Walter Football: Bradford vs. Clausen Comparison
Brand J replied to Thurman#1's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I hope the Bills do get Clausen at #9, but I wish we had a crystal ball to tell us who the most successful QB will be to come out of this draft... The Bills are DUE! -
If you all want a good laugh ready all this!

Didn't know Emmitt was fired (didn't miss him). What happened? -
UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos
Brand J replied to Kingfish's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
What I dont understand about Tebow: he decided to go back to college to work on his QB skills and obtain a higher grade in this year's draft. He hired someone prior to last year's college football season to work with him on his mechanics, yet this revamped throwing motion was never displayed during the season. He has yet again hired people to work with him, but I think his muscle memory may be set. As they say, "you can train a fighter to do things this way and that way, but the moment he gets hit, he reverts back to the guy that he always was." -
A Sincere Request from YE OLE
Brand J replied to Cotton Fitzsimmons's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Isn't this the truth. If you all only knew what I've been through and where I'm trying to go. Let me rephrase that - where I WILL be Best of luck Cotton, in times like this, just try to live like the old cliche - one day at a time. Looking at the bigger picture often brings depression and doubt. You'll persevere, it's just another "test" that life has decided to throw your way... -
If New England offered a 2nd for Lynch?
Brand J replied to clearwater cadet's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Call me crazy, but I think Lynch is more talented than the likes of Sammy Morris and Antowain Smith... -

Why burn picks to trade back into the first round when he's likely to be there at #41? This is the mistake the previous regime made with Poz - trade down not up!! -
Funny, he managed to do quite well in the elements at Notre Dame. His hands are more than capable of gripping the ball in any element. He also has the option of going the Kurt Warner route and wearing gloves. The concern regarding smaller hands, would be a propensity to fumble at the next level (just like Warner). I'll take that chance, as his positive potential far outweighs his negative. If he does fall to #9, I hope he's the guy...

Lee Evans is ranked at #56 amongst WR's
Brand J replied to Jerry Jabber's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is the dumbest argument for the anti-Lee crowd ever. Until you people cite the specific instances in which Lee has failed to capitalize on opportunities to make plays, WHEN GIVEN THE CHANCE, your argument is moot. Evans does not drop the ball, runs precise routes that are called, and most importantly, he DOES NOT THROW TO HIMSELF!! You can have three of the most talented WRs lining up, but if you don't have anyone who can get them the ball, they will all look pedestrian. Trent Edwards: "There were plays out there to be made, but we just didn't make them for one reason or another." Lee Evans: "We had some missed opportunities certainly." -
Kong Suh! Kong Suh! Kong Suh! Seriously though, there's not too many QBs who would immediately bounce right back up, after that hit he put on the dummy.

I had never heard of Dan Williams until a couple of months ago. Going into his senior season, he was projected to be a late round pick ---> an undrafted FA. All of a sudden he's worth the #9 overall pick in the draft?! I think the same people who are clamoring for Dan Williams, are the same people who were clamoring for Robert Ayers a year ago - another obscure TEN player who seemingly came out of nowhere and shot up the draft boards. NO to Dan Williams!! Give me the fat Mt. Cody in the 2nd!

It's interesting you say that, because under the ESPN NFL Insiders headlines, a Washington Redskins logo is shown, while talking about a probowl running back being traded..

The league is all about "what have you done for me lately?". People dont like that Marshawn twice got in trouble with the law and is reportedly a jerk off of the field. Because he put on 15-20 lbs of muscle last offseason, he also lost much of the speed that he had (was never a burner anyway). When you couple that with the fact that Fred Jackson outperformed him, fans have determined that he is expendable. I remember the way Marshawn ran as a rookie and would've had a good chance of winning offensive ROTY honors if not for Adrian Peterson's monsterous season. He still has a lot of growing up to do, but personally I wouldn't trade him - the compensation would not be a fair return for what he could potentially bring to the 2010 team.

We shouldnt. Next question...

Celtic you obviously have NO clue and I don't know why I am wasting my time trying to educate you. As a quick reference to defeat your ENTIRE argument, remind me how many Probowlers the Pittsburgh Steelers had on their line when they WON the Superbowl a couple of years ago..? How about you actually do some research before making up garbage, you'll come off as a more intelligent poster. Peters is a good LT - not the best in the league and not worth his gigantic contract - but he is a good LT. If you say otherwise, you are arguing not only with me, but NFL personnel evaluators, as well as coaches and players who have made him a 2x Probowl selection. Saturday is a hall of fame center?! What are you smoking?? Here's some research for you to further defeat your argument Polian Criticizes Colts OL What are you going to make up next? Your argument is done and you have been disproven. Choke on that bowl of crow please, you'll be doing us ALL a favor...

Brohm, Campbell, Edwards, Fitzpatrick
Brand J replied to /dev/null's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I had never been sooo frustrated with one player before, until those plays happened. My blood was boiling I was so heated. It happened in back to back games too! After those plays, I wanted Trentative to accompany Dorothy on her trip to find the Wizard. Who would he replace? The Tin Man of course! Trent needs a heart... -
Brohm, Campbell, Edwards, Fitzpatrick
Brand J replied to /dev/null's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Should've put our emergency QB in the poll - Roscoe Parrish.. -
Why is he a clown? Because he's not named Sam Bradford? You, I, and 32 NFL franchises, have no idea which QB in this draft will have the most successful NFL career - it could be a QB that the Bills pick in the 3rd round. Clausen could also be a perennial Probowler, while your favorite QB Bradford is stuck holding a clipboard as a career backup. Who knows...
-
Nice bowl of crow? You think that you proved a point by stating Peters is a bum and not a premier LT? Need I remind you that a GOOD QB, not even a great one, but a GOOD QB will eliminate many of the sacks that Trent and Fitz take...? It's not a coincidence that poor QB play has also led to high sack rates. Why do you think Manning has only been sacked around 15 times YEARLY?! He must have one of the best OL in the league correct? Please.. Quick decision makers are an asset behind center. This is why you can have others such as Kurt Warner, going to the Superbowl, while having his blindside protected by our very own outcast LT - Mike Gandy. I guess Warner had 2 Probowlers on that offensive line as well huh? Because every team that makes the SuperBowl, your words, has at least 2 Probowl linemen. Might want to do some research on teams that have made the Superbowl in this past decade alone, before you start spouting what you deem to be "facts". I never said "a premier LT wouldn't help." Way to make up an argument. I stated that a good/great QB, is more important than a good/great LT. Peters actually played better as a Bill, than he did as an Eagle this past season, yet, gave up less sacks with the Eagles. Why do you think that is? Remind me, who was the Eagles' QB this past season? Is that individual considered at least a good QB?

One of my other favorite quotes from JohnnyFairPlay: "have you seen Jimmy Clausen as a freshman and sophomore? He sucked! Don't just focus on what he did as a junior, go back and look at his overall body of work" People are idiots and players aren't allowed to improve apparently...
-
I read and understand English perfectly well thank you. Do you understand what YOU wrote in YOUR own post?! Obviously not! You compared Clausen to all of the other failure QBs who have been drafted and stated nonsense, "all of these QBs looked as good, or better". It should tell you something when more than one person responds to your idiotic post and gathers the same message from it. Maybe your intention was misconstrued, or maybe you're just an idiot who needs to go back and study "main idea". Frankly, I don't care. The biggest help this franchise needs, is some one who CAN toss the pig skin!! What about that do you not understand?! Some people like punishment and enjoy seeing their team lose every Sunday. When the OL had Jason Peters trotting out to protect Edwards' blindside, why did he STILL suck when given time?! I give in - let's go into next season with Fitzpatrick and Edwards set to battle it out once more. According to you, these QBs just need some help..
-
You could just as easily insert EVERY QBs name into that sentence, but decided to focus on Clausen. Your argument remains the same if everyone's favorite QB this year - Sam Bradford - is inserted into your sentence. The performance of one human being, in no way correlates to that of another. We are all individuals and you have just as much knowledge as I do whether or not Clausen will succeed or fail - 0. At some point, our young QB is going to have to take the reigns of this team - would you rather it be now, or 2 - 3 years down the road? It doesn't matter if the ProBowl is a popularity contest - I'd take any of those ProBowl QBs over our QBs, before I take any of those ProBowl LTs...
-
Your argument is far from logical. First, was Dan LeFevour playing against the same level of competition as Jimmy Clausen? LeFevour didn't put up better numbers as a senior than did Clausen and was playing in a far less competitive conference. Sure, there may be another highly skilled QB (or two) next year in the NFL draft, but will the Bills be in a position to draft him? QB is the MOST important position on an NFL team - something that seems to get lost with many of you. Would I rather have a Pro Bowl QB or a Pro Bowl LT? That question isn't even up for debate..
