I didn't see the story related to the pole, my wife sent me the screen shot.
I'm not even sure how recent it is.
Anyway it's interesting. Anybody know the story, or the context surrounding it.

I didn't see that but someone needs to send this to Seahawks coaching staff...Darrell Bevell in particular. j/k

Seriously, I believe it's about the changes to the PAT they are discussing at the owner's meetings. I'm not fond of changing things that aren't broke. I don't believe the current system is broke.

Yea, I guess that my main question.
Was curious what spin they put on it, and how they picked the participants.
Wonder if they had SB49 in mind.

Lynch is good enough for a 2 pter but not good enough from the one yd line to win the super bowl....

Yeah definitely not good enough, which is why the Hawks re-signed him to big money and gave him the ball on the play before :roll:

I was waiting for a comment like this one. Came later than expected

I seriously laughed out loud when I saw Tebow in there and in 2nd place no less. The Christianity is strong with this society. :16:

Tebow might be on this poll because the Eagles want the 2 pointer moved to the 1 yard line. Aka.. Tebow's money area.

I keep seeing that ridiculous stat about Lynch's percentage at the goal line and yet ignoring how grossly inadequate NE was at the goal line.

Also, regardless of the time management issues and the call, if Russ puts that ball between the numbers the worst possible outcome is an incomplete pass, but it was in front and above the shoulder. You don't have the luxury of throwing to the slot on timing in that football situation. The coaching staff is absolutely as accountable as Russ, but even with the worst playcall in superbowl history, the QB threw an inaccurate, very dangerous pass. As much as Russ has owned that and how it haunts him, it's funny that so many can't.

1) We'll be back
2) Russ Has earned a Tier 2 QB contract. No more, no less.
3) Bad clock management factored into the worst decision in Superbowl history. Lynch would have gotten in within two tries. He didn't need a 3rd against that horrible goal line defense.

EXACTLY! Tebow came in a close second, and with Bevell banging the table for him, Coach Carroll is sure to sign him! That way, no way we tell Tebow to throw the ball with the SUperbowl on the line!


Sorry, went off the deep end there for a moment. :dummy:

I don't know any context behind the picture, but it reeks of something that ESPN would do. They probably came up with a poll with 10 options, and included Tebow as an option or something to generate controversy. God, the mainstream media sucks so bad. (Again, just complete speculation, it's totally possible Tebow was just a write-in candidate or something.)

Why is Tebow even in the conversation?

Because like 5 years ago when he was in college he was particularly good at these situations. makes sense, right? :roll:

Tebow really is extremely deadly around the goal line. He's almost as tough a runner as Lynch, he's bigger, he gets to take the snap directly, and there is the element of the pass. Obviously he's nowhere the player that Lynch is, but don't short him as a short-yardage threat.
