Is this something that some football junkie came up with who has too much time on their hands? I can't believe that 2 GM's talking trade bring this up in negotiations...
AJ...If we do this trade you end up ahead by 50 points!
Marv...Got me there. I'll also give you our 6th and 7th round picks next year, but I hope no one knows about this chart, because now the deal is in your favor by 20 points.
AJ...DEAL!
:wallbash: -
I had high hopes for Everett becoming a passing threat when we drafted him, hopefully he has more of an impact this year.
More of an impact? Since he hasn't had ANY impact to date, it should not be too hard for him to attain this goal.

You put the best players on the field, regardless of pay. So if Walker turns out to be a poor investment, so be it. But it's better to be sitting on a couple of good options rather than saying outright that Pennington is not going to be the guy. As was the case with JP last year, the competition will do everybody good.
Pennington may have been a 7th rounder but we have seen street free agents blossom into great tackles. It's not the norm but it does happen. At the same time, the investment in Walker will no go unnoticed and if he is the man for the job he will surely earn it.
This is not a Bennie Anderson, Mike Gandy or Tutan Reyes type signing. If Walker isn't starting on opening day, Marv is going to have some serious egg on his face.

I'm thinking Preston and then Pennington beating out Langston Walker.
If this ends up being true, the Bills just pissed away a huge amount of money on Walker. You don't pay a guy that kind of money to be a backup now matter how poorly he plays in training camp.

First time watching it..."What did I just see?"
Second time watching it..."Holy sh--! Is that the first time he has EVER thrown a ball of any kind?"
All subsequent viewings...LMFAO!!!

Bonnie Franklin circa One Day At A Time Season 1 was a good 70s MILF, very perky and sassy....

The guy I was going with bailed for family reasons. Now I have an extra ticket for both games today. Just throwing it out there.
Can you throw in plane fare from Buffalo?

Go Hayley! A little eye candy goes a long way in terms of keeping me tuned in to AI!
The people voting for Sanjaya as a joke will have to up the ante in the coming weeks. It will take a lot more votes to keep him around for more than another week or so. -
Turner = $30 million plus 2 day 1 picks
What contract has he signed for $30 million and where is the deal for 2 day 1 draft picks? When it happens, come back and see me. Until then it's nothing but speculation.
-
I'm stunned at how many people say they're skeptical of Turner because he's unproven, and then turn around and say they prefer to get their RB from the freaking draft.
What the hell is the difference between an unproven NFL back and an unproven college back in the NFL? Plenty. And none of it supports the theory that a college back is better.
I have no problem with people being skeptical of Turner as a starter, but to say this because he's "unproven" essentially admits that you don't want anything other than a vet. So take your pick: Dillon or Brown. Oh, wait. Dillon is old and Brown isn't...ummm...proven.
We may as well wait until a proven back is available to us.
:wallbash: Agree 100%!!!!!

T-Bone highly recommends this show...for what that's worth.
-
Why? That move - as stated, would be idiotic. Doesn't matter how well he ends up playing, you could've have had him for less, i.e. his true market value.
A guy could buy a new car, pay $100,000 when it's worth $25,000. It could perform flawlessly for years, and he is extremely happy. Doesn't mean he's not an idiot
So how do you determine what Turners "true market value" is?
-
About this time last year, Edgerrin James signed a 4-year, $30 million deal. Thomas Jones fetched a lone 2nd round pick.
I find this extremely hard to believe. If true, Marv vaults to the top of the "Worst GM In Sports" list ahead of Billy King.
Once again...even if this is true, can we wait to see how the guy plays in a Bills uniform before getting the noose ready for Marv?
-
I'm NOT cheering for the team with the 1 year and out rental player.
-
To those proclaiming what a horrible deal this would be, it's only a bad deal if he doesn't pan out. If he takes the moments of brilliance in SD and turns them into 1500+ yds, 10+ TD seasons, Marv will be a genius.
-
Why would the Lions trade someone(Bell) they just picked up in the off-season?
-
I don't think there have been any threads on this. How about we trade for Michael Turner of SD?
-
Yeah...that was FREAKING COOL!
-
Anyone know why he lasted until the fifth round?
Here is a draft profile I found on him. Hopefully it provides some insights...
-
COLLEGE: Left campus ranked 13th on NCAA all-time rushing list with 4,941 yards…second-most rushing yards in Mid-American Conference annals…set school rushing records for yards (4,941), carries (940), touchdowns (43) and 100-yard games (21)…shattered school mark for all-purpose yards (6,038)…second in school history for total points scored (288)…second-team All-America by NFL Draft Report as junior and senior…second-team All-America by Sporting News as senior and third-team as junior…second-team by Sports Illustrated and College Sports Report and third-team by Associated Press…first-team All-MAC as junior and senior…second-leading rusher in nation with 1,648 yards as senior…MAC Player of Year by College Football News, second-team All-America by Football News, third-team by Pro Football Weekly and honorable mention by Sports Illustrated as junior…nation’s second-leading rusher as junior with 1,915 yards, including career-high 282 against Western Illinois…rushed for 230 yards in first college game against Eastern Michigan…played at Northern Illinois from 2000-03…liberal arts and science major.
You'd have good stats too if you got to play UB every year!
Kidding aside, I'd love to see Turner here. He knows what it takes to play in the NFL and has great skills vs. a draft pick which is always a crap shoot i.e. Tub of Goo Williams. -
Lawyers, start your engines:
"Tielman predicted the battle to retain the historic site as a public plaza with small-scale development will be fought beyond the preservation community."
This guy is an obstructionist, not a preservationist. How much F***ing green space do we need? What a joke he is. I have a good use for some of the waterfront money. Ask this numnuts, how much it would cost to make him go away FOREVER!

dib & 5wide, I agree 100%.

For certain problems that recur, duplicate subjects, bad subject lines - I was able to make a quick macro to execute a series of events. That makes life a lot easier. Expect to see me pestering the group to write better subject lines and to search for duplicate topics (instead of merging - they will be closed).

Interesting. Apparently Marv started a trend.
Don Pierson, of the Chicago Tribune, reports Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo and LB Lance Briggs met to discuss Briggs' contract situation. Angelo offered not to use the franchise tag on Briggs next year if Briggs would play this season. Briggs has said he will sit out the season if the Bears keep the franchise tag on him. No agreement occured during the meeting.
I can't remember who has done it in the past, but Marv was not the first one to make this "promise".
AJ Smith will take Marv to the cleaners

I guess there was no other Turner thread where you could have posted this?
