  1.  

    You get arguably the top RB in the game (top 3 at worst), in his prime, locked in for three years. He fits Roman's scheme, can do everything (block, catch, run). In exchange you give up a very popular player, but a guy who's shredded the same knee twice and who didn't want to be here.

     

    It's a win.

     

     

    Yes. I think the gut reaction to hate this deal is a (totally relatable) fanboi response.

  2. IMHO - McCown is filling the Kevin Kolb sized hole our team has had ever since that drunk tripped over a rubber mat. He is a capable, confident back up. Sadly, everyone is right that he will compete for the starting job and could beat EJ... but thats only because we don't have a starting qb.

     

    Now, I hope we send Tuel to the practice squad (Tuel is not an NFL football player, anyone who tells you otherwise missed Tuel's brief and embarrassing foray into meaningful game play). Finally, we get a high ceiling guy. Either a miracle trade or a late round athletic type with drug issues.

     

    I'd like to note that despite the above, I've never felt better in my life.

  3. I say we

    - keep Fred (forever, like the pope, Fred is a Bill until he dies or asks to go live at a nunnery)

    - put Bryce on some sort of strict anti-fumble diet..

    - get a truck for Roman to drive through holes.

    - respectfully let CJ go to the Jets and I for one will be equally happy if he succeeds or fails.

     

     

    - Also, lets get Mike Williams back! Marrone clearly benched that dude out of spite. Marrone is a spiteful little witch. Mike would play TE if we asked politely.

  4.  

    As an individual who works in PR- there is no way he wrote that all by himself......

     

    then Lord Mac, as a professional, I'm sure you know that nobody writes anything all by themselves.. if they did, you wouldn't have a job.

     

    The league's hang up on Josh Gordon is pathetic. Almost as pathetic as the hundreds of pages this board has dedicated to deflategate.

  5.  

    I am not saying he definitely will, but you just cannot know that for definite that he won't. Alex Smith was 5 years into a hitherto below average to downright awful NFL career and then Greg Roman arrived, helped him simplify his thought processes as a Quarterback and he improved drastically. It is not complete madness to say the same could happen to EJ.

     

    That's the most delicious cake I've eaten this off season. thank you.

  6. Terrible accuracy and no zip on the ball. EJ never throws with zip. Always wafflers or pop flies. He hurries his route reading, often missing wide open options.

     

    I think its a mistake however, to define taking him out as admitting he's a draft bust. Life is long, the kid has tools, he's a strong dude with a great attitude and lots of upsides. right now, he is not a starting qb in the nfl, that's all. We gotta sit him, and we gotta frame it as 'development', 'best for our team at the moment' etc. etc.

     

    i don't hate ej, hes just not the guy that gives us our best shot at winning, right now.

  7. yeah. From a fan standpoint its great, but I can totally see the numerous reasons the business side of the NFL will never allow it.

     

     

    Also, Pegula is a pretty good security blanket for the team in the area.

     

    Pegula is mortal, and the Pack are one of the most financially viable teams in the league. They never take hand outs from the league's communal pot, and always pay in beyond their statutorily defined minimum... Your totally visible numerous reasons all revolve around the NFL's desire to protect wealthy toy collectors, not the betterment/sustainability of an American pastime.

  8. Unfortunately, Texas A&M has to defend their trademark or they risk losing it. Not that it should even be a trademark anymore, since it's become a genercized football term. No one outside of Texas could even tell you the 12th man was even an A&M thing.

     

    My 2 cents (as a trademark attorney), Texas A&M has the right to send C&Ds, and act like a dick till the cows come home..... but actually filing a suit puts their shaky, old, increasingly weakening mark into the spotlight. The name of the game isn't "PROTECTING" - it's using and obtaining a clear identity in the eyes of the consumer.

     

    You state the problem in your analysis, no one relates Texas A&M to the 12th man outside of Texas. By your assessment, no one sees the cripple's website and thinks "oh Texas A&M is sponsoring the Buffalo Bills bid to stay in the rust belt.. that's nice" - thus, no consumer confusion and a very weak case.

     

    If Texas A&M wants the mark on a national level - they'd be way better off running a few national ad campaigns. Suing people with no hands or feet (Juries, bro), in far off locations (which already have a licensed tie to the phrase, see: the stadium wall, thus the consumer audience being catered too has even less of a chance of being confused)........ might get their registration cancelled.

  9. +1. The majority of owners (75% sticks in my mind but not sure if that’s the number) have to approve the sale and no way someone like Jerry Jones would go for this since it would most likely affect the value of their franchises.

     

    Just like if you sell your house for much less than the market value, it will lower the value of your neighbor’s homes until others sell because values are based on comparable sales. In that situation, you can do whatever you want but imagine if your neighbors had the right to veto your sale.

     

    Such a nice idea, and conceptually legal for sure. But yea, as I've harped about on this thread in the past - NFL Owners won't let anyone devalue their toy collection.
