one of the better QBs in the league, he just needs a little time.

No, he needs a rear view mirror on his helmet! LOL

The dude can throw a ball 80 yards (while standing still, mind you),
but he can't see a sack comin' or shake the fumble-itis....

have. Zorn just got his feet wet. Wait till he is really settled. Things will
get done!

Agreed. Zorn can't PLAY for 'em too. I think he's done very well, and a
6-2 start for a rookie coach is awesome. He'll be back.

Good news . . . I played QB for several years, and I know that the eye in the back of the helmet thing and not fumbling are LEARNED skills.

Already, look at what Zorn taught him about keeping the legs moving and throwing from a solid base. He has already shown a great learning curve.

The best is yet to come. Great quarterbacks take time to develop.

TRUE. Their backup (Brennan) is no slouch either, but painfully
inexperienced. The pros are a huge step from a hugely successful U of
Hawaii team that played...who?

Nobody. hahaha

The NE game was a pitiful rout, and hardly worth watching, except for the
fans tossing snowballs after every score.

Good times. hahahaha

sorry to the Pats fans... but I do not want them in the playoffs.. They are getting pretty hot right about now.. shame an 11-5 team could miss the playoffs, while a shitty Denver or San Diego team could get in at 8-8

Tell me about it Bro...

Philly is in with a TIED game this year, but has to win this week.

The Redskins will prolly go 9-7 and not make it.

Phoenix is 8-7 and still in after the drubbing NE gave 'em.

It's not right I tell ya.

now here is an interesting question. Is Tom Brady's days in New England numbered, or will he be a 49'er next year?

You mean Matt Cassel?

Soup4Rush · Post by **Soup4Rush** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:41 am

just curious what New England is going to do. They proved there is no loyalty even with legends. Just curious what they will do.. Cassel is 5 years younger with good knees. Everybody thought NE was done when Brady went down, me included... but It looks like they are the hottest team right now when it matters.. If they get in to the playoffs, they could be very dangerous from the 3 seed.

I don't see what difference a #3 makes.

They'd be dangerous even as a wild card team this year.

#3 gives them at least one game at home, and possibly the AFC championship at home. thats the path the Colts took in 06. seriously if NE gets in as the 3 seed, we could see a Colts/Pats AfC championship game in Foxboro, something I would not be very thrilled with. I think TN and Pit will get beat in the divisonal round, I think they are both very overrated and having problems down the stretch. The Colts and Pats are both pretty hot right now, and they have a ton of playoff experience.

Soup4Rush · Post by **Soup4Rush** » Mon Dec 22, 2008 9:02 am

but if Miami beats the Jets next Sunday, that is a mute point, because the Pats will stay home which even though I would like that, somehow it would just not be right.

You KNOW I'm down with the horse 100% Bro, but Tennessee is on a
MISSION.

Indy could just as well be going to Nashville...just sayin'.

TN got beat by Houston two weeks ago.. I know the Colts have been squeaking by, but good teams always find a way to win. The Colts have won 8 in a row, and they have playoff experience and Manning... I really like the Colts chances this year..
