Favorite NFL Team for posters?

  • Washington Redskins for me.

    I am praying they sign Robert Meachem this off-season.!

  • I'm a bandwagon fan when it comes to the NFL. I use to like the Cowboys but after Jerry fired Jimmy Johnson my passion for them faded. Then I started liking Tampa Bay but they fired Gruden so my passion faded. Then I started really liking the Colts but Peyton may never play for them again so I don't really have a team right now..

    If I had to pick I guess I'd say 49ers because I really like Harbaugh and Patrick Willis. Right there in the mix though is the Colts, Lions, Saints, Dolphins, Texans, Titans, Cowboys, Bucs, and Ravens.

  • Nahh I'm just gonna go ahead and claim the Texans. I love Arian.

  • Panthers fan. Was irate when they chose Cam! Thought with the hardest schedule and our need at WR we should select Green from Ga and wait on Luck. But they did what they did and it worked out. Plus Steve Smith is very happy now and will probably retire a Panther. Cam looks great so far but must keep progressing. Both my teams have bright futures and I couldn't be happier.

  • I like the Vols so I usually go for whichever team has the most former players on the team! I go to Titans games and I want them to win it just doesn't matter if they don't!

    Cincinnati Bengals.

    Have to love what the Bengals have, though i do question Dalton as a pro prospect still. I think Green is the best WR prospect since Moss, and that includes Calvin. Green has the two things that made Moss so special, body control and hands. I know that Moss had unreal speed, but it was his ability to contort his body and snatch anything that separated him to me.

    With two first round picks, i am very interested to see how they build this team. I think Scott will emerge as a running back next year. I would love to see them draft a Corner back with their first pick, and see Wright from Baylor slip to them with their second. Green and Wright would make an amazing young passing duo.

    I want to see if they can continue to build that offense. Another WR, and some offensive linemen, to go with their tight ends (if shockey comes back), running backs, and smith would make that offense just scary. The only worry i have with them is centered around their cap issue.

    You guys could have as much as 26 mil to spend in free agency, which is boss. Now, obviously some of that will go to Welker, and your own guys, but could position you nicely. Also, it seems like Lloyd will be coming to play with you guys, if Rams do not franchise him.

    Carry-over cash, cap space give some NFL teams money to spend

    That certainly appears to be the case for the Miami Dolphins and a number of NFL teams heading into

  • I'll take Dre Kirkpatrick and Michael Floyd. Or maybe Alshon Jeffery or a running back. shrug

    I do like floyd.

    I worry that Kirkpatrick is not a good enough corner, wonder if he ends up at safety. Alshon, reminds me so much of Mike Williams from USC. He is a really good college WR, but seems like some offensive linemen can get down the field faster then him.

    At running back, would love to see them get a Lamichael (sp?) James in the second round. Scott, James, Green, Gresham would make a solid foundation

    Oh, and you guys should have a butt load of Cap Space, if what i have seen is correct. So, free agency could be kind to you.

  • Minnesota Vikings!! Born and raised in Tennessee, but growing up there were no NFL franchises in the state. Closest were the Falcons and they stunk. The vikings were a dominant team at the time and i loved Tarkenton, Foreman, the purple people eaters. And i dug their helmet too. Hey, i was 7 years old, what can i say. Been a die hard fan every since.

    frostyvol

  • We will also have two draft picks in the 1st & 2nd rounds, & one in the 3rd.

    Brady's contract is up in 2014 & he will be 37 years old. I could see Coach BB & the FO trying to load up this offseason kind of like they did back in '07 to try & make one last run at a Super Bowl.

    We need to add at least one more good WR & some secondary help. I'd like to see us re-sign Welker, BJGE, & Andre Carter.

    One of my really good friends is a die hard Vikes fan, and a member on here, i will have to tell him to get on and look at this.

    I really like Ponder as a QB, he was one of my big sleepers last year in the draft. Peterson injury kills, but i am a huge fan at the moment, because i want them to trade with the Skins so we can get Griffin.

    I have such a love hate relationship with Patriots.

    Randy moss is my second favorite player all time, Art Monk first, and them giving him a shot made me happy.

    Also, i am obsessed with the draft, and no one is more entertaining, or ingenious with the draft than them.

  • A fellow Tennessean Vikings fan. That's hard to find. I think a lot of us would like to see Vols play for their team, but as a Vikings fan, I would hate to see Peyton in purple because of the bandwagon fans. I love Peyton, but I don't want him in purple.

    I think he would be horrible for Ponder, too.

  • Carolina Panthers! And unlike Myrtlevol, I was totally excited that Cam was the choice. Always good to pick up(however rare) a rookie with a year's experience of being a paid athlete under his belt. Hated him then, love him now.

    BUTCH IS NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART. GO VOLS!

  • I'd love for the vikings to trade down and stockpile some picks, but they dont have the best history on draft day as you might recall..I like Ponder, but it's too early to try and make judgments on him. He still has plenty of time to be boom or bust. Clearly his team going forward though. Was only a matter of time with AD, the way he runs. Afraid this wont be the last of his injuries. Love the guy and he runs fierce, but the shelf life is a concern. Would like to see us pick up some help on the back end defensively this year, maybe Mo Claiborne, and a threat at WR, but really we have needs all over. Good luck to your skin's this year. Cant say i have a fondness for them. Still remember the NFC championship game from '88 when Darren Nelson had the TD in the endzone to tie the game with a minute left and refs ruled he didnt hold it long enough before Darrel Green knocked it out of his hands. That one still smarts to this day. But that's just one of many sore spots for us viking fans...
