Preseason cranks up tomorrow and that means we're less than a month from games that count.

This is the best time of year.

I want Chicago to try and get Bill O'Brien as Head Coach. The current Penn State coach is just the offensive mind Chicago needs. Unless Gruden wants to come to the Windy City. I'm reading rumors that Emory is looking at friends of his for the job, Atlanta's OC and Special Teams Coordinator. I hope that's false.

no offense to Bill O'Brien, but the Bears job is too big for him.

NFL jobs like the Bears should be able to pick whoever they want from the College ranks. I've seen names like Kelly, Sumlin, and even Saban thrown around with regards to the Bears. Nothing credible, but just pure speculation. But those are the type of names NFL teams should go after.

Saban actually turned down Angelo and the Bears when they came knocking on the door at his Baton Rouge home in 2004 because they didn't give him enough money or the roster powers he so coveted. He left for the Dolphins the following year.

cowboys wont be winning a thing until jerry jones relinquishes his powers as general manager. the guy has too much say and power and clearly cannot build a championship team
Agreed. He's lost his touch as he's gotten older, although he is not as inept as Al Davis was in his later years...yet.

Adrian Peterson: Tore 2 ligaments and the meniscus in his knee week 16, PUSHED himself to make week 1 the next season. In that season, he had 1016 yards... AFTER CONTACT. Coming off of that injury, had the 2nd most yards rushing, EVER, vs a 9 man front almost every play because his QB can't throw.

Peyton Manning: 3 or 4 neck surgeries, sits out a year. Joins a team that went to the playoffs with a QB as starter who could not take the starting role from MARK SANCHEZ the next season. Peyton Manning was sacked 21 times, 2nd fewest among any QB who started all 16 games, and less than 5 QB's who didn't start more than 10 games.

Peterson deserves the comeback player of the year award, all Manning had to do was stand around all day and throw the ball. Manning took a playoff team back to the playoffs, Peterson took a mostly unchanged 3-13 team to the playoffs the next year all by himself.

The only reason Tebow didn't start is because the Jets only brought in Tebow for publicity and ticket/jersey sales. Along with the fact that Rex Ryan and the Jets' front office stubbornly stuck with Sanchez even though he was stinking it up every game.

I agree that Peterson definitely should win Comeback Player of the Year.

You are really overrating the Broncos from last season.

They were a mediocre team that only made the playoffs because they played in the worst division in the NFL. There was a three way tie for the best record in the AFC West last season FFS. To say Peyton Manning's arrival didn't improve the Broncos significantly is pure ignorance. And it's not like Tebow couldn't take Mark Sanchez's job because he wasn't good enough...Tebow never became a starter with the Jets because Rex Ryan didn't want to put Tebow in as starter because he was afraid that Tebow would actually win games and blow Sanchez out of the water. So please quit using that as a reason. And LOL at you trying to downplay having multiple neck surgeries.

So did the worst division in the NFL suddenly get better this year? No, in fact they got worse. Peyton's team had a cupcake schedule and lost to the majority of the teams they faced that were playoff bound. The Vikings beat GB, Houston, and 49ers this year, one being a number 2 seed mind you, to get into the playoffs. The Vikings would be a 3 win or less team without AP. We have already seen what the Broncos and Indy are without Peyton Manning. Plus, no Percy Harvin makes Christian Ponder even less of a threat and still Peterson almost breaks Dickerson's record.

Are we going to act like Peyton didn't try to swindle 20+ million from Indy for lying about his neck and not playing last season? When Adrian Peterson got his 100 million dollar contract he stepped up his intensity. He worked hard to come back to his team because he knows they are hot garbage without him and now we are holding it against him because he only missed one game. Peyton has already robbed other more deserving people of the MVP award in the past, especially in 2009 when 40yr old Farve, Brees, and Rodgers were all outperforming him. Hell, even this year Brady, Brees, and Rodgers are still outperforming him. He doesn't need anymore awards. If you take the starting quarterback off the majority of teams in the NFL then they all become garbage. If you take Christian Ponder off the Vikings do they become garbage? No. So AP is Comeback Player of the Year and MVP. Because if AP doesn't get MVP then just change the award to MVQ (Most Valuable Quarterback) and the whole point of Comeback Player of the Year is to you know, come back and play at a high level. He did just that and very swiftly too.
