I'm throwing the BS flag.

There is never, ever, EVER a time 44 pts shouldn't be enough...

If one wanted to be cautious, start next season and see how he performs over the first four games. If it's abundantly clear that his playoff performance is roughly how he's going to play moving forward--I say "roughly" because it's grossly unfair to expect quite that same level of excellence continually--then be prepared to pay even more and get the deal done in-season.

If he regresses to his play in early '13, however, then caution would result in, likely, a bit of savings.

He had a chance to seal it like a Brady/Manning showdown.

I care about wins. Those numbers in the playoff game were incredible, but I want wins. He's shown that he can do that. It was one game, but it erased pretty much every doubt I had about him. He played his best game ever on the biggest stage without his biggest weapon.

I also don't see why he couldn't post really good numbers with improved receivers.

I don't buy for a second he's going to get a 6 year extension worth 100 million. I think it's going to be a 3 year extension in the high 40 million dollar range that will either be spread out for cap purposes with a few extra fluff years (see Cutler) or be around 6 for 85-90 with an out after 2-3 years.

And at this point you need to realize that Brady or Manning lost that game...

Listen to yourself.

Ok, we had a chance for our D to prevent them from scoring like a DT/Smith/Hasty showdown.

Did they do it?

Did any defensive player decide to take the game over in the 2nd half?

No...

You are bar none the worst poster on this site. You're a full of shit blowhard who constantly posts garbage that's so off the mark that it's embarrassing.

Clay has his warts, but he'll admit when he's been wrong. You offer nothing close to that.

Fist yourself, dbag.

Rausch, you bigass redheaded German, which one is it, define it once and for all... is Smith worthwhile or is he garbage... we need to know for sure.

Smitty's performance against the Colts was weak sauce or what? The same weakass Colts defense that beat the Niners on the road or who beat the Broncos or Seahawks?... quit riding the fence and get on Teh Ship... Smith did everything necessary to win against a defense that beat Kaep, Manning and Wilson.

What else do you need?

Ed* my tippling may have made me see your posts in the wrong light, forgive or dont... DA HUUUS GAH

Of course you are wrong you shitbag. You're always wrong.

My point is in the NFL presently you HAVE to win those track meets if shit happens. Alex blew his chance

Yeah, again my point stands

No one gives a **** what you have to say.

No, he took the most of his opportunities and his team let him down.

He beasted.

I'm not ready to crown him, but, on a one game basis, I'd crown his ass.

Our defense COMPLETELY let us down.

LOL I don't think he's Bono. Tribal compared him to Bono early in the season.

Reid has some responsibility in that. He was calling screen passes all the 2nd half instead of deep passes.
