This. 1st week and the Pats are used to coming back at the end. Why risk more injury to Gronk at this point in the season?
BTW, thanks Linderbee for making me look good 17 minutes before I posted. :D
I agree. Great defense, bad OL and an untested running game...could've described us a few years ago - sans a qb. To offset that, they do have great coaching.
They'll be in it to the end but I think they'll fall short. Well, that's my story anyway.
Interesting that Lindley is brought up. I would put he and Barkley in the same catagory.
I realize they can bring him back, I just wonder why they would want to. o_O
I'm not trying to argue with you, I was just curious who's #2 you would prefer. I would even agree with a couple of your choices but, Kap? McCarron? Freaking Weeden? C'Mon Man!
No disrespect, but who's #2 would you rather have...other than Barkley (which is one of our own)?
The only #2's I can remember with the Cards that I liked were Lomax - behind Hart - and Lienart behind Warner. Stanton behind Palmer hasn't worked out so badly.
I'm just talking about when it counts. I've seen Stanton against 1st team defenses in real-time. I just haven't seen it with Barkley yet. JMHO, but Stanton compared to Anderson and Skelton just seems a bit off.
IDK, Stanton filled in well for CP a couple of years ago when nobody expected it. Barkley really hasn't done anything in the NFL yet. These games just don't excite me all that much.
