Oh, Lord. They just rang the dinner bell for the crazies.

But Reid as the 3rd best coach really isn’t unreasonable. I’d put him behind Belichik, obviously, and Sean Payton. After that, it’s between him, Mike McCarthy and Mike Tomlin. I don’t necessarily agree that he’s better than those two, but I can see the argument.

Made me chuckle

The Eagles have 3 NFL Championships. How many does your team have Dallas fans? Oh yeah, zero.

I don’t want us to draft a linebacker in the first round unless it’s Von Miller. I have a feeling Von Miller is the next James Harrison/Demarcus Ware.

I think he’d be better in a 3-4 not a 4-3

I wouldnt put Tomlin ahead of Reid AT ALL. Tomlin won 1SB with all of Cowher’s players that had won 3 years prior. Cowher in my mind should have stayed with the Steelers and tried to actually accomplish something besides taking the SB ring and walking away. In my eyes Jim Caldwell is on the same level as Tomlin(just Tomlin is more charismatic). If Caldwell beats the Saints in the Superbowl-it would be more a credit to Dungy than to Caldwell..I’d say. Tomlin to me is the same way. I’ll give him the Superbowl appearance this passed year, but in terms of being able to consistently put out a winner and reach championship games and produce a good team year in and year out…Tomlin is far off.

I would put Tomlin ahead of Reid

The AFC is a tougher conference with teams like Baltimore, New England, New York Jets, and Indianapolis Colts and he managed to get them to two Super Bowls in three years, winning one.

Reid arguably had the best defensive coordinator in the league in Jim Johnson, and has yet to win a Super Bowl. Especially when he should have won the NFC Championship game in 2003 and 2004, but lost them both at home.

“He’s an awesome player,” Jackson said. "And for myself to even be playing with him, especially growing up watching that man do the things he’s done …. I’m really happy to be playing with him — myself, [Jeremy] Maclin and [LeSean] McCoy — we’re all excited about this 2012 season coming up. We’re ready to get back going.

Fraudian slip or typo?
