I strongly disagree. Why sign a good player to decent money when you can overpay and lose a pick with a guy like McKelvin over a guy who would be a stronger contribution to the team on a position of more serious importance. I mean with decisions like yours we would consistently get better. What's your problem?

T.O really is a competitor for just about every season of his career. I think he just gave up here. If you've never watched him play you don't realize that USED TO play like an animal. I'm more upset I can't watch Johnson develop over T.O. I mean the season is over I want to see what we have. Johnson may suck but he has shown more than Hardy and the other scrubs.

I 100% agree. I cannot tell you how many times Jordan went up for a jumper and missed the shot and a foul was called after he missed. Replays would show over and over how the foul was non-existent and the announcers would try to make something up. It was so bad I ended up hating the NBA over it and stopped watching for a time. Jordan ruined the NBA for me. I'm positive that he would not have a fraction of the titles he has, nor finished with 30 points a game if a game was called accurately one game in his life as a Bull. The true nail in the coffin of the NBA was Shaq. Sorry but Ewing couldn't flop (his knees were shot), neither did Robinson, Olajawon (spelling), or the other good centers of the time. They needed another superstar and Shaq destroyed the league every bit or more than Jordan did for me. I've never seen a guy lay so many elbows and throw his body into people, spin, then dunk his way to stardom. No other center before him got away with a fraction of what he did. I do admit that Jordan with the Wizards didn't get as many calls, but the NBA became unwatchable.

Turnovers change games more than anything else. Roscoe has proven he isn't worth having in. His downside outweighs his downside.

Factoids: -Cushing was available when we picked... so what, we needed Oher who has more worth to a team and his upside so far has been huge -Maybin is not NFL ready and may never be. Just not strong enough. He should try to be a LB if he has no real chance to do anything as a DE -Rookie DE need time to excel... rarely is that true. A bad rookie with upside gets 4-8 sacks for the season. Mabin will get 2-3 sacks at most, and is mathematically projected to a whopping ZERO sacks. -His strength is no where near DE level. His size increase from the 230's to 250 for the combine is not real strength increase, but roid muscle. It helps for leverage, but not for strength. He's not showing leverage or strength. Getting "big" is not the same thing as getting strong. Strength training is at the 4-6 rep range, muscle growth is best at the 8-12 rep range. Honestly though, he who cares as we have no identity on offense and our defense plays well without Maybin. I just more upset we aren't playing Ellis over Maybin and see what he has.

Sure it was a desperation move, but it was a desperation move to win. That was the guy's point but you can't understand basic logic or reasoning. If you were playing not to lose you would never do that.

Change the QB all you want, our O-line is not an NFL line. They would hardly be a top 5 college team's line and I say that honestly. Most teams in the top 5 have 3 or 4 guys that will go in the draft. We have 2 guys playing tackle who weren't even good enough to get drafted. Only our guards are any good, but we have too much pressure on every play from every direction.

Some of your bust comparisons are also guys with 3 seasons on the team picked in the 3rd round. If you don't consider Everett a bust than you cannot say Youbouty or Edwards are busts. In fact, they all are!!! Just sayin'

Actually it's funny that it wasn't openly tolerated in the society of Greeks until it's final 50 years (not a coincidence) of greatness, it's even funnier that you associate a time of civilation with the person writing it as if they can be equated. Maybe I should associate you with socialism, attacking other nations sovereignty while lying, homosexuality, NAMBLA and other things because you "lived in a society that thought" (to use your words) that are accepted. I mean didn't you know that the American Psychiatric Association has members which see nothing wrong with pedophilia if the youngster is ok with it and I should associate you with such thought too right? The movie L.I.E was given indy rave reviews, should I associate you with that powerful movie too? Remember that non sequiturs are not only bad logic, but just lazy thinking. You cannot associate a person with a culture, any more than I can do that to you or you to me.

Have you seen him play this year or last? He plays smoother with the game. He played for the Giants and has looked decent. I would read what I just posted, right above what you said and you will understand I wanted him for depth, not as a starter.

I never said I wanted Carr to start for us. I just don't see the great rookie or FA that starts. I think having him for a back-up wouldn't be a bad idea and would be better competition for a starter between Fitz and TE. It would be TE, Fitz, Carr. Yes, I know Carr has sucked, but he looks far more mature in his 2 years with the Giants. Whoever thinks I said I want Carr as the undisputed starter is a retard. I never realized Smith was a FA this year as well... knowing that I would take Smith over Carr, although he might play well enough to make it a tagging thing with the 49ers if he continues to play at this level.

Well I saw Carr play last year and this year and he looked ok. He wasn't a world-beater, but he looked better than most on this roster. I like the idea of Volek, but not Simms. To this day Volek upsets me... he could've been our starter. I was on the other message board on the buffalobills.com site and asked for Warner when the Rams cut him and when the Giants cut him. People were dogging me for his thumb, but I knew he had game in him left. I just want 4 guys in camp who are better than FA rookie status fighting it out with a developmental rookie who has upside. I don't see anyone in this draft I really want to call my franchise. As far as staying with Trent... ok fine... but show me where he has been a NFL QB this whole year. Even in the NE game it was all checkdowns.

He's matured quite a bit, and he's older. He's always had great potential and has looked good as a QB now that he's older and more mature. Now we should get a rookie with a high upside but needs development. That's why I like Pike from Cinci. We keep TE and see if his brain and unfreeze from down-field-initis and keep Fitz. Hamdan can go at this point. I could be happy with that for next year... And oh yeah, get rid of the head coach unless he is willing to be demoted to DC with a paycut. The guy cannot lead an offense.

Genius, take billions of dollars, give it to people to spend the economy will rise on the surface level and people will oh and ahh without thinking. The real question is, and the reason why democracy will never be a good form of gov't because people will never learn about their country, was it the right thing to do while simultaneously destroying the dollar through inflation? In other words if inflation in real terms, not gov't terms, goes up 8% according to the dollar index dropping but the economy going "up" 3% we had a 5% drop in real terms of what our dollar buys. You can't compare with the Great Depression because we had asset based currency. The Fed is screwed with anything they do, if they raise interest rates it hurts "recovery" and housing and if they keep it low they are continuing to devalue the dollar. This problem never existed.

Black on white crime is 50 times higher than vice versa. Maybe now when blacks commit such crime than can call it hate crime against them as victims! Sound crazy? Sure it is, but as Frit0 said, this is only against white heterosexuals of conservative persuasions.

Or people acting as if they are above it all pretending they aren't. An act, such as homosexuality, cannot define a person. A person is above an act. Making fun of homosexual acts and the people who do them used to be something which was revered in society as they knew moral norms and displayed disgust either through disdain or through sarcasm. The biggest problem in all of this is how so many people think homosexuality is fine or normal and believe the greater consequence is the statement and not the depravity in the act. As Aristotle, the greatest of philosphers, said, "Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying civilization."

Well I don't know, those 2 INTs those last 2 weeks would not happen with Whitner. Whitner has 3 INTs his entire career. Wilson has started a fraction of the games of Whitner with more turn-overs. Wilson probably has 10% of the snaps of Whitner and has more INTs. What does that tell you? Did you see the INT last week when he jumped up and snatched the ball? Whitner would never do that... EVER...

Well that's kind of the problem... if you average a sack per game with 2 false starts as a staring tackle you shouldn't play in the NFL.

Garcia born in 1970 and Ramsey 1979. I like the idea of Ramsey actually and Garcia over anything we have. Oh, and the idea of Losman slinging a huge game for like 160 yards and 6 sacks is not my idea of fun.

Go watch Fitzgerald of the Cards. He would kick his mother to after the ball. In the case of T.O's play he was stopped, watched and didn't even try to react. In Lee's case he is not known for fighting for balls up high. I have yet to see him EVER fight for a high ball.

To his credit he should have had more receptions.

I'm sorry, but about half the league has good to great QBs. The league is QB rich from WR friendly rules, to QB rules which protect them from injury, not to mention the game prep these guys do. The fact we aren't in the good half of QBs only proves we either can't coach them well enough, or we haven't got the right scouts to get there.

Whitner did improve this year, but not enough to start at SS or FS. He is a solid tackler, but not a ball-hawk. I'll take a ball-hawk to a solid tackler. Ball-hawks change games, solid tacklers stop big gains. I'll take a QB throwing over 300 yards if it means 3 INTs and changing the game. 3 INTs change games period, although, don't expect this every game. I would be happy with 1-2 INTs per game from the secondary and any more is gravy.

You didn't see how awesome our line did? Are you crazy? I think our line is probably top 3 in pass protection. Our guys looks so good!!!! [/sarcasm off]

Well think about this... if DJ was that BBBAAAAAAAAAADDDDDDDDDD how did we win 2 games we shouldn't with a lot of starters missing? If anything he is showing he is pretty good with no talent. Where he sucks is on offense and for that reason he should be fired. He would make a decent D-coordinator.
