  1. The thing is though in terms of looking at the football effects is that even a "clutchless a$$" is a definite step up for the Dallas kicking game.  Dallas is assembling quite an upgrade in talent and this cannot be rationally denied.

     

    It will be quite the test for Parcells.  Maybe he will force Vandy and TO to room together on the road.  If he wants to cut one of them but avoid the cap hit just give the other one a knife.

    I'm not denying his talent........not until the kick counts anyway.

  2. It cracks me up how much everyone KNOWS. That something's are impossible just because.

     

    The fact is, anything can happen. Who would have guessed when we had a Pro Bowl RB and a million needs that we would draft Willis McGahee? Who would have guessed that Aaron Rodgers who was projected to be the 1st pick overall, dropped to pick 20 last year?

     

    Anything can happen. Argue his style all you want, but the guy can flat out play and is a proven leader. If the pick is Young or Cutler vs. Huff, Justice, or Hali and Marv isn't high on J.P.; we may very well make that pick.

    I'm sorry. You're right. I don't KNOW. What I meant to say was....I am pretty freakin' sure, without a shadow of a doubt, am just about positive we will not draft Young. This way it's not so definative for you. Better?

  3. As to people being "certain" the Bills would not draft a QB if one of the big four were on the board, I am far from certain of that.

     

    Why? The NFL "mantra" has always been, "If a potential franchise QB is on the board you ALWAYS take him". I feel that is a bit too strong a statement (for example, why would New England do such a thing?).

    Well, because franchise QBs will be scooped up earlier in the round. With NEs success, they pick at the bottom. That "franchise" QB wouldn't be available there.

  4. Would you want your multi-million dolla rookie learning from Aaron Brooks?

    Good point. Plus Brooks fits the vertical game they like. Raider QBs will never be among the league leaders in QB efficiency. Brooks has a built-in excuse for just this type of system. He's talented, but mistake prone. With the receiving talent on that team and Jordan in the backfield, he'll have his moments to shine. Raider fan will shudder, however, when they NEED him to drive the field with the clock winding down. Bottom line, he'll bully his way to success and break hearts when they need it most.

  5. For the Bills to draft another QB 2 years after giving up a 1st rd pick to move up and take JP when he has only played in 8 games is stupid! If Leinart, Young, or Cutler falls in our lap they should be used as trade bait to get more picks to shore up our OL and DL or possibly draft Davis earlier in the 1st to give JP some weapons and a OL/ DL later. I mean if JP fails then yes some would look back and say I told we should have picked one of the Qbs. But what if one of those top 3 QBs struggle, as most young QBs do? This would be JP all over again with those who would start harping on rebuilding the line and adding weapons and setting us back 2-3 more years. I mean if the Ravens or Lions could stick with Harrington and Boller for as long as they have why can't some give JP more than 8 games to show more than flashes and give him a chance to be consistent? At least give him a chance for none of these other QBs are going to come in and light up the league in thir first season.

    It would be stupid if the previous regime were still place. They are not. With the regime change comes philosophical and evaluation change. The fact that JP was acquired in the 1st round shouldn't have any bearing whatsoever.

  6. Based on what?  Didn't I just state what I based it on.  If he's that good, why did Green Bay draft someone else?  Sherman didn't want him in Green Bay.  And now, with a supposed QB guru as head coach, the new regime is willing to let him walk also.  I would say those are clues.

    You've already established this. Now, do you care to counter my rebuttal?

  7. Because he pretty much sucks?  He wasn't even thought of as good enough to groom for Favre's replacement by Sherman in GB.  Now, I guess the new regime, with their supposed QB guru head coach is willing to let him leave too.

     

    Yeah, he sounds like a real winner.

    You are basing him sucking on what exactly? How much action has he seen? How much has JP seen? Sherman and McCarthy are the authority? I'm not saying Nall is the answer, but to assume he's being brought in to be a #3 is presumptuous.

    If you think the competition that Levy has spoken is just between who is on the roster, you might be mistaken. Just because he's a #3 on someone elses roster doesn't mean our brass sees him as such. They may think there is good talent and value in this kid. Is that so farfetched?

  8. It's my observation that if we draft another QB, we are going to have the Flutie/Johnson situation all over again.  Two highly paid QB's and a split locker room on who should start.  I would be surprised if the Bills drafted a QB, but then again I was surprised when they drafted McGahee.

    Conversely, it is my observation that if we draft a QB with our 1st selection, JP is out of a job.

  9. Marv and Dick have both said they are planning on having Moulds on the team next year and have never said they were going to cut him if they couldn't get his contract cost down.

    Why would they make it public that they would cut him?
