I was a huge critic of Hackett the first 4-5 weeks and I think he deserved the negative attention. The person you just responded to can't seem to admit that everyone on this team is getting better including Hackett. Some people just can't get away from an opinion they form no matter what the person does after that opinion is solidified.

He played better than Thad? How do you get there?

There's plenty of examples of QB's that have had "lacking college careers" that have turned into excellent NFL QB's. Certainly plenty that have had decorated careers in college that can't play a lick in the NFL.

Yeah wives get pounded.

Jerry Hughes is your guy at DE.

IMO, you can't even begin to evaluate Stevie based on this years QB situation.

Yep.

I think we win with Thad and come up short if Tuel starts.

There's a lot of players missing on that list.

I wonder if he's consciously being like that out of boredom and doesn't care for quote the spotlight side of being an NFL player. If that's true I can see him being endeared for it later in his career if he ends up being a star LB. If he's just not that bright than it will continue to be on the embarrassing side.

I've heard many others saying this, now it's my time. Welcome to ignore list.

Well I agree that they "could" pay this out without effecting the consumer but that's not what happens. It always gets passed down to us. So in theory it sounds great but you never get to the rich. What Hamza is indirectly saying is I want all of you to pay for my medical bills.

1) How do you think this kind of tweet from a Christian would be taken? Thank you Jesus for my family. I have to pay $120 a week to save my f-ing life. Peace be upon you. The NFL is driving us to kill ourselves. Praise you Jesus. FU NFL for slave trade. ?? I'm just saying freedom of speech is criticized differently depending on what your religion is. If Tebow tweeted the example above he'd get maligned for it and he should and most wouldn't be saying what does his religion have to do with it.

So in an effort to win now since our roster could be completely different in 2016 drafting a QB in the first round to maybe even back up EJ is the answer? That does sound simple. Simple minded.

How much more should the NFL charge it's fans to pay for what the retirees want?

I don't think his religion has anything to do with it. The post I replied to implied that he was being judged because of religious beliefs. My point was he wasn't. And if he was wouldn't it be disparaging to talk like that? Wouldn't that be the judgment if he was being judged by it? You took my post wrong, who cares what you think, it's called freedom of speech. So it's only freedom of speech if you agree.

So you don't want to wait 3.5 years you want to say EJ doesn't have it after 2 games? Brilliant idea. EJ hasn't earned us sticking with him, but he's earned being out as our QB? Brilliant!

Don't you think he went a little beyond voicing and opinion? What other religion would it be acceptable to talk like that?

I'm not sure how you could arrive to that opinion on EJ. Obviously you didn't want us to draft him but there's no way to say he's not a "real QB", yet anyway.

Flynn has a moderate to weak arm. I think Thad played admirably well considering the amount of time to prepare and with basically no NFL experience. Thank goodness it looks like Thad is playing.

I'm in favor of having him sit out until after the bye week and let him play the last 5 games.

yay, I don't now if you bring your sarcastic ether.

LaCanfora said Josh Gordon could be had for a 2nd round pick and a player. I'd jump all over that if I'm the Bills. But the source is wearing rainbow loom bracelets, so....

I'd rather he waits until the buy week is over. Take no risks and let him play the last 5 games to gain the experience for next year and beyond.

I don't see why the Steelers wouldn't trade their first round draft pick who is essentially in his rookie year after missing the first with an injury for a player they can't guarantee will be with them next year. I can see where a Steeler team that's 2-5 and last in their division seeing a lot of value in that trade.
