I heard him this morning interviewed on the radio. Not that his opinion matters, but it was interesting to hear his thoughts on this crop of college QB's pro potential. He is still very high in Mallett...says that Alabama is a different animal this year and his performace against them won't knock him down from #1. Thinks Jake Locker has proven nothing and does not see any leadership in him either, doesn't like him. He has not seen Andrew Luck really prove himself yet either, wasn't too high on him at the moment. Says Colin Kaepernick of Nevada should be getting the hype because he thinks this guy will be an excellent pro. So there ya go...another opinion from a guy that may know something about QB's (but last i checked is Graham Harrell even in the NFL?)
-
The Bills weren't going anywhere with Edwards so it doesn't really matter what he's gonna do with Jax. My opinion is that he will not have much success anywhere. His game is too weak for the NFL. He's a pretty easy QB to defend against. Blitz him and he will curl up into the fetal position or he'll dump it off for a 4 yd gain. It's not like Brady where he gunslings it all over the place and burns you. Trent's a below avg QB.
-
Yes. They are wearing throwbacks Sunday. Which all but guarantees a loss.
I think they wore throwbacks for the Miami game last November right? I was there so i should remember! That was the game where Fitz went off and beat the Fish 31-14. Hopefully he has the mojo in the throwbacks.
-
I would trade Lynch today if the deal is even reasonable. Seriously, he's not the difference from this team going 3-13 to 10-6. They're gonna go 3-13 with him or without him this year, doesn't matter. Marshawn is a decent back but he's far from being explosive. He's like Maroney. Spiller is a guy that I'd say is explosive and rare. Lynch may be a beast but he can be replaced much easier. Trade him, now.
-
god i would love to see Trent start that game. he's so easy to defend against. Not a threat to run...not a threat to step up in the pocket...not a threat to throw frozen ropes 25 yds down the middle of the field with accuracy (ala Tom Brady). That's about as much as you could ask for a defense.
-
i can't even imagine Levi in a real game where the defense actually gameplans against him. He looked so raw and unimpressive to me in preseason. Oh well, they all have to start somewhere.
-
Levi just went from poking a Bills voodoo doll with needles to them being his favorite team again. Let's face it. No one signed him after his release. HE has to be thrilled to be working in the NFL again.
-
You wanna see player mutiny? Start Brohm while Fitz is earning everyone's respect. Get real people
-
Fitz is like the chick who you know is really nice and would make a great girlfriend,,,but you keep bypassing her trying to land someone hotter. Then finally one day you say....hey, she's alright...and you settle down, lol.. Ok- well the Bills have finally seen the light and I'm very happy for Fitz. Finally he can be "The Guy" to lead a team and not have to be just a stand in or temporary fix. He's the QB for the Buffalo Bills this year,,,,and he's not gonna need to look over his shoulder at Brohm or Levi Brown. I'm happy for the guy. I think he's a gamer.
-
I mean WE (the fans) were screaming at the Bills and Gailey to get rid of Trent in the offseason let alone start him the first two games. I was posting on here in August to start Fitz vs. Miami. He just beat the Fish 31-14 last November with the same crap O-line. Jim Kelly has told them that Trent could not play...the media told them that Trent could not play.. but i guess Chan just had to see for himself, lol.
Sometimes, we fans really do know what we're talking about. You watch enough football and have enough of a body of work....you can tell who can play and who can't. Goodbye Trent.
-
the people obsessing over his 2 INTS and "inaccuracy" are ridiculous. The guy strung together some first downs and kept drives alive yesterday. I hate hearing people nitpick his performance. Overall it was really good and he's had some nice starts dating back to last season. He's not a fluke. Is Fitz an elite QB? of course not but he is someone that we are lucky to have right now. He makes everyone around him better, unlike the other guy who makes people around him worse.
-
I'll take that Fitz performance 100 times out of 100 over ANYTHING Trent can do. We saw it last year, the guy knows when to step up in the pocket or scramble. He can convert 3rd downs.... He always knows who the open receivers are and doesn't panic and is relatively accurate. Those INT's sucked but at least we were in the game to make them matter. One thing for sure, Fitz makes everyone around him better, Trent makes everyone around him worse. Fitz is harder for D-coordinators to defend, he's unpredictable. Trent is a D-coordinators dream. He is simple to defend. I would hope Trent never takes another snap in Buffalo. Let Fitz play out the year w/ Brohm backing him up, draft MAllett or whoever and let Fitz help develop that guy.
-
Those two INT's were killers, but guess what....with Trent this game is easily a 41-6 blowout. Fitz showed once again, he knows what's coming at him, he knows where to throw the ball almost everytime, he knows the situation and has pocket presence. His only problem is getting the ball there sometimes...but overall i thought he did a terrific job. He kept drives alive and called some great audibles. His presence made everyone around the offense better, as opposed to our other QB who makes everyone worse. I'm happy Fitz is the guy now,
-
Nice audible Fitz, damn thats good QBing
-
Fitz is only about 1000 times better than Trent
I tell youone thing, with Fitz its alot easier to tell when it's the QB's fault or the Oline fault. Today the Bills Oline and blitz pickup has been worse then the QB
-
RIght now, Fred is the best back on this team. Marshawn is strong and has has all the attributes but c'mon....he still has this awful habit of getting into open space and slowing down, looking for that side to side juke. If he would just run all out, straightforward and not worry so much about deeking out faster NFL players, he would be much better.
-
I think he says this to keep Spiller under wraps and not put undo pressure on him. They're gonna use him alot in the coming weeks i bet. All its going to take is one big run... or catch and run and they will keep him on the field more. It's ridiculous NOT to use him and get him up to speed in the NFL. I'd still use Freddie as the starter though.
-
The book on Trent has been written and now hopefully placed on the history shelves for good. Trent may look ok in practice. In a live game though, Trent needs the play to go exactly as played out on the chalkboard plus with 5 seconds of flawless protection. If any tiny aspect of the play breaks down and causes it to not be executed to perfection, the man has no ability to improvise. Of course nearly every play is gonna break down because defensive coordinators know he sucks...and they send extra people and rattle him into rushing his decisions (which often leads to checkdown passes or sacks). Trent is also the worst QB i've ever seen at trying to burn the blitz or completing a meaningful pass in obvious passing situations.
I saw McNabb and Shaub last week getting hurried and pressured like crazy and they managed to complete beautiful passes downfield. Shaub was getting crushed and still made plays. Trent isn't even in that same league of a QB.
-
Some of the talking heads yesterday were speculating he might retire mid-season if the Vikes go in the tank. I would love that. They traded Rosenfels and JAckson really isn't all that good.
-
Well, it's pretty clear that Evans (like TO last season) prefers Fitz over Trent. There are several Fitz plays from last season that Trent never would have "freelanced" on or audibled to or executed for that matter... (i.e 98 yd TD pass to Owens vs. Jax, long TD run vs. Miami and some nice hookups w/ TO, several nice passes in the snow vs. Indy)
Will Fitz beat New England and dazzle them with a 300 yd passing display? nah. But it will be nice to see a smart guy in the huddle, who can read a defense and make the right decision most of the time. Maybe the opposition won't play their safety's 5 yds from the line of scrimmage and shut the door on the ground game so easily.
-
I gotta say, i thought both Bell and Simpson ran REALLY HARD in preseason. I mean they both gave it their all on every carry. I won't forget Simpson bashing heads with the Cinci rookie Cornerback on a 4th down and almost killing each other. I'm disappointed we won't have either of those guys around.
Well, i guess no one wants LJ or Willie Parker right now.
-
Nothing major but interesting nonetheless.
-
I actually respect Chan Gailey MORE now. He has what it takes to yank his hand picked starting QB only 2 games in. SOme coaches would let this linger for a few more weeks b/f pulling the plug. I questioned Gailey's intelligence for making Edwards the starter in the 1st place, but now respect the man for realizing quickly that it was a mistake. Fitz or Brohm may not make this club a whole lot better, but i suspect they won't retard the play of the rest of the offense like Edwards did,
-
i sat and watched the game with a Green Bay fan. he just laughed out loud at that play. actually he laughed a few times as Trent was buried or ran out of bounds and was like, why doesn't he just get rid of the ball?!?
He was also amazed that Green Bay's deep safety was making tackles near the line of scrimmage, on short passes. I was like, dude- the opposition has so little respect for Edwards' passing game that they crowd the box to take away the run and short passes. He said he never has seen a more woeful looking offense than Buffalo. Of course we all know that. argh!
Lynch Trade Rumors

So i guess it wouldn't surprise me if Freddie and Spiller are the featured RB's this week. They play the Jets. A really good run defense. Why ruin Lynch's 4.7 ypc average?!? That would hurt his trade value.
