basically we lost a 1st and marshawn(his stats you mentioned) for spiller who has 283 yards and 0 tds in 14 games and easley(who may have upside still) who has 0 cathes for 0 yards and 0 td. the trade of lynch was more for his happiness, the rebirth of the team, and to appease the fans. he would have been an asset to the team had we kept him. he has a lot more carries in him, and no matter what people say freddy isnt getting any younger, another good season or 2 tops. spiller may be a threat (although i never get that excited feeling that other posters get when they see him with the ball) he clearly isnt an every down back. so to recap, we gave all that up and in 2 years have to spend another pick on an rb to replace our aging starter because the 1st we used doesnt make up for the loss still. i trust this new front office, hopefully i am proved wrong, but to say the trade was anything better than washing our hands clean of lynch is insane

it is clear you have zero concept of athletics or injury/being hurt. while an xray may reveal nothing, an xray rarely ever shows a stress fracture or any sort of tendon or ligament damage. i am not claiming that there was actual pain, or even excusing cam. just saying you take a negative xray of a foot, a limping cam, and the fact that you where a back up qb for ken-west, and all of a sudden you are doogey howser with ww2 medals re-living the big game against ken east. i will say what i saw on the field was a really good athlete. he didnt make any nfl throws, no nfl reads, and dropped the ball(not literally) in a few key situations. i havent watched him play at all before tonight, so i am not sure what his normal game looks like. i know his numbers are decieving, especially with the amount of dump offs. i really wanted him to light it up. all he showed was he is athletic and deserves a shot in the nfl, just not with the 3rd pick.

stress fractures generally dont show up on an xray and can be super painful. i am still recoverying from mine on my rib. hurt to breath, sleep, cough, dont even bring up sneezing. it has kept me out of sport for a few months now(running into complications). even with steroids and and other pain meds it still hurt for me to compete. so yes it is possible that he is injured, or even has a break that has severe pain. whether that is what happend to him, who knows

havent watched much of cam newton all year. what i saw tonight was a great athlete run the spread offense and make some plays on his own. his throws werent great, i noticed alot of checking down or dumping off, and when he did go deep he consistantly misfired. most big plays where made by the wr after the catch. i did notice that he always seemed calm and collected in the pocket or even when scrambling. i wanted so bad for him to light it up, and own the ducks, the bills find there franchise guy. he played well, not a no 3 pick. somebody will grab him in the 1st but not the bills. he just didnt make the throws. in chans quick decision offense i am not sure he would perform well. i would have liked to see him make some throws behind center, some 3-5 step drops and release 10 yards over the middle. he could be good, but i was in no way blown away or overly impressed with all the height. he could however be the answer for stud te the bills need. i have mentioned it before. after seeing how strong and athletic the kid is. maybe you just toss him the ball and let him make plays rather than win the game? he is big fast and powerful. hell antonio gates played basketball at ucla

you realize that is hearsay. gb apparently was interested too. under what circumstances would any franchise pass up an offer. is it possible that that is the partial story. maybe no wanted more than marshawn for the 3rd (player/pick) maybe not this years 3rd. also is it possible that lynch prefered to be closer to home in seattle rather than in no, bills did him a favor. if this is true why is it coming out in a little blub comment 11 weeks later? maybe i am wrong about all of this, but it is only speculation, just like that half-assed reporting during the game.

wait that makes no sense. the rules on here are that you can only compare him to other black people. thats why he is vince young, david garrard, jamarcus russel, and warren moon all rolled into one. i was actually thinking the same thing about elway. the only thing cam newton has in common with those other black qbs is that he is black

you IS right, they IS one. We should so something. ARE there a solution? I ARE very upset. They is screwing the fan base. We IS fed up with it. teach me more about business please. i am eager to learn...

because of newtons size, say he doesnt work out as a qb. i would be willing to bet that he would be a great te. at 6'6 250 and speed, how could he not, especially with his ability to sense what a qb would be thinking. it is not uncommon for qbs to be drafted as wr. hell if tebow was at one time thought of as a hb, why not. also just a thought, running the wildcat with a guy that big and physical makes him a legitimate recieving threat, not just show like when trent lined up outside. i am not advoacting any of this, but because of his build, and athleticism, he is a utilitarian player. i am betting he could make just about any roster at a different position

denver!?! what about cinci. they have problems everywhere there, but palmer has been there forever, adn since his acl he has been mediocre. id bite on luck on in a second if i where them

haha. whoops i just searched the roster page for wr and copied and pasted.

good to see we found our arguement in fact and research. current recievers, we can include practice squad for sh*ts and giggles Paul Hubbard 6'2 Steve Johnson 6'2 Donald Jones 6'0 David Nelson 6'5 Naaman Roosevelt 6'0 IR Lee Evens 5'10 Roscoe Parrish 5'9 Marcus Easley 6'2 Huggins Felton 6'2 Practice Squad Bobby Willaims 6'2 Rod Windsor 6'2 We used to have a problem with height on the field. That doesnt really exist for use anymore. That is one thing Nix has always liked, Tall reciecers. Its clear that that has been resolved. This is most likely one of the key factors on why we have been doing so much better in the redzone this year. Maybe you can create another topic where you just make things up, or bring up an issue unfounded in truth so that we can try and bring in a player you have heard of.

I love the bills as much as anybody, and have found more optimism with worth bills teams against far superior teams. with that said i have a feeling that the bills get slaughtered. 24-42. the pats are spreading the ball well, we have little pass rush/defense in general. running the ball is becoming an issue, and against a stronger offense will be even more important. i was more optimistic about playing ne in ne seeing as billy boy couldnt quite game plan against us with gailey just returning to the league, few games played, and a new qb. with 14 weeks of play i see the pats better prepared than early season. with lee and roscoe gone it will make it easier for the pats d. side note, our secondary plays better in zone coverage. we have a serious problem with our db's this year since playing more man coverage than years past. we have a bunch of great zone db's and we should float and play the football, and no real shut down players back there.

in a 14 game season, forgot that part

they looked like they gave up out there. thats from snap 1. he wanted to see how they would bounce back after a heart breaker with the steelers. they didnt, they pouted, they got pouned all day by the vikes(and refs)

just seems deflated. we were a team with a losing record and kept fighting for the past few games against some ok teams. they just seem to have come to the realization they are 2-9 and have packed it in

i am on the page with that one. just moved to okc. other than wild wings there is no other place to go. people i have worked with have actually been pressured by family to excommunicate friends because of the rivalry between osu and ou. college isnt really a problem down here since somehow a ton of kids here sign their life to the military with parents consent before they enter their sr year of high school. god i love sundays. its like being home again. haha

sarcasm anybody?

Easy. Because Lee Evans is getting the safetys to roll over to him. Andre Johnson is a product of another better reciever

meant to write 60 sorry guys

the last few qb classes seem super sub par. the guys who where picked high and are supposed to be the replacements for the Brady's and Mannings simply arent cut from the same clothe. Eli is good but nowhere near great. Rivers plays well, but are always coming up short, and being out west makes it difficult to follow. Alex Smith and David Carr are out or on their way out. I wish Big Ben was in jail. Romo might be the most overated player of all time. Sanchez is borderline awful on a good team. Stafford has the guts but cant stay healthy. Freeman might turn out to be the best in his class. How many times does Warner have to ride the bench or play in the Arena league to realize he is a HOFer. How long did/should Garcia have started. Kitna is pretty well in Dallas. For all the hype about new comer Kolb, a guy fresh out of prison could be league MVP. The NFL has a serious issue heading there way, and that is their product seems to be depreciating with every draft class. Injuries are up because players are no longer skilled. QB's cant read defenses to keep their team mates safe, and recievers dont know where to be or where the wholes are. As steroids become more prevelent, teh job of the OL backpedaling while holding off a 350 lbs d-lineman become more and more difficult(this is the reason for the 3 yard rule in the CFL) The NFL/Teams put no stock in investing in an athlete and progressing their investment. With the abilty to cut a player with little to no contract or monetary loss, franchises have a revolving door of performing right now, rather than protecting their 50mil(bradford). with college ball becoming big business, it is all the same. recruits come in, cant perform transfer, quit, drop out. hell auburn offers a class every year worth credit hours toward a degree that helps them find agents, and handle the draft. i love watching football, but i would say that the product on teh field across the board is going down

that is actually common in the ncaa. especially if you want to be drafted highly. how often do we talk about number of starts when looking for qbs? i dont know a ton about whats going on with him, but i would remove this from any arguement

i heard buddy like cam newton. why would he go locker/mallet when cam can be had much later than a top 5 pick

god they are 2-7, if this isnt a winable game(regardless of result) we have more problems than we thought

while kelly was great, the guys who love numbers would not like him. he had a bunch of seasons throwing for under 50% and his td-int was regularly around 50/50. the win column is what made him good

NFL franchise wont be dictated to the design/color scheme of their jerseys. god the giants and cowboys have been the same forever. that wont change with a switch to nike. college ball is different too. you have some schools like wisco that goes through addidas, oregon goes through nike. i am sure there are some reebok sponsored schools. i know ub has been back and forth from nike and addidas, those jerseys never change. nike holds the right to make the clothing for what the nfl teams ask them to make, they dont hold the rights to pay kraft, jerry jones, and al davis what to do. these are nothing more than ideas. some teams might make some changes to their uniforms, but i expect to see pretty much the same thing you see this year. i would bet that no teams will switch to anything posted on that blog
