Obviously

I live in Florida and have for a long time college football is bigger than the NFL. The big three, Miami, Florida and FSU are judged by their record against each other and National Championships. Florida obviously dominated the 2000. Both Miami and FSU had huge problems. FSU had both the 2006 and 2007 seasons vacated because of playing in eligable players. Bowden's program was a mess when he retired. They were absolutly in a rebuilding mode. When the Bills drafted Manuel, I began asking FSU fans that I knew what they thought. The casual fans generally said he was ok. I don't recall anyone saying they were glad he was gone. The most astute fan that I know was the first to point out Manuel's supporting cast vs Winston's. His opinion was that Winston had better protection, better receivers and better running backs. Go back and look at those rosters. I watched more than a few of Manuel's games. My suggestion to you is go to YouTube and watch the best and worst of his final season. The Clemson win, the NC State loss and the Florida loss. In the Clemson game Manuel is great, they had the NC State game won went into a shell, that loss is on Fisher. In the Florida loss Manuel was getting killed, he had five turn overs, but only two of them are really on him. One fumble was a helmet to helmet hit that in the NFL would have been a penalty, also after that hit I don't think Manuel knew where he was.

What exactly about his FSU days did you find objectionable? Was it his starting at QB for a program that was rebuilding, or his 25-6 record as a starter, maybe the three bowl wins?

How does Henderson have travel issues?

I could have written that.

Florida State

So based on your track record there is a 43% chance you are wrong about Manuel. Now that I think about I believe Bledsoe should be thrown out. He did take the Patriots to a Super Bowl, I don't think he can be labeled a failure. Not that Bledsoe is either of these guys but Unitas was not successful with the Chargers nor was Namath with the Rams. Therefore your track record is 50%.

You forgot Mike Williams. I believe you have it out of position, Maximus was a malt liqueur.

Better traction in the quarter mile.

July 20th can't get here fast enough.

Prolly write.

How did this thread get to this point?

Two of those fumbles cost us a win twice in the same game.

You forgot the fifth preseason game this year.

The world as we know it will end. There will be plagues and pestilence. There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.

From the top 10 of the 2006 draft, 4 have worn Bills uniforms, 2 are now out of the league.

I've got shoes older than that.

I watched Flowers play in High School. He was a man playing boys. Some team is going to get a very good player.

I'm going to do what I do every year. I'll read what you guys do and think I should do that. Then I'll never bother calling them and end up paying full price. It's been working.

You are right. I knew the guy who was the Comissioner of the long defunct North American Soccer League. He once told me that it takes three generations of people playing the sport to popularize it as a spectator sport. We are just now reaching that point.

What if a crazy coyote drops an anvil on EJ?

I'm assuming that this acreage was not in Western NY.

It is pronounced D-Tah, emphasis is on the D.

I think that all of the Bills decisions should be based on polls on this site. No scouting dept. No analytics, think of the savings. That being said, to paraphrase, I don't care what you post just post something. I get bored at this time of year.

So I guess since there is no news, Goodwin os ok.
