No, not saying turn into piles of lard. I don't believe I even came close to insinuating that. I am kind of surprised they aren't working out with trainers, their former schools, and that the agents want them doing this before they have their cut of the big payday. It doesn't matter how careful the veterans are, accidents happen, muscles tear, achille's rupture, strains, whatever.

I have mixed feelings about the rookies participating in these player workouts. I think it's great, as the vets will be able to give them an idea of what the coaching staff expects and I'm sure it will be a boost in teamwork and camaraderie. I have to wonder though, if these players get injured doing these workouts, what will the Bills stance be? The organization has already cut out pension payments, I have to believe they don't intend to foot the bill for injuries.

Anybody creates a controversy. Even Brohm created controversy. If Fitz struggles, expect Levi Brown to start being a hot topic--"Let's put him in and see what he can do" type stuff.

At this time last year people here would have given the farm for the chance to draft Locker. This year nobody here wanted anything to do with him. Could happen to Luck as well.

I'm not blaming one person for tonight's loss. I'm looking over the course of the season. Miller can go from lock down to a sieve. Actually seems comparable to Boucher. You guys keep saying the team on the ice tonight, the team on the ice tonight wasn't initially being debated. Yes, tonight's team seemed scared, apprehensive, and deflated. Maybe just plain tired. All season long this team has been offensively challenged. The original premise of this was Miller. Throughout the season, I don't believe Miller to be anything more than average. Look around the league and compare. Maybe on a team with a better defense, maybe a team with a better offense, maybe he would be the star that he is supposed to be. I don't know that. All I can go by is what I have witnessed and that is coming up short in big situations.

That's nice. Call me a simpleton for making an opinionated response. Guess it's to be expected here, it's why I post so rarely. Fact is, an elite goalie doesn't get pulled in game 7 in the playoffs. Defense or not, he needed to step like he did in his second shutout of the series. He has a tendency to come up small in big situations, just like the Olympics. Call me what you will, it is my belief that Miller is not among the top goalies like is so commonly stated. Enroth may not work either, don't know, but I know there are way too many Miller apologists.

No, but that's tonight. He has these bad games a lot. He is extremely hot and cold. Two shut outs in this series but has given up 17 goals in the other 4 games. I understand the defense needs to step up, as does the offense, but those are not elite numbers.

Exactly why I have been thinking he should be traded. Take your chances with a young Enroth. Miller had a good Olympics, but since has been no better than average.

I've never thought of it like this, but it's a very good comparison. I agree completely...some teams every 5-10 years get their "perfect soulmate", but it's not likely. Find a hard working qb with talent enough to win and surround him with other talent. I vote Fitz. Although, another quality qb on the roster is needed to keep pushing the incumbent. I don't think Brohm is really lighting a fire under anyone.

...to a rookie that may not even have a chance to play next year.

That's funny...because it's true...GA Tech player.

Just wait until you see Russell Wilson on October 28 when the Noles come to Raleigh. He's theoretically too short to play QB in the NFL at 5'10", but he's still awfully good in college. So far this year he is playing great.

I remember watching him. He is an awesome athlete. I don't know how well he would make it under center full time, but our other options don't offer much hope. This kid looks the part, what little of him I've seen.

This is an interesting way you have chosen to endear yourself to the board as a new member.

At least you say this. It's better than telling someone go to another Bills site if you don't like it.

Moral superiority? Why, because I think it's fairly classless to wish a deadly sickness on someone? Ok then, I'm superior. Since there are so many other places to go, why not you and whoever else wants the trash talk go there? The fact is, everyone stopped here because they liked the conversation, the dialogue. Now it's changed. Why send the civil people packing?

Kind of what I was thinking. I would hope the bar owner would run off the nudists and keep the faithful around.

So because it's the internet, we can't be civilized? If the comment can be made, criticism should also be able to be made.

Well, this is just one more shining example of the class on this board these days.

Oh yeah, almost forgot...LOL!

We probably shouldn't have talked about another teams coach or gm for the last few years either. I think the only positions we can comment on are running back and defensive back. Either way, as the OP stated, Sanchez is so bad. That doesn't say is always going to be bad, but at this moment in time, with what we have to judge on, he is bad.

Eat crow? For what? For saying to go back and look at his stats? He was not impressive, far from the stellar qb he is made out to be. For his sake, he better make strides to improve or he will end up just like our qb roster. I'm not saying he won't get better. How the hell would I know that? Nobody does. I am saying that his season that is in the books was quite lackluster. Like Pilsner said, he was dropped into a very good situation. The team was on the rise. They weren't on the rise because of Sanchez. Hell, their own coach said their season was over at one point last year. Is that because of stellar qb play?

Ok, guy. You're right. He won for one season in college. No championship or anything, but he won. He progressed throughout the year. Actually, they had him throw less throughout the year more than anything. I agree to disagree with you, guy.

I don't agree, Merle. Other stats matter when the premise of the post was how bad Sanchez is, not the team that made it to championship game in spite of him. In an article a couple days ago it said all of the AFC East teams had legitimate, proven quarterbacks. How? What has Sanchez proven? He has proven that he can throw to the opposite team quite well.

Oh, I understand that, just saying. It looks good.
