yes, why are we waste space and time on this thread?

honestly, I didn't think it worthy of a penalty, and certainly not a fine

he's the consummate professional, wish we had more like him

stinks to be you

The mistake was not getting a deal done with Rhienhart when they realized there was no hope with Levitre. He was not far behind Levitre or Urbik, and is much better then what we have now, and most importantly, could have been had at a far better price then Levitre--not a ceap price, but more realistic and affordable. And most important, he could play!

Yes, the fail here was not having a reliable veteran QB ready in case something happened to EJ (meanwhile, keeping an injured kicker on the roster--that alone is bothersome, but doing it with only one backup QB???). Well, it happened, and it was quickly seen that Tuel wasn't ready. Hopefully the lesson is learned.

sure, and throw in Wood too, and maybe Alonzo if they don't bite on the first two All-pros

technically, he did not "hold out" . . . effectively, he "held out," and still is, with the superficial foot injury thing . . . And, if I did trade him, I'd trade him to Jacksonville for whatever they'd take for him

two things: 1 - Who/When did they say Byrd was being traded? 2 - Tebow, baggage and all, would be a good fit for this team right now: He would certainly provided some energy/buzz and hope. Is he the longterm answer? No! But as was pointed out, his leadership and awkwardness would probably get a few wins in the short term.

last year

yuuup, nothing more to say

prophetic

no surprise here, I think they've been waiting for him to get healthy, and not soon enough

But, the Bengals also suck on offense, we'll see that is also a great mystery

I'm with you, he seemed like the logical choice all along. Except that Marrone said he wasn't last week, why would we be confused ??? Anyhow, I DO think he gives us the best chance to win, and certainly Pat White was not a step up or over him. Come on, when it comes to learning and processing information, no offense WVU alums, but I'll take a Duke guy over a WV guy any day.

As we've thrown less passes downfield then last year, this would have been a very sensible option. But so far, as much as I like some aspects of the new regime, their handling of the QB situation--ever since Kolb & Manuel were both hurt in pre-seaon--has been an epic fail. Once Kolb went down, we had no plan B, and still don't. Well, lets hope Pat White is a miracle worker . . . the biggest question for him, how fast a learner is he? Answer: Wonderlick Score = 22, ouch

we better hope, because as of this morning, the BIlls still don't have a capable backup

pathetic! Nassib, Flynn, Gradkowski, etc., we are not serious here, right? .... an all-pro safety for guys who will probably be cut before next season starts, yeap, the formula for building a championship team.

funny line

this !!! Tuel should have been there from the start, injuries have messed up the QB position (especially back-up) sense training camp, but it's time to get it fixed.

So, with all this focus on getting a new QB, we're heard nothing about a punter. And as we saw in Cleveland, a bad punter can cost you a game quicker than a walk into the kitchen to resupply the chip bowl. Any hints?

Sign Freeman! Do whatever it takes! He can start right now, and dare I say it, he may even be an upgrade from EJ (at least for this season).

right! there's a reason they're available ..... except one, Josh Freeman is NFL starter ready. So if he is really a pain in the a#$%, fine, use him and cut him when EJ gets back

trade Byrd for a QB

why didn't Dixon stick in Philly? he was even an Oregon guy. I like him, but this makes me wonder.
