  1. What year do you think Jim Kelly retired, guy??

     

    Secondly, the point of the post was not to excuse Fitzpatrick or make a comparison to Cutler. It's to jar people out of this whiny mindset that we're the only team in the league that doesn't have Joe Montana at quarterback. And, that even teams who think they have a "franchise" guy under center have to suffer through terrible performances from that player.

    Hey, I'm just calling it like I see it. I really don't think the guy is a bad QB, I really don't. But I think he gets elevated to loftier heights by some folks based upon some fantasy aura that is attached to his name.

     

     

     

    Well, I guess you get a gold star for reading comprehension. So what does this prove about Jay Cutler again?

     

    Nothing. Like I said in my post. The video was for your viewing pleasure. The players are competitive and they want to win. Out bursts are bound to happen to even the greats of Peyton Manning, and Tom Brady.

  2. Yup, great. Manning, a sure-fire HOF quarterback with two Super Bowl appearances and one championship ring. I guess you missed the part where I said those type of players have at least a sliver of justification for acting out of frustration. Cutler isn't on the level where he can treat people like garbage and have it go down the drain the next day. And don't even compare the type of leader and teammate Peyton Manning is to Cutler. That's not a battle you will win.

     

    You missed your own part when you said "wouldn't (and haven't)". Absolutes shouldn't be used in arguments.

  3. Peyton Manning, Aaron Rodgers or Drew Brees wouldn't (and haven't) scream at a player and shove him out of the way like Cutler did. You aren't a good leader because you scream at someone out of frustration. And, even if they did , those guys all have Super Bowl rings and tons of personal achievements to back up their bark. What does Cutler have?

     

    I guess I'm still waiting for someone to tell me how or why Cutler is head and shoulders better than Fitz. Aside from ESPN hype and perception and how far he can throw a football.

     

    For your viewing pleasure of Peyton Manning chewing out Jeff Saturday.

  4. This may not be the best advice but this is what I did 3 years ago when I graduated. Do you have a monsters.com profile? dice.com? Linkedin profile? You need to get your name out there. When I graduated in 2009, economy wasn't so great, I literally went on those websites everyday and applied to jobs fitting my expertise from school. Job searching is frustrating, but takes persistence. Don't ever stop applying to jobs even after you hear back and have interviews secured. Having multiple interviews gives you the chance to leverage your offers.

    I recently finished a bottle of Laphroaig. I'm not a big drinker but I do go through 1-2 bottles of single malt/year. Laphroaig is by far the 'peatiest' I've ever had. It took a little getting used to, but very enjoyable to me.

     

    I second this. I love laphroig. Probably my favorite single malt whiskey. Real nice smokey taste and goes down fairly easy.

  6. He's one of the best passers in college football. Great accuracy, arm, and touch, and seems to be able to read defenses really well.

     

    What? I'm a huge Michigan fan and I couldn't disagree more. Anything behind the line of scrimmage, or within 10 yards is a good pass with great velocity. Almost anything past 10 yards is overthrown by 5 yards. Terrible accuracy.

  7. I am a Big Ten fan. Michigan fan actually. And I will say I would not draft a single quarterback from this conference. Maybe if Tate Forcier was 6'4 and didnt play for Rich Rodriguez I would say he might be a decent quarterback. But other than that, every Big Ten quarterback is not NFL caliber. Not Pryor. not Stanzi. Not Ben Chapel. Nobody.

    I've seen about a handful of Andrew Luck, and if he were to come out for the draft this year, he would hands down be the player I would draft. I'm quite scared of all the quarterbacks in this years draft. I don't think any of them other than Andrew Luck are franchise quarterbacks.

  8. Being a big Big Ten Conference fan, I've watched Ricki Stanzi play. An athletic quarterback who is injury prone as well as mistake prone. In fact he is very mistake prone, and generally Iowa wins when he minimizes his mistakes. No quarterback in the big ten is worth a look at the professional level in my opinion.

  9. Format-

    QB- Carson Palmer

    RB- Steven Jackson

    RB- Jonathan Stewart

    WR- Larry Fitzgerald

    WR- Steve Smith (NYG)

    WR/RB- Marion Barber

    WR/TE- Antonio Gates

    K- Robbie Gould

    D- Bengals

     

    Backups:

    QB- Chad Henne

    RB- Steve Slayton

    RB- LaDainian Tomlinson

    RB- Leon Washington

    WR- Braylon Edwards

    WR- Roscoe Parrish

    WR- Mike Thomas

    WR- Laurent Robinson

    TE- Jermaine Gresham

     

    I figure if I really need another TE/K/D I'll cut someone like Robinson if he doesnt step up as the #1 WR in St. Louis, or Leon Washington if he doesnt get a big enough role in the offense.

     

    What do you guys think?

  10. I read how the run blocking has been excellent, and I'm not trying to be a jerk or pee on our running game...But is it possible at all that our run game is excellent because our run defense still sucks like last year? Just curious on opinions.

  11. He's a whiney, pretentious a-hole, I can't stand him.

     

    But he sure knows his hoops and has a gift for recruiting. Good for him, he earned it this year.

     

    I love when windbags like Bob Knight criticize him for playing zone, like he's cheating or something. When that Syracuse zone is clicking and fluid, it looks like a spider web and is fun to watch. Most coaches that criticize zone don't know how to design a good one. Boeheim's ability to succeed with different players in that defense year after year is a testament to his ability as a coach.

    Bobby Knight and Jim Boeheim explain the 2-3 zone. If someone is always dissing the zone its Doug Goettlieb. I don't know why he has a job on espn.
