So did Earl Campbell use his helmet or his shoulder to lower the boom there?

You need to check your facts again I think. I just did a simple Google of articles on the Bills cap situation. And found ones such as this -> link to Buff News article The Bills do not have that much room to make FA signings.

Since the Mario for Skelton idea didn't quite work out . are we proposing to sign Dumervil so that we can trade him for Skelton?

I think the Titans are expecting to make a playoff run this year with all the moves they have made. If Locker continues to suck, why would they give him "the benefit of the doubt" when the season is on the line?

Trent was given an extension by the Eagles in Sep 2012. So he is still employed as of now... Or is there some news article that states that he was released?

Yes. Players are only acceptable here on TBD if we have heard of them ;-)

Luck hasnt exacly lit it up yet like a Brees , Rodgers, Brady. Their punter still gets a lot of work.

Since a number of fans here like to cite win - loss percentage and "clutch " play in playoffs, why not Sanchez ? He's taken his team all the way to the AFC championship twice !

Yes. Because of the single elimination format , sometimes anything can happen . It's a pity football can never have a series format like baseball , basketball, hockey . It makes it less likely that there are upsets since the more talented team tends to emerge victorious in those series .

There are many amazingly ignorant posts on TBD. Yours is now among them.

Its nice luxury to play safety on a stacked defense like the 49ers... Would Whitner have put up those same improved numbers on a crappy team like the Jags.

There is a difference in playing "good" during spot duty vs playing good as designated starter over course of a season. Cousins will have a chance to show if the scouting reports that said he would be a backup quality qb due to weak arm strength and inability to face pressure are false. If he turns out to be good next season starting in place of rg3 then great . If not , then Washington will wonder if they should have used that pick to fill out some depth or other positional need.

Flacco is not at the same level as a Brady, Manning , Brees, Rodgers. 20 MM per year is unrealistic IMO .

The jury is still out on whether or not Cousins is a "quality" QB. The Redskins took a lot of flack for drafting Cousins after giving up the farm for RG3. Shanahan seems to like to gamble on unusual picks. I still remember him using a 3rd on Maurice Clarett back on Denver. That sure worked out well for them . The Cousins pick only looks ok now because RG3 may not be back in time for this coming season.

This is all smoke and mirrors. We all know Stevie only got open when Lee Evans was acting as a decoy and drawing double coverage .

Ummm. If Tarvaris gets signed by another team , don't the Bills actually get a compensatory pick? So in the end it's a wash? Anyway , I don't get why folks here are obsessing over the 7th round pick thst was used to obtain TJ. That's usually a throwaway pick.

Wow. I second that idea lol. Maurice Clarett looked great during his one year at Ohio State. We can't leave any stone unturned just like others here are saying

I find it interesting that folks are saying that the Eagles would want to pick up a QB when they still have Vick, Foles, and Edwards around. It seems they have some other glaring holes that need to be filled before QB?

I love how a lot of people on this board cite win - loss as the only stat that matters. But on a football team, you have 21 other players on offense and defense . The performance of those other players greatly affects the final results of the game . You can be the most skilled qb , yet if the team around you is bad , you are not going to win . There is a hall of fame qb who started out on a very sorry team. During his first 2 seasons , he was 3-16 as a starter with 11 tds , 21 interceptions , and a 55 % completion rate. That's horrible . Yet after San Fran traded for him and eventually started him , he went on to have a hall of fame career . Steve Young's final numbers with San Fran are 221 tds , 86 ints, and a 101 rating . Big difference when you play on a great team . Now in no way am I saying that Fitz is the next Young . But blaming the terrible Bills record on entirerly on Fitz is just plain dumb.

Win-Loss is a team stat ...

Are you the guy who labeled himself as the "beacon of clarity" a few months back ? I think you had some special insight on the Bills leaving WNY. So do we have a new destination already ?

That was exactly the point lol

Y You forgot to complain about them hiring the cheapest coach out there.

The Wall Street Journal had an interesting article today where they cited the fact that almost 20% of the head coaches in the NFL are named Mike . Here is a link to a short online version-> link However, statistically speaking, Mike is not the most common name in the US. It is actually James based on Census information. Yet, there are only 2 Jims who are head coaches in the NFL right now --which is just 6%. What can a James do to get a fair shot in the NFL?
