      Richardson looks like a franchise back, and he was nicked up a bit last year, but I could see him being something special on a good team.
      It might be a good trade for both teams. It's pretty obvious that Weeden isn't the answer, so they have Richardson getting worn down in an offense with a decent o-line but no one decent at QB or receiver. Their defense isn't horrible. They have some pieces in place, but lack skill players on offense.

      The jury is somewhat out on Indy. They're 1-1, but have already played two home games. Tennessee looks halfway decent, Houston is 2-0 but has struggled to get there. Then they're also playing the NFC West and the surprisingly good AFC West this year. I can see them going anywhere from 6-10 to 9-7. The pick they gave to Cleveland could be a mid-round first round pick or it could be in the top 10. They have receivers and a really good young QB. Their defense is atrocious.

      If Cleveland ends up in the top 3, then they can land Bridgewater or Boyd. They can also trade back and load up on even more picks. If they're outside of the top 3, they can move up. I'm inclined to believe they're tanking for a QB and then will spend the other first round pick on a top WR prospect.

      The Seahawks and to a lesser extent the Niners have shown the competitive advantage under the new CBA of having a lot of their key players on their rookie contracts. Mike Lombardi is loading up on high draft picks for this reason. He also knows they're not doing anything meaningful as long as Weeden is their QB.

      Part of it is based on academic grounds. Among major conferences, the Pac-10 is the best academically, largely because of Stanford, Cal and UCLA. “Colorado is on a par with Oregon,” he said. “Utah isn’t even in the picture.”

          I also didn't mention that I don't think the Colts could get someone as good as Richardson with their first rounder in 2014. Given that they already have a QB and good receivers, the trade makes a ton of sense for them. On the flip side, the Browns know they suck and for them Richardson makes the difference between going 4-12 and 6-10. 6-10 ain't going to get it done in the Bridgewater-Clowney-Boyd sweepstakes this year. It's a choice of keeping Richardson and settling on the #3 QB in the draft, or getting Bridgewater/Boyd (probably Boyd, Jacksonville looks like the runaway leader for Bridgewater's services) and landing another skill player in the mid first round.

            Is Peyton Hillis available?

                Boy this has to be really gratifying for Andy Reid: taking KC from 2-14 last season to 3-0 and a win in Philadelphia. I'm happy for him. Eagles fans suck -- booing when Brandon Flowers is legitimately injured.

                  Alex Smith as well. He may just dink and dunk his way to the playoffs. I bet KC wishes it was in the NFC East right about now.

                  Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

                    Yeah ... I don't see any way the beat the Broncos to win the division, barring Peyton Manning dying or something. Maybe they can nab a wildcard spot though. I wouldn't mind that.

                      They've got a pretty nice defense.

                      They'll win double digit games.

                        The AFC west is no longer the push over division it was a few years ago when 9 and 7 would win it.

                          Three years ago the NFC West was the pushover division, with Seattle winning the division with a losing record. Now they have arguably the top 2 teams in Football, and improving Rams and Cardinals teams.

                          Parity is a great thing in the NFL. You may be down, but if you're smart and build right, you won't be down for long.

                              I said if you were smart and built right. The Raiders couldn't be more opposite than that.
