[So Much for "In Marv We trust"....]

This draft, with so many possibilities, has been totally wasted by a former HC who should have stayed retired......

 

Why do I keep hearing Jets fans laughing.......

 

Marv - Go back to Chicago, sit by the lake, and learn to feed the birds. At all, that's who your first day picks were for anyway....

and you need to create a new thread when other board experts already had many "idiot Marv" ones?

But several franchises, particularly those seeking a one-gap tackle, have now moved him ahead of players such as Michigan's Gabe Watson, Miami's Orien Harris and Texas' Rodrique Wright. Two general managers asked this week about McCargo had him graded in the lower third of the first round, and acknowledged his stock is rising.

[What happened to addressing the OL?]

I think I've been pretty consistent in my disgust with the OL.

676636[/snapback]

 

But your opinions on the remaining OT and OG prospects suggest you should stop pretending you're an expert.

[What happened to addressing the OL?]

Are you really this stupid? Or maybe you haven't watched the games for the past decade.

676619[/snapback]

 

I'm not the one pretending I'm an expert on evaluating prospects. On the other hand.....

[What happened to addressing the OL?]

Right.

 

I know a few things about these players:

 

1) They can't stop the run at the point of attack or take up an OL.

2) They can't block for a QB or RB.

 

That's all I need to know.

 

Championship teams have quality lines. We STILL don't.

Your opinions prove that all the board experts should stop reading mock drafts and pretend they know football more than the real NFL scouts.

[What happened to addressing the OL?]

Need I say more?

676570[/snapback]

 

Say what? say you don't have any clues of these players or you didn't see their names on all the 1st round mock drafts you read?

[Pencil-necked Gazoo draft grade]

I friggin HATE draft grades.  Completely inconsequential.

676421[/snapback]

 

 

You just took away the only occassion these board experts can pretend they know something because they read lots of mock drafts.

[Pencil-necked Gazoo draft grade]

its not nice to discount the opinions of 75% of the board...

676370[/snapback]

 

but...but...they read mock drafts and are experts on evaluating prospects.

[I'm done excoriating this pick]

Sure, he might. But take a look at all the late-round DTs we've drafted lately. How about that Anderson, Edwards, Sape and company?

 

Lighting up the league, huh?

 

675308[/snapback]

 

Please reason how the performance of past DTs guarantees the DT(s) drafted after 1st round THIS YEAR will be bust(s)?

[I'm done excoriating this pick]

For one thing, they're playing at the position that (ouside of LT) is the THINNEST on our team.

 

For another, they are at the point of defensive attack.

 

Do you still think the draft is only one round? What makes you think Marv won't address the DT position in following rounds?

 

 

need I remind you that our "hall of fame coach" has just as much GM experience as you or me?

675290[/snapback]

 

And let me remind you that our "hall of fame coach" has evaluated college prospects for a long time and has much more REAL football experience than you and me.

[I'm done excoriating this pick]

even in gambling, some bets are better than others.

675268[/snapback]

 

What makes you think Ngata and Bunkley are better bets than Whinter? The media and mock drafts say so?

 

What makes you know much better than a HOF coach? because you stay in Holiday Inn last night?

[I'm done excoriating this pick]

So, who should they have picked at #8? You're an experienced NFL GM, let us know.

675242[/snapback]

 

He must read lots of mock drafts which only cover the 1st round to make he believe the NFL draft has been changed to be only one round.

 

Wait and see who Marv drafts next and how the DT position is addressed.

[I'm done excoriating this pick]

It's not calculus, it's football. You need a DT in the worst way imagineable. A quality DT is available, you take him.

 

It's that easy.

 

Want a good example of what ignoring the lines in favor of drafting "best player available" means?

 

See: TD's tenure in Buffalo.

675188[/snapback]

 

Last time I checked, there're seven rounds in the draft. Since when a DT drafted after 1st round is guaranteed to become a bust?

[Whitner-not a shock to all]

but...but...most of the fans on the board read much more mock drafts and are experts to evaluate a prospect.

[I'm done excoriating this pick]

Let's see how many more picks Marv wastes today.

675146[/snapback]

 

Right, Marv should be fired before any of the rookies he drafted play a game in NFL because some fans read lots of mock drafts believe they know much better than a HOF coach.

[OFFICIAL NFL DRAFT DAY 2006 THREAD!]

Looking at Leinhert, I can only imagine him saying to himself, "I should have come out last year..."

[Bills sign OG Tutan Reyes]

He was beaten repeatedly in that game, not just on that one play, and not just by Bernard. 

672354[/snapback]

 

You still use only one game to evaluate a player, and on that game, the whole team didn't play well.

[Bills sign OG Tutan Reyes]

Are you seriously trying to use these stats to decipher what happened in a game that you can't recall?  Here, let me help you since I watched the game with my own two eyes.  First of all, Seattle uses a DT rotation, which renders your individual stats meaningless, and second of all, Seattle flip-flops their tackles like most teams will do depending on formation.  So yes, Bernard did go head to head with Reyes.  On one particular play, I saw Bernard blow by Reyes like he was a turnstile, get held from behind by Reyes and STILL get to Delhomme.  Great play by Bernard, but still very poor blocking by Reyes.  The entire Panthers line sucked but I don't see how that excuses Reyes.

Great analysis....................... not bad for an analysis based mainly on one play of a game against the NFC champion.

[Bills sign OG Tutan Reyes]

Before someone question why Panthers let Reyes go:

 

http://www.buffalobills.com/blog/?blogger_id=1

 

REYES RESEARCH: Some blog followers have been asking so I did some homework as to why the Carolina Panthers aren’t interested in re-signing Tutan Reyes who made a free agent visit with the Bills Tuesday.

 

Talking to some people familiar with the offensive line situation down there, the Panthers coaching staff believes that second-year guard Evan Mathis is ready to take over.

 

Apparently the coaching staff was thinking about making the move and insert Mathis into the starting lineup at midseason last year in place of Reyes, but the team was playing well and winning so they elected not to do so.

 

It’s been explained to me that the Panthers liked Reyes and thought he was decent last season. They just believe he’s reached his ceiling as a player while there is considerable upside in their minds with Mathis their third round pick last year out of Alabama.

[Bills sign OG Tutan Reyes]

He can back up Davin Joseph, while Fat Bennie backs up the buffet line at Sizzler.

672186[/snapback]

 

Does this mean Fat Bennie and Fat Mike will be teammates again?

[The Saints are on the clock...]

Jets will not draft Leinart, especially if NO takes Brick as expected and leaves Mario for Jets.

 

Unlikley that Raiders will trade up for Leinart. They would more likely target Young or Mario in a trade.

671907[/snapback]

 

 

Saints won't draft Brick. They have moved J.Brown to left tackle and don't need to use a #2 overall pick to draft a right tackle.

 

It's also unlikely that they draft Brick to be their LT and move J.Brown back to right tackle. Don't forget Brown was the #13 overall pick last year, Saints don't need two young players with left tackle contracts and have one of them play RT.

[FWIW, Prisco says Bills interested in Cutler]

Prisco's the lamest guy in the Internet sports biz.  Wait, I just thought of Mr. PFT...OK, second lamest.

Where do you place that Yahoo Robinson who spreat the rumor of BIlls shopping Losman? Also, Where does Soprano3695 rank?

[Matt Leinart will be a bust.....]

There is no way in hell he threw over 30 yards like you said

666437[/snapback]

 

Don't put words into my mouth again.

 

I never said he threw over 30 yards, I only repied to your claim that the pass was only 7 or 8 yards and said it was much more than that.

 

The pass was indeed much more than 7 yards. Get your fact straight next time.

[Matt Leinart will be a bust.....]

ok ....8 yards.  He didn't hit the marker when he caught it.

666429[/snapback]

 

get your fact straight before you open your month. It's ok to criticize a player, but get the fact straight.

[Matt Leinart will be a bust.....]

On that 4th & 9....it was a perfect pass.  Buf for about 7 yards with 20 to 30 yard run.

666426[/snapback]

 

Anyone watched that game knows the pass was much more than 7 yards (in the air).
