QCity

We should have traded our first 6 picks of the draft, we can always draft a Brady-type QB in the 7th round. Errr, screw Brady, trade the 7th round pick too - we'll just get Peyton Manning in FA.

You think we can flip Thad Lewis for picks??

If we keep 2 and bring back Brad Smith, it would be like getting an extra roster spot. Plus Hackett could draw up some Wildcat formations.

They took Jaworski's name off the stadium years ago, since he has basically given zero back to the community and behaves like a schmuck in general. Maybe they should do a "30 for 30" episode about it.

Marrone doesn't drive, he walks to work with his lunchpail in his hands. Both ways. Uphill.

470 yards of offense, 229 of them on the ground. Our D held them to 210 total yards for KC and didn't let them score a single TD. Just brutal.

I'm still waiting for "Did this team just get better with the injury to Kiko???" Good stuff people.

This would be an incredible spot for tailgating - a lot of room down there. It seems like a long shot, but the new owner would have to see some solid number on cleanup costs before ruling it out.

We are going to have a great team on Madden this year.

I don't mind that area, but I just don't think they have the room? http://www.19ideas.com/stadium?id=1399 It's 1/4 the size of the current parcel the Ralph sits on. Maybe if they buyout the neighboring strip mall?

A football stadium on its own is not going to transform an area, those 8 home games are nothing compared to a baseball stadium's 82 games over a 6-month span. What a football stadium can do is buttress an already developing area, such as Canalside. You need to look no further than the Ralph for proof - in 40+ years the only economic developments in the immediate area directly attributed to the stadium are what, a few bars? You build a stadium alone in a ghetto and 20 years from now you are going to have a stadium alone in a ghetto.

Place the stadium yourself with this nifty website. For example, the "Perry Projects Get Demolished" site. The "Let's Destroy The Nature Preserve" site. and my personal favorite, the "Let's See How Many Drunks Go Over The Falls" site. Who needs a consulting agency?

No, no, no, you've been misinterpreting my rants in other threads. I'm negative on the Watkins trade, but not the player himself. I think Watkins has the skillset to be a great #1 WR in the league, I even mentioned it to Kelly in the last post you quoted me in. Giving up next years #1 is what bothers me to no end, but I don't want to get into it and derail this thread - you've read my reasons why in other threads. It may sound like I'm down on Watkins because I've previously stated that you can realistically expect him to touch the football 4-5 times a game this year. That's not so much a knock on Sammy as it is the result of playing in a Hackett-coached run-first offense with an unproven 2nd year QB. I honestly think that's a realistic expectation for his 1st year on this team. I'm very confident he's the best receiver in this class, but I'm not certain he will lead them all statistically this year - someone with a Pro Bowl QB (Cook, Adams) could easily put up better numbers than him this year.

Oh, and for the record it will be more like Hard Knocks 2014 in Rochester. They show very little footage of the pre-season games (look a shot of Niagara Falls!) - 80% of the action would be at SJF.

Well, I guess I should of said "Yeah, but I never said any of that and I agree with most of your points except the one about the statistics."

Coming from New England, you would think they would have these incidents on tape somewhere... /rimshot

I made the 60% connection to him because there is no way in hell a #1 WR is going to catch 60% of his passes behind the LoS in the NFL. I don't think anyone who is sane would argue that. I do think he has the skillset to be a great WR in the NFL.

Yeah, but I never said any of that. Someone said the writer thinks "the quick screen doesn't work in the NFL." I said he interpreted that wrong, and that the writer is saying it won't work at the frequency it does in the ACC.

He's not saying the quick screen won't work in the NFL game, he saying it won't work at that frequency. Show me a #1 receiver that catches ~60% of his passes behind the line of scrimmage. Can you picture any receiver in the NFL catching that many passes behind the line of scrimmage? What works great in the ACC doesn't always work in the NFL, that's what he's essentially saying.

Yeah, they'll probably cut him before OTA's. Maybe he'll catch on in the CFL.

The used to call his older brother Arie, "Jason" - because he kept coming back from multiple surgeries. He also played OL at Alabama.

Teams that 1) have a new head coach, 2) made the postseason in one of the last two seasons or 3) were on the show in the last 10 years can opt out of being included. That leaves the Bears, Bills, Cardinals, Giants, Jaguars, Raiders, Rams and Steelers as teams the NFL could mandate to appear on the show. Link
