The difference between the beginning of the year and the wheels falling off is Alex Mack getting hurt. Nothing more, nothing less. We had/have a playoff caliber team with Mack at the center position. The argument speaks for itself when you look at the stats before/after his injury. BR is mini iggy.

Phil Taylor as well. Look at how he pwned Cincy with Taylor. Gotta stop the run to succeed.

Eagles look to be willing to trade Foles. IMO...Foles is better option than we have or could get in draft. Any interest there? What pick/s would it take?

Would definitely take Foles if the price is right.

What's your price for an injury prone QB?

I wouldn't trade anything better than a 6th.

Interesting

Though the Packers could've had a high school TE to grab that onsides from the air and they are in the SB

...or block the person in front of him as assigned and let Nelson catch and possess the ball.

How about Mike Glennon? I would think he could be had for a 3/4th round pick.

I wouldn't even give a 7th for him. He looked god awful in person.

My eyes told me I'd rather have Hoyer.

Article states Haden and Mack are average players.

Glennon isn't exactly a blue chip prospect. But he's young, still just 25, and has been solid in scattered playing time during his first two seasons in the NFL.

In 19 career games, Glennon has thrown for 4,025 yards, with 29 touchdowns and 15 interceptions while completing 58.8 percent of his passes. Plus he has the physical tools. I threw out 3/4 because I've read articles saying he could be had for a 3rd-5th round pick. I'd certainty send a 5th for him if we can't get Winston/Mariota, as I think he's better than any FA QB on the market.

I am sure the beginning of Haden's season brought his grade down to average. Not sure how Mack is average. Maybe missing half the season brought his grade down.

Then I would hold no validity to the list since production (including time missed due to injuries) from Sept to Dec 2014 does not equals projected output from Sept to Dec 2015. Now if someone wants to state that with an average QB (12-17) range that this team is a 11-5 playoff team, I would agree with them.

No thanks on Glennon. He couldn't beat out Josh McCown on a team that finished in last place.

Well, in fairness, that was mainly Lovie Smith and his fear of playing younger, less-tested players when he can simply throw out a crappy veteran player.

I wonder if he will be getting that much from anybody else. He is injury prone and already has a career worth of concussions. If the Browns lose him, they are going to have a lot of money to deal with in FA this off season.

Thats about what he's worth. He's one concussion away from being a vegetable.

And we should get a pretty solid compensatory pick.
