I think he's worth a late round pick simply for having an awesome football name.

Even though I had to turn my head sideways, that's a great video. We all knew FredEx could throw, but it looks like his boy might have some game too! What's the 2027 draft board looking like?

If they start winning, they can wear mismatched, irregular jerseys with third sleeves from the old Champion outlet on Jefferson Road in Rochester for all I care.

Yeah, I remember his call-in show on WHAM or whatever in the early 90s. I used to listen and call in when I was just a kid, like 12-13. Much of his work as long as I can remember now has seemed pretty superficial and light.

I think you underestimate the level of Prospect and human that is Andrew Luck...
I was around for Manning/Leaf....What you are talking about is little more than rumor and innuendo...Most thought Manning was clearly the better Prospect...And certainly the more cerebral one...The truth is there may have been one or two teams, or one or two Scouts, that felt Leaf was equal to Manning...But they were in the clear minority...The Colts lost no sleep over that selection...Polian is on record about it...And the rumors were already out there about Leaf at the time...There were definite warning signs...
There is no comparison between the way Teams felt about Leaf in comparison to Luck today...It's not even close...It certainly is ridiculous...To me at least it is...Think whatever you wish for yourself...It's a free world...
Rumor and innuendo?...Really?...A quick Google news search for the first four months of 1998 reveals lots and lots of rumor and innuendo...
"Leaf and Tennessee quarterback Peyton Manning are undoubtedly the class of this year's draft."
...
Good lord, the parallels to this year's draft are stunning... San Diego traded up to #2 from #3 (yes, number THREE) to ensure they got either Manning or Leaf...
Now again, it's not that I think Luck (or RG3) will be busts, or that Fitz will lead us to the promised land...But you can't shoehorn the story of Leaf/Manning 14 years later into some revisionist argument that Luck is a surefire bet for Canton and everybody knew Leaf would be a bust and so Fitz should die homeless and penniless and 20 pounds overweight and that nobody will ever love him...But it is a free world, so I will go ahead and take you up on that offer to think whatever I wish...

After seven weeks last year I don't recall anyone calling for Fitz to sit. Then he had his ribs cracked and started throwing to guys off the practice squad.
That is simply not true.
He was also throwing to the #2 RB and #3 QB. With a #3? #4? C/#2OT snapping him the ball.

According to PFT, he is still on his way to Chicago.

Have you ever seen Luck play? He's high rated for a reason...You know that right? A completion % over 70% for 2 College Seasons Andrew Luck...A Kid with similar athletic ability to Cam Newton...that Andrew Luck...One of the most cerebral QB's to come out of College since Peyton Manning...And comparing Luck to Ryan Leaf in any way...are you kidding me?
You do understand the comparison is pre-draft Andrew Luck to pre-draft Ryan Leaf, right? Before the 1998 draft, many smart people considered it a toss-up/pick'em between Peyton Manning and Ryan Leaf, some even feeling Leaf had more potential. Well, he got to the NFL and proved (and continues) to be a complete dumpster fire.
So, it's easy to look back now and say "ridiculous!" But the comparison isn't that ridiculous. No, I'm not saying Luck wouldn't be an improvement over Fitz. I'm saying Luck hasn't played a snap yet in the NFL, and despite all the best analytics in the world, the future is not always crystal-clear.

He's garbage. Wrote happy new year on a tshirt and got penalized after not being penalized for the same thing last year. Cut him.

First thing you do is see a lawyer and put the damn thing in some sort of trust. Because I can almost guaran-damn-tee, you win half a billion dollars, and crazy people will crawl out of nowhere to claim it.
Exactly. I have a friend, a husband of a former coworker, and his family is pretty damn rich. Like, have their names on a bunch of buildings at major Universities rich. But he's super down to earth, and a great guy. My first call would probably be to him, because his family and any lawyers/accountants they would recommend would definitely be well paid enough not to be out to scam anyone.
Anyway, F it. I threw down $20. Gotta be in it to win it.

Or, it sounds better than "we lied on injury reports and interviews"
Exactly. It's all about two words: Plausible deniability.

Abilities aside, Chan and Buddy seem to put a very strong emphasis on character, team-first types of guys. You'll never see VY anywhere near Buffalo.

All of the offenses in the league will fear "Accounts Receivable" <evil cackle...>
"Corporate Accounts Payable, Mario speaking. Just a moment!
Corporate Accounts Payable, Mario speaking. Just a moment!

Anyone?

Networks probably said no because it would result in fewer commercials. Now they can just say," this replay review sponsored by....". It would take a few seconds for someone watching on a big screen to either confirm or reverse a call on the field.
So weird, especially since the NHL and MLB both send replays to be reviewed not "upstairs", but in the freaking league headquarters in Toronto and NYC. I'll admit, I don't mind so much about the delay during reviews while I'm watching at home. On some of them it's kind of fun to watch the replays too and argue with friends over what the call should be.

I watch the Texans as a casual fan only, but I can tell you that he's considered to be more of a follower than a leader. Immense physical talent, but his fire needs to be stoked by others. If he's held to a high standard by his teammates, he'll rise to that level. I think we're gonna be very pleased.
He himself even spoke about how he's not one to make a lot of speeches. I think that's OK. On the defensive side, Merriman is a leader, Barnett is a leader, KW is a leader, Dareus is emerging as a leader. They can't ALL be leaders. Maybe the more relaxed, small-town atmosphere with other guys being looked to as leaders will allow Mario to just do his thing and flourish.

I'll stick with my early 90s Starter and Zubaz gear, thankyouverymuch.
My wife actually did get me Bills Zubaz pants for Xmas this year. You better believe I'll be rocking them at the Ralph this fall.

Nice. Two of my favorite LOL moments from last season are in there: The Eagles' offsides penalty (still can't believe that worked) and Sanchito instantly curling up in the fetal position when Drayton Florence looked at him.

"The Debt Collectors" : It's time to pay The Bills
That's kind of clever, actually. I really like the play on the bills thing. Repo Men? Collections?
-
Interesting. I wonder if any case was made for why the replay proposal was rejected, or if it was just an up-or-down vote.

Since Smith has become a Bill. I don't know if he's good at anything. He showed zero last year. As a kick returner he was terrible.
One thing for sure he could not have lead a team to the playoffs and a playoff win.
Give him Denver's defense and he might could've.
Either way, it's a good thing we have Smith to get all wildcatty in practice so we can at least prepare for it. All accounts are that the Jets regretted letting Smith get away. And, with our upgraded defense, Rexy had visions of Sanchito attempting many of his throws while flat on his back or curled up in a fetal position. So, getting another mobile QB actually makes a lot of sense for them on paper. But I still think/hope it will blow up in their faces.
