Solder. They gotta keep the Tin Man up right.

Because the know they have an ok backup with Pike and they already know Clausen is a bust.

Good Points made all around, and we will never agree either (but Im not going to a federal mediator with you).

I posted that last November. Basically with so little tied up in QBs they can easily afford to jettison Clausen and take a shot with Newton, especially with a rookie pay scale in place.

I spoke on this in another thread. ' http://www.sofantasyfootball.com/nfl/f2/first-pick-2011-national-football-league-draft-37966/ My post:

So what you are saying is if dont like the risk they should take their ball and go home, not make any money at all, and leave the game they love to someone else? I dont see any player saying they dont want to play, they want fair and just compensation commensurate with the risks and their talent...

The NFL never had intentions of making a deal. No, the players are not being forced to play for peanuts, but they arent making the owners peanuts either. They got unrealistic compromises offered to them. This is very simple. Open up your books and prove you are losing money. If the...

I get what you are saying Mud, but it still doesnt compare. The NFL is not over spent. They are an extremely rich organization.

MJD has Jennings. Maybe Barber can go back up Tim Hightower and Chris Wells in Arizona.

You cant even begin to tell me if you had the ability to go play for the 49ers you wouldnt jump at, and you wouldnt expect to be compensated for your services. The average career of an NFL player is what? 3 years? For every Frank Gore there are 5 guys who toil at the vet minimum or on the...

You need to pick a side. In the first paragraph you seem to say you support ownership and the players should just roll over and take it or go work for another league. In the second, you are saying they have the ability to negotiate, so they should do what they are doing now and get the best...

No. Im not talking about pay cuts because of a work shortage. The NFL is a monster money maker. You are telling me that you, either as the owner or employee of an extremely profitable company, has constructed a newer/bigger facility or equipment, and then told your employees they would have to...

How many industries are like the NFL?? This is the largest football organization in the world, and it is certainly different than regular industry. How many times has your employer built a new drilling rig and then asked YOU to take a salary/benifits cut to pay for it Mud?

I dont buy the crap Goodell is shoveling. The players arent asking for anything unusual. No one made Jerry Jones go out and blow $700 million of his own money building his new stadium, and I dont think guys that will be crippled in their 50s should have to pay for it.

Thats true, but still, the guy was the best QB the Cards have probably ever had, he has intimate knowledge of Bulger and the Cards system, and unlike any other trash Arizona could put under center, he has been to Super Bowls and won one.

He wont make it out of training camp.

Kolb has more raw talent than those two guys. Harbaugh would do wonders with him as QB

They need to take Smith and move Mt McKinnie to the other side of the line.

New England can afford it do that. Tampa cant.

aaaaaaaaaand thats just another reason why rookies need a wage scale.
