#34fan Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ha! Wow SJ! You were the LAST person I expected that from. -Prejudice much? Btw, I could care less what he's paid, or what he's listed as. I only care about progress and WINS. I see a star in Brad Smith. -A real playmaker. Exactly what I DIDN'T see in Trent, and NEVER saw in Fitz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 All I wanted was for people to re-examine the way they view a guy like Brad Smith. He may pick up a DUI tonight and prove me wrong, or get a domestic violence charge, or knock-up a stripper. Nobody's perfect. Still his body of work indicates that he's capable of much more than Chan and his staff may be grooming him for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

#34fan Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 C'mon 34… you don't REALLY think… -That Fitz is overrated? I most certainly do. I, for one, am ready for a little departure. There's no reason why our offense has to be patterned after every team in this division. -We're not the Pats. We're not the Jets. Does the Eagles offense look like the Giants offense? Nope. Unlike us, Philly plays to their strengths instead of trying to look like everyone else. The sad truth is that despite a decade of sucking, we haven't amassed the talent. Still, with a QB like Smith under center, we can do things that others can't. Wanna blitz? -You sure? By the time you get into the backfield Brad Smith could be long gone. -Or he could have flicked a quick slant to Namaan. First down! That's what this game is about. -Moving the frickin' chains.

thewildrabbit Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Some offensive line shuffling after 2 preseason losses and the posts just keep getting wackier. I think I'm going to have to sign off of TBD for a few days because it's nearly impossible to find anything worth discussing. Don't forget the other half of the posters who want Tyler Thigpin as the starter... because he was decent against Denver's 3rd stringers. That team had the very worst defense in the NFL last year, I gotta think that 3rd string bunch has gotta be pretty bad. Honestly, I'm all for Brad Smith as QB, it will save Fitz from a horrific pounding this season. I would root for that if I didn't know that Fitz really wants to be a starter going into the season, poor guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#34fan Posted August 24, 2011 Author Share Posted August 24, 2011 LOL… let's try this again. You don't really think… What, that Chan wears a white hood with a charging buffalo on it? SJ, I honestly could care less. Perhaps I'm taking my mistrust of Gailey and his ilk, a bit too far. Anyway, everyone is pretty well behaved on this board. I think it's in everyone's best interest to keep it that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarolinaBill Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 That damn chan gailey, if only he had a history of starting black qbs, then id be able to disprove this idiotic premise...oh wait....reggie ball, and kordell stewart say hi.

I am going to be that guy, mostly because there is no reason to really respond to the intended discussion, but what in the world are the hyphens for in front of some of these sentences? I've seen all sorts of crazy grammar on here, but I just couldn't leave this one alone. Edited August 24, 2011 by Marcellosaurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STFU, southern does not equal racist, douchebag. I'm kidding with SJ. I lived in the deep south for many years. Coming from upstate N.Y. It was a culture shock, but I wouldn't accuse every southerner of being like that. I was specifically targeting the southern gentry. (upper class) -C'mon, their accents don't help. All I accused Chan of was being backwards in terms of his expectations from Smith. I think that his background, as well as his football experience might have something to do with that.

STFU, southern does not equal racist, douchebag. Here's what's interesting about your post... In his first season as a true Starter, Kordell led the Steelers to an 11-5 record and an AFC Championship game. Thats AFTER Chan stopped wasting his talent as some kind of gimmick QB. Kordell was pretty good QB. I think that with time, Brad Smith can be even BETTER. Edited August 24, 2011 by #34fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I accused Chan of was being backwards in terms of his expectations from Smith. I think that his background, as well as his football experience might have something to do with that. Accents don't help? There are a lot of NFL coaches and GMs that don't have accents and still don't want Brad Smith as their starting QB. Let's remember that Smith chose to come to Buffalo because, everything considered, he liked what we offered. As far as we know, no one offered him a chance to compete for a starting QB position. Apparently, none of the NFL's experienced/professional talent evaluators see his QB skills at that level. That said, he is a tremendous athlete, a class act, and apparently quite bright. Amazing that a post that begins with a false premise (People act like Br. Smith is some kind of dummy) would generate 3 pages (and going) of responses. It's good though someone is championing Smith because he seems like a guy who deserves fans. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 This guy's value with the Jets was as one of best KO returners and also as wild cat guy, nothing else. Now that KO's are useless basically, he will be as our wild cat guy and WR i believe. He never really threw much out of wildcat for Jets as I saw most of their games, but was athreat because he was a college QB. Did anyone see his mechanics throwing the ball?? Not great from what I have seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
