Just in Atlanta

A little more interested in this than I probably should be, but it is cool to analyze our view of traditional intelligence vs. QB success. From last year's starters, the smartest and the dumbest: The Frasier League 1. Ryan Fitzpatrick 48 2. Alex Smith 40 3. Eli Manning 39 4. Matt Stafford 38 5. Tony Romo 37 6. Aaron Rodgers 35 6. Matt Leinart 35 8. Tom Brady 33 9. Matt Ryan 32 10. Matt Schaub 31 Jersey Shore League 23. Ben Roethlisberger 25 24. Jason Campbell 23 25. Brett Favre 22 25. Tim Tebow 22 25. Chad Henne 22 28. Bruce Gradkowski 19 29. Vince Young 15 30. Donovan McNabb 14 30. David Garrard 14 Interesting note: Four of the top 10 smartest QBs are named Matt.

Maybe I should rethink my idea about the Wonderlic. Says here Jim Kelly got a 15. Ditto for Dan Marino. While Kelly was one of the dumbest, Fitzy is by far the smartest.

Wonderlic claims a score of at least 10 points suggests a person is literate. Fitzy, as I'm sure most of you know, scored a 48. According to Wikipedia, the average warehouse worker gets a 14 and the smartest football position is OT, not QB. I've got to say I wouldn't want someone half as smart as an average warehouse worker marshaling my team. On another note, I just saw the Raiders depth chart on the Wonderlic story. Trent Edwards isn't even No. 2. And he's behind one of the worst QBs in the league, Jason Campbell. I still can't believe Checkdown was named our starting QB last year.

Tight end. Get it? Lame, I know. Congrats, Marcellosaurus, yer my first Peter Pan victim. Now that I have that out of my system...

I'd also be comfortable with $45 m.

Can't say I agree with most of those statements. And I also read that feature with the quote praising Brad Smith. In fact, this report quotes a scout who says the Bills' only weakness is lack of a tight end.

Stafford looking hot too.

I've heard plenty people say that Detroit makes them nervous. Never heard that anxiety directed to the city's football team.

What PTR said.

I do. Will be there for the opener.

Did the Bills get some bad calls by the refs last night? Yeah, but the Jags got one or two too. I assure you, there is no officiating conspiracy against the Bills. Further, Stevie and God are tight now, so cosmic forces will be on our side for a change this season.

BIG MIKE with the fumble recovery!!!

I think I just saw a first challenge of a review of a call ever. Next year can we challenge challenges?

Will the powers that be listen to everyone--the fans and pundits--and reverse this idiotic new kickoff rule? I'd rather we just start on the 20 than watch touchbacks every other time.

Ugh. Bring in Brad Smith.

Despite the score, we look better than the Jag-u-wires.

Every fan says the refs suck when they make a call they don't like. These refs really do suck. Let em play ball already.

If he's going to call em the Jagwires, he should call the Bills the Biles.

Overall looking good. Chan man likely will make the first stringer defense play another quarter to get some much need tackling practice.

Yay. Another touchback. Exciting!

These refs are awful. Bills, however, looking great. This Bills fan is happy so far. Don't worry about the Gerrad TD. He does that to the best of them.

Does anyone know where to get a free link? Keeps on saying search, but I can't find one. Thank you.

It wasn't steroids Merriman was smuggling. It was a carton of Prozac. Morale will improve when we beat KC. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGpQ4O0poB0

As the creator of this thread, I must say now it's not a good one. Was trying to make a point, but as posters pointed out, it's not logical to use guys from 10 years ago. If I post another bad thread like this one again, may someone run over Pat Moran's cat. Moderator: Feel free to close this boring thread.

We are all beating a dead horse here. Over and over. I'll beat it again. There is something seriously wrong with the front office to not only get rid of our most valued veteran on offense but to only get a fourth rounder for him. It may have been good for Ralph's bottom line, but a horrible move for the team and its public image...which was finally moving up. Adding insult, we end up drafting another much lesser receiver after two WRs get injured...after the team says we have so much WR depth. I was really happy about this team's offseason moves until that move. Lee will be a valued asset for the Ravens. We have a great No. 2 (Stevie) and a cadre of talented No. 3s, but no No. 1. Even if Fitz turns out to be an above average QB, he will need that veteran downfield talent.
