Awesome, let the qb controversy of the 08-09 season begin!

I can't think of a faster way to create strife in the clubhouse. It wouldn't just anger Peters but would also upset just about everyone else who reported to camp.

I will typically use either StubHub or Ebay; both of them work pretty well.

Sorry if this is a repost, as I'm sure that this topic is discussed in one of the game day threads. However, I thought that the issue deserved it's own thread. I was just really impressed by how well our tight ends played last night. Courtney Anderson seemed to play especially well, and it looks as though he might be able to be a good, big, physical target for us over the course of the season. I thought he was an underrated pickup when we acquired him because he's had a couple of good seasons in the past. I just wanted to know what everyone else thought about how the tight ends played? P.S. I think it's mandatory for all threads to mention Favre, Peters, Losman, Edwards, and how we will suck next year, so feel free to mention these topics as well.

8-8 because of the Jets' weak schedule.

Their inexplicable decision to let Berrian walk and drop Muhammad will also drastically impact their passing game. When your main receiver is Booker, trouble is not far in the offing, no matter who is playing at quarterback. Not to hijack the thread, but does anyone know why they cut Muhammad when they had already lost Berrian?

We would never be able to fully place the load on him. With that said though, adding him to the team couldn't hurt. If we frequently cycled him in and out and kept him fresh, he might be able to produce. Given how long he's been on the market, maybe the team can get him at a discount. However, we should probably wait and see what happens with Lynch before we do anything. If someone gets Alexander during that time period, it wouldn't be a huge loss because there are a couple of other out of work RBs that we could bring in to work on a platoon.

Exactly, a common breakdown in logic. All Patriot trolls, please access the following link if you still do not understand the above point: http://www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies/t...ke-a-right.html

This approach might also help Edwards progress and become a more confident QB by taking some of the pressure off of him. This type of offense seems to suit Edwards as well and would justify the quarterback switch.* * Please note that I don't want to create another quarterback debate, as there are about 500 threads on the topic, and simply want to talk about the possible effects such an offense could have on the team.

It probably says the same thing as the Grossman experiment. Smith is a good coach, but his flaw seems to be that he develops man-crushes on certain players and refuses to give up on them. For similar situations, see Brian Billick and Kyle Boller.

Clements = overrated. He was good but will never live up to his contract. He had a very humpty-dumpty feel to him. Sometimes his plays were spectacular, other times he looked horrendous.

No reason not to offer him a one year deal. We could then gradually introduce the person we draft into the offense as the season progresses. However, the price would have to be right. I doubt Kennison would command much on the market though.

Checkmate!

I haven't kept up with what is going on in Miami, but are they really not going to draft a quarterback? It just seems kind of crazy that they wouldn't grab Ryan with their first pick.

Lynch, Greer, and Action

I think your love of late 19th and early 20th century literature is subconsciously trying to come out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Hardy

It's an important position. However, the old QB debate seems to be resurfacing. Those who believe Edwards is a solid QB are advocating for a veteran QB to help him develop, while those who are not sold on Edwards desire a younger quarterback who can come in if Edwards falters. I'm not saying that such people want Edwards to fail, but the decision seems to be based on the poster's assessment of the situation. As a result, the issue is causing a great deal of debate and the assessments are inconsistent with one another because everyone is not on the same page. In my opinion, both arguments are valid as well, which simply accentuates the level of debate. Not to worry though, as soon as we sign a backup QB, the issue will die away, not that it's currently burning up the boards or anything now. The fact that it is the off season and there isn't much to talk about has also contributed to the focus on this issue.

I think the > vs < battle is the wrong method to use when analyzing this idea. In fact, given the multitude of variables, I really don't know how you could make a valid assessment one way or the other. How long is Sage under contract? That should play a huge role in the decision. If JP does not acquire the starting job, he will be gone after this season. If we can acquire a long-term quarterback for a short term one, the deal would definitely be worth doing.

If they trade down, yes. If they don't trade down, maybe...

Seems about right. By the way, awesome name. However, I don't think Sisyphus ever took this long to reach the summit in between pushes.

The contradictory nature of your emoticons confuses, frightens, and angers me.
