Johnny's getting his coverage.Tebow already had success in the NFL winning a playoff game and taking a sub-par team to the playoffs. Sure, whenever the Browns lose, the media will look at Johnny. But that's not because it's "Johnny Football", but because it's a young first rounder possibly replacing another QB.When Manziel starts winning games and proving himself, then the media will start to really talk. But I can't imagine the media going to crazy with a backup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockstar Matt Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 God dammit.I'd like to point out that a current player was suspended for only two games because he beat his girlfriend unconscious. Seems totally fair. Also, thank goodness he wasn't caught smoking weed, else he'd be out for the year.EDIT: to ninersdd, I think calling the Cowboys defense a "defense" is insulting to the other NFL defenses'. This "defense" is more akin to a matador instead of a defense. Cowboys - Lakers - LAFC - USMNT - LA Rams - LA Kings - NUFC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninersdd Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah, I'll be kinda sad if the Niners don't put up at least 40 in week 1. BEAR DOWN ARIZONA!2013/14 Tanks Picks Champion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least they have IND at home during that time and their OL has as many season ending injuries as the DAL defense. They also do not get the extra two days off following the Thanksgiving game as they'll play on back to back Thursdays.I told you a while ago that this was a six win team at best, even before Garrett mismanages at least two games away.

Sanic Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dumb question, why are the Colts in the AFC South? Makes no sense when it's nowhere near the sunbelt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
See Red Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dumb question, why are the Colts in the AFC South? Makes no sense when it's nowhere near the sunbelt.Without looking too far into it, it's probably just the way the divisions came together and Indy being the odd one out. Keeping Cleveland, Cincinnati, and Pittsburgh together in the North was pretty obvious, given the rivalries there. I don't know whether Baltimore/Pittsburgh was a thing yet but keeping Baltimore with Cleveland was probably a pretty obvious choice as well.

Cujo Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dumb question, why are the Colts in the AFC South? Makes no sense when it's nowhere near the sunbelt.Switching the Colts with Miami would make all the sense in the world, as the Colts were a part if the AFC East before 2002. But for whatever reason, Jets-Dolphins is a super big rivalry in the NFL's eyes. They had 2 noteworthy games (Fake Spike and Monday Night Miracle), but still not a good reason to keep the Dolphins out if the same division as the cross-state Jags.

DG_ThenNowForever Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Dolphins/Bills is the bigger rivalry, I think. The Colts were such a blah franchise for so long that I don't remember them much nattering for long portions of the 80s and 90s, let alone having a rivalry. They were the odd team out, so it made the most sense to move them. Remember when Seattle was in the AFC West? And Arizona in the NFC East? Those were fun times. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smzimbabwe Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Speaking of divisions, why when Tampa and Seattle were added in 1976, did they put the Seahawks in the NFC West, the Buccaneers in the AFC West, then moved them again the next year with Seattle in the AFC West and Tampa to the NFC Central?

wonderbread Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The thing that makes the least amount of sense to me is having dallas in the NFC east, any NFC south team could replace them and make more sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCarp1231 Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 The thing that makes the least amount of sense to me is having dallas in the NFC east, any NFC south team could replace them and make more sense. I agree with you on that... The Panthers should replace the Cowboys, but the most likely reason they keep the Cowboys in the East is to keep the Cowboys-Redskins rivalry alive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sport Posted August 13, 2014 Share Posted August 13, 2014 Cowboys-RedskinsCowboys-EaglesCowboys-Giantsall bigger rivalries than those same match ups with the Panthers instead. Plus the league is always guaranteed bigger ratings for those 6 games. Also, these teams only play once a week so geographical proximity isn't as important as it is in baseball or hockey. If I was rearranging the AFC back in 2002 I'd put Baltimore in the east, Miami in the South, and Indianapolis in the North. Indianapolis is three hours from Cincinnati. That has untapped rivalry potential. But I suppose maintaining the Miami-New York, Buffalo, New England rivalry is the same argument for the Cowboys being in the nfc east.
