Bears GM Candidates: the Draft Value System Revisited
Last week, I set out to create an objective way to measure the draft success of the Bears' GM candidates. Thanks to the helpful feedback from WCGers, I have made some refinements to my system: the numbers now make a lot more sense than they did the last time around. For your consideration, here...
Bears GM Candidates by the Numbers
Last week, I started out my article by bemoaning the complete lack of statistics to measure GM performance. This whine, however, was followed by an article almost completely lacking in any numbers of its own. To remedy this situation, I have spent the last couple of days converting the draft...
Where I Have To Vent About Jim Souhan
I like Jim Souhan. He's a great columnist, and although I can't go all Sid Hartman on you and call him a 'close, personal friend', I have met and chatted with him before when I was covering the Vikes training camp in 2006. He went out of his way to help a schlub like me out, and meeting and...
1st Round Bust No More? Alex Smith's Improvement
"Suck For Luck!" has become the rallying cry emanating from Miami, Indianapolis and even St. Louis (where apparently Sam Bradford's honeymoon is about over). Many fans of bad teams or teams with bad QB's are hoping that their team will end up atop the 2012 draft, in position to draft...
Picture Of The Game: Alex Smith And Matt Leinart
I don't know if this necessarily lends itself to Caption This (howtheyscored should be back with it next week), but it's certainly an interesting picture nonetheless. Alex Smith and Matt Leinart aren't quite as intertwined as Smith and Aaron Rodgers. At the same time, it's amazing how much has...
49ers Top 10 NFL Draft Successes: No. 1 - Frank Gore, Running Back
After a month of draft busts and successes, we've finally reached the top of the heap. My choice for the 49ers number one draft success since the 1990 NFL Draft. As I've mentioned elsewhere, it was a weak oversight on my part that I did not include 49ers great Bryant Young on this list. We'll be...
Fabian Washington Interview
Before anyone gets too excited on my abilities to get the tough interviews, this is not one I can take credit for. I was contacted by Dan Tierney from IMG Performance Institute, where Fabian is rehabbing from offseason surgery in his home town of Bradenton, Florida. IMG Academies consider...
Wednesday Notes: Lions Line Up More Visits with Free Agents
Defensive tackle Grady Jackson, who last played for the Falcons, is expected to sign today if he passes a physical. The deal will reportedly be two or three years long. Tight end L.J. Smith, formerly of the Eagles, was reportedly headed to Michigan last night and will probably meet with the...
49ers QB Alex Smith on IR
Former #1 Overall pick Alex Smith will miss the entire 2008 season with a shoulder injury. The good news? He as a back up. http://www.profootballtalk.com/2008/09/10/smith-lands-on-ir/ Less than two days after quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ career with the Packers unofficially began,...
Cedric Benson Released by the Chicago Bears
After his 2nd alcohol related arrest in less than a month, the Chicago Bears have cut ties with running back Cedric Benson. How about that 2005 NFL draft top 10? Let's review: 1. Alex Smith- Bust 2. Ronnie Brown- A lot of potential but also a lot of injuries 3. Braylon Edwards- Star 4. Cedric...
