Spiderweb

This draft, with so many possibilities, has been totally wasted by a former HC who should have stayed retired...... Why do I keep hearing Jets fans laughing....... Marv - Go back to Chicago, sit by the lake, and learn to feed the birds. At all, that's who your first day picks were for anyway....

I agree, and I will add that no matter how many years someone gives Young, he won't make it as a starting QB in the NFL.

200-300 Mil? Capital gains is now taxed at 15%, is it not. If I'm wrong, someone provide correct figures. And who's to say what the final gain would be ruled to be. Thats would make the taxes pretty small by many a standard. Inheritence taxes are the ones that still haven't been adjusted downward in a signficant way for estates over 1 mil, IIRC.

I liked the fact that Everett was up to about 260. Then he was hit with a groin injury. Hope this guy can contribute.

OUCH!!! Darn it, there should be a warning label attached to your avatar. Darned near poked my eyes out.....nice.....

No, I'd find a quality player not named LenDale White (in agreement there), but do not trade down. Our Number 2 should garner a quality player and therefore KEEP it....

Jeezie Pete....now that was one mean bag of wind.......What the heck was your point, I kept falling asleep trying to read your version of "War and Peace"... (trim it down....trim it down....) Now back to sleep.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

My sentiments exactly. It would also save me the cost of the NFL Season ticket, DTV, annual trips to Buffalo to watch a game in person, and cost of Bills memorabilia, etc. The only thing football offers me these days is the Buffalo Bills. The money, the greed, both owner and player alike, has left me cold. And Ralph was initially called a doddering old fool for his reaction to the final vote on the new CBA..... Tagliabue doesn't deserve the privilege to be allowed to wash Rozelle's withering nuts.

You seriously undervalued the play of Phat Pat, so much so that it brings to question anything else you had to say in your post. Vikings are sure glad to have him.

I'm sorry, but a 5th, or even a 4th dopesn't compute. Didn't the McCardell deal grab a 3rd last year? A a 2nd or a 3rd (since Houston's 3rd is like a late 2nd - maybe). 4th or 5th? Let Moulds sit. The percentage of 3rd & 4ths ever amounting to anything is fairly small, with only a few exceptions. (McGee). Tell Houston to go away unless they pony up....

Vince may make it, but it won't be because he's a prototypical QB. If he's not successful with his legs in the NFL, he be a wash out. His throwing mechanics are just plain piss poor. Vince Young will not ever be a top NFL QB.

??????????? Surely you jest......(sarcasm....?)

I'll second that!

My understanding was that a team can still enforce disciplinary action, with a limited suspension, and up to 4 games IIRC, but what was eliminated was the trick of then de-activating the player to continue to not pay him. Yeah, it was modified due to the TO deal last year, but not completely eliminated. Someone else around here surely must have the actual details, but I vaguely recall hearing something about the changes on ESPN when the CBA was agreed to. What will happen will be more "behavioral" clauses built into contracts, especially the big money ones. It's reported that the deal TO signed with Dallas has a behavioral clauses in it.

In short, just say "no" to Vince Young. Leinart will be a better NFL QB, quicker and long term, IMHO. Cutler? Gamble? Maybe, but IMHO he too has a better shot at being an NFL QB than Young as well.

exactly........... In fact, he was against going for Bennett too.

Crowell made a few plays in pass defense, but I wasn't impressed with his run stopping ability. Seemed to be out of position a fair amount and frankly, making tackles on runs 6-7 yards downfield isn't what one wants. Under 3 yards, now that's when pluging the run is done well. Crowell isn't there yet, and it's a coin toss as to if he ever will be. With a year under his belt (starting), he steps up or he's fodder.

Depends on his contract. Being a former 1st rounder, he may be entering expensive parts of his contract. Trade would have to be contingent on a fair contract extension/restructuring.

This guy could actually be better than "noodle arm" Holcomb. Ever see holcomb throw a 15-20 yard out pattern? Me neither. He can't. McCown is young, plays with enthusiasm, decent arm, decent size size, and has had a few very nice games (some experience). He could work out well (all boils down to $$$).

Ah, good old Metz..... I actually saw him score a long TD once, can't remember the game, but all I kept thinking was "run you turtle, run!"......Loved old Metz, but his strengths were blocking and owning a very good pair of hands. After watching him try to run a few times and then fumbling the ball, I actually prefered for him to catch it and fall down... Still he's was a far better TE than anything we've had since....

Nope, untrue and factually incorrect. Bruce played some of his best football 1995 thru 1998. When Paup came here he benefitted very heavily to the attention Bruce was drawing from the opposition. Where I noticed the slippage in Bruce was actually in 1999 when his pressures dropped and began to look only excellent instead of almost super-human. When he was let go in 2000, it was time. On another note, I believe the signing of Ted Washington was far bigger to the Bills than was the one year wonder Paup. But hey, thats just my opinion. The Speilman signing could have been had Speilman's neck not given out. I loved watching that insane genius play.

And that is where the real money is for the owners.....

HEY!!! Oh, did I just label myself?.....ooops...

Currently, I'm recovering and rehabing after rotator cuff surgery done on 1/4/2006. It sucks, as it was the second time I tore it although I didn't have surgery the first time (minor partial tear). Also had some degeneration and detachment going on in there so a screw was used to help re-attach the detachment and the bone shaved to lessen the irritation on the joint. Sleeping at night has been a real pain.... I'll never have that 92 mile an hour fastball again, oh wait, I never had it before either....
