Tortured Soul

4-12. What else needs to be said? So there was only one #1 WR in NFL history? Because no one measures up to Rice. Nice work, 20 years.

You and I were watching different games today, because I was keyed on Bell the whole game and he looked very good. Yes, he had a false start. So did Levitre. Big deal. It's actually more inexcusable for a guard to have one than a tackle

Only 3 points on offense. This team needs everything.

I'm watching him get stopped right now against the vaunted South Florida offense.

Of course you'd trade Kyle Williams if it means getting Luck. If we can have five losing seasons and the worst run defense with him, then we can sure do it without him.

Name it.

Mike Singletary has never been a defensive coordinator. It might be premature to call him an excellent option.

QB isn't a hole on this team. It's a gaping chasm. It's the Grand Canyon. Until this team gets serious about addressing it, forget about competing. The Ravens had the greatest defense in the history of the NFL. Not only did they set the record for fewest points allowed, they gave up 23 points in four playoff games. They allowed an average of 13 points per game in their losses. Maybe once every decade or so a team can win the Superbowl with a below-average quarterback. I don't want to wait for that.

It was based on the last game, and Nelson missed most of it.

Nothing so remarkable on the Bills: Fred Jackson on the first team, Donald Jones, David Nelson and George Wilson on the watch list. I don't think there are any glaring omissions. I think his QBs are a bit confusing. Michael Vick was the 1st overall draft pick. He wasn't unwanted by the Falcons, so much as he was incarcerated. Teams held off on picking him up due in part to the layoff but mostly due to the PR hit they expected to take. Still, Philly picked him up pretty quickly. Hard to really see the top overall pick as unwanted. His second QB is Drew Brees, and this one really gets me. His own team made him a $50 million offer (granted, it was heavily incentive-laden after his shoulder injury) to retain him when he hit free agency, after franchising him the year before. He ended up taking a $60 million offer, $10 million guaranteed. That hardly qualifies as unwanted. The best TMQ seems to be able to muster is that he was unwanted by the Dolphins, who decided to gamble on Culpepper instead (thank god). It's harder this year, since QBs who actually met his criteria in years past - Warner, Romo - are not viable options this year. Is there any decent QB out there that was unwanted?

But if he was involved, isn't that exactly what he'd want you to think?

Those are purely McShay's rankings and don't reflect Kiper's thinking. You also left off Locker, who gets a grade of 92.

Read what he wrote: "THE NFL ANNOUNCED that in future years, teams will travel to either Kansas City and San Diego OR to Oakland and Denver when playing the entire AFC West, and to San Francisco and Arizona OR to Seattle and St. Louis when playing the entire NFC West. The actual matchups have not yet been announced, so AFC West and NFC West opponents are subject to change." So, his projections based on 2008 are not going to happen.

Why would he have to sit next year? Did Bradford? Sanchez or Stafford? Ryan or Flacco? When you draft a QB high in the first, you play him.

http://espn.go.com/nfl/draft That is Scouts Inc.'s top 32, and Blaine Gabbert is No. 20. Where did the D&C get its info?

Five of the losses have been by less than a touchdown. Six were by more. The Bills have the fourth-worst point differential in the NFL. If you think this is anything other than a really bad team, you are kidding yourself. I agree that Chan is not in any jeopardy. But that is because he is in his first year and the Bills won't pay two people not to coach. He hasn't actually done anything to earn his position yet.

Aren't we against one-year wonders?

Onside kick?

Neither do Luck, Locker or Mallett. Or Tom Brady. But, hey, Chad Henne does.

I meant your judgment is based on one play. Moats is off to a promising start, and I am very hopeful that he can take the next step.

One play!

I haven't taken IP Law yet, but it would seem that as long as there is a licensing agreement (say, for a nominal fee), that would be enough to protect their rights from a public domain argument. I guess even that may be too much for high schools, though.
