For which NFL QB's is it a make or break year? - amoxy Aug 28, 08:02 21
- Vick - unless he shows some greatness I don't see him having a starting job again -- nm - decline Aug 28, 08:12
- Cutler. Contract year with (finally) an offensive minded and creative coach and weapons. -- nm - pmb Aug 28, 08:12
- I'd throw Cam on this list. Matt Flynn? -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:07 10
  - Cam has proven himself as a bona fide starter. Out of the other players mentioned, only Freeman and Bradford or even close. -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:11 1
    - Dammit, autocorrect. - David Aug 28, 08:12
  - Nah. He took a minor step back from the greatest rookie QB season ever. - Inigo Aug 28, 08:09 3
    - If they do not make the play-offs... -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:09 2
      - Playoffs are not a realistic expectation for that team given their talent level and division. -- nm - Inigo Aug 28, 08:12 1
        
        *snort* -- nm - Andrew Luck Aug 28, 08:18
  - Is Matt Flynn a starter? -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:08 2
    - Oakland -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:08 1
      - Yeah, but is Matt Flynn a starter? -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:09
  - I can see Cam, but I am not sure if Flynn even gets the starting nod - amoxy Aug 28, 08:08
- Sam Bradford, for sure. -- nm - Jim Aug 28, 08:06
- Kaepernick. nm -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:05 2
  - ?? -- nm - amoxy Aug 28, 08:07 1
    - flash in the pan? -- nm - groiny Aug 28, 08:08
- At his age, Wheeden. -- nm - David Aug 28, 08:05
- Rivers. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:04 2
  - Disagree. He's already a break which was determined years ago. -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 08:06 1
    - Partially agree but with a new coach, things change. -- nm - Spawn Aug 28, 08:08

      - With all of the media coverage of the sequestration and the budget battles, I bet if you asked most people they would say the government has shrunk. - spamlet Aug 28, 08:13 1
        
        [deleted]
- the people get the government they deserve -- nm - Strongbad Aug 28, 07:43 4

I've been having trouble with a package I'm supposed to be receiving - I'm not sure if the issue is with UPS or the company shipping it. - kelly Aug 28, 06:48 12
- you should call UPS and see if they can help you. like, a person. not an automated system. -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 06:56 1
  - yeah call them (phone is 800-742-5877 ) -- nm - decline Aug 28, 06:59
- The tracking for UPS is pretty much worthless.....for me it's routinely a few days late being updated - prayformojo Aug 28, 06:53 8
  - Heh. The rep I spoke to told me pretty much this. "Sometimes our system doesn't update until after the package has been delivered." - kelly Aug 28, 07:07 5
    - it's probs not UPS that's doing the delivery then but USPS. UPS is *crackerjack.* it's when they contract out that info updating sucks. -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 07:11 2
      - Maybe, but UPS has delivered every other package from them, so I'm guessing it is UPS again this time. -- nm - kelly Aug 28, 07:16 1
        
        sorry I couldn't be more help! -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 07:29

      - I know, right? - kelly Aug 28, 07:12
  - I have this with USPS and "smartpost" but not UPS -- unless UPS is acting as an agent for the USPS. -- nm - amanda hk Aug 28, 06:55 1
    - sorry, sorry, I completely misread. nevermind -- nm - prayformojo Aug 28, 07:00
- it seems unlikely that it wouldn`t have been scanned *somewhere* in those two days. i could believe they might miss one scan, but not for that long. -- nm - Andie Aug 28, 06:52
