I don't understand. Why would we want to trade a Pro Bowl QB for one at risk of even getting cut?

Depth? Who needs depth? We barely had an injuries last season...

Which doesn't mean Brock can't evolve himself and lift his game. Still, he's a huge ? and doesn't deserve that much money.

Why would we want to trade Tyrod for, in all likelihood, 2 virtual 2nd rounders? Fitz to Denver makes as much sense as buying a T shirt in July.

No FA signings to report? Doomed.

Ha. Who in the NFL (or on Earth for that matter) doesn't "feel underpaid"? Osweiler finds himself in a position of power. The reigning SB champs are now without a QB. He basically has a monopoly of the QB position in Denver. The Bills otoh have options, because their one year wonder is under contract for another year.

I still can't believe this hasn't been discussed in the Bills "frustrated" thread.

Definitely was sweet and all, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say he didn't write a word of it. Who goes on to twitter and praises the organization they were just fired from this morning? This is just his agent making sure no bridges are burnt and he's still employable elsewhere.

I've heard of him. Let's kick the tires and see if he has anything left in the tank, despite being on the wrong side of 30, obviously.

Maybe they should continue working on the definition of a catch first.

I can only see it for particularly violent penalties: roughing the passer, unnecessary roughness or personal fouls. Can be for holding or interference because whole lines would be sitting in the box. But I love the idea.

This is all correct. Schefter is only guilty of being a dick and ESPN acted with poor judgement letting him report this information. Nothing criminal was done here though. Well said.

I think when he says "we're fully pregnant now", I think he's referring to the hiring of his brother Rob.

So the DA is basically reviewing the case to see if it would lead to a conviction. They have to know that this is never going to happen. At most, he'll plead guilty to disorderly conduct or public intoxication or some other slap on the wrist.

Best commercial of the Super Bowl.

True. I can't imagine the mentality of drunk cops, but I doubt they are the totally innocent party here. Far from it. That, plus with the cameras "broken" cameras, nobody saw anything that night. Perhaps the cops lost their footing and tripped on their way out the door?

Short of the patient dying on the table, I've never heard any surgeon stating their surgery was not a success. And even if that were to be the case, patients and families always focus on the positives. That's not to say the surgery wasn't a "success", we should just curb our enthusiasm when the media reports it as a "success".

If this is the truth, then this is very scary. Whaley specializes in evaluating pro personnel. If he needs an agent to sell him on a signing, the player's not worth signing.

That's what I was going to say! Here's his quote: Is this guy for real? He must have complete amnesia of one of the only times he's had success in the NFL.

I think Greg Rosenthal placed this sentence in the wrong part of the paragraph.

I think overall this is a positive move. He may be "unpredictable", but he's just an assistant to help players learn the system. As there should be. Differing views breeds improvement. Are you proposing shutting the board down until next August?

I'm not sure if these comparisons are valid. We've never really had a true read option QB and the trajectory of a read option QB is usually to have a great first season, better than a tradition pocket passer. Difference is, pocket passers usually have better subsequent years (except for ours, of course). The read option QB usually struggles in subsequent years, when opposing teams learn how to neutralize their running, exploit their passing weaknesses, and injuries (obviously). The great ones, Newton and Wilson, learn to overcome this.

Yes, having a very good young QB get the recognition he deserves is a nightmare for a GM. Especially when some media outlet gives it. What's even more of a nightmare for a GM is having to give a no name QB a rich contract after 1 year of decent play.

Got it. No worries.
