Bu bu bu but he split snaps with Kolb

Just got a text from ESPN. He will participate in mini camp Tuesday. I think this might be an ego move by Belicheck

I've long thought that when Chan used to claim that CJ was either winded or that it was just Fred's turn to run the ball, it was just him trying not throw CJ under the bus. CJ is a HUGE LIABILITY on passing plays where he is asked to pick up a rusher. It explains 3rd downs and red zone defenses that have their ears pinned back and CJ is on the bench. Fitz also had the freedom to call plays at the line, CJ on the field would be a liability. I could be wrong but we will find out this year. My thought is, couldn't you combine the two? I understand the concept, but say the goal of the play is to complete a pass for a first down, and that happens, and this system is binary, good and bad. The oline did a good job? What I the QB hangs in a collapsing pocket and takes a shot to the chin, still a plus? This way of measurement seems to account for other positions moreso then it does the OLine

I have heard FWIW that in NYS one or more of the recorded parties involved need to be made aware, making prank calls nothing more than harassment and this illegal recording. Again that is hearsay

The Bills are playing the QB battle closer and closer to the vest as OTA's go on

He may not even e our starting QB let alone the top 100 players in the league...babysteps I like his upside and potential, but realistically he could still be on the bench in year 3 of his contract.

About to post something similar. If the ravens lost the Super Bowl or don't make it, he does not get anywhere near that contract...ie the Ray Lewis effect. You could make the same arguement about AFC championship game last year with Lee Evans. Good players win the games that matter. This past Super Bowl was a battle of the best defense and the best defensive players emotion, and Ray Lewis won. In a different game against a different balanced team things may be different. All in all Ozzie made the right decision and so did Flacco. Good for the Ravens in if ding their guy, and good for Flacco for really grabbing ahold of his team. I will say if he doesn't meet the standard expect a restructure soon

It was a commentary on order not play

I think the rotation went Jackson, Manuel, Kolb today, or maybe they rotate regularly. They had Tavaris with the first team, Manuel through a pick 6, then Kolb through another afterwards. Maybe over reading?

Just brin back the skills competition for positions and skill. Those where always more entertaining than the game themselves.

lived at an olympic training center for a coupe years....not true at all

did i miss it or no talk of the number of snaps per qb or rotation...

Isn't the reward drafting well? Say you draft somebody who turns out to be be a Pro-Bowler or Hall of Famer...the reward is having a Pro-Bowler or Hall of Famer on the roster, not a back up corner in the 5th. Not to mention the draft is a reflection on the season, and the season the draft.

Marrone doesn't seem like a Polian hire at all. His track record doesn't really include hard nosed outspoken characters. Polian likes guys he can control not guys that have their own sense system and plans.

I also never really understood the "failure" of Saban in the NFL. He took a 4-12 team and made them a 9-7 team. Then had a decision to make, take Culpepper a QB off a knee injury, or Brees a QB off of a shoulder injury. At the time Culpepper seemed like the logical choice. For God's sake, the guy started Joey Harrington and Cleo Lemon and still won 6 games. Had they pulled the trigger on Brees instead, I am sure his story would be much different. If I where an NFL GM I would roll the dice with Saban again, assuming he doesn't bail on you again.

Wade Phillips was a reasonable head coach. Had work before Buffalo, had work after. If I had to bet money on it, he will get another HC gig before he retires. The guy is a tremendous NFL Coordinator, with lots of experience. I'm also a large proponent of the idea that Marv was a great(est) leader of men, who was a mediocre coach, with a HoF roster

Good idea just for the intel alone

that has got to be super frustrating for garrard. he played really very well at points. too bad his body just won't hold up. you got to feel bad for the guy

i think it's worth noting that kolb and manuel where the only two qb's noted as making plays, espicially since the tavaris was said to have gotten the most work. while the qb battle wont really get going until pads are involved, it is seems to be a 2 qb contest

I ward the whispers and consul piracy on the board that Whaley was now in charge. Then he did the draft recap meeting with box ticket holders and he said that basically his job was dependent on these draft picks. No longer conspiracy I guess. I am a Buddy defender. Gailey got more out of these bums on offense then I think anybody else really could. Gailey's failure to take responsibility for the defense, and ego when it came to rehabbing any QB cost this team big time, and cost him his job

not just that. sj13 seems to be a great deal slower than most on the field, atleast DB's. he is regualrly caught from behind. i looked it up, he ran 4.5 and change at the combine, and 4.46 at his pro day. both are respectable. maybe i am wrong, but when watching games stevie seems to be a great route runner, smart, and a great route runner, but plays a good deal slower than everybody else. he is much faster than fitzgerald, and i rarely seem him caught from behind...relative anomaly, or misperception of sj?

Or did we et burned by the Clemson game

Nope they only get cut Sincerely, Drew Brees

He definitely looks "excited"

I bet Sanchise beats him out of the starting job
