  1. Actually, pretty dumb for a player who has only finished a full season 1-2 times in his whole career. He's a career-threatening injury waiting to happen. And for those asking why this injury hasn't happened, it may have been the reason for him being such an up-and-down QB in the past. Even if a career-ending injury doesn't occur, he's one hit away from having his career/production take a downturn.
  2. Great, the Bills can draft him with our 5th round pic and then be blasted by the media for this being a reach. That said, our last few "reaches" really have been busts, so may the media is onto something.
  3. Geez, he made that Dolphins team he was involved witg sound like a dynasty.
  4. No, you forgot "someone wake up Buddy!" and "we're doomed!".
  5. You need to calm down, dude. I agree with you, but this is not real life, it's the NFL. And the NFL like parity. You shouldn't have taken 10 minutes of your life to argument against someones fantasy for an already fantasy world, the NFL.
  6. Thanks for pointing out the obvious, Bruce, now go back to sleep. If a work stoppage does occur, it could never be to the players striking. It would be a "lock-out". That is, the owners would be barring the current players from playing.
  7. Actually a very telling story. He admits to making mistakes over the last 10 years. Could he be talking about having too much say in the War Room? Also, he flat-out says we need a QB. No was around it, he's still not sold on Fitz.
  8. That seems like a really cool idea. I would add that teams who grab a QB must offer that player a 5+ year contract after their first full season or let them walk. I believe there are many good QBs (and maybe even great QBs) out there that just never get the chance to show their stuff and they end up out of football. This is another argument for some sort of "minor league". Most QBs need more than 1-2 years to develop. Usually, being buried on a roster with a franchise QB, this never happens. It's actually quite a waste if talent.
  9. We're Doomed!!!
  10. I just check this guy out and wonder why we don't hear his name more often.
  11. If anything, this game argues for the need of a franchise QB. No way GB wins it with a Dilfer-type QB.
  12. Eminem Chrysler commercial was excellent. Best so far. Commercials otherwise a let down.
  13. Yes, it is a very slippery slope. The DOHS was originally intended to protect us from terrorism on our home soil. Somehow, someway they became involved in cracking down on the distribution of copyrighted material. I echo another poster, what this has to do with terrorism is beyond me. Perhaps they should stick to their original aim - fighting terrorism. Here is an article about how they seized and shutdown particular websites that distributed music: http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/27/technology/27torrent.html
  14. The wave is coming? I thought the wave was already at its peak in the mid-2000's with the drafting of Young and Russell. Where has Chan been? Oh yeah, playing around in college football.
  15. I think they're going to dangle the carrot to see if any dumb team will bite and give them a #1 pick. Otherwise, logic says they will keep him. He's good insurance for the dog killer who has only started a full season once in his career.
  16. In addition to the funding of a dogfighting operation, there were many other charges on the table. That is, many other charges were dropped as part of his plea deal (drugs found in home, taxes). Of course these other charges were not slam dunks like the dog fighting charge (where everywhere you looked there was damning evidence). Although Vick was never found guilty in the court of law for these charges, Vick has not "repaid society" for them. Anyone who believes Vick doing jail time makes him now an innocent person should read "The Lost Dogs" by Jim Gorant. It has all the details, everything from the incident where Vick and his buddy held a dog like a jump rope and proceeded to slam it against the ground repeatedly to that abortion of a state prosecutor, Gerald Pointdexter. It's a great read.
  17. I guess this quote says it all. Michael is indeed "good people". And thrown in the Obama name drop too for good measure. As for this endorsement, I guess it was a smart move by the no-name company. This publicity is the best advertising they have ever paid for likely. Basically, they sign the felon and they get their company name plastered on all sports-related sites (and others). Can't really beat that advertising. And exactly where would we be if we did have him? Still sitting at home. I'll stick with Fitz. So, a convicted felon goes to jail, does his time, and then we are all suppose to like him and give him a pat on the back? Is that how it really works? No. Doing jail time just means that you legal debt for your offense against society has been repaid. It certainly does not mean people have to like you, give you second chances, or whatnot. And besides, our current legal system does not even treat convicted felons, who have "repaid their debt to society", full right as a US citizen. In many states, convicted felons lose the right to vote and federally, they lose their 2nd Amendment right.
  18. I highly doubt he'll function as an "assistant HC". Why would we need one, especially from a guy who has failed twice as a HC in the past. In addition, being an AHC, theoretically he should have some input on the offensive side of the ball. Why in the world would Wannstedt be giving advice on the offense when he is a defensive mastermind? No, he was brough in, not to "focus" on the defensive side, but to help run the defense and only the defense. Besides, what other title would you have given him? Assitent LB coach? We already have a LB coach, so he couldn't get that title. HE would have to an assitant LB coach. No, that would be quite a demotion with a lot less salary attached to it. And besides, with this title he is not likely to leave the Bills in the future. HE will only be able to make a lateral move. Thus, if a team wants to poach him, they'll either have to make him assistant HC or HC outright. That's not likely to happen. Absolutely right. Or, he is the DC when we are running the 4-3 or a variant of it.
  19. I'll take him for an incentive-laden the vet minimum contract for 1-2 years. The dude has too many question marks to be taken seriously. Where theres's smoke, there's fire. In fact, its highly possible he'll be entirely out of football soon. Remember when he was supposed to be entirely healthy, then a couple days later he's placed on season-ending IR? Too many strange occurences and excuses with him.
  20. One who has "comeback" from the place Vick came from really has nothing to be proud of.
  21. I don't know why you even did all that work. Comparing the Bills 2009 & 2010 defenses is like comparing apples to oranges. So much changed; a whole new defense philosophy and over 1/2 the players. Based on that, one could never be able to compare them and say the differences are just due to Mr skooby.
  22. If Harbaugh leaves Stanford, this could turn out to be a very foolish move. A coach could come in there and install a totally different system - one that he doesn't adapt to well enough. It's actually a good thing he'll be getting his degree.
  23. I don't know much about him and haven't seen him play, but he's a junior from Mizzou that is going to declare for the draft and the media has been really talking him up lately.
