He's been backed by a top a 10 D 3 times in the last 5 years (#1 in 2010). This has resulted in 1 playoff year, 1 playoff win.
Besides, why would SD let him go?
Gimme horrible outdated stats for $400.
Football Outsiders has 7, 29, 18, 32, 25 for the last 5yrs.

Twenty three pages... man is this team starved for a a good QB. Dreaming about Phillip Rivers is far beyond the dream for Sam Bradford IMO. The biggest reason why Rivers didn't re-sign with the Chargers is because,
"The stadium situation has become an issue with Rivers, who may not want to move his wife and seven (yes, seven) children to Los Angeles, if the team relocates."
How on earth could this team even afford to sign Rivers in 2016 when they can't afford to keep all the players they already have. Dareus, Gilmore, Bradham, and Glenn with the starting LT being talked about as the odd man out will just screw this team again for a few years. Remember the 2013 season with Rivers getting knocked about on a bad offense...
Not the fans' fault they know what wins more than our brass.
McCoy/Clay are worth maybe .1 wins. Rivers about 4. Go ahead and shout down the "idiots" who didn't make the decision to pay the former two a king's ransom and complain we have no $.

Hopefully the loss of rapinoe and holiday means inserting Press and Leroux. This is both because they will add more punch offensively, and because they are gorgeous.
Wambach has been terrible. She needs to be that 75th minute sub when you need a goal, not starting. She does nothing but cherry pick and she hasn't even been finishing her chances at a high rate.
Agreed her time is definitely up.
Not really following this, but a men's team winning 2-0 in a quarterfinal would be cause for major celebration.
IMO, few things in sports more annoying than old timers criticizing everyone who's not living up to the "Well in my day..." standard.
Lets not compare to men's game where other countries actually care and are funded.
It's not just an old timer ripping the coach.
Seems to be a consensus to everyone not named Jill Ellis:
-
Don't think Holiday matters but Rapinoe has been their best player by a mile. Probably need to to shut out China to avoid pk shootout.

Of all the possible issues with this list, I'm surprised you are going after Viniateri and Forsett. Viniateri is still one of the best kickers in the game and it's fair to include one kicker, and Forsett had quite a good season.
No kidding I thought Forsett had a bad year. The whole point of the players (so I thought) was they're supposed to be in the know. "These guys don't get caught up in highlights/stats, they know the game; casual fans always underrate the trenches". Yet there are always more RBs than OLmen on this list despite there being 500% more of the latter. Viniateri has zero replacement value on most teams. At least Andre Giroud & John Kuhn didn't make it this year - Kuhn the lead blocking specialist apparently only makes it when the Packers running game sucks but ya know, GB fans chant his name and stuff.
-
That's every player. Remember when Bron sat on the ground for a possession and a half whining for a call last round?
Yah well, even if that was the same thing as what I'm talking about, LBJ gets plenty of crap for that. GS players not so much.
-
Of course there's been missed calls both ways. I just mean if Stephon Gilmore is going to be livid over a PI call you'd want it to be a legit awful call, or else he loses credibility right? The look of disbelief on Green/Thompson for every foul --> smash cut to replay of them clutching or grabbing a dude's jersey...Jesus it's embarrassing. There ought to be more fouls - these are like '80s Big East games.
I don't really have a rooting interest. First finals in a while the thought of neither team winning makes me wanna barf. I wonder if others feeling the same is why the ratings are so good.
-
LeBron needs to stop whining about lack of calls and play both ends of the court
not to take anything from Delly, but if Cavs had Love and Kyrie, I think this series would be 3-0 cleveland and none of the games would have been close. Granted the landscape has changed so much, who knows if the intact starters for the cavs could have caused so much trouble for the Splash Brothers
GS whines about more calls than anyone this side of the Spanish national team.
I don't think they'd have lost Game 2 at home if they lost Game 1.
-
Ali Krieger is underrated too.
-
You have to take running style into affect when looking at McCoy
Very Thurman THomas like in his career.....he probably has at least 3 years of high production left in him
Look up Thurman's #s post-26. It'll surprise you.

Remember when you said Jordan had Pippen, conveniently forgetting Lebron went 2-2 in the Finals with Bosh and Wade? 6-0!
Who has Lebron competed with to get the the Finals every year? A Paul George with one good year? A Carmelo Anthony led Knicks disaster? D Rose who hadn't played a game the 3 years before this season? Compared to Jordan's competition?
I'm as nostalgic as the next guy with the NBC music and everything but the way you guys romanticize the '90s is hilarious.
Take a look at the '92 Knicks roster before going on about how incredible the competition was.
walt coleman officiating?
-
He played in one game last year.
Thanks.
-
Haven't been able to take this list seriously since Bill Barnwell exposed it for a colossal a few years ago. It's unreal how bad players are at this. Of all the things to question you pick AP? Viniateri and Forsett, bwaha gmafb.

NFL season opens in New England on a Thursday night. No way are they not going to have the golden boy on the field. Just a fine which he will recoup from ownership.
I've heard this a lot. Meh. NBC is not being low-balled by advertisers.
The subset of viewers who won't watch the first real game in 7 months who otherwise would have is way smaller than you think it is, if it even exists at all.
-
I hope he does well on the field, but this guy really is an idiot.
It's shaping up to be that sort of team. The anti-2011 easy to root for group. Hopefully the record is flipped too.
Good point by jw, I was thinking the same thing. Wonder what was left out...
John Wawrow @john_wawrow 3m3 minutes ago
It's a half-quote full of intimation from McCoy, but no actual accusation. A follow up is required as in: "What exactly do you mean?"
Is that supposed to be when he snaps and just says the three magic words which he's not at all subtly already saying anyway?
On another note it's hilarious that he mentioned Stephen A., effectively using himself as a source.
"Yo SAS - I think this guy hates brothers. Don't put my name on it, but if you want to mention in it publically just in general...."
SAS - "People are talking....I'm not saying...I'm just saying."
3 months later...
"Like SAS said...."
Lol ok Shady.

Cleveland will be fine. Bulls won't shoot that well every game and the Cavs won't shoot that poorly. LeBron and Kyrie will put the team in their back this next game and then Smith coming back will light a fire in game three. Cavs win in 6.
Maybe. Homecourt aint what it used to be 'cause teams shoot more 3s which lessens the refs' impact. So Game 1 isn't the end of the world. But Love is a killer for their title hopes. With him & the Spurs out this really seems like Golden St's to lose.
-
Neither do you.
Right. All we know is everyone under the sun but the homers here said they were a reach, and that they stunk. But I can't prove that the Packers or someone didn't secretly love them and wouldn't have jumped at the chance to take all of them in the same round. I guess. Good job on being the Facts Police and clearing that up. Please continue with the celebratory Jimmy Clausen failure parade.
-
Well, you have zero fact to prove this at all. He had Clausen as potentially the top pick in his draft class. Apparently, every team went off their draft board that year.
If your go-to example of having a guy rated differently than everyone else is someone who was picked 48th in 2010, that should tell you something.
You have zero proof that the Bills evaluations of EJ Manuel, JP Losman, John McCargo, and TJ Graham were any less of an outlier to the rest of the league than Kiper's of Clausen.
-
Not sure why so many posters get defensive about our draft grades if they are poor. A lot of our drafts have been average or worse over that last 12 plus years, and many times the draft experts have been right about their assessments of our drafts and our drafting.
The Bills seem to have good talent at a number of positions now. Is that primarily the result of good drafting or solid free agent pick-ups? It would be interesting to see statistics that show for each team the percentage of starters that are draft picks versus free agent acquisitions, and for a deeper dive, the quality of our drafted starters versus other teams.
Ripping Kiper is a favorite pastime of fans. Even though his player ratings are pretty much the same as most teams. The cherrypicking here is hilarious. Ask the best GM ever to grade every player for 30yrs and he's going to get tons of stuff wrong. Everyone says you have to wait 3yrs and then when you wait 3yrs you're crying over spilled milk for bringing anything up (often it's a different regime because the previous one couldn't find a QB), so you can't win.
-
Arrington is kind of a tool, but I think, in general, he is pretty positive about the Bills. When they got McCoy, he was pretty hyped up about the Bills, as much as he was down on Kelly (Chip) for making the trade. If there are issues between him and Kelly (Jim) they likely don't have anything to do with the Bills.
Kind of a tool? I want to meet the executive who said "lets hire this guy" after watching him never form a single complete sentence when he was on that Dream Job show. He made Emmitt Smith look smart and somehow still has a career; unreal.

It seems to me that in hockey, when somebody is like a Gretzky, Mario, Orr, Crosby - a wunderkind who people know about for years - they never seem to flop.
That is what McDavid is............And, Eichel isn't far behind.
McDavid scored 5, yes 5!, goals last night in a PLAYOFF game!
Eichel had two goals and an assist and dominated the Frozen Four on Thursday, became the first freshman to win the Hobie Baker since Paul Kariya 25 or so years ago on Friday, and will win the NCAA chamionship tonight!
They don't really flop in any sport. They maybe just don't come around as often in others - LeBron and Luck is I think about the exclusive list of the last 20yrs.
Totally on this bandwagon and I don't even feel bad about it. Sports are supposed to be fun and being a diehard Bills/Syracuse fan has been the opposite of fun for so long. Do I get a blue or white jersey?

Refs gonna ref.

Ah, it's time for my annual Sean McDonough appreciation post. Best in the biz.
McDonough is great. Underutilized too @espn. I wish he'd have stayed @CBS; maybe he'd have Nantz's job.
Monsoon and especially Bobby Heenan were greats too. Vince McMahon as a commentator is actually very underrated too. As silly as professional wrestling is, I was being dead serious when I brought up Jim Ross and you could throw in these other guys as well. Those guys were great at what they do, would love to hear them calling some football games
Heenan is the GOAT announcer regardless of industry. I can listen to him all day.
Rivers in 2016?

Was responding to someone lamenting not being able to afford Glenn and/or other key players.
"So just sit on the $"???
Oh how I missed these brilliant straw-men on tbd the last 4 months.
