    Idiot- 6-10 REALLY? How do you come up with that? Or are you one of these idiots that just like to complain about everything? They were 8-8 last year in a down year and were not eliminated until the last day of the season. They got better on offense and defense. How do you come up with 6-10? 10-6 or 11-5. A deep playoff run once again.

    I agree with all but Jaiquawn Jarret. I would keep the rookie free agent from Syracuse over JJ.

    I keep Marvin McNutt simply because of his size and upside potential. I watched him play at Iowa and he has the skill set to be a red zone threat and a good receiver. It takes time forreceivers to learn the offense and get up to speed. I'm with you blueye7. Mardy Gilyard? Really?

    Casey Matthews? Last yr he was gifted a starting position. How'd that work out? This year, he's done absolutely nothing, and again is gifted a roster spot. Its a joke. They talk about having to cut capable football players. Well, a capable player will be on the street, while a guy if he hadnt been drafted in the 4th rd would be on the street.

    To be fair, Matthews has been injured and unable to play, so it's hard to really gauge if he improved as a player. Last year, he was unfairly thrusted into the starting lineup, and predictably, underperfomed. Shouldn't have been in that postion to start with. He'll never be a star in this league, but doesn't mean he can't contribute.

    McNutt does not have the speed to get open in the NFL; that's about it.

    I'd keep Polk as a 4th RB over Gilyard as a 6th WR

    He's right, Gilyard's been great in camp and preseason. McNutt stinks. Let him play in Iowa.

    I agree with both for the most part....Jarrett and McNutt were just poor draft picks....happens on every NFL team

    I see Les has Kafka over Edwards, even though Kafka has done zilch this pre season. If that happens, Reid's stance of jobs are awarded to those who win the competition would be a falacy.
