Cynical

Yeah, in the coaching department. Apparently wasting timeouts is just his way of "controlling the clock". No. Those other teams have coaches know how to execute those philosophies.

Don't hold your breath.

How about his ability to accurately assess the player's abilities?

And who was the HC of that Bears team? (Sorry. I could not resist)

So it can be done, correct? It was poor QB play that caused Lynch to get zero touches down near the GL, or to get exactly 1 (ONE) touch in the entire 4th quarter of the SF game? It was poor QB play that caused the team to take a time out because they were "confused" the Patriots did not have their punt team out on 4th down, deep in their own territory? I said it before. Watch how many of these BS problems will "disappear" once Jauron gets canned.

My point had nothing to do with which conference is better. It had more to do with USC vs. PAC-10, and Tenn vs. the SEC. USC dominates the PAC-10 because they are loaded with talent, more so than the rest of the conference. Since 2002, USC has claimed the PAC-10 title, or claimed part of the title. Compare that with the SEC. In short, Lane will not be working with a stacked deck like he had at USC.

Its not just the coaching blunders during a game, it's the whole package. Every coach makes game time mistakes, and so do players. A well prepared team can overcome those mistakes. A poorly prepared team cannot. Teams make decisions based on their preparation. A poorly prepared team leads to things like wasted time outs, confusion by the players because their opponents are not punting on 4th down deep in their own territory, etc ... In short, it's impossible to make confident sound decisions (i.e on where to throw the football) when the foundation for that decision is crap to begin with.

I am not dismissing it. But the concussion was not cause for all of Edwards problems last year. Edwards threw 3 picks in the Cleveland game. Those 3 picks were caused by: A. a concussion B. Trent being unprepared Two questions: 1. Was JP gone for the year because of that injury? 2. Who named Edwards the starter?

Heck, every team in the SEC should put up a plaque containing Kiffin quotes. Kiffin is going to learn the hard way that he is not in the PAC-10, and Tenn is not USC. Georgia, Florida, and Bama are loaded with talent, and are well coached.

Just for the record, can poor coaching cause poor QB play? I want to be sure that poor game planning, poor play calling, poor game management, and poor time management has absolutely no bearing on QB play ...

A.) Apparently you missed the word "beginning" B.) Yes, it's called starting the rookie QB before they are fully developed. Heck, Jauron declared McNown his starting QB BEFORE the kid even signed a contract.

Oh, the concussion angle again. Never mind Trent saying he felt unprepared for the Cleveland game. Did the concussion cause Edwards to throw 3 picks?

Great. As long as you continue to publicly support the loser when he does fail. Just keep telling us how nothing is his fault.

No. But Jauron's history with rookie QB's is beginning to look like a text book example of how NOT do something.

But when you spoke of those generalities, you applied it specifically to this case: If the promise was made by the Gators third string center, I could see your point. However, the promise was made by the teams leader, a fierce competitor who may go down in history as one of the best ever at his position. And I really do not think Tebow had anything to do with this plaque being put up. What I got out of the article was the school made the decision. I seriously doubt Tebow is nothing more than a product of a system of "false" praise.

Yep. Nothing like the head coach naming an unsigned rookie to be his starting QB. That's all Jauron and his apologists ever had to work with. Always too busy telling everybody why DJ CANNOT produce, and never showing any evidence of why he CAN.

And it will hard to uncover it when the coaching staff refuses to get off the spot where they buried it.

#1 - true #2 - true, with a caveat. Pats* will have the most time to prepare for the Bills #3 - absolutely agree #4 - I do not know about that #5 - Unfortunately, this one is on Monday night, where the Bills have sucked royally in recent history #6 - You mean "Shotgun" Schonert, our OC? Don't hold your breath.

Actually, there is nothing illegal for employees working "off the books". The problem is not reporting the income. As long as the women report the income as self-employment income (and pay the self-employment tax that comes with it), the IRS has no problem with them.

Oh, look. Another trademark Dick Jauron Signature Epic Collapse.

The thing that jumped out at me was that every starter on their OL is somebody they drafted or somebody they developed through their system. Compare that with the Bills. It may or may not mean a thing, but it does make one stop and go "hmmmmm ...".

To further expand upon this: Taken from the Patriots* website, the Unofficial depth chart (updated 3/20/2009) shows the following: LT Light, drafted by the Pats* in the 2nd round in 2001 RT Mankins, draftd by the Pats* in the first round in 2005 C Koppen, drafted by the Pats* in the 5th round in 2003 RG Neal, UDFA originally signed by the Pats* in 2001 RT Kaczar, drafted by the Pats* in the 3rd round in 2005

Oh, for f**ks sake ... Linky I will readily admit he is an excellent college QB, probably one of the best at the collegiate level, but a fugging stone plaque of his "promise"?! Before he has even graduated?!! They are going to look extremely retarded in Gainesville if (and that's a mighty big if) the Gators tank the upcoming season. Should have waited until he graduated.

I need to open one of those clubs, or at least make everybody think I am. That way I can partake in viewing the interviews and auditions.

I give them credit for trying every year, because they do actually try to do something. Now, they need to try and make their efforts produce positive results, something we haven't seen for quite awhile.
