He's pretty ordinary as Jim Brown said.

Sad but true about the being Urban's recruit.

I agree with this being the right decision for him. He has the chance right now. No guarantees going forward. Hell he could end up as the backup and not see the field again.

I found having Fumbles was a telling stat in my research.

I think most teams look at our RB situation favorably. Rex even alluded to how he viewed them yesterday. I have been an advocate for a set of "fresh legs' like Gordon, Gurley or Yeldon. If that doesn't happen and we have CJ back at the right price, it is not the worst thing in the world.

Some research. Using average yards/play, passing, rushing, sacks, 50 yard penalty for TOs and 20 yard bonus for TDS-everything. Category 1. Current starters who have started 100 games. The pipedream guys, have to trade for guys. Rivers at 5.82 is the best, Eli at 4.88 and Cutler 4.74 are others (he turns the ball over 1 ever 20 plays). Others of note: Rodgers 6.85, Peyton 6.55, Brees 6.01, Brady 5.99, Flacco 4.88, A,Smith 4.42 is last. Average NFL QB is at 4.99. Category 2. Current starters less than 100 starts. R. Wilson is #1 at 5.94,#3 is Luck at 5.51 and #5 Cam is 5.49. Wonder who 2 and 4 are? Nick Foles 5.85 and Kaep 5.49. Availability=in doubt! RG3 is middle of the pack at 5.02. People have mentioned Hoyer and Locker, who are URFA, they are pretty average 4.96 and 4.95. EJ is at 4.21, ahead of Carr, G.Smith, Bortles and McCown. Just ahead of EJ is SAM BRADFORD at 4.28!! This really surprised me. I thought he might me a good trade candidate. Not that this method is the be all end all, but is makes you pause to think. Other of note: Bridgewater 4.98 Tannehill 4.56 and Fitz4.30. Category 3. The rest. Mark Sanchez at 3.77 and Matt Moore 3.51 were amongst the bottom 10 guys along with McCoy, Flynn, Grossman, Kitna, Clemens, Gabbert, Clausen and Lindley. The guys in this category have terrible TO rates. Sanchez once every 19 plays, remember Cutler is every 20, Rodger every 37, Brady-34, Peyton-32. Finally, some people have mentioned Glennon-4.33, he's no better than EJ. Cousins is at 4.73 worse than Hoyer, Locker etc. In summary, when I first voted I went with other veteran, with Rivers in mind. Realizing that was a dream, I thought Bradford. Now I'm not so sure that the people clamoring to trade for Foles, don't know if he's available, aren't correct. Or, the folks who think Hoyer or Locker are an option for average QB play. Locker probably has more upside. These guy all protect the ball pretty well at around 30 touches/TO. Being an optimist, I found the whole thing a bit of a downer. Much more difficult problem to solve than I thought. My advice in this situation is, give yourself as many reasonable options as you can! And go through the process and hope. BTW, Kyle Orton was 5.13.

Cortland

I like him too. Sounds like he staying in school though.

Doug "The Bone" Marrone

Someone else who believes this.

It can't hurt

I disagree with this. We most likely will not be pass heavy, however a QB who can throw, run, manage the team and protect the ball is what is needed. Whoever it is. I have a pipe dream about Rivers.

Nice

Guys like Sullivan get their comeuppance eventually.

"Father time is undefeated"

It takes a real douce to make that your first question of a new HC like Sullivan did. Terry is not the smoothest public speaker. He does come across as honest and genuine though.

My bad. I just knew he was a FA of some type.

I'm dreaming I know. Philip Rivers.

Or Damon Harrison.

Vince Lombardi's rankings as OC for NYG prior to Green Bay. YPG 6,10,7,4,10 PPG 6,3,5,5,9 in a 12 team league. There were more than a few skeptics. Just sayin' ....The Missouri stance is fair, the wastin time comment and a few others aren't, because you just don't know.

You da man!!!

Absolutely. He is the only one who really can look out for his own best interests. The rest not so much.

Sometimes justice prevails!
