Favre was a pretty mobile QB coming out of college and for the first half of his career.

Fascinating list. Amazing how almost every player on this list became a good pro. Maybe Al Davis is on to something...

Molson is brewed right here in Golden, CO since they merged w/ Coors. That's why I switched to Labatt's and Kokanee for my mass consumption beer. Still stick to microbrews for my two-at-a-time beer

Then again, the fact that you like PBR goes hand in hand with the fact that you still think Chuck Norris jokes are funny. I got a John Deere mesh hat if you want to buy it.

Let me guess, you wear a mesh hat with shaggy hair coming out the sides and wear tight pants. Dude it's been done. As hip as you may think PBR is, it is absolutely disgusting and causes serious problems in the AM. Believe me, when I first moved to Denver, I thought it was cool too. For one weekend and then I learned my lesson. Top 5 mass produced beers: 1. Moose Drool (Big Sky Brewing Co., Montana) 2. Hazed and Infused (Colorado) 3. Anchor Steam (San Fran, obviously) 4. Long Trail Ale (VT) 5. Saranac Black Forest (I know there's better, but I have a soft spot in my heart for it)

Well good morning sunshine... Pass defense top 15 at best? When Drayton Florence is your nickel corner and Donte Whitner is your third safety, I'd say you're in pretty good shape. I think it's a little short-sighted to say that their #2 ranking last year was simply due to the fact that their run defense sucked. Wasn't the opposing QB rating one of the lowest in the league as well? Not to mention, you should have been able to notice that McGee and Florence are terrific in pass coverage and that Byrd, Wilson and McKelvin (see second half '08) are playmakers. As far as the running game, why don't you look up what Fred Jackson's YPC were the last three seasons behind this pathetic line. Either a) the run blocking has not been as bad as you think or b) Fred Jackson is the second coming of Eric Dickerson (the early years). Again, with respect to depth, when Marshawn is your THIRD running back, that has to put you up there in the league. And I'm not so certain that Spiller was drafted with the intent of putting him in a lot of situations where he's going to be forced to pick up blocks. Either a) he's gonna be in a ton of two back sets, b) he's gonna be darting out of the backfield to catch passes or c) he's gonna run the friggin football. I have never once heard an NFL analyst break down Chris Johnson's blocking skills when analyzing his game. Tight Ends- dude we just don't know yet. Robert Royal proved to us that yes, he sucks. Have you ever watched Derek Schouman play and be like, man that guy sucks? No, because the past regime DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO USE THE TIGHT END! Every time I've seen a ball thrown Schouman's way, he's caught it. Nelson could be a big time pass catching tight end, but only time will tell. I'm not saying they're awesome, I said and I quote, "this could be a sleeper position," in other words, it's possible that they could be OK there. D-Line- first off, Kelsay is playing OLB, they already said that. Yes, Kyle Williams is an ideal 4-3 DT, but Dwan Edwards and Eric Carrington are CLASSIC 3-4 DE's. As far as the NT position, I am confident that a fresh rotation of Troup, Williams and maybe even Stroud occasionally, I think they might be OK. Yes, it would be nice to have Casey Hampton, but they don't, so deal with it. I think again, the name of the game on the D-Line is depth and we have a ton of it. Again, when Spencer Johnson is basically your sixth defensive lineman, I think you're in great shape. And McCargo isn't making the team- obviously.

I think your assessment of our RB's is insane.

Hey dick, I said I'm excited about one position that puts three people on the field at once.

Am I the only one who's REALLY excited about the D-Line? I love the Dwan Edwards signing and am optimistic about Troup and Carrington.

I would go: 1. DB's- Top 5 in the league 2. RB's- If Spiller is half what he could be and Lynch sucks it up and accepts his role, we should be right there with the Cowboys 3. DL- Really excited about our D-Line 4. LB's- Shakey, but could be solid if Schobel returns. Maybin huge x-factor, obviously. 5. TE's- Could be a sleeper position- more a question of learning how to use them than talent 6. OL- Wood and Levitre should come into their own this year. Wood being 100% may be biggest x-factor on team. Calloway will make the team and provide excellent depth. 7. WR's- Not confident, but extremely intrigued in seeing Hardy and Johnson play all the time. Good thing they didn't dress the second half of last year. 8. QB- Not worth getting into.

Awesome. The NFL went from being represented by the worst beer in the United States of America to the second worst beer in the United States of America.

I interpreted the guy's post to be more of a commentary on the state of sports reporting using this twitter thing as an actual news source and not as much a personal attack. I think the whole twitter phenomenon is childish and I can't believe that grown men reference it in their reporting.

Besides, we still have Nevergiveup anyway.

Agreed! I just went on that thread and I thought his post was hysterical and dead on.

Just to play devil's advocate for a second- did a professional sportswriter really expect to come on a fan website and not have ONE person act the fool? Sounds to me like he's a little bit of a "delicate genius." God forbid we disturb the "delicate genius!" Like Lori said, it was bound to happen at some point. P.S. Didn't he say that he was making his last post like three months ago?

What's your problem with Elvis? That guy's been a staple at Bills games for me since I went when I was a little kid in the late 80's.

Come on, you're smarter than that, right? Are you?

Look at his numbers last year as a starter for half the season on the Cowboys. Now tell me what his numbers would have looked like on the Bills last year. He would easily be our 6th receiver behind Evans, Johnson, Hardy, Roscoe (yes Roscoe) and Easley.

Would have to battle if out w/ Felton Huggins and C.J. Hawthorne to make our practice squad. Seriously.

Agreed. I also think that Kawika Mitchell starts over Davis whether he plays in or outside. I'm inclined to think he has a better chance of starting inside if Schobel comes back or outside if he doesn't. I think Davis was signed for depth but will see plenty of snaps as well. Then again, I'm sure one of them will tear their achilles in week 3 of the preseason and be out for the year and Ellison will end up starting...

Not sure where you're getting that from. Why would our starting RB be on the field for 30% of our plays? You don't think we drafted someone ninth overall to not be our starting RB, do you? I would guess 70% of plays.

I gotta roll into Lambeau with something better than my Lee Evans jersey...

I will pay anything for a 90's Metzelaars jersey. Anyone know if it's possible to get a 90's jersey customized? I looked into it a few years ago and kept running into dead ends.

Troup was a consensus 2nd or more likely, 3rd round pick. It was not that shocking. I realize that if we would've taken Cam Thomas, because he was in more mock drafts on here, that it would have been an awesome pick, right? What round did he end up going in?

Who's Bill?
