2013 Sloan Conference Live Blog
If you want to know what happened at the Sloan Sports Analytics Conference this year, our own Bill Connelly and SB Nation's Andrew Sharp kept a pretty good live blog going at the SB Nation site. Video of the panels should be online in a couple of weeks, and we'll make sure to link both the Football Analytics panel and the Monday Morning Quarterback Coaching Decisions panel here at that point.

Lewin Career Forecast 2013
The numbers like this class of quarterbacks much more than the scouts do, unless we're talking about Mike Glennon or Tyler Bray.

Chiefs to Trade for Alex Smith
Hopefully this isn't another "Chip Kelly to the Browns!" thing. Jay Glazer is reporting that the 49ers and Chiefs have a done deal for Alex Smith, although it can't be announced for two weeks. Tim Kawakami on Twitter says that the 49ers will get a second-rounder this year and a similar pick in 2014. So the 49ers have 15 draft picks now for 2013. That should be interesting. Click to read more on the difference between Matt Cassel and Alex Smith.

Four Downs: AFC East
The Patriots need to solidify cornerback (again), the Bills need to invest in some linebackers, the Dolphins need a No. 1 receiver, and the Jets need a whole new set of "skill" players.

Packers to Release Charles Woodson
No link yet. The highest-profile release of the offseason so far? Yes, he's 36, but he was Defensive Player of the Year a couple years ago. Let's see... a team that is close to a title, that could use a hard-hitting safety who can also play nickelback... Hmmm, I can't think of any team like that. (Hi, Patriots.)

Eagles, Vick Agree on Restructured One-Year Deal
The Eagles and Michael Vick have worked on a restructured one-year contract that will apparently keep Vick in Philadelphia as Chip Kelly's first starting quarterback. Vick had been set to make $15.5 million in the third season of a six-year, $100 million contract. Adam Schefter on Twitter said Vick could make "up to" $10 million in 2013.

A Historical Review of the "Elite Quarterback."
After I saw the table in this article showing the explosion in the media's use of the phrase "elite quarterback," I was put on suicide watch. Of course, Joe Theismann is one of the people to blame for this nonsense. Can we please take this phrase behind the barn and beat it to death with a shovel?

10,000 Seasons Revisited
Why are 10-6 and 9-7 teams suddenly winning Super Bowls so often? Maybe there's no reason for this trend. In fact, maybe it isn't a trend at all.
