Tortured Soul

Always keep the safety on.

I don't have Insider, so someone please share what it says. If it is totally misleading, I will delete the thread.

Second Lynch pick is in 2012. And FWIW, Steve Johnson has four TDs in five games.

So you're saying Ralph is purposely trying to sell the team on the cheap. Come on.

Presumption is it's going to be a weighted lottery, similar to what the NBA does. Sorry, I don't have the link, but it was from an ESPN story in their season preview.

Your view on Moulds is skewed by hindsight. If this board existed in 2007, Moulds would have been subject to the same treatment as Maybin.

Arizona is in first place.

Why in the previous three years did KC win 10 games while the Bills won 20? Same ownership, right?

Thanks, Phil.

So where were the breakdowns in protection coming from yesterday? Were they all Green? Were they blitzes? Was Edwards holding the ball too long? I didn't watch, so any input is appreciated.

I'll take your word, since I didn't watch the game, but Miami scored 7 offensive points last week, bringing their season total of offensive points to 20.

I read it. Still want to draft him.

Two points; When it's not Edwards, Evans averages 54 catches, 880 yards and 7.4 TDs per 16 games. Debatable whether that is No. 1 receiver numbers. Also, Evans best year came in 2004 with Drew Bledsoe, who was a multiple Pro Bowler, even if he didn't make it that year, and threw for over 40,000 yards in his career. So, I don't think it's fair to conclude that any of those QBs are better for Evans than Edwards. Let's see the numbers broken down further.

Third and final try... The point is you should be trying to make the better argument. Yes, he went to Ohio State, but if you know there's more to it than that, say so. If you want to say he is not a consistent passer, why not? And writing he will never be a starting QB is pretty conclusory, isn't it? Not really much of an argument. The reason I think you're being disingenuous is because you do things like call him 5'11, while linking to a site that says he's 6'0. I'm done. Good luck, tbone.

You missed the point, so I'll explain it again. People can legitimately take different sides on Troy Smith as an NFL quarterback. To reduce the pro-Smith argument to "he went to Ohio State" for the purposes of belittling that side is both disingenuous and petty.

And nothing to do with that Heisman trophy. Come on, even if you don't agree with them, at least you can be a little less disingenuous.

He doesn't seem to be doing his regular Friday at 3:00 chats. He always liked to push the envelope - did ESPN push back? Anyone have any inside info about the situation?

I didn't see the word "expert" on that page. I did see "guy" 26 times.

Can we just quit with the whole "expert" thing? Bill Simmons doesn't call himself an expert. He's a fan who writes a column for the purposes of entertainment, and he has never represented himself as anything else. Okay?

Good choices. I hated Drew Bledsoe and Ben Coates.

"The Bills are not a playoff team" passes for love these days. Wow.

Thanks for clearing that up.

Isn't there a window to activate people off IR, like Hardy was last year? Around Week 10? Being off crutches is not the same thing as being ready to play football.

More like, this is like 2009. Edit: Chris Draft, anyone?

No one on the list had their rookie season after 1985. Really?
