Saint Doug

This team should always be looking to get better. A QB in the 2nd or 3rd round will aid in that progress. Not a knock on EJ, who's already had 2 significant injuries in his short NFL career, but more of an insurance policy.

Plug in and warm up the fax machine!

I guess either would be fine with me, assuming the NFL gave us a 4th (or better). The Texans won a 3rd rounder for losing Williams. However, supposedly comp picks are based on salary, playing time, and post-season accolades (and other players signed/lost). If it's based on the previous season only, it looks like we won't get much for Byrd. I'm assuming it would be cost prohibitive to franchise him again (120% this years salary = $9.5 million). And based on his production this year, this assumption may be correct.

I think he'd be able to can the ST coach because Marrone isn't a ST coach himself. Crossman isn't his protege per se and firing his underperforming friend would earn a lot of respect from the fan base. You also said we need a MLB? We have a budding star at MLB.

As long as Marrone is HC, they'll never hire another OC. First, it will signal that Marrone, being a former OC himself, was a poor judge in identifying the qualities it takes to be a good OC. Second, it will show that Marrone has the inability to teach an offensive-minded coach on how to be a good OC. Lastly, Marrone will likely take over play calling before he fires Hackett. And if this fails, then I doubt Marrone will be around to hire another OC. I completely agree on the firing of the ST coach though. In fact, that would be the admirable thing to do.

I would be happy for a 5th, ecstatic for a 4th. Seriously, is there really any doubt about trading him for whatever we can get vs keeping him for 9 more games and having him leave for nothing?

That's all we get? Moar please.

His attitude plus his play, even if it's above average at best, doesn't warrant top-5 safety money. I hope the Bills don't bite on this one. Let some other team make the mistake. At this point, we'd be lucky to get a 4th for him. Really, one of our safeties made a TD-saving pass block? Wouldn't you expect this of any DB playing for us? That play doesn't warrant top-5 safety money.

That does it!

Good stop.

What a surprise.

Might as well challenge.

Sweet int by ne.

Flag. Of course. Good call. Let's play the game.

Plenty of football left.

That's more convincing.

bull ****

That's a TD!

Apparently you're not allowed to hit the QB anymore. Good for us though.

Awesome!

Finally. They took his head off

They've been holding us all game and they call that back?

Too !@#$ing much.

The top paid safety would've had that.

Never heard of him. Might play for NO.
