  1. You are a man of few words. That make any sense.
  2. What he said.
  3. If I win I will graciously hand the trophy over to John. If anyone believes that they are effing losers!
  4. I DIDN'T DARE YOU! I TOLD YOU!! YOU BASTARD!!!

  6. I appreciate these posts. Just stay the hell away from the last post thread!!
  7. Not in my opinion! Don't forget they also got a draft pick from Philly that they used to select Shawn Nelson.
  8. Just checking in, to see what condition my condition is in.
  9. I didn't know that, it's a cool fact to know.
  10. They didn't know that Butler would be gone for the season, but I agree they should have had better depth. JMO
  11. Former Steelers coach Bill Cowher also is high on the Bills’ list of candidates, but at the moment, they are focused on Shanahan, who guided the Broncos to back-to-back Super Bowl championships in the late 1990s but was fired after last season.
  12. If the trade deadline hadn't passed yet and Philly called Russ and offered Peters for Eric Wood and Shawn Nelson would you want Russ to Get'r done? Even though the Bills desperately need a tackle I'd still say no. The two players the Bills got are worth more than Peters to me. Wood is a stud and Nelson shows a lot of promise. JMO
  13. I think Brandon's answer was coy. He probably was giving a literal answer to the question, because he doesn't have a firm appointment date yet. JMO

  15. The difference this time is that Russ got 'er done!!!
  16. I wonder if this has any connection to Shanahan coming in next week?
  17. Brohm was a second round pick by GB in 2008. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/football/...yers/13232.html Big East Ht., Wt.: 6-3, 230 40 Time: 4.98 BIOGRAPHY: Three-year starter awarded varying degrees of All-Conference honors since his sophomore campaign. Named Big East Offensive Player of the Year in 2005. Senior-year passing numbers included 65.1%/4024/30/12. Numbers as a junior included 63.6%/3049/16/5. Selected by the Colorado Rockies in the MLB draft. POSITIVES: Poised pocket-passer with good intangibles. Displays terrific field sense, goes through progressions, and scans the field looking for the open wideout. Buys time for receivers, makes good choices, and possesses a quick release. Will stand in the pocket to get the ball off and throws with good fundamentals. Sells ball fakes and knows where receivers are on the field. Constantly looks downfield and can roll outside the pocket to make the pass on the move. Displays zip on his shorter throws and puts touch on passes when necessary. NEGATIVES: Cannot escape the rush. Does not have the arm strength necessary to drive deep throws. Gets rattled under the blitz and loses confidence in the face of pressure. Must improve the placement of his passes, as he is usually high or late on timing throws. ANALYSIS: Brohm has been an ultra-productive college quarterback and has benefited from a passer-friendly offense. He possesses the tools to lead a team at the next level, yet he is by no means a franchise quarterback or a sure thing.

He's tall and stands with poise. He moves well around the pocket and his patience allows plays to fully develop. He has speed and can be a threat on the ground if necessary, but also like Quinn, prefers to work with his arm rather than his feet. His arm is as good as they come (just ask the MLB team that drafted him). He throws a great deep ball but more importantly, the majority of his passes have touch, making it easy for his receivers to pick up yardage after the catch. Often forgotten is that Brohm has been under the microscope since high school. In 2002 he was featured on the cover of Sports Illustrated as one the nations top young quarterbacks. Thus far he is unphased by the spotlight. He doesn't make the mind-bending mistakes that most young QBs tend to when under pressure. His calm and confident nature is the keystone to success as a QB in the NFL. Negatives: There are only two major problems on Brohm’s resume; injuries and touchdowns. Durability is a major question. Anyone looking at Brohm has to be concerned. In 2005 he tore his ACL. Despite the tear, he went through a Carson Palmer-like rehabilitation and was able to start the season opener for his Louisville Cardinals. Just a few games into the 2006 season, Brohm broke his hand. The hand required surgery and he was forced to sit for a month. Overview: When healthy Brohm is one of the best play callers in the nation. He has a Tom Brady swagger with a Carson Palmer-like arm. He's big and strong and makes sound decisions for his team. However, he has a downside that the other top quarterback's don't and that's durability. He appears to be relatively fragile and that could scare teams away from taking him high in the first round of the draft. Projection: Early First Round ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| http://cdsdraft.com/profile.php?id=85 Overview Brian has great football bloodlines, and were he able to stay healthy for the entire 2006 season would probably have been a surefire top 15 pick. As it is, he returned to school for his senior year in order to enhance his draft status and get his degree. Unfortunately, the wheels came off for the entire team in 2007, and, as always, Brian took an inordinate amount of blame for his team's difficulties. At Trinity High School in Louisville, KY, Brian was named the USA Today Offensive Player of the Year for producing 10,579 yards and 119 touchdowns during his prep career. Brian was the recipient of the National Quarterback Club's award for the National High School Quarterback of the Year and was voted one of the 2003 National Top 150 Adidas Playmakers while also being named the Gatorade Player of the Year. Brian was named to the Parade Magazine High School All-American teams and ranked as the No. 1 quarterback and No. 2 prospect by ESPN's Tom Lemming. Led the Shamrocks to three state titles and was awarded the Roy Kidd Award. He was a three-time state finals Most Valuable Player. Brian also started for the East squad in the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and finished second in state history in career passing yards and career touchdowns. He also set a state record for career completion percentage and threw for 3,720 yards and 33 touchdowns during senior season, completing 298-of-463 passes. Brian passed for 3,777 yards and 47 touchdowns as a junior. 2003 Kentucky Mr. Football. Brian was also MVP of his high school baseball team that advanced to the semi-finals of the state tournament and has been drafted by the Colorado Rockies in the baseball draft. Brian performed well at the Combine, throwing the ball with authority and accuracy and, as a result, he re-enhanced his status as one of the top 3 QBs available for the 2008 NFL draft. Strengths Brian is a veteran QB who shared time his freshman year with Stefan LeFors. Is like a coach on the field. Knows what to do, when to do it, and displays a classic delivery, touch, and good arm strength. Ideal measurables. A leader who is a student of the game. Inspires people around him. Makes all the throws. Comes from football bloodlines and has seen it all. One of the most NFL-ready QBs to come along in years. Was more productive every year, and did a fine job even when UL suffered mightily on the field in 2007 versus the preseason bowl predictions. Smart, and makes good decisions most of the time. Very acceptable ball speed and accuracy. Weaknesses Footwork and toughness are the only questionable items. He sometimes puts himself in unfavorable positions that expose him to injury. Foot speed is not great, so he will not escape when the pressure gets to him like others might. Pocket presence is shaky at times. Gets rattled and loses focus at times and struggles to make his reads as quickly as he will need to at the next level. A bit streaky and moody. Concentration and level of play suffer when things start to go wrong. Must be protected well in the pocket. Will not create on the wings. Projection Should be a Top 15 choice in the 2008 NFL draft.
  18. ST coach is a coordinator position.
  19. I thought you were talking about their final record.
  20. Hopefully this just means it hasn't been solidified yet and they are still working on it.
  21. Personally I think the talent level is playoff talent. Shanahan could probably get 10 wins from these guys. JMO That would be a great trick!!!
