      <p>I just wanted the Pats to lose. :mocking:</p>
      <p> </p>
      <p>If it's Broncos vs. Panthers, then we'll see two of the best defences in a SB match-up.  I just think Carolina is on a mission and in Cam Newton they have a running back who just happens to throw really well too.</p>

        <p>Happiest man after the games today (one game in particular) is this guy:</p>

        <p>AFC Championship was one for the ages while Arizona just wasn't ready for the big show. Have to back my boy Cam since he won me the fantasy football title but wouldn't mind seeing Peyton and his big forehead ride off into the sunset with the Vince Lombardi trophy.</p>

          <p>A few stats from ESPN:</p>
          <p> </p>
          <p>The Broncos equal the record for the most Super Bowl appearances now (8) with 3 other teams but the less said about their record the better.</p>
          <p> </p>
          <p>We will have the best defence (Broncos) vs the best offence (Panthers) in terms of points scored per game.  Carolina has the no.2 defence.</p>
          <p> </p>
          <p>The first Super Bowl with both QBs being the no.1 pick in their draft.</p>
          <p> </p>
          <p>These teams haven't played each other since 2012.</p>

            It is simple: stop Cam, Broncos win. Don't stop Cam, Panthers win in a rout.

              <p>Broncos did a great job on stopping Brady at key times. Trouble is that those defensive moves on him have now been broadcast. They may have had to play that card early.</p>

                <p>Newton is everything Brady and Manning aren't - quick and mobile.  If the Broncos defensive line can't dominate the Panthers offensive line then Cam will have plenty of time to find his receivers, and find holes for the RBs.  He's also a huge threat to run himself.</p>

                  <p>NFL Free Agency has started. Welcome to the offseason.</p>
                  <p> </p>
                  <p>Most of the storyline is around the Superbowl Champion Denver Broncos. First Peyton rides off into the sunset  a champion, and now Brocky O has bolted to the Texans for a $72 million deal. That leaves the Broncos with this guy as their current QB:<br>
                   </p>
                  <p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/3c/Trevor_Siemian.JPG/225px-Trevor_Siemian.JPG" alt="225px-Trevor_Siemian.JPG"></p>
                  <p> </p>
                  <p>Know him? <br><br>
                  So what do Denver do? Reports are flying around that the Broncos will sign either RGIII or Ryan Fitzpatrick, or draft either Connor Cook or Dak Prescott and start em straight away. Two trade options are Tampa Bay's Mike Glennon or:<br><br><img src="http://i.perezhilton.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/04/colin-kaepernick-denies-reports-of-sexual-assault.gif" alt="colin-kaepernick-denies-reports-of-sexua"></p>
                  <p> </p>
                  <p>This guy. San Fran says he is the starting QB for 2016 but his agent (apparently) says his client wants a trade. Something is gonna give.<br><br>
                  If CKap really wants out then the 49ers should sign RGIII and have him compete with Blaine Gabbert for the starting role, draft Oregon's Vernon Adams in the later rounds of the draft and trade CKap to the AFC.</p>

                      <p>Texans also signed a good young running back in Lamar Miller. But I don't see Brock as a big upgrade over Hoyer tbh. At least not for $72 million.</p>

                        <p>He did this purely for the guaranteed money (which is a lot).  I hope the cash is sufficient compensation for when he's getting his ass handed to him playing for that franchise.  He'd probably have had more fun and success with Denver but it's all about the benjamins and fair go I guess</p>

                          It's a massive gamble by the Texans. Brock looked okay but is still essentially unproven, especially for that money

                            By the way, i would take C-Kap in a heartbeat.

Time will tell if Brock is any good

                                  <p>Knowing our luck CKap will end up taking Denver back to the SB 😞  After a few years in the sun SF have gone back to being the dumpster fire they've been since the De Bartolo years</p>

                                        I'd rather persist with Kaepernick but it appears he's gone. Might need to keep Gabbert, Kelly will get the most out of him, and get a QB in the draft

                                          <p>The Cleveland Browns have signed RGIII to a 2 year deal so it looks like they won't be drafting a QB in the first round (but target someone like Connor Cook or Vernon Adams in the later rounds). However the 49ers will (probably) take a QB with their pick (either Goff or Wentz) and trade Kap to the Broncos who are now desperate for a QB.</p>
