For modern TE's is lining up in the slot really that out of the ordinary?  Looking at it from that viewpoint he lined up 78% percent of the time either in-line or in the slot and just 22% of the time out wide.
 
 
Anyway, Sando polled 26 NFL insiders—identified only as "[e]ight general managers, two former GMs, four pro personnel evaluators, seven coordinators, two head coaches, two position coaches, and a top executive"—to rank every starting QB from No. 1 to No. 32. Sando's insiders graded each QB on a scale of one to five, with one being best and five being worst.

And, as the headline atop this post already told you, Geno Smith of Your New York Jets came in dead last. Your iPhone made a similar assessment last season, albeit before Smith's strong finish. But now? In a league in which Ryan Fitzpatrick and Brian Hoyer are veteran starters?

In the ESPN poll, Smith's league-worst average score was 4.48. Sando writes:

It's too early to write off Smith. Some coaches in particular had a hard time placing any QBs in the fifth tier. To them, a Tier 5 QB would be a backup, not a starter.
"Would a five be an Akili Smith or JaMarcus Russell?" one coordinator asked. "I think the way Geno Smith played last year was close to that. He was a rookie and he struggled and some of his reads were poor, but I would give him a four."

"He is young enough to make a move," a pro personnel evaluator said.

Those ESPN insiders are not the ones to ask. They're so far up Andrew Luck's *** it's ridiculous. He's already better than Rivers?

they are just general insiders not specifically espns. "Anyway, Sando polled 26 NFL insiders—identified only as "[e]ight general managers, two former GMs, four pro personnel evaluators, seven coordinators, two head coaches, two position coaches, and a top executive"—"
 
Jay Culter is overrated, takes too many risks. Also, RGIII has a large upside, still believe in him as a player.

[h2]McAfee, Fleener help upgrade veteran’s home[/h2]
With or without the Fourth of July looming, it’s always appropriate to acknowledge the sacrifices made by American troops.  Colts punter Pat McAfee  and tight end Coby Fleener  recently did just that, transforming the home of Bronze Star and Purple Heart recipient Erich Orrick.

Orrick, who volunteers his time to Wish for Our Heroes, found himself on the receiving end of the group’s generosity.  After sending Orrick and his family on a weekend trip to Chicago, McAfee, Fleener, and others secretly overhauled Orrick’s home.

Here’s a video  of how it all went down.  With that effort, McAfee and Fleener have joined NFL players like Jared Allen  in assisting veterans who have suffered injuries while serving the country.

You can help, too.  By texting “AMERICA” to 20222, $10 will be donated to the Wish for Our Heroes group.

 
:lol @ stafford, romo, foles and Ryan ahead of Killa Cam.

This is a joke right?
