No, he isn't and no, he can't. The only reason he's a "starter" in your eyes is because he started for the Browns. He's not a starter for any other team in this league unless they run the "Checkdown Offense."

If I'm a Browns fan I think they need an offensive playmaker desperately, and Justin Blackmon is that guy. Dude is a physical freak and I think he can be a Dez Bryant/AJ Green type wr as a rookie or second year guy. I haven't read through this thread or the Browns offseason thread, but is that how Browns fans feel?

Some do but with McCoy at QB he's a wasted pick unless he specializes in running 3-5 yard underneath routes. He's no AJ Green.

More like a "wish sandwich." Two slices of bread where you "wish" you had meat...

I already told you what was happening IF the Red Sea were to part, Sasquatch were to sing a duet with the Loch Ness Monster AND McCoy were to a) even start and b) take the team to the playoffs....you'd get a certificate in the mail for a steak dinner. Believe me, the people at Outback aren't counting up their anticipated tips. :laugh:

Good move to not meet up with him. Weird "stuff" could happen.

Can you speculate on if he'll be the #1 or #2 for the Diamondbacks?

Mortensen and Schefter are reporting that Denver is in the lead for the Manning sweepstakes right now.

Were that to happen PFT is reporting that Shad Kahn in Jacksonville would do any and everything to trade for Tebow.

Head scratcher.

Denver's defense is better, imo, but AZ has a lot more to offer at WR. Their O-Line is putrid though.

What is their cap situation? Wasn't their o line pretty solid before this past season too? Maybe it was an off year.

I honestly believe the Chiefs are his best option.

Don't discount the Elway factor. Having been an elite QB himself, Peyton may be comfortable that he will do everything possible to make sure he succeeds because he knows himself what it takes.

John Fox has also shown himself to be incredibly adaptable, so I am sure that doesn't hurt.

Most important, the division blows. Probably could be winnable rather quickly.

Like I said, the Chiefs.
