K Gun Special

Right those teams have run more spread sets. They also have 3 pro bowl QBs running them. Most teams do not run offenses like those teams. Its really about the types of reads the QB has to make, whether he was under center and less about what the actual formation is.

The bills ran a handful of pistol this weekend. Their offense is not based from the pistol set. The NFL is a pass happy league but theres a reason scouts still look for pro style offenses. In college, many WRs run their routes regardless of the defense, one reason why WRs dont have huge rookie years in the NFL typically. Thats bc in the NFL WRs need to adjust their routes based on shifting coverages. Now the same goes for QBs who ahve the read the defense on the fly and know the WRs route. This is one reason why teams prefer college QBs who run these types of offenses with success. Its hard to do to begin with, let alone learn it for the first time at the pro level. Many spread sets, including the pistol are one read systems making it easy on everyone.

Age isnt the issue, its grasping NFL defenses. Its my understanding that he plays in an NFL style offense and Mallett does not. (Senator, jump in if incorrect) Scouts and GMs do consider that as a factor.

Im not so sure Luck stays. THere have been conflicting reports on this issue. I understand you are a big mallett fan, but i dont think Luck should be excluded from the conversation.

It was tongue in cheek, i dont think it makes one bit of difference where the player is from or played in college. Thats just fodder for msg board GMs

::: omg but hes from california!!!!""""" :wallbash: :wallbash:

the guy has played 18 games since 2007 and is injury prone since taking roids. Why add nearly $2million in salary for him?

As the OLB he does have contain actually BUT it doesnt mean he shouldnt be making tackles. Napolian is a personal friend of Kelsay's and thats the reason behind his blind support. Cut him a little slack.

If luck comes out he will without a doubt be taken before mallett Mallett seems to get injured a lot hes had a knee shoulder foot and concussion.

The world isnt governed by common sense, its governed by rules, just like sports. Theres no consensus for what is common sense on many issues which is why there are complex rules. The rule applicable in this instance is to take a judgment call away from the refs. ie would his foot have come down in bounds. Instead it has to come down in bounds no matter what. It might not be common sense but it sure is smarter sense.

im glad.... this debate had been raging for far too long on this board!

the guy is a waste. Anyone think there is a reason no one ponied up for him ? poor attitude, money hungry and has a back injury. Yea lets get him morons.

but didnt you see him in that one game where he destroyned a subpar college defense???

ryan leaf was also a douche. Winning is alot more than attitude.

sigh the what ifs. I thought this guy looked like a beast coming out of college. I remember when whitner was picked everyone in the room going whattttttttttttttt

perhaps that and todays news, especially in the online era, has become opinion with scattering of facts. I mean there have been studies that show viewers of certain programs understand less about current events. So either those viewers are not as bright or they are only getting their information from certain sources. The line between news and opinion has been so blurred it may never come back (news doesnt get ratings)

Normally, you don't pick a RT in the 1st round...

thats a good argument. You should email Nix for future reference at the next trade deadline. I know our 29 yr old corner is injured but cant we get a coupla picks.... he walks like a duck ....

Haha well played. Wasnt sure where you were goin gwith it. Cant base it off of 40 mins that true. But it seems the board is now divided between luck and mallett, with locker no longer really a fan consideration. Interesting. What happens to the luck fans if he stays. Do they become "Senator-ites" and jump on Mallett train?

bc nothings changed teh analysis should be garbage? so teams that have been successful for the past ten years should have garbage analysis. Its just an excuse for WGR thats all. I've actually talked to some of these guys who get their analysis from other people, bc they are clueless.

bc the Bills suck the analysis and insight should match? not buying it.

Thats a joke right?

not to mention the NFL would be hesitant to approve ownership where its money comes from gambling. like i said crack...........

I knew the Senator couldnt resist. That award is based on metrics only and has only been given once making Mallett the only recipient. Not the best argument in his support i suppose. Dont get me wrong not arguing against him, although he backup looked just as good.

Ahhh, at least someone picked up on that......
