  1. manuel is consistently considered a third rounder by almost every draft guru, not good for tyler wilson
  2. nice first long ball, last 2 where pretty bad
  3. i think this is precisely what i am trying to avoid. this class doesn't seem to have much ilk. grab a seat warmer in FA. EJ Manuel seems to have some Kaepernik like skill level and upside but not ready. Grabbing him in the 3rd makes us not committed to him, and allows us to bet the farm on a much better guy that we actually like rather than dig deep to find plus sides in whats available now. would you be opposed with grabbing EJ Manuel now making it easier for us to grab A guy like McCarron next year, or is it more important to have Nassib now.
  4. I'm saying if we are bent on shipping Fitz out and need another veteran he is the best option. He's better then Smith And Tavaris. I don't think he is the solution. Just a stop gap while we groom the future. By no means is he the savior of the franchise. Just spit balling ideas. Without wasting a draft pick on a bad Alex Smith, this seems like a good option. What's your big idea?
  5. Why? What's the solution. Nassib at 8? I think we need a stop gap, Fitz may be able to do that job, maybe not. We need to grab a guy this year to develope and/or next year to be THE GUY. Campbell would be a tremendous stop gap
  6. He's not getting too much mention around here as a FA QB. The facts are Flacco won't hit the market, Alex Smith is a game manager at best, and Tavaris was horrendous in Minnesota for years. A 40 year old Favre put them in the NFC Championship game, while Tavaris couldn't average close to 200 yards per game through the air. I would kick the tires on this. Get one of these QBs in the 2nd or 3rd. I like Manuel in the 3rd. Then if you are in a position to grab a guy next year you are free to do so. Worst case either Manuel or Campbell work out.
  7. The most interesting FA is actually Jason Campbell. He was having a really good year in Oakland until he got hurt. Oakland bet the farm on Palmer and was forced to stick with him. He's the only FA I'd kick the tires on. Rather that and EJ Manuel in the 3rd then waste a first on Nassib.
  8. heard on the news the bills are interested...not sure what the asking price is. we are pretty far away from being good enough to waste a 1st on a guy for just a year. he would have to come with an extension an load it with incentives. if he plays like the best corner in the league pay the man, if not then his guarantee should be the average for a starting corner.
  9. this wont be the most most popular reply, but... if going out in public daily was a nuisance and impacted the upbringing of my kid then i would build a gigantic house for me and my family as well to minimize that. put everything in there.
  10. after watching the practices. i have come to like tyler wilson and ej manuel. i dont hate nassib as much, but nothing is done at game speed yet. glennon excites and scares me. i was a big landry jones supporter, but he is quickly hurting himself here this week.
  11. its weird it seems as though, everybody at espn is willing to accept this at face value, to an odd level. nobody is willing to question this over there. i highly suspect that ND is involved in this cover up one way or another and knows the truth whether it be sexual orientation or for personal gain.
  12. I wouldn't touch Teo at all, especially after watching that bull---- interview with Couric the other day. Now this Tuiasosopo is making his attorney look stupid. There is a huge piece missing here in this story, and Teo is involved much more than he keeps claiming. There is clearly a coverup
  13. my perfect draft 1st-Eric Fisher OT Central Michigan- kid is a stud. Glenn can move to guard or even RT. Shoring up the OL 2nd-DesmondTrufant CB Washington - His stock is rising but previously given a low first high second round grade. Most likely won't be there 3rd- EJ Manuel QB Florida State- His readiness should have him drafted here, he is polarizing for some. this would allow us to grab another QB in the first next year if we see fit while grabbing a guy with tremendous upside. I know we wouldn't address LB until round 4, but this draft would be stellar for this football team. We need a CB so expect one in the first two rounds. Can't pass up a blue chip OT when they are there. This OL is a bit over rated, we need the help badly
  14. I've said it before. These lawsuit will hurt the integrity of the NFL and the sport in general. Depending on their outcome, I wouldn't be surprised to see football fail the test of time. It will start with the pop Warner teams. Insurance companies won't insure leagues with football. That will move to High schools. Essentially ruining the feeder programs. Your D3 and low end or state school D1 programs won't be able to carry insurance and the NFL will fall. It may take 100 years but if these suits are successful, this will be the result.
  15. A couple of good d line men. Fischer and Quennsberry(?) seem to be cream of the crop for o line. I wouldn't mind grabbing Fischer in the first. A little but of both. He misfired on a 5 yard route by 10 yards.
  16. I am watching today Trufant and Poyer look like solid physical DB's. I'm impressed with the WR out of Syracuse,Lemon. Physical, nice size, and good hands. Pretty underwhelmed by the QB play so far. Nassib had an ugly pick on a button hook. Nowhere near his WR. His timing seems to be poor
  17. What about the story about how they met. 3 years and no Skype? Him speaking with her family? What hoax spends hours per day on the phone? The trip to Hawaii? The teammates saying he is a very good liar? The school chaplain who said he had met her? The dad says she came to Hawaii? If this was a hoax why did friends and family push more misinformation? It all makes sense as a hoax if you are willing forget large portions of information.
  18. Nassib seems to have tons of arm strength he just doesn't seem to read defenses or have abything better then average accuracy. Purely a single read system. Decent mobility, seems to flea the pocket a lot and poor mechanics. I see a poor mans Losman. Less physical gifts, but a similar skill set, slightly less
  19. I ment we will grab 1 cb in the first two rounds not 2 cb's. and yes Landry Jones has only hurt his draft stock by staying in school the past few years. The fact of the matter is he is by far the most pro ready, faced the best competition, and is the safest bet of the group. The rest of these guys in this class are first read and bail QB's. I'm not claiming Jones to be the messiah of the franchise, he is just the most pure passer of the group. I'm ok with not taking any qb this year and betting the farm for one next year. There is also nothing wrong with having more than one competent QB on the roster.
  20. For the sake of ammetuerism and the NCAA, they should ban students from doing interviews with the media. The less we idolize these teenagers and young men the less we see these blatant NCAA violations. It would keep the sports about the teams and not the individuals. Big programs would not be perceived as profiting from individuals. Teams would get credit not athletes, this Teo situation never happens.
  21. Worst nightmare. We would set the franchise back 5 years with this Also get ready for a cb in the first 2 rounds.
  22. Landry Jones in the 2nd please. In the video I have seen, he is the only qb making multiple reads, regularly looking off db's, and pump faking. The rest of the QB's in the draft are first read or run all day. Jones is the safest bet of them all. He is the most accurate of them all regardless of numbers, quick release, nice footwork, and an arm to make all of the throws. My pick all day
  23. I just can't get behind the idea of him being duped. To do that you have to say his dad was lying, what about the meeting at Stanford? Going to Hawaii? Over this 3 years he never Skypes this person? College kids are the largest users of technology, and he failed to use any of it to see this girl. He said he spoke with her family...how? There is a very large missing piece here.
