TT has not gone to NY not to start

 

[TRF_Cymro]

Aye, amazing day in the NFL.

Cromatie who is known Tebow's team mate welcomed Tebow to the team by slagging him off and saying that other positions needed filling more. However it's not over as the Broncos want $5M from Jets in the Tebow trade. More Info: http://blogs.nfl.com/2012/03/21/broncos-want-5m-from-jets-in-tebow-trade/?module=HP11_headline_stack

Then Super Bowl winning coach Sean Peyton has been suspended without pay for a year for his involvement in 'Bountygate'. New Orleans Saints also lost two second round picks for the 2012 and 2013 season.
