Pick two that are hitting the bricks next year.

1.  Mark Sanchez (Jets)
2.  Tony Romo (Cowboys)

Pick two that will rock next year, regardless of what happens in the playoffs.

1.  RG3 (Redskins)
2.  Russell Wilson (Seahawks)

Your two 'hot and not' choices are?

Alex Smith will leave SF if he doesn't play in the playoffs (which is very likely)


I think Tony Romo is safe, though he should be gone.

Sanchez has a big contract, so he's probably safe, even though he should be junked. 

Vick is gone. 
Teabag is gone. 
Carson Palmer should be gone.
Philip Rivers should be gone.

He was probably the least of the Raiders' problems this year, though he killed a few games for the Raiders with INTs at the worst possible times. And the Raiders have few other options, though Terrell Pryor looked surprisingly good in his only start yesterday and should be given a real shot next year.

The Raiders simply have too many other holes to fill before they look to dump Palmer.

I read somewhere that the Jets would take an $18 million cap hit next year if they dumped him now.

There's nothing wrong with Philip Rivers that a decent O line and some solid receivers wouldn't fix.

Last year Rivers threw to 17 different receivers!

Smith is gone either way. The 49ers can't trade Smith until March 12 but if they if they cut him before then they're only on the hook for $1 million. If they cut him after April 1 the full $8.75 million contract is guaranteed.

I feel bad for him.  All he did is get a concussion trying to get a first down!  He's still a good quarterback.  Now I'll have to cheer against him.

Well, although I'm not a fan of Sanchez, I gotta lay the lion's share of the blame on his coaching -- they did everything they could to undermine his effectiveness & confidence.  They made it clear that the Jets were never his team to lead.

Tebow, although a really nice guy (apparently), is poison to his teams (kinda like how Terrill Owens poisoned his teams).  Further, Tebow's skills are just mediocre.

The problem with the Jets is that they shot themselves in the foot when they picked up Tebow.  They were always doomed to mediocrity, but they were favorites of ESPN (who were too lazy to have a reporter in Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, Indianapolis, and other cities).  We heard more stories about Tebow than Peyton Manning, who is a leading candidate for MVP after losing last year.

Great year next year list:  Add Peyton Manning -- I think what's he's done in Denver is amazing.

Romo -- I gotta say that he has proven to be awfully inconsistent in key situations, with game-losing fumbles & interceptions not being unusual.

Smith are Vick are most likely gone. Rivers, Flacco, and Flynn may be elsewhere, as well.

Smith will rock next year in Minnesota, after they get him and Fitz in the offseason. Super Bowl, homeboy! tongue

Peyton Manning is always hot.  He's a class act leader and player.  I didn't include him on my own hot/not list because it's a given.

Romo is COMPLETELY inconsistent, and doesn't use his OL wisely.  Part of that is also the OC's problem, and Jerry Jones has his finger in the pie WAY too much.  Maybe he needs another team, I don't know, but he's not the "great" QB that everyone touted, at one point.

And Vick's days are done.  He'll be kicked to the curb.

Bronco's Offensive Coordinator Mike McCoy to the Cardinals as head coach and getting Tebow is in the rider.
Tebow as a cardinal, sniker...

But it would actually be awesome, it was McCoy who was a big part of Tebow's effectiveness with the Bronco's. They would give him a better chance. Bears would eat him alive in one season.

Tebow's gonna find a happy home someday... and when he does... he'll take whatever team he's with to the playoffs again.  I personally think he's a great QB who hasn't been given the opportunity to really shine... wink

I don't know...maybe.  He's been down a lot with those ribs, and can't seem to heal between shots.  But the hit he took in November against Dallas causing a serious concussion...that's a problem.  Even with a fitted protective skull cap under his helmet, he's a liability.

Romo is just about the only reason the Cowboys had as good of a season as they did. Look at the blocking, the wrong route running and giving up on passes that his receivers have done. Romo was forced to overcompensate for a whole host of player mishaps/laziness, and if he played on a team that actually did its job, they would be sitting pretty in the playoffs.

I don't think Tebow is  NFL starting QB caliber. Even though he gets a lot of hate on here.........and why I cannot figure, I just think people are jealous of him for some reason..........he can still help a team. He is a good team player that can fill in at times and help out on situations. But I don't think he has the tools to make a serious playoff run as a starting QB

Not so much Tebow hate but the Fla Gator Alum/fanboys here insisting that he will be the best QB in the history in the league when fact is that he will never have good enough mechanics to be an even average QB (he has the body of a powerlifter,way too much muscle mass on the upper body to be able to have even close to good enough mechanics to throw a football accurately on a consistant basis)he is an under 50% completion qb,that will not cut it in the NFL.
A good backup on a team with a lot of talent(especially a running game)to hold the fort for a few games,yeah,he can do that

Ponder provides a lot to ponder, and the Vikings will be pondering during the off season. He's not terrible, and when he runs to the right to get out of the pocket, he's very good, but the Vikings want him to stay in the pocket to throw....that's not his "comfort-zone".

Yes, they are in as a wild card, but not much credit for that belongs to Ponder. Most of it goes to Adrian Peterson. A lot will depend on Saturday's game. If Ponder can look good Saturday, and perform at least "fairly well", the starting QB spot will remain his. If he falters, they will ponder that the entire off-season.

Tebow has not been well-utilized. Ryan preferred Sanchez and that proved to be a mistake. I think Ryan would prefer that Tebow wasn't on the team, but that might simply be that Ryan doesn't like religious types. Tebow can play football, but in order to see what his capabilities are, he has to actually play. It wouldn't take a lot to play better than Sanchez, but even Dick's sporting Goods benched him. http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/tim- … ore-010213

Vick shouldn't have played in the NFL after his dog-fighting ordeal. He's a scumbag and the NFL (and the Eagles), would do well to dispose of him. As for the Eagles, Reid should never have signed him after his prison term expired. He's simply a steroid-using, admitted felon, who spreads genital herpes Vick has a contagious bad attitude that eventually cost an otherwise great coach his job.

That's not something you'd want to put on your resume. Tebow was 28th in the league last year in passer rating, completed just 46.5% of his passes, threw for 12 TDs and had 12 turnovers, and was last in the league in passing yards per game, worse than Curtis Painter, John Skelton, Matt Cassel and Colt McCoy.

IMO 90% of anyone who knows anything about football has seen enough.
Just look at the differance with the Broncos
Same WRs,same O line
Both Thomas and Decker had break out years at WR with a real QB,Manning
Same WRs,a career under 50% completion rate

I think the key thing people forget is that one man does not make a team. QBs are pretty important but it means jack all if the rest of the team aren't pulling their weight.

I'd like to see Tebow given a chance with a team prepared to take a gamble and build a team that may take a season or two to mesh, but when it does...
