Green Lightning

It would be fun to hear your take on "Bills sign Tom Brady" I imagine that would really show how low and stupid the FA is.....Christ, get a grip!

I'm sure this will start with the apologists for his Trent-like performance versus the Jets. http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=ap-patriots-bradysurgery

Are safeties worth a top 5 pick? NO

I thought exactly the same thing. Let's hope he goes hard to the D this draft and get some playmakers in here. We can't keep puking up 200 yards a game on the ground!

He was joking. Besides it doesn't take a brain surgeon to see who's left standing now...four cold weather teams. How many warm weather teams have won the SB in the last ten years? Depending on what you think cold is, six or seven of the ten were cold weather places. (Tampa, New Orleans and Baltimore count as warm...up to you to rate Indy. It gets plenty cold there as well) So if he he likes playoffs and championships.....start stocking up on under armor.

Try checking rosters before making such an analogy. The Bears had far more talent thant the Bills but majorly underachieved. The Bills had a bad team and bad coaching and a gimme game when the starters didn't play. You can't compare those two teams.

Or rather they were exposed as the second rate defense they are. Brady was again exposed as the closet Dan Marino he is. Both guys react like pussies when they get hit or the D shuts down their little pass route favorites. They they both scream at their line and receivers...anybody but themselves is the problem. I loved little tommy getting roughed up and looking like Trent in the pocket. Just like Marino used to do when he got pummeled. They are great during the season and exposed by physical teams and they haven't been in the big dance in six years. And before you say it....yes they are many times better then the Bills and have been. Still they are not the annointed team they make out to be. You can push them around and I can't wait until the Bills beat them.

We need some bodies in camp and Brohm's outta here. Why not get a later rounder...could be a Brady. You never know.

I'd take either draft but prefer the Barbarian's

Did love the thread, but the more I think about drafting a FQ, the more I remember our D on the field puking up 200 plus yards on the ground and opposing QB's having the time to tweet while looking for open receivers. We just have to get some playmakers on D. It looks like there's a few more of them to be had then a FQ this draft. Let's just get some front 7 help.

Please TSW, for once and for all get off the "move Bell to RT" crap. Hemet is dead nuts on this. Bell is not a RT and won't be. Bell made gains this year, without any time for conditioning and strength training due to rehabbing his knee. He should be better and stronger next year...but he's not a RT. Let's go get one in FA or the draft and stop thinking tackles can be flip flopped and be effective.

Yes

Good thread and the OP makes valid points. Sometimes you have to challenge your assumptions. Finding a FQ is more an art than a science. TSW would be well served to read this thread before blithely popping off about grabbing FQ when none seems at the ready.

This.

Thanks for beaing the Pats. Go Steelers!

Get real. Leonard is a ST-situational player and a back up. It's not Whitner's fault he got picked at #11. He's not a top 5 safety but don't get ignorant and tell us Leonard is better.

For God's sake NO! Unless Green can also play D and stop the 200 plus yards a game we puke up.

The only way I'd take Peterson at 3 is that Fairley is gone. He'd then be the BPA.

Brady is just like Marino was - all world until you knock him on his a** and rough him up. Then he's a puss. The fans are pathetic.

Sanchez is not close to an elite QB and a great D and awesome running game was all that was needed. The OP's point was draft D and I agree.

But "The Hoodie" is a genius! How could this have happened?

No more experrments at RT! Pick up a solid run blocker & pass defender in FA. Nobody on our roster is good enough.

I hate the Lakers. And you, why are you wasting your time and ours by posting here if you don't care and have given up on the team? Move on and play kiss-kiss on a Laker fan site. (you're right about Kolb though)

I'm with you on this Old Timer. Both points are well made. I wish TSW can make a point about a player's abilities and fit on a team without the hate and vitriol. Be passionate about our team without demonizing a player's personhood. I get mad every now and again and write something over the top (read Kelsay) but I regret it soon after. If a player needs to move on - fine, make your point but do it without the hate.

Hate the Jets. Just hate them. But there is nothing more odious on earth than the Pats. Go Jets!
