I concur whole-heartedly! I can't argue much re: his inconsistent production but the whole passion and "fire in the Belly" references are Roll on the Floor funny! Hey, the guy might be failing in ways but to think that he's not giving every ounce of himself to try to rectify the problems and to try to win football games for this team is ridiculous.

Winner!!!!! Ding Ding!

As much as many of us love it, sometimes having up to the second access to everything is not necessarily a good idea. ;-)

Well I guess that's been sorted out now, hasn't it?

I'll be there if the old work schedule allows...

This would be interesting if who is "named the starter" actually mattered. We all know that WM will get most of the carries.

Nevermind, it was more in jest than anything...

Jay, I'm seeing signs of you getting sucked into the whining negative ninnies crowd and I can only assume this is not a cognitive decision, right? There's a life jacket waiting when you're ready.

I'm not sure but I would guess that Willis is going to see the majority of carries in the game. Isn't the naming of the starter more of a formality that we shouldn't be getting our panties up in a wad about?

I think Roy Williams looks pretty good....

Bill, I think you're a good Bills fan and I respect your right to express your thoughts but from what I have seen you have failed to even once convey any tangible evidence in the realm of offensive line play, assignments, and technique to support your insult laden and surprisingly empty claims regarding the play of some of our linemen, specifically Jonas Jennings (where I believe your observations were based on a game where the guy played with concusion symptoms) and MW. By no means are these two pro bowl performers but they are much more serviceable than they may appear to some and I have always atleast tried to back up these thoughts with game evidence. After a while "he's a piece of stevestojan" just doesn't hold up anymore...

Exactly so now you understand my point that just the plain fact that the Pro Football Hall of Fame has a weekly palyer ranking that happens to use passer rating as the stick for Qb's is not the proof that "greatness" or "productivity" should be measured that way any more than using passing yards is.

Ok thanks for the clarification. But (while I understand your point) I still have a question for you.... Would YOU rank a TE by receiving yards ? Hmmm...... Think about that one for a sec......

Bingo !!!! I sometimes can't believe the self-generated soap opera nonsense that propogates around this board. As if Troy had any intention at all of "showing" JP something or even hitting him. I was wondering how many replies down I might have to read before finding some sense. I guess we can probably thank WGR for a seed well planted.

I strongly disagree that the Pro Football Hall of Fame uses passer rating to judge Qb's. A quick look at the QB membership will reveal to you a host of tough guys, winners, leaders, and surgeons (the only group who would probably refllect your theory of how ratings are used in the Hall).

I know where you're going with this HD, and we've seen it here before but as a nuetral party here when you look at your list (based on rating), it can look just as silly as a list based on passing yardage. (Kurt Warner 2nd best qb in NFL history ?? Bah!!!) Again I understand your point but it kind of blows up in your face. To add, QB's that run a west coast offense must all be the best quarterbacks ever , right?

Yes, I was refering to what they knew of his character prior to becoming a Bill which is what counts when you evaluate the decision to draft him.

Jerry Sullivan, of the Buffalo News, just said that Bledsoe is done!

Good point!

Is it because of the Flutie / Johnson debate that we all (well not all but most) feel we must completely polarize ourselves to the point that if we like one guy at a position, we must hate and ridicule his counterpart? Just wondering.... btw. I like them both but agree that Willis is the better option now. I choose not to throw away all the heart and effort and production TH has given us since his arrival and simply throw him out like yesterday's news. And I still like Willis. Imagine that !

If Im an owner and you're my new GM and you tell me you're gonna take a guy who has already revealed nationally what an A$$ he is and that he is going to hold out before the draft even starts over a guy of equal talent with a much better history of character, then you're fired before you even get started.

I believe he had 3 sacks (or 2 1/2) prior to the Raven's game AND has stopped the run consistently all season.

Don't worry MDH, it's only the fans who are "attention span challenged" who exhibit such foolhearty thoughts.

I think you are on to something there, simply based on Drew's stationary point in the pocket. Plus MW takes alot of flack by fans (including Peter King) for errors/ sacks given up that weren't even his responsibility. This in addition to the errors that ARE his responsibility which is bad enough. Bottom line, he has not reached potential, but hindsight critique of a GM's decision on a unanimously highly rated player does not hold much water.
