  1. maybe he's asking him how to be a good backup behind a veteran QB. Rodgers was a backup for 3 yrs before getting his chance and is a good case study on how to bring a QB along rather than throwing someone out there and hoping for the best and possibly killing a kid's confidence (which I hope doesn't happen with Manuel). i'm no kevin kolb fan but I think Manuel can benefit from a year of sitting and learning

  2. I was behind Ryan Miller in line at Wegmans on Amherst St in Buffalo. I didn't realize it was him at first, I was just like this guy in front of me is really tall and skinny. Then people kept coming up to him to get autographs and I was like ohhh It's Ryan Miller. I felt bad for him. He was just a normal dude like myself that just threw a hat on and ran to the store to get some food quick. I would hate it if I had to deal with people coming up to me while I'm trying to buy milk and sandwich meat. What's the point of getting an autograph on a piece of paper anyways? Who cares? People should leave these guys alone when they see them around town. They are just people like you and me.

  3. of all of the bad habits out there, I can't believe people still chew tobacco. that stuff is bad news. best case - your teeth and gums are going to be all jacked up and you are going to look homeless. and I think we all know worst case. if anyone here chews take a second to consider not only how bad it will affect you, but the ones you care about as well. I don't want to sound like an after school special but maybe seeing this happen to a superman like Jim will stop at least one Bills fan from chewing. again, we don't know all of the facts but it's a good lesson learn either way. best wishes to Jim. he was my hero as a kid so get well soon!

  4. Hopefully day 1 the financial advisors showed him how to put a condom on. As for the financial planning, I really hope he can stick with it and shows guys how to be smart with their money. I hate seeing these players sign $40 million contracts and a few years after retiring are completely broke. I get it, they are poor their whole lives and then overnight they get ridiculous money that we could only dream of and they don't know how to handle it. Maybe he can help start a new trend and show these young guys the right way to do things.

     

    Personally, I think the NFLPA should invoke a mandatory retirement plan for all players where 10-20% of your contract gets diverted into a 401k acct that the players can't touch for a certain number of years after retiring and then it pays it out in small portions like a paycheck. That would help solve a lot of these issues and help mend the bad stigma of the broke athletes that the NFL wants to distance itself from

  5. really? you want to have a bad year to get a pass rusher :thumbdown: . The only position worth tanking for is QB, All the others can be found elsewhere.

    this might come as a shocker but we are going to tank regardless. i don't see any sure thing wins on this schedule. might as well get a future pro bowler out of it. plus, he's not a sure thing #1 pick imo. Teams at the top always want a QB and there are a couple of good ones in this coming draft
