Give it to Byrd.
Saying it will have ramifications on his next contract might make sense if rookies signed 1 year contracts.
They don't, so it's not a valid argument. His next contract will be based on his performance as a Bill to that point, not on some re-voted bullsh*t press award from his rookie year.

Bengals?? See: their last two games of the 2009 season. They are awful.
Jets? Not this year, but thye could win the AFCE. Anyone who says they are "overrated" is whistling past the graveyard and shouldn't be taken seriously.
Ravens? Maybe. I love how one poster says this is "a make or break year for Flacco"----amazing the stuff people post here.
Don't see Ravens getting past Indy.

How has Brohm shown "as much as Trent or Fitzpatrick"?? They have both started and won actual, real live NFL games. All Brohm has done is managed to get demoted to GB's practice squad.
I am hoping we get lucky with Levi but even if that happens, it won't be until next year.
Surprised you are the only one who picked up on this incredibly silly claim.
The math is that Brown is at-worst the 3rd QB. Who among the other 3 gets cut remains to be seen.You can tell that Brown, right now, is as least as good as Brohm (a guy you were screaming for last season) and perhaps Fitz and TE?
-
Why shouldn't he legitimately be allowed to compete?
They are paying him to compete.
As for the starting job? He won't be the starter on opening day, barring some catastrophe.

As I see it Nix is thinking this will be a 2 year "rebuilding" process. In saying this I think that the HC and GM decided that Chan could coach up what he has on the offensive side of the ball this year.
Is that why he tried to give away picks to get McNabb?
-
Nix and Gailey had him pegged specifically. They said they plan on developing this kid so I can see him challenging for the job in 2011 IF there is a non lockout 11 season
Do the math. They are not going to carry 4 QBs.
The likelihood that Brohm is named starter on opening day is very low. So it's either TE or Fitz. If it's TE, no way they let Fitz goa and have Brohm and Brown as the backups. Fitz is a solid backup---crucial in this league. You can't let him go.
That leaves Brown as the obvious man out. He had one good year in a bush conference. I have to believe Brohm is better.
-
But, but, but, what about labor peace?
Relax doc, it's coming.
Let the very rich men do their business.

I could see a QB controversy happening very soon in Oakland if they keep JP. I always thought of Campbell as very similar to JP with the inconsistant play surrounded by subpar personnel, and the flashes of brilliance.

Just thought I'd pass this along for any New York City Bills fans:
I lifted this from their website:
Buffalo Bills Backers Meet & Greet at McFadden's
* Friday May 14th * 6pm-10pm * 1/2 price drinks *
Meet & Greet: Trent Edwards, Brian Brohm, Andy Levitre, Nick Hennessey, Jon Stupar & Garrison Sanborn!!!
Call: 212.986.1515 for reservations
Location: 800 2nd Avenue New York, NY 10017
Get into the city at 6!
WTF is with "reservations"?? You can't just walk in and meet these guys?
-
I wonder if the NBA list is longer or shorter than this pathetic display. I bet'cha the NHL hardly has anybody.
They get to hit eachother.
Nobody watches or cares anyway.
-
I agree. Gailey & Nix brought in two strength & conditioning coaches, 1 to specialize on the linemen, the other on the WR's & DB's. With less injuries, that alone should bring the Bills 2-3 more wins.

There's some interesting stuff in the article but the report of a potential lockout is old news. DeMaurice Smith said that on a scale of 1-10 the chances of a lockout are a 14. Whether this turns into a lockout or a strike is the only question I think.
I'm not sure that if the league declares a lockout if the players would still have to be paid.
Lockout=no pay for the players.

Based on what? every major scientific association or organization says otherwise. Some of the hottest years on record have been recorded in the last decade. A couple of conservative newspaper in the UK arent much more of an authority than FoxNews. i mean i can just link this http://royalsociety.org/Facts-and-fictions...climate-change/ to discredit the scrub newspaper you cited.
Al gore doesnt debate bc theres really no debate on the fact its happening. There isnt in the scientific community, its just like evolution, theres some wacky scientists arguing against it out there but serious scholars accept it.
I think the issue is more .......complex than Mr. Gore would like you to consider. Certainly it is not unwise to be skeptical that such a profound and controversial scientific position could be so dependent on a set of data that is, shall we say, not recorded is a way that almost all other scientific data is. Sloppy is a word that doesn't give one much confidence. In fact, the termperature data no longer can be produced--it seems to be gone.
Attacking a paper or other news outlet for providing news or opinion is not an argument.

So much more information has been made public since Al made his film--most significantly the behavior of the climate scientists who are the face of the global warming science. You should draw your own conclusion based on all information.

There was no need to concede, much less take back, anything doc. I showed you that the owners have spent several hundred billion dollars more annually since they signed that new CBA than they otherwise would have spent. The actual percentage was a fool's errand.
Look, I realize you painted yourself into a corner back in 2006 when you chortled at Ralph being one of 2 owners to vote no on the new CBA. Only to see Ralph be proven right a scant 2 years later and now there being talk of a lockout! At this point, you feel as if you need to go down with the ship where the CBA is concerned. I get it.
Wow, "several hundred billion dollars more annually since they signed that new CBA"?? Who gave you that number, your buddy Ralph? This sentence sums up tour grasp of the issue nicely.
Anyway, your Freudian slip aside, the cap goes up each year. The difference with the new agreement wasn't catastrophic and was completely voluntary on the owners part AND almost all of any increase in salaries went to a handful of players and didn't even approach the "59.5%" of all revenues. You are the only one who still claims this is true.
As I said before, Ralph doesn't get credit for claiming to be for small market revenue sharing and then voting against a CBA that would provide unprecedented Medicaid dollars for the lowest revenue teams. My guess is that he either didn't realize this or that he was worrried that the "qualifiers" in the CBA would rule him to be ineligible to qualify for the Medicaid. If the former is true, he's a doddering old fool. If the latter is true, he is a greedy, cynical miser who voted against relief for the truly needy in the league.
Sorry, I'm going to side with the 30 owners in the room at the time who thought it made good business sense to get that deal done. They are vastly more wealthy now and hold the position of absolute strength heading into the current negotiations.

Article from SI this morning (Fan Nation, Truth & Rumors). No update, but you gotta see the post from one of the commenters. He puts up a 5 X 7 of Lynch over a 5 X 7 of the Geico Caveman.
Hilarious!

The cave man is articulate and has better teeth.
-
I'm sorry, but there's NO way the players should be able to command 60% of revenues. IF, and that's a giant IF the owners act in unison on this one, it's going to be tough for the players to fight back.
Take another look, Joe, it never happened. Never will. Only possible if every owner spends to the cap always. It essentially was a voluntary program for the owners and only affected the players who were getting new contracts. No one else got a raise. The "victory" for the union was imaginary.

You can trade down into oblivion son, think of Spiller as a "playmaker" not a running back. Obviously the brass did not want Clausen at any price. What is more important to you, an atta boy from the talking heads or a sure fire difference maker this year? CJ is about as close to a fool-proof year one contributor as any prospect in the draft. How much of a difference maker is Bradford going to be this year? Dez Bryant? You say you want LT II type of guy in his prime lining up for you this year on your beloved Buffalo Bills? Bingo. Done.
Spiller is, now, an LT II type of guy in his prime"??
Not one carry and he's LT in his prime?
-
How bout "Reggie Bush"?
-
Impossible! We all know you don't spend tons of money and picks on pricey veterans! You build through the draft---and we now have Wang!
Check out the BODOG odds of J. Russell's next spot: Bills #2 most likely at 7:2.
Yikes! The betting public hates us.

The circumstances were that Mangini invited Harrell back to Cleveland. Let me know what part of that sentence is causing you so much difficulty, and I'll do my best to explain it to you very slowly.
And check your facts - when Warner didn't make the Packers roster in 1994, no other NFL team gave him a shot, so he went home and took a job stocking shelves and bagging groceries for $5.50/hour before latching on with an arena-league team in 1995.
So, at the same point in his career as Harrell 'riding the pine in Canada', Warner was a bag-boy at the local Hy-Vee Store while Harrell was on a CFL roster and also quality control coach at OSU in the off-season. At the same time Warner was trying out for the Arena Football League, Mangini has invited Harrell back to throw for the Browns again.
Hear me now, believe me later - Harrell will be one of the greats. I don't care if you agree, 'cause I know I'm right.
BTW - shouldn't you and your fellow NE* 'buddies' be busy opening up your summer cottage at...
We all have heard the story of how Warner had to make a living at a low paying job while he worked as a grad assistant at Northern Iowa. What's your point--other than to make your buddy Harrell look more like a spoiled and deluded d-bag? And look who Warner couldn't beat out for a spot in Green Bay--then take a look at the quality of QB Harrell couldn't match up with in Cleveland (they passed on him last year) and the "Rough Riders".
The point you miss in your poorly thought out comparison of Warner to another one trick pony from TexTech is that Warner (and Garcia) were not top rated passers from big college programs. They, and Moon, EARNED their shots at NFL rosters after they proved themselves in lesser leagues.
Your boy has done nothing since he left school except put on the same clean uniform every game day. So, you see---he is nothing like the others you compare him to.
Hey, why don't you tell us all how it's possible that a former pats season ticket holder who cruises "somanymen.com" regularly is really a heterosexual cheatriots hater? Good luck!

Try to keep up, doc. I was talking about the last round of CBA negotiations, where the players truly DID bend over the owners. You're the only one who can't see it, or more precisely, doesn't want to see it.
And now there's talk of using UFL players. Yes, sounds like the owners have it all figured out.
Oh, I understood your tired response--hence I said "again". Try to keep up.
No, I can't see 59.5% of nothing. I believe you even conceded this at one point. Taking it back now, I see.
Yup, those poor owners--still smarting over the billions they socked away since the last CBA--now they are again at the mercy of the powerful players' union!
I think the UFL story is a nice touch for the NFL---they are starting to toy with the union like a cat does a mouse. Like......well, you know.
-
Come now. Nobody got hurt by the last deal, until the situation changed. And now conditions will be MUCH more favorable for a lockout/work stoppage in 2011 than they were back in 2008.
Yeah, that's right---the players have the owners "bent over" again on this one, huh? When will those stupid owners ever figure things out?
hahahahahahaha!
-
i respectfully disagree with some of your points. to go into detail would be too tiring. let's leave it at that.

Too tiring, huh? lol
OK. Fair enough.

even says Steve Smith thinks he's a punk
http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/...eat-matt-moore/
Steve Smith is, by far, the biggest douche--bag on that team:
http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2008/08/01/steve-s...teammate-again/
Maybe he's worried about being displaced?
Hey Steve, it's no longer 2008. Maybe you should make nice with the guy who may be able to get you back into the top 30 receivers in the league.
Is Roscoe a lock to make the team?

They had him as apunt returner. That's what he was good at.
As a receiver, he's not good. He can't avoid a tackle unless, like in punt returns, he gets about 10-15 yards before the first contact.
