Are you guys kidding? Not to slurp on the guys jockstrap or anything, but if you recall about 6 games into the season, Trent Edwards was not only good, he was getting SERIOUS consideration (by the likes of ESPN) for MVP of the LEAGUE. Now, obviously there was a concussion and some cold weather and things fell apart, but I would take my chances with Trent over Leinert (who has proved about nothing IMO). Add in the fact that he was a first round QB (who you cant afford to miss on) and its game set match on this argument. If you are even going to have this discussion, have it with Cutler not Leinert. The Whittner thing is a completly different story...and while I was not happy with the Whitner pick at the time..I honestly dont see a player drafted before we picked McCargo that I would have wanted us to take instead. Maybe Ngata (or Cutler), but it wasnt a deep draft. The bigger mistake, McCargo. How much would things be different if we traded up for Mangold instead?

Me either. At this point, Philip Rivers wasnt even a first DAY selection But wouldnt crabtree be an interesting selection???

Yeah, The Correct (but probably not legal) thing to do here is a re-vote. With the independent candidate drawing 15% of the vote, it is impossible to determine which candidate is favored by the most voters. There should be a way to determine a clear winner. This is why I like Louisiana's (and Georgias) 50% rule. If no candidate gets 50%, there is a runoff between the top 2 candidates. Should be the same in presidential elections as well.

Agreed. By the same logic...Pete Rose should be in the HOF as well

Im actually the opposite. I like Jauron quite a bit...but I think he is the main problem A team takes on the personality of the head coach. Dick Jauron is nice. He is Passive. He is conservative. We need someone who isnt everyones friend, but is a respected leader. While Cowher will not be coming here, we need someone similar.

Well...looks like you win

Yes. Molson Golden once again taking the high road.

Is Losman available?

Easily team 2. Agreed

I am about as conservative as they come, but thus far, I have found little to criticize Obama about. This plan is a good one. The ONLY way to stop the crisis in this country is to stop foreclosures and the drastic fall of home prices. There are many ways to do this. Bailing out banks, Giving money to homeowners, etc... But this plan of infrastructure development is a good one. 1) It puts people to work (thus helping them keep their homes) 2) It builds infrastructure which is badly needed in parts of this country 3) It promotes energy independence I know it is going to cost ALOT of money...but any plan we have right now will as well. This seems like a SMART way to do it. (note: this plan alone is not sufficient, but its a good start). While we are at it...lets give a $4,000 tax CREDIT to anyone who buys an American-made automobile.

Maybe its just me...but I actually think we have TWO quarterbacks who are top-10 caliber QBs on this team. The biggest problem we have had is that we cannot get behind one of these guys and say "You are our guy. The Fans love you. We know you will struggle at times, but the ownership and fans will support you at ALL times". Do you think that the attitude of the "JP HATERS" and "TRENT HATERS" has not been felt by JP and Trent themselves? Do you think the musical QBs played by Jauron (and even before him with Flutie, Johnson and Bledsoe) have not had some impact on these guys confidence and play on the field? People throwing things at the players...come on... Think about your own job. If everyone you met on the street, at the grocery store, or in the mall thought you were doing a horrible job at your job...even maybe told you so. Some even threw stuff at you. Would this effect your job performance? We the FANS have to take some responsibility here. For some of you, the true problem is no further away than staring into your own mirror. Same goes for the head coach....and our Owner... This team will not be successful until WE as FANS start to support our team. And some of you "Fans" need to look in the mirror

Because he has shown glimpses of greatness. He has had drives and games where he has completed virtually every pass with precision and accuracy. He has not made a bunch of dumb mental errors. I have not yet seen him just chuck a ball up and hope (though I have missed 2 of his worst games). He is a smart and likeable guy. And great QBs have a track record of starting off this way. Is he going to be great? Well who knows...but he is our best chance right now and I see potential. We gotta rude the kid and let him work through this. After next season, if he is not at least an average QB, we need to start looking again...but right now, let the kid play...

Sand in Va-Jay-Jay

No more so than John Edwards was in 2004...

I thought it was to wipe your mouth after eating a meal

Ha-Ha...What DO you do for a living?

I hope you are right... ....But I suspect otherwise... Dunn Suprises me as well. Makes me think these guys got caught up in something akin to eating a poppy seed bagel before a drug test. But regardless...we will see shortly.

I preface this with saying I DO NOT KNOW if this is true, but a respected and well known poster on another board I frequent says that FOX Radio in Denver reported a list of players to be suspended, and that that list includes Donte Whitner.... Deuce McAllister (NO) Will Smith (NO) Donte Whitner (BUF) Leon Washington (NYJ) Warrick Dunn (TB) Jason Ferguson (MIA) Eddie Royal (DEN) Ben Utecht (CIN) Malcolm Floyd (SD) Dawan Landry (BAL) Cornelius Griffen (WAS) Dont shoot the messanger if this is wrong...just putting it out there. BIG loss if true...

I dont know how long the dollar will remain strong, but I do know one thing. The dollar's strength is relative to the strength of other countries currencies. We (America) created this problem, but we are not the only ones suffering. Our currency is becoming stronger vs. other currencies (brittish pound, euro, canadian $, etc.). So, while the European countries are doing everything in their power to decrease the value of their currency, so are we. it becomes a race to see how can devalue their currency most effectively and fastest. Bailouts, lower federal funds rates, rescue packages, stimulus packages...all these things devalue our currency.

While clearly lower gas prices are good for our economy (on the surface), but the reason they are low is cause for great concern. Demand is weakening, not because of some great permanent shift towards an alternative fuel source, but because the world economy is in great stress right now and people fear that will in turn hurt demand. People will curb travel plans, people will stop "luxury" driving. Demand for goods and services will decrease thus reducing the demand transporting those goods. The fact that countries like Iran and Venezuela have economies directly tied to the United States should be a concern in itself. If it takes a crisis in America to hurt their economy, that is a problem, because at the same time, a booming US economy would be a booming economy in their parts of the world...and few would agree they would use this new found wealth to foster peace and prosperity for their people. So...bottom line...yes oil prices are low, and that is a good thing...that is the one part of the "perfect storm" which has not yet happened. Although, with the Fed lowering interest rates, and other factors, I suspect the dollar will begin to fall at some point...and we will be back to $4/gallon gasoline. I dont think there is much benefit about rejoicing that Iran and Venezuela are hurting as well right now....

Do you really ant a 6'7 guard? The QB needs to be able to see over these guys..

Agreed. Do folks ever stop and think that the highest paid guys at their positions ALMOST ALWAYS are the ones most recently signed? Salaries are escalating. Sure its alot for him this year...but wait 3 years and he wont be in the top 20 (money wise)

If you do not know who Don Cherry is....you are NOT a hockey fan. The guy is an ICON. He is the Howard Cosell of the NHL. But, Crayons, who would be the top 10 in the US? 1. Paris Hilton 2. Jessica Simpson 3. Fred savage 4. (Your name here)

What...you dont like the bee-ieews?
