If you're comparing him to what Peyton Manning looks like, then never. But if you're looking at him as a young QB who's never started a regular season game I'd say he looked pretty good in both the first two pre-season games. He made mistakes, but he looked pretty good for the most part. I'm thinking your expectactions of the guy are too high.

But, but, but, I read that the smart money is on the Bills to win the division... JP is going to struggle, there's no doubt about it. Even with his struggles, by the second half of this year we'll be a better team than we were last year. Though it might be too late at that point.

I hope our offensive philosophy isn't to run on the first two downs and the to throw on 3rd. That is a recipe for a losing season and a worn down RB. Hell, that's worse than Gilbride calling the plays. The offense needs ballance, without it the running game won't be effective either. I'd also like to see JP throw the ball down field a bit more. Before that last drive I think he was averaging less than 5 yards per attempt, which is just pathetic.

If you're not bright enough to figure it out I'm not going to help you.

Yep, that's right. I'd rather a green QB make these mistakes than a vet.

The guy has never started a regular season game. It's not too "late" to look bad, he'll look bad plenty in the next year, its part of the growing process. Hopefully in a few years we'll have a solid NFL caliber QB leading this team, but its not going to be an overnight process.

I keep seeing people bring up the fact that many didn't evacuate. How many of you live in large cities? I've lived in NYC for 9 years now and until just recently my wife and I never owned a car while here. I'm sure the same goes for many city dwellers in the country. If a storm like that hit NYC most of the people in the city wouldn't be able to get out because they don't own vehicles. The fact is that there just isn't a reason to own a car in a major metropolitan area. How exactly were all these people supposed to leave if they didn't have the means? I'm not talking about the people who stayed behind to "protect" their property; I'm talking about the masses of people that didn't have the ability to get out of the city. And I'm sure the busses they offered would have done the job considering they can't get the enough busses to get people out of there now, and they've had twice as long to do so.

On the contrary, he's the most football knowledgeable writer that I've seen in the national media. Not liking the way somebody predicts things will go does not equate to the guy being a "blowhard". The guy watches more tape than anybody out there who is not named Jaws or employed by a NFL team. No matter how somebody's list looks there are going to be people that think its f'in dumb. I actually like his list, at least its something different. He predicts some surprises and doesn't think the same old teams will end up in the SB. Do I agree with it all? Nope, but I can disagree with people without thinking they’re idiots.

The only one who appears to be pissed is you...

According to this article there's a 200 foot break in one of the levees http://www.cnn.com/2005/WEATHER/08/30/katr...eans/index.html

Every year the national press gives the Bills no respect and the fans on this board howl in anger, calling them "idiots" and the like. Yet, every year the Bills miss the playoffs and somebody else wins the division (usually the Pats). Eventually this will change, but until the Bills show otherwise (and the Pats show they're not the best in the NFL, much less the division) the smart move is to go with the Pats. I'm a Bills fan and I think the Pats the division this year. JP is going to get owned by that Belichick D and we're not winning the division without at least a split with the Pats.

If Price isn't good enough to crack their starting lineup why would they be worried about his impact for another team?

It never ceases to amaze me how many people !@#$ up the contraction "you're" when calling somebody an idiot.

To make more money?

Not really, in a literal since it does, but you have to really read what they're saying, "anybody but Drew" is what it comes down to. And I don't blame them, Drew was horrid.

Actually, what most have people said isn't, "JP is better than DB", what they've said is, "He can't be any worse." There's a big difference.

I actually had Moss on the list then took him off, he's close. One or two more average years for Moss and he's a lock. Same for Manning. Larry Allen is a lock, don't see how I forgot him Can also add: Tim Brown Michael Strahan Gary Anderson On second thought I'm not sure Vinitari would make it right now. He has the SB rings but I'm not sure he has the longevity, which tends to be important for kickers.

Off the top of my head: Ray Lewis Marshal Faulk Marvin Harrison Curtis Martin Tom Brady Jerome Bettis (I wouldn't vote for him, but he prob has the stats to get in) Orlando Pace Jonathan Ogden Terrell Owens Adam Vinitari Deon Sanders

Well, I like milk, but not whole milk. Just tasting the stuff my 14 month old drinks makes me cringe. It's like drinking cream when you're used to 1%.

I don't think I could drink a glass of whole milk without wanting to puke.

This is my favorite part. Is he really bitching about last year? Once the Bills hog-tied him they were able to have some success and would have made the playoffs had he and the D not folded against Pittsburgh (you can add Lindel in there too if you'd like). I guess he's more concerned about his pretty little stats than actually winning games, because after reigning him in the Bills actually won more than they lost. It also made our front office realize that any QB can be a caretaker with this D and ST, which I guess is the real problem Bledsoe had with it.

Yep, Brady would immediately make us one of the favorites in the AFC, if not the favorite.

Thank you for your incredible contribution to the board. If you're going to be a dick, at least be entertaining or witty. Thanks for the report Simon, there are plenty here that appreciate your efforts.

Not that I disagree with you, I just thought it was funny as hell that somebody has said the line "then its time for a new QB" regarding JP when the guy hasn't started a single regular season game yet.

How many QBs who haven't even started a single NFL regular season game and have 5 passes on their regular season resume have only good things? In the history of the NFL I don't think there has been one.
