  1. To this day, Cookie is a legend in Canada. His name always comes up in "greatest player" debates. Jack Kemp said Cookie was the greatest football player he ever saw. RIP
  2. With a strong showing tonight, a great combine and good interviews I definitely do believe it. If all that happens I expect him to go # 1 overall.
  3. Point is Kolb wants to start and would not accept a backup role. Might as well stay in Philly. Wouldn't mind seeing what Chan could do with Alex Smith. Vince is a suicidal fruitcake - no thanks. All academic though if Cam Newton pans out well prior to the draft and is there at #3. Chan would loby hard for him IMO and he seems to get his way a lot viz Spiller.
  4. Saints put up 36 points yesterday, easily enough to win. Instead of trading for Marshawn, they should have traded for some run D.
  5. Your right. Too bad he's a suicidal fruitcake. Truly its a shame and a waste of great talent.
  6. I believe his program is complete spring of 2012.
  7. Harbaugh is a former Pro Bowl QB and has personally groomed AL as well as generally directed Stanford's offence. I will be interested to see what happens now that JH is gone.
  8. I thought 6 was McKelvin's score.
  9. Not a Brohm backer but I wouldn't put too much emphasis on the Jets game. Right side of the O-line was down to street guys after our second stringers went down, our receiving corps was decimated, and he had Mr. Calvin Pace in his face all day. On the other hand I think Chan and Cortez probably have a pretty good fix on the guy. Don't know if he sticks next year. Almost certainly won't if Chan gets his way a drafts a QB.
  10. I agree with those who say that next season will probably reveal exactly what we have with Fitz. At 28 and with 5+ years of pro experience he may very well be coming into his own. Chan is an offensive minded coach who has success with QBs. Having seen the result of his work in Canada for years, I also think Cortez was a great, though quiet, hire for the Bills. He is an outstanding QB coach. Marc Trestman, the Montreal HC, who also has a history and reputation for grooming QBs, including NFL QBs, has called him the best in that department north of the border. If these guys can help Fitz improve his technique he has the brains, leadership and attitude to be a legit NFL starter. The stakes are pretty high for the Bills but more so for RF himself. If he goes on a tear next year with so many teams needing a QB he is likely to be a hot commodity in free agency for the 2012 season.
  11. Agree he is a much better and more effective player than people on this board usually give him credit for, but Chuddy will avoid him like plague IMO because of the huge risk of bad chemistry - and I think they would be right to do so.
  12. Hey Sen, you forgot to mention that the weather is very nice in Italian Somaliland.
  13. What does your third sentence have to do with the first two?
  14. I agree. OT Light. He is good in scheme blocking but I like a road grader there. Also he misses a lot of time through injury. His talent is useless (and therefore likely to be very expensive) if he doesn't see the field. Sorry. Re previous post read "zone blocking scheme".
  15. Its just a random statement of fact and probably the truth - having a preference for taking the butcher's word for it I mean. On the other hand, anyone making such a dumb post is probably capable of anything, including sticking his head up a bull's azz... BTW love the avatar. Somebody said it was a pic of Wade lol!
  16. No. Merely an empirical observation and fundamental truth IMO (unless he's lieing, which wouldn't surprise me either).
  17. Correct. Bad news. Really wanted Fairley and now doubt he will be there at 3.
  18. If he declares I believe Carolina willdefinitely take A. Luck. I am very wary of making claims and predictions concerning the pro career of any college athlete, but I subscribe to the (still minority) thinking that Luck is not just the legit # 1, but very possibly a once in a decade type of talent at that all important position and one that nobody can pass on.
  19. Good post. Won't happen.
  20. Indeed surprising quickness for a man his size. More likely to pressure the passer than stuff the run.
  21. I doubt RF sees the field tomorrow. Draft day planning.
