  1. Well Dan, I never did say "Lienhart is so much better than Edwards" so there is no reason for me to respond. LOL. The fact that you have to scrounge around and point to the lowly Cards as a team that Edwards might be able to be a starter is hardly a ringing endorsement. Some friendly advice Dan, don't get the annoiting oil out for Trent just yet.

    The lowly Cards???

     

    Anyway....Dan's right. The title of your post, if you recall is "Would any of our QBs actually start for another team???" Now you are faulting him for mentioning the "lowly Cards" as a possibility that you obviously don't dismiss (so you must be in agreement). You say it's "hardly a rining endorsement", yet it clearly answers your question.

     

    Some friendly advice: read your own post before answering the responses of others.

  2. Never said TDs alone did determine the better back. But good backs score them ;)

     

    You're trying to give the impression that Jackson is Warrick Dunn and Marshawn was Mike Alstott. Simply not true. I watched every game last year and I saw nothing to support your stat-less claim. Why do I even remember? Because I used to scream at the TV that they SHOULD put in Lynch because he gets even tougher yards than Fred.

    This is ALL YOU HAVE BEEN SAYING---for months! You are the "TDs are all that matters, re: RBs" Guy.

     

    Wow.

  3. Oh, you mean the same kind of false starts Demetrius Bell is getting? The same kind Ruben Brown used to get?

     

     

    How much does Bell get per false start? He is probably at least $900,000 in front of Peters from last year alone.

     

     

    We arent taking Wood and Nelson over Peters...We are taking Demetrius Bell or Jamon Meredith over Peters...Hence the reason our Offensive Line still blows donkey dick and there is not a single player CLOSE to Peters' talent. (And DONT say Eric Wood, because he is literally a Center who happens to be playing Guard...He has no skill to be a tackle and has never played as a tackle.)

     

     

    SO ALL YOU PEOPLE WHO ARE STILL TRYING TO COME UP WITH REASONS AS TO WHY JASON PETERS IS NOT A GOOD FOOTBALL PLAYER...GIVE IT UP! OUR ORGANIZATION GOT RID OF ARGUABLY THE BEST PLAYER, CERTAINLY THE BEST O-LINEMAN, THE BUFFALO BILLS HAVE SEEN IN A DECADE! WE WERE UNABLE TO REPLACE HIM THEN, AND WE STILL ARE YET TO REPLACE HIM WITH SOMEONE EVEN CLOSE TO HIS SKILL LEVEL!

    Yeah, we'll never be able to find another morbidly obese TE and stick him at LT--and then argue over whether he was elite or sucked.

  4. Hey, i am enjoying it and hoping that with the addition of Spiller, the O opens up. All I am saying is that I, me myself personally, haven't noticed much a difference in Trent overall. Sure, the dump downs look better when they go for positive yardage, but we are still witnessing the same Trent overall. That's all. I just hope there something else in the playbook because teams like the Pats, Pack and so on, will catch up to our O very quick.

     

     

    SKITTISH !!!!!!!!

    Mick told Rocky--"don't get up!". Listen to Mick.

  5. Hate to be a Debbie Downer here but if it wasn't for Spiller on this offense, we probably would look worse than last year if that's possible. Honestly, Trent looks just a Trentative and it's more than obvious that he just doesn't have "IT" to be the guy under center.

     

    Call me what you want but it just my personal observation through 2.5 preseason games and countless regular games the last few years. I really want him or someone to succeed at QB but I don't know if there is anyone on the current roster to take that job, with the exception of Levi, who is still relatively unknown.

     

    I guess everyone can blame the O-Line for some of it but, honestly, how much can you blame them when the QB looks skiddish at best.

    He's succeeding tonight. Doesn't at all look "skiddish", or even skittish.

     

    Relax.

  6. I'll be watching how the 0-line blocks, throws down the middle for our qb's, how our D-line handles the run, pass rush, and how our LBs do. I suppose that's a lot. Oh ya and special teams. I'm not worried about our running backs or our DBs. Even if some of our guys falter I'm not too worried. They won't be able to fix everything by the 3rd preseason game. But as long as I see progress then i'll be ok. I'll be watching Moats and Maybin.

    Not watching the first half?

  7. I certainly understand your "show me" attitude right now in lieu of what we've been thru since the Music City Miracle. I have a bunch of it too. I think what I'm seeing now MPL is intelligence. C'mon...I bet most of the guys on this board felt Dicky J was a smart man, but a slow thinker as HC. I could give many, many examples of this. I for one was sick to death of the deer in the headlight gaze, combined with head scratching & shoulder shrugs. Jauron could probably blow Gailey's doors off on a scrabble board, but on the gridiron it would be another story. It's called "street smarts" & toughness. Gailey has it, & several of our HC's before him didn't. I'll take a tough guy with street smarts any day. This is what gives me optimism. Jauron was the type at halftime, while being down two TD's to say, "C'mon men...go get 'em the second half." Gailey's the type to actually make the necessary adjustments & have a solid plan.

     

    When has he done this? Yet? Is it not unreasonable to wait until the season starts?

     

     

    I prefer Chan to those guys you listed, except Marty. Billick is a so-called offensive genius (thanks to having Randy Moss while he was OC in Minnesota), an egomaniac who got his SB win thanks to a defense he didn't really have to coach. Reeves is done, too old school for today's game. Marty has a great track record of restoring teams to playoff levels (just not moving past that)... so Marty would have been a step in the right direction.

     

    Tell you what though -- I wish we'd have seen the light on Mike Singletary. That dude changed a losing culture in SF, and still doesn't have a legit QB.

    Not yet, he hasn't.

     

    I am pleased with Chan so far, and I am ok with his blasting of the teenagers, but it is way to early to annoint him with Saban and Levy.

     

    See the bolded statement above. Please recall at a Levy press conference when a reporter alluded to false drug stories about Bruce Smith. Levy went nuts on the guy. Called him and others "jerks". This was broadcast on every major football show for weeks. Levy had his players backs. Bruce Smith expressed sincere gratitude for this because he did have issues in his past.

     

    Levy did what Chan did with 100X the impact. Levy handled the entire team, press, and fans as good as you could expect. he did it in a era that was much tougher to do so in.

     

    Saban, who I really respect a lot, had his issues with players (Gilcrest and Lamonica certainly come to mind). Levy handled all relationships with class and grace.

    Good points.

  8. Pretty ironic that with all the absolute scumbags the NFL lets in and gives second chances to, a kid who screwed up (but didn't hurt anyone) at 16 is the one they blackball.

    Well, he did f#ck his sister.

     

     

     

    There aren't many of them left, but the taboos that still exist die pretty hard.

     

     

    Are you saying this taboo shoud die a little easier?

     

    And the guy is already on second child with second woman.

     

    Should the Bills give him a second chance because of his hard luck story or because he is better than anyone on the team at his position?

  9. I don't get the need for 18 games. Playoff rosters are already so beat down by the end of the season. Let me tell you the real reason owners want this. Its another home game and more television dates they get to add to the season BUT they know the players won't get that much of a pay increase and that their careers would end earlier thus they can shorten the length of contracts and make less guaranteed money.

     

    You don't want a 16 game season its just going to lead to a season that is more watered down at the end and its going to lead to players careers being shorter and shorter.

    I bet the vast majority of players have their "careers shortened" because they are released from the league (they suck) than because they are injured. I bet it's not even close. This notion of large numbers of players disappearing from the league because of 2 more games played is disproven every year by every team that advances to their second playoff game.
