  1. Just like we made a mistake reaching by using a first for ej in a weak qb draft class, I don't want us to reach and pay up in bucks and/or draft picks in a weak fa class. Best to keep our powder dry for at least another year and get an affordable player like Sanchez

     

    There is a lot of wisdom to your suggestion. Sanchez has also shown that he responds well to competition. Who knows, maybe E.J. will step up this season...

  2. I am still amazed that Doug Marrone thought he was going to win a battle with Whaley over the future of the team.

     

    I totally agree. I had the feeling Marrone made many game day decisions with the though of elevating his statue vs. Whaley. I think that might have impacted the play of some players as well. The 2015 season will be a very telling year...

  3. Mike Lupati is my choice as well. Lot's of 9er's fans were critical of him last year but I am not sure those criticisms were fair. Since we have Greg Roman as an OC, I am hoping he is a free agency target.

  4. You're kind of assuming that Roman wants either of these guys in his offense again. He very well could say that neither one of them have what he is looking for in a QB.

     

    Exactly. Why waste your time if you have a negative assessment from earlier experience?

  5. @KevinMassare: Still hearing that Bills OL Cyrus Kouandjio has an inside track to the RG spot. Hearing Whaley/Ryan like him, Marrone did not.

     

    Interesting. I wonder the details of this. I mean exactly what does Whaley see that Marrone did not? Was Marrone that vindictive that he would sit a player just because he did not like him?

  6. Sadly I know some people who cover the team and Manziel also has a serious drug problem. The team has been aware of the alcoholism for awhile (last summer). Football is the last thing his family cares about right now. Hopefully he is healthy for training camp not because I am counting on him to be our QB, but because it means there is some hope for him to contribute at some point. That maybe, just maybe, the issues that led to his lack of focus are wrapped up in his drug/acohol problems. And could be "fixable." I never wanted the Browns to draft him because I felt there were better QBs in the draft. But they did, so I have hope left. I feel like a terrible person for being such a fan that I worry our QB situation rather than real life problems of a human being.

     

    I admittedly know nothing about the rehab process so my apologies in advance for sounding ignorant that things can be "fixed" if that is not reality. Brett Favre went to rehab and was able to recover, correct? Any other examples?

    The success rate of AA and rehab is about 10% overall. The odds are not with him.

  7. We all need to remember Kawika Mitchell's quote when we claimed Incognito off waivers the first time: BIGGEST DISAPPOINTMENT THIS YR. THE GUYS A BUM. DIRTY AND ALWAYS WILL BE. REALLY WISH I WAS PLAYIN RITE NOW. SERIOUSLY… I KNO WE’RE N NEED OF OLINE BUT THIS GUY SUKS BALLS.” besides, I thought he hated playing in Buffalo. Wasn't that why we released him?

  8. Since we are speculating, I say Marrone tried a power play for more control over everything. I think he thought he would succeed because of his discussions with Polian. The Pegula's probably reflected and thought "been there, done that." and said no, sorry. I don't think the Pegula's thought the decision would cost them Polian's services. Marrone decided if he couldn't have it his way he would leave.

     

    Going forward, I like that Brandon, Whaley and Ryan all report to Pegula. It puts him in a better position to evaluate each of them and handle the conflicts that will inevitably occur.
