NFC North/NFL Thread 2016-17

One of my best moments as a Dolphins fan: Just for the heck of it, I went to the Week 17 Packers game that year, and wore my Jay Fiedler jersey under my winter gear. (Pennington was the QB that year, but my Jay Fiedler jersey is always relevant).  Packers played at noon, and Jets-Dolphins for the division was at 3:15.  Went to the bars in GB after the game, and for the first and last time in my life, my money was no good. Must have been the most popular guy in the place, and the joint went bonkers for Favre's pick-6 in the 2nd qtr and game sealing pick in the 4th.

This story an excellent microcosm of my life as a Jets fan.

Its a choice. I don't think someone turning down an offer they think is too low especially in the process is a bad thing. I didn't jump on my first job offer after grad school because I thought it was too low. I stayed unemployed for a little while longer and eventually another offer came for significantly more money. It was the right decision. One season ending injury to a starter and Kaepernick is likely to get a better offer.

Not while Shaun Hill is still a free agent.

Blind QB test (no peeking!).
Which of these guys aren't good enough for the NFL?
Last 10 NFL starts:

QB #3
181 for 286, 63.2 pct., 2,208 yards, 7.7 Y/A, 11 TDs, 10 INTs, 85.2 rating

QB #4

QB #5
226 for 365, 61.9 pct., 2,239 yards, 6.1 Y/A, 18 TDs, 10 INTs, 84.2 rating

Pakuni, the suspense is killing me.

Interesting factoid reading the Bills entry on Deadspin's "Why Your Team Sucks."

The Bills are 4-30 versus the Patriots since 2001.  And each of the seasons where the Bills have managed a win, the Patriots have made the Super Bowl - winning three times.

Pakuni, the suspense is killing me.

I thought you'd never ask!

1. Joe Flacco
2. Russell Wilson
3. Jay Cutler
4. Colin Kaepernick
5. Eli Manning

If Kaepernick has played too poorly recently to be worthy of an NFL job, what the heck are those guys doing in the league as starters (and earning, on average, $18.5 million this year)?
And these are just passing stats, excluding the rushing element Kap can bring (468 yards/6.8 ypc last year).
