Status of Peyton Manning, Chris Johnson two of the biggest questions in NFL these days - Peter King - SI.com

QB Ratings

Glad to see Orton with a QB rating of 135, but when does the new QB rating on a 100 point scale that ESPN showcased this year go into effect, if at all?

If I can't have high expectations that succeed, I''d rather have high expectations and be disappointed than have low expectations and be resigned to losing.

Seeing the MSM focus on Tebow playing #3 allows the Denver Broncos to fly way under the radar in terms of what football is really about… Playing well, scoring points and winning.

Denver’s starters and NFL caliber backups are two for two in working over Dallas and Buffalo.

As our schedule is very easy to start the season, we could be looking at a nice 3-0 start that no one sees coming, least of all our opponents.

Can’t wait to see Von and Elvis pinning their ears back to destroy Andy Dalton in week 2. That game should be really fun. Same goes for Oakland’s struggling O-line in week one.

Xanders, call Seattle.. Brady Quinn and our 5th rounder for Seattle's 2012 2nd rounder (moves to a 1st if Quinn gets them to the playoffs). Time for some revenge for the Phonz trade.

NFL

is taking aggression out of football. They better be careful or they’re gonna have a bunch of guys out there thinking instead of playing the game. I just hope it doesn’t mess w/ the quality of the defense. Moores hit used be cheered, seemed the other day like everything was a contradiction. You had guys giving him props, others mad & coaches in the grey area….I mean this is football right?

Release the Tebow!

Merill Hodge had about 20 concussions as a ho-hum FB. His brain is damaged and will only get worse with age.
