Blaine Gabbert has had a rough start to his NFL career. He's currently working with his fourth head coach and third offensive coordinator. That type of instability stunted Alex Smith's career early on, and it may be having a similar effect on Gabbert's career. That instability hasn't stopped anonymous critics from slamming the Jaguars' "franchise" […]

The NFL is all about money, unless you have more money than you can ever spend. At that point, players just want to make their mark. Winning a Super Bowl is the ultimate way for a quarterback to make his mark on the game, and that's what Carson Palmer seems to be eyeing. According to […]

For a bit of fun on a Wednesday afternoon, let's shake up our routines with a bit of a controversial declaration. Yes, you read the title correctly. I think it's more likely that Vince Young plays in the NFL in the coming season than Tim Tebow. Before I outline this argument, I want to qualify […]

Yesterday, Jason La Canfora targeted the Jacksonville Jaguars as a likely landing place for Seahawks quarterback Matt Flynn, citing multiple NFL sources. Also mentioned as potential teams for Flynn were the Bills and the Raiders. Of the three teams, the Jacksonville Jaguars make far more sense than the Raiders or the Bills. The Raiders have […]

With no high caliber, or even mediocre caliber, quarterbacks on their roster, the assumption is that the Buffalo Bills will be drafting a quarterback to be their starter in next month's draft. The problem is that they're drafting in an awkward. At eighth overall, the Bills likely won't have a shot at drafting Geno Smith, […]

The Baltimore Ravens took an improbable route to the Super Bowl in January before defeating the San Francisco 49ers to claim the Lombardi Trophy, but that accomplishment hasn't pushed them any closer to being the AFC's darling team in 2013. The Broncos and the Patriots remain as the top teams in the conference, and that's […]

Elvis Dumervil never should have hit the free agent market, but that's exactly what happened due to a faxing error on his agent's part. Despite the mishap, the Broncos still put in an offer that would have kept Dumervil in Denver, but it seems it wasn't enough. Mike Klis of the Denver Post reports that […]

Jaguars star running back is back in school at UCLA this spring, hoping to work towards a history degree that was put on hold by his NFL career. The sight of an NFL star on campus likely leaves some students somewhat giddy, but it's Jones-Drew that has the real adjustment to make. "So much has […]

Last season was nothing short of disastrous for the Detroit Lions. Coming off a rare playoff appearance, the Lions were never able to put together complete games, and their 4-12 record reflected that. At times, the offense or the defense would play well, but it was never for an extended period of time, and they […]

Earlier today, on "Mike and Mike in the morning," Jerome Bettis added his name to the growing list of current and former players speaking out against a new rule that will penalize ball carriers for initiating contact with the crown of their helmet. "It really makes no sense," Bettis said today. "The running back now […]

Draft season is usually dominated by the discussion of where high ranked quarterbacks will be drafted, but that hasn't been the case this year. It's widely believed that Geno Smith will be selected inside the top ten in April's draft, but beyond that it's a crapshoot. Matt Barkley will likely be drafted at some point […]

Earlier this week, Bears running back Matt Forte spoke out against a proposed rule change that would make it illegal for a ball carrier to lower his head as contact was initiated. Now, former Rams running back and Hall of Famer Marshall Faulk is piling on as well. "This is a joke," Faulk said on […]

James Harrison is one of the most feared defensive players in the NFL. He consistently levels ball carriers, often resulting in fines levied by the NFL. He's a great 3-4 linebacker that demands top dollar for his services. The problem is, no one is willing to pay him. According to Peter King of Sports Illustrated, […]

Under Roger Goodell, the NFL has made a number of rule changes in the name of player safety. Many of these changes have been unpopular with fans, but the owners love them. These changes protect owners from lawsuits, but they also change the way the game is played. While owners are aware that fans don't […]
