This guy says some crazy stuff about ARod playing better QB through this stretch than any QB in NFL history. He goes on to say nutty things like Seattle may not be in playoffs. Rams have a tallanted team shy of a QB. But when he said this;
7. San Francisco 49ers Rookies Are Playing Lights Out
Courtesy of 49ers.com: Chris Borland joins the Rookie of the Year conversation.
It might have been an ugly win for San Francisco against the New York Giants on Sunday, but Jim Harbaugh’s squad will most definitely take it. Their defense intercepted Eli Manning five times, including a game-sealing pick by rookie linebacker Chris Borland near the end zone with just over five minutes left to help the 49ers maintain a 16-10 lead.
It was Borland and fellow rookie Aaron Lynch who put on an absolute show for San Francisco’s defense. Borland, who is quickly becoming an under-the-radar Defensive Rookie of the Year candidate, intercepted two passes, recorded 13 tackles and had three passes defended. Meanwhile, Lynch, a fifth-round pick from South Florida, sacked Manning once and put consistent pressure on the Giants signal caller throughout the afternoon.
With Patrick Willis now lost for the season, Borland’s ability to step into his role may be the biggest factor in the 49ers’ hopes of earning a playoff spot after struggling through the first half of the season. For his part, Lynch is now teaming up with Aldon Smith to form a ridiculous pass-rushing tandem. Heck, he appears to have already unseated Ahmad Brooks as one of the team’s two starting outside linebackers. That in and of itself is saying something.
Luckily for Borland he went before falling on to Uncle Ted's lap. In Green Bay he would likely have languished on the bench for a couple seasons waiting for Mrs Jones or Hawk to retire.
The Iowa response should be interesting......
