I think perhaps there are two prevailing views regarding what a sports message board is supposed to be:
1) a means of ascertaining an objective truth through the collective commentary. Sort of like slowly chipping away at a stone until a beautiful sculpture is revealed, this camp wants each post to be its own unique contribution to the Truth that the thread eventually discovers;
2) an outlet for sports fans who, although passionate about their team, don't have too much free time and thus can't be expected to slog through all 18 pages of a thread entitled "Sherman to be named Bills head coach" before posting their idea about that topic.
I'm guessing you might fall into category 1. I fall into category 2. I apologize in advance if I repost things - if so, please ignore my post (if you don't already as a matter of course). I try not to rehash things already stated, especially when starting a new thread. But I simply can't promise I will take the time every time I post to account for every single idea that has already been offered.

Why not let the community "vote on" or "rate" individual posters and/or threads, like some other message boards do? I prefer market self-regulation to leftist rule-making, command-economy interventionism. More efficient, and more friendly.

(why not just accept peoples' apologies in advance, i.e., "sorry if already posted"?)

Moss v. TO 2x/year
-
Yeah, I don't think that's too bad a list, especially when you add undrafted free agents.
-
If Tennessee takes a QB I have to think it will be Young. McNair and Young are very close personally, McNair wants to play another year or two, and so it's the perfect situation for both players and the team.
-
Perhaps Young, with Mularkey as his OC. Maybe Cutler, with Saban's SEC background. Leinart would surprise me.
-
I agree that it's time to start thinking about London's replacement. If we can land D'Qwell Jackson in the second round (unlikely), it's a great pick.

Vernon Davis, TE, Maryland.

Eslinger is wayyyyyy to small for the system we're likely to run. If he goes anywhere, it will be a zone-blocking team like Atlanta or Denver.

Dude move on. The Bills are in one of the smallest markets in the NFL. There is no salary cap for coaches. THEY ARE NOT A PUBLIC ENTITLEMENT. What do you expect Ralph to do? The market will dictate that the big-market teams will push coaching salaries up to and past the point that the small market teams can rationally afford. The only way the small market teams are unaffected is if they have a filthy rich, irrational owner who cares more about winning than being solvent. I'm sorry, if that's your expectation of Ralph, it is unreasonable. That's not how the business world does or should operate. I've heard little to suggest that Sherman was that much more qualified than Jauron that he definitely should have been hired, and I'm not going to fault the Bills for not insisting on paying Jauron more even though he was willing to settle for less. Get real.
Also, Bates also turned down Houston, IMO for similar reasons - and Bob McNair is even wealthier than Ralph.
-
I'm almost certain Bates wants more than they're paying Jauron... that is a dicey situation that doesn't have anything to do with frugality.
-
Yes.
$50 and you can have my good (reliable) info.
-
I think so...
FIRST CHOICE: Mularkey (what does it say that they wanted Mularkey more than Jauron?)
SECOND CHOICE: Levy (at least, he was his own second choice)
THIRD CHOICE: Sherman (just a hunch here, I think he was the guy but talks broke down over the weekend; no source, just my gut from what I've heard)
FOURTH CHOICE: Dick.

1) Welcome to the Board.
2) What if the fans, AND Marv, are BOTH stupid morons?
-
Um, wasn't it you who claimed to have a "source" telling you that we'd end up with Marty or Jeff Fisher? Am I wrong?
-

Phew.
Sign me up for $1000 in season tickets. Hell, how about a luxury box? Also, I think I'm going to buy oodles of merchandise on top of that. In fact, I think maybe I'll purchase a commercial where I talk about how happy I am with this hiring.
-
Sounds like sour grapes to me...
-
-
Well I agree, I'm sure they'd give Sherman the chance to meet with these guys and interview them himself - but they'd rely on the HC interviews as a preliminary interview and highly recommend to Sherman that he hire them.
-
No source, just speculatin'. If that happens, Marv will have assembled in two weeks a more experienced, qualified and exciting group of coaches than Donahoe put together in 5 years.
Wow.
** Disclaimer ** Admittedly my earlier posts bashed the idea of Sherman when his name was first thrown out there. Well, I was wrong, or at least the Packers fans who so graciously posted here have changed my mind. The guy is likeable and prepared, and seems to make halftime adjustments from time to time - something GW and MM never bothered to do (their game plan was: 1) pound head against wall 2) repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat...).
-
Yes, positive. Of course I know Capers is white. Try exercising your brain just a smidgeon and you'll understand my theory.

I'm sure he would love to come here for backup money and be a backup to Willis McGahee instead of going to Philadelphia where he could start for a successful, established team.
Is there ANY crazy idea that doesn't get its own thread on this Board?
