No, Ghost, he also needs a brain, which Cam Newton appears have.

I'm still good with shorty and he's 4k+ passing yards as well as QB rating - both team records.

Well, Shorty is a good person and he has a brain, although apparently it
hasn't been programmed for four quarters, yet.

Two good quarters outta him is better than four quarters outta 2/3rds of the QBs in the NFL.
Though I think to be fair it's been the run first mentality. and when that doesn't work shorty starts hucking it. With what appears to be the retirement of lynch and a WR squad that is no longer pedestrian next year should be different. maybe we'll see 2.5 quarters.

Those were some good games.... unless you were rootin for the Cardinals.
If the same Denver Defense shows up... Denver will have a shot at winning this. The Panthers do have Cam...a much different animal than Carson Palmer.
PM is not going to hand it over because of getting panicked, he is to good and seasoned to do that.
to early to predict, lets see who heals up, who gets arrested before we plunk down $$$$$$$$
whats the line now 3.5??? to close

It's funny when someone (5'11") who is 1.5" taller than the average American male (5'9.5") and is considered "shorty".
It's even funnier when you see a 5'8" running back next to a 6'6" tight end.
At least in Football, at least there's some positions which don't require only tall people.
I always liked Wilson because I'm the exact same height. I think it's awesome that someone who "shouldn't be there", is.

wasn't that the line two years ago?
I'm thinking the same result.
Maybe Cam will get arrested and the Donkeys will have a chance.

I'm just hoping for a good, competitive football game I want to see "The Sheriff" walk off into the sunset with his head held high from a great final game to his awesome career. I just don't see Peyton risking it all for another year. He has enough money to last 10 families a lifetime or 2.

Going to Super Bowl Party at my daughter's house for Sunday. Bringing lots of alcoholic beverages to either celebrate the Broncos victory or drown myself after defeat. Either way, I have a hangover....

1. LAMBEAU FIELD — GREEN BAY PACKERS — 80,735
This is truly the NFL’s only historic gem, the only one that would appear on a sports bucket list. All the other stadiums are either new or concrete bowls from the 70s that have concourses as narrow as Aaron Rodgers’ passing lanes. There’s really nothing more exciting to an NFL fan than hearing “January game at Lambeau.” Also, as an aside: Green Bay has just 25,000 more residents than that capacity of Lambeau Field, which — mind blown.
25. QUALCOMM STADIUM — SAN DIEGO CHARGERS — 70,561
“A dump” without any “panache” full of “apathetic” fans who “won’t give two shakes of a rat’s tail” if the team “moves to Los Angeles” is how Qualcomm was described to me by a San Diego resident

Eli still uses Omaha. Classy for Peyton to retire on top.
I can't imagine qualcomm is worse than Oakland. That place is a dump and horrible design.

Looks like the Washington Redskins are finally changing their name.
Their old name was offensive to lots of people and brought to mind all sorts of negative connotations.
So now to avoid the association with politicians they will now be called the Maryland Redskins.

A more truthful name would be the Washington Prevaricators and their mascot could be a large slug.

Broncos QB situation depends on Kaepernick?
Apparently. Seriously hampered by the salary cap this year in finding a good enough candidate to replace the AWESOME (but now retired) Payday Manning, Mr. Elway-in-Chief has work to do.
http://www.9news.com/sports/nfl/denver-broncos/broncos-mailbag-who-will-be-the-qb/108835787
Since the Osweiler snub, the Broncos have re-signed running back C.J. Anderson on a deal that will pay him $6 million this year, and added right tackle Donald Stephenson for $6 million in 2016 pay and left tackle Russell Okung for $5 million. That’s $17 million. The Broncos offered $16.5 million a year to Osweiler.
As they sit here today, the Broncos rank 32nd in the 32-team league with less than $2 million in salary cap space.
So the Broncos cannot afford Kaepernick at his current 2016 rate of $14.3 million (which is comprised of an $11.9 million salary, a $2 million roster bonus and $400,000 workout bonus). To be clear, a trade for Kaepernick does not happen unless Kaepernick reduces his 2016 money.
In fact, that’s the biggest hang-up to a potential deal. It’s such a hang-up the Broncos and 49ers have not even seriously exchanged trade proposals involving draft picks. For now, Kaepernick’s $11.9 million salary is guaranteed. It officially becomes guaranteed Friday but the 49ers won’t cut him because Kaepernick is not healthy. He has injury protection in his contract and recent surgeries on his left shoulder, left knee and right thumb. Ka-ching!
The Broncos need Kaepernick to think long term. He can either, one, collect $12.3 million this year but follow the lead of Robert Griffin III and sit out 16 games. The 49ers would probably sit Kaepernick rather than pay him the additional $2 million roster bonus that’s tied to the game-day roster. Or, Kaepernick can play 16 games at a reduced rate for the defending Super Bowl champs. With Kaepernick at the helm, the Broncos would be a top five favorite to win Super Bowl LI.
And then Kaepernick cashes in big in 2017. For now, Kaepernick wants out of San Francisco but does not want to take a pay cut. Eventually, he will realize he can’t have both.

There, I fixed that last sentence.

They are going to have a tough time repeating. Not sure Trevor is the answer but I suppose he throws better balls than the ducks Manning was tossing at the end of last year.
Happy for all my friends that are Broncos fans around here and looking forward to an ass kicking of the Panthers. I want to see Cam pout again.
Go Seahawks!

Go Seahawks, indeed! Although where they're going without Beastie

Oh, Go Huskies!
