New England will be okay in the end, I think, because the AFC East isn't exactly treacherous.

Jacksonville just doesn't have much talent on their roster. They've won with less, I suppose.

ballsy...Id like to get Rex Ryan to respond to this post please. I actually think the Sanchise and Shonn Green makes a jump to avg or maybe a smich above avg and the Jets take the division. Keeping Santonio is gonna turn out to be huge for them.

Well, I don't think Sanchez or Green is a good player, so if the Jets are going to rely on improvement from within to drive their 2011 through 2013 teams...well they really should have considered keeping more of their draft picks from the last three years.

They were all in on Asomugha. They did get lucky that Cromartie and Pool took less money to stay, which should help stave off the decline of their defense for a little while longer.

Grant Paulsen Predicts Kelly Will Be Cut « CBS Washington

“I also think he will be one of the first guys scooped up by another team because 6′ 4″ wide receivers with hands, who can out leap people, with good speed, have as many lives in football as left-handed pitchers who throw hard in baseball.”

I feel badly for Kelly. From this interview, it sounds like he's pretty much reading the writing on the wall. Such a tough business.

Malcolm is a cool dude, I was really pulling for him but it looks like his chances have ran out.

Ouch. Count me in among those who wish it would've worked out for him. Like you said, it sucks that there are a-holes in the NFL that take being elite for granted and one of the true good guys can't catch a break with the injuries.

At the same time though, this is a business, and we've wasted a roster spot for 3 years straight, and it looks like that trend will continue this season unless he gets cut. I hope whatever his next plan is works out better than this one.

I always had high expectations for Kelly. Unfortunately, he just couldn't stay healthy. Shame.

[Kindoy]

I really wish we could keep him around. He has all the potential in the world and everyone & their mother knows it. True professional as well.

[MTK]

Sucks for MK but I'm kinda done with feeling bad for the guy. He simply can't stay healthy. All the potential in the world doesn't mean crap if you can't get on the field and play.

Time to move on.

i agree we need to let him go, i guess i'm just a little more sympathetic.

[tryfuhl]

I feel bad for Kelly but not enough to continue this futile exercise.

[SmootSmack]

I think had it been just about anyone else, they would have given up on Kelly a while ago. But he's such a popular guy with everyone at Redskins Park they really wanted to see him succeed.
