The whole mechanic of draft pick investment shifted a bit anyway. There's little prohibitive about rookie contracts now, even Cam Newton's is quite alright. And yeah, Bradford's hardly cripples the team.
Kelley doesn’t believe in punting. His Bruins teams go for it on fourth down, even in the most extreme situations. His playbook is filled with tricks and gimmicks. He often forbids his players to return punts, reckoning that the odds of a fumble outstrip the incremental yards that can be gained from a return. After his team scores, it almost always attempts an onside kick.
...
According to Kelley’s statistics, when a team punts from near its end zone, the opponent will take possession inside the 40-yard line and will then score a touchdown 77 percent of the time. If it recovers on downs inside the 10, it will score a touchdown 92 percent of the time. “So [forsaking] a punt, you give your offense a chance to stay on the field,” he said. “And if you miss, the odds of the other team scoring only increase 15 percent. It’s like someone said, ‘[Punting] is what you do on fourth down,’ and everyone did it without asking why.”

With Kelley calling plays, Pulaski scored on its first drive. Naturally, the Bruins then attempted an onside kick, which they recovered. Soon, they scored another touchdown. They repeated the drill — onside kick, recovery, touchdown — again. And then again. With 8:35 left in the 12-minute first quarter, Cabot trailed Pulaski 29-0 and had yet to run a play from scrimmage.

That loss wasn't McNabb's fault. Like, at all. I'm not sure what happened in that game, anyway. Both teams looked completely different in both halves, and it wasn't the first time that happened for either team.UniversalWolf said:I've been listening to the Vikings fan call-in show after the game today. Too funny. McNabb's going to get run out of his third city after this season, even though it's not entirely his fault. I actually feel bad for Peterson, though. His talent should be showcased with a better franchise.
