So easily everyone forgets he chose to be another team's backup for less money. If he was such a team player, if he was such a classy guy, he would have restructured his deal. He wasn't going to get less money if he restructured. Did the front office fail us with his contract? Yes. But don't give Fitzpatrick a pass. I have an easier time understanding the man-love for him 3 years removed than I do understanding why he still gets a free pass.

If they were truly the greatest ever they would not need to cheat

Oooooh!

With 2 scrambling QBs, we're going to need 3rd QB by midseason

The exception that proves the rule

Doesn't get hurt! Good one

I am still boycotting Madden until they bring back co-op franchise mode. I guess no one plays with actual physical friends and family anymore.

Who cares? Anyone who can remember the Tuck Rule debacle and Spygate. And with Deflate Gate coming to light, who knows how long they've been cheating.

The Falcons lose a draft pick and 350k for piping in noise. But the Pats win with substitutions that suddenly get deemed illegal. Then violate the sanctity of the game with deflateGate and get a championship.

I would be okay sending them a 5th rounder for him. One of them will be hurt this season at some point, the only hard part would be trying to keep them from being injured at the same time

I understand that your particular topic was comparing and contrasting relatively similar QBs. In that, I have no issue. To be honest, I saw Fitz in the title and just assumed this was another thread pining for him. He's been gone 3 seasons and there are still threads about him. I said love affair. I should have said unhealthy obsession. Much like a teen's first heartbreak, many on the board are in a odd semi-denial/bargaining phase of loss when it comes to Fitz. They are aware that he's gone, but they forget how and why. They remember the front office giving him a huge contract, and how mean they were for asking him to restructure it. They forget he left to be another team's backup for less money. Basically they remember that, like the girl that got away, Fitz didn't want to leave, we must have pushed him away somehow. And that someday we'll win him back as long as we remember the good times. The good times being a 4-12 and some 6-10s.

The love affair with Fitz will never die for some.

I know it shouldn't, but it annoys me when a player makes statements about wanting to stay on the team, then turns down offers to stay. I remember Byrd making some flowery statement about Buffalo before bolting for the highest bidder. I don't fault players for negotiating the best deal possible. But if it's all about the money, we don't need to hear empty platitudes. Either tell the truth and admit that you want to get paid or just don't say anything publicly.

Did we give up our second round this year?

Sure, but what happens when we catch him?

I agree. Before the injury, EJ looked like RG3 did in the 2nd half of his rookie season. Like he was faster than everyone else. Hasn't looked as confident since

The only consolation for me is that every SB title the Cheatriots have is tainted. And much like Mark McGwire, Tom Brady's HOF ballot will be questioned.

Everyone who was adamantly opposed to Vick for his off the field actions should abstain from this vote. If more than a year in prison wasn't enough for you to forgive him, whatever slap on the wrist Brady is about to get for sullying the integrity of the game won't come close.

So since the Colts sucked like a Hoover, the Cheatriots are somehow validated? BS. It really grinds my gears that no one is even bothering to entertain the idea that given their past cheating history, the Bellicheats could have been doing this since the Spygate years. If they are so great. If Bellicheat is such a genius, and Brady is so wonderful, why are they cheating so hard?

right

I was astounded that we were able to resign SJ13 given our horrible record of retaining our drafted players. But everyone knew Byrd was gone because of his agent and his demeanor. It would be great to keep the defense intact for next year knowing Kiko will be back.

Fitz left you and he's been seeing at least two other teams behind your back

Fitz has his own thread every couple of weeks on this board

Nothing compares to the disgust I had when Trent Edwards ran out of bounds on 4th down.

It wouldn't surprise me to find out that Manning has a deal with the Nebraska Division of Travel and Tourism to promote Omaha
