I don't know that it explains the drafting of Spiller, but it may explain his performance to date.

yes it is.

Is Baltimore releasing Ray Lewis? Can he punt?

This is all true, but it doesn't mean they are wrong this time.

Yes. Just like that.

That's what I have been saying! The guy is dumb as a post. Being the least intelligent person on a professional football team is saying something, too. Anyone have access to this guy's wonderlic score? You don't have to be a brain surgeon to be a good football player, but you have to have some basic level of cognitive functioning. All other things being equal, the smarter player will be the better player. I think Maybin is just too dumb to be a successful football player.

I'm not sweating the TE position - until we have a line that can handle a pass rush without help from a TE and a back, we might as well put an actual tackle at TE.

coming right up! You're not going to perform any tests on that piss, are you?

Is it a magnum?

Correct. Buster Davis would be lumped in with the cast offs and wash outs. That is a very reasoned response. I agree that Fitz will be fitz this year, and that will not be a good thing. I agree that our offensive line is a huge question mark. Bell is just serviceable. Levitre and Wood are getting better, but the right side of the line is iffy at best, and if (when?)they get hurt there is NO ONE behind them. All the weapons in the world won't do a bit of good if Fitz is running for his life. Let's hope Hairston develops quickly. He reminds me of Brad Butler. I'm not here to say that every one of our receivers flat out blows and its hopeless, but calling that group of question marks an extravagance of riches is beyond homerism. Not to nitpick, but: Evans - one dimensional this far? He's in what - his 10th year? If he had another dimension I think we would see it by now. I see a player that doesn't get separation like he used to. Maybe you are right - it isn't that he has lost a step, its his lack of effort. Stevie - you are right - his drops were those of a second year player. Too bad he was a third year player last year. I like Stevie - I am interested to see how he follows up the success of last season. I don't think he's on the way to the pro bowl yet but he may have that ability. He needs to become fast friends with a jugs machine, though. he was in the bottom 10 WR's in the league in drop percentage of catchable balls last year at 13.68% That is a bad number. My link. Roscoe ran a 4.4 when? 10 years ago? who ran the watch - do you have a link for that stat? More important is his lack of productivity. Blame it on whoever you want, he just hasn't been productive. Maybe he would have been last year but lately the guy can't stay on the field. Nelson - he is big and slow, isn't he? He has good hands, no doubt. He's the type of guy you are always looking to upgrade though, because he is so one dimensional. I'll give you this - I like him better than Hardy. I don't understand the reference to Brady - he started two years at Michigan - did you mean Matt Cassel? He's playing himself out of the league. I meant Smith. He's a tweener because I don't know what position he plays - some wide receiver, some running back some returner, some quarterback. He's basically a gimmick. We'll see how he does, but I don't expect consistent production, I expect a few big gimmick plays, but not much else the other 50 offensive snaps. I'd like to see Easley do well to, but the guy has only had a handful of training camp practices. Embarrassing riches? So, while we disagree on how these guys should be viewed, I commend you o your reasoned approach to it.

Thank goodness these guys want to win. That last group of guys didn't even care whether they won or lost. Isn't about 70% of this team still the same?

I'll take a half empty jug of atomic balm and a package of 3/8" screw in cleats for him. Willing to throw in a case of toilet paper along with Maybin to get this deal done.

Really? I keep seeing this, and can't for the life of me understand how people believe this. We have: an aging WR who only runs fly patterns, fails to battle for balls, and has lost a step, an up and coming WR who is neither really big nor really fast, but run good patterns and has a penchant for dropping balls at important times in the game. an aging midget of a WR who is injury prone, not overly fast, very, very quick, but relatively unproductive despite his skills. a tall slow wide receiver, undrafted, from florida who failed to put up big numbers in college despite playing on a perennial national championship contending team a tweener FA pickup being compared to Slash (not the one from G & R, unfortunately) a hometown undrafted product who spent most of last year on the practice squad until we were decimated by injuries a 4th round pick from last year who has made it through about 10 days of training camp combined in his first 2 years a collection of cast offs, undrafted free agents, washouts and perrenial practice squad players. You consider this an embarrassment of riches?

Have any of the players guaranteed we make the playoffs yet? We'll know they are for real when that happens. Nine wins? with history as a guide, we will be lucky to achieve that goal by the end of next season, and only if we add in the win(s) from this season.

Leif was a pu$$y.

well? It's 4:00. How many pro bowlers did we sign? Are playoff tickets on sale yet?

At least len bias had an excuse for not producing.

No - we must figure out why he's a bust - its our duty as fans. I think its because he is dumb as a post. I think he is too stupid to grasp what it is he's supposed to do on the field, and too small to rely purely on athleticism like he did in college. When the likes of Rhinehart and Pears are eating you up there is a problem. I can't think of any other explanation but stupidity. Why else would he come into camp at 228 lbs? Hell, drink 10 protein shakes a day and work out 4 hours a day and you can put on 20 lbs of muscle in a couple months! He's so dumb I'm surprised he can tie his own shoes.

So how about that maybin guy - he looks really skinny.

So the Bills were offering him 5 per on a longer term deal and the best he can get in free agency is 2x2? HAH, HAH, HAH! Jokes on him. Top 5 safety, my ass! He'll be offering ramen noodles to his buddies at those late night film study sessions in his studio apartment. Thanks for doing us a favor, Lil' Donte!

I think he's dumb as a post - he has demonstrated over and over he has no clue what he is doing on the field.

Sounds like Aaron is exploring a career in fluffing.

Geeze - wonder why that was?
