"TIME TO GET THAT WINNING TRADITION BACK TO BUFFALO"-- too wordy. Try for the simple and conscientious: "Win, please."

I was among the duckies and bunnies who posted a question, and lo and behold, it got answered. It was a softball, to be sure, but my curiosity was genuine. I'm sure I'm one of a liberal three who actually read the answer.

The verdict is impending, but incomplete, on McG. What seems essential is that we get a qualified figure on his value-- starting him now gives us the sum of the season to measure him-- before we make a decision on what comes next. Henry plays hurt, but is hardly durable-- that he plays through injuries is commendable, but to what extent they affect his play is the real measure of his durability. I agree that Henry is a better-known commodity, and that is to be valued, but I doubt he will be shipped for less than that value, or BEFORE we know McGahee's. We don't currently have two stud RB's, two known commodities. We don't even truly have one. We know Henry is a better than average back (who still has unrealized potential: what would he make of an entire season as a feature back, with his experience and knowledge of the new offense, without the enduring nag of injuries, old and new?) and we know that McGahee is likely better than average (and still has unrealized potential, with, essentially, the same questions as Henry); we don't know who is better, and likely never will-- there just isn't the time, or luxury, for mid-season comparative analyses. While I agree that we should be thorough in our analysis, I don't think a full-term, comparative analysis is necessary, or to be expected.

I con-friggin-cur! It's refreshing to see a dynamic, reactive gameplan.

Nice-- a thoughtful post.

He whistles his "s's". Who can respect a man who whistles his "s's"?

Seconded.
