I'm not going to do that search because: A) Michael Sam is a topic I couldn't care less about, and B) Reading ignorant opinions from losers on Twitter is the worst.

Bengals WR Marvin Jones will miss at least 4-6 weeks with a broken 5th metatarsal in his left foot. This is a potential stumbling point for Cincinnati, who already lacks a true #3 WR. Jones was a legit #2 who emerged big opposite AJ Green with 10 TD's last year.

Good news for OSU fans. This all but seals Dane Sanzenbacher making the opening game 53-man roster.

Um...Manning to D. Thomas? D. Thomas is in the same tier as Dez and Manning is much better than Romo.

Stafford to Megatron is probably better too. Romo is better than Stafford (slightly) but no one compares to Megatron.

You're going to end up with Weeden once Romo tweaks his back. :RpS_flapper:

Lol I'm a Cowboys fan as well but I'd say they are 3rd.

Manning/D Thomas are clearly #1 after them I'd go Stafford/Megatron slightly ahead of Romo/Dez. Rodgers/Nelson and Ryan/Julio are right up there too. I think after Manning/Thomas these other 4 could be put into any order.

BR, I know it was preseason but Weeden looked better in that game than I ever saw him look in Cleveland haha. But yeah it's not looking good if Romo goes down.

Ya know, quite a few people have LEFT cleveland and found themselves winning a championship so maybe Weeden gets his just like Kosar did....

I wouldn't bank on it but, as thavoice said, stranger things have happened. I just don't see the light bulb going on at age 30. If I recall, he looked decent in preseason last year too, and then the true Weeden came out.

Since pick6 said QB/WR combo I didn't include them since Graham is a TE.

But if it was QB/WR or TE then Brees/Graham would be #1 for me.

They are. It's going to be a looooong season for defenses.

Watching the NFL this year is almost painful. Flag after flag after flag after flag. The referees are going fucking crazy with the defensive holding, illegal contact ect calls

It has never been this bad with illegal contact and defensive holding calls.

The refs are just letting everyone know they aren't getting away with anything and then will let up as always come season.

It'll be a non-story during the season.
