AdamSchefter Adam Schefter Filed to ESPN: Buffalo has traded WR Lee Evans traded to Baltimore. Dunno specifics yet

How funny would it be if they run the Wildcat and Smith throws the long ball to Fitz for a TD... I might die laughing. Pure BS as it won't happen but still.

Gas - onto - Flames. AdamSchefter Adam Schefter Filed to ESPN: Vikings cut OT Bryant McKinnie.

So he can whale flop backwards? Pass

It's incredibly hard not to root for this guy. Unlike years past this guy has drive, has a decent head on his shoulders, and is trying not to squander an oppurtunity. Man-crush indeed.

Adam shefter ends it.... falcons agree to terms with clabo Per twitter

Never heard a more counterproductive interview... When asked about Poz: It wasn't the money. When asked about perception about Buffalo: Ignored the question about others, laughed, said he wouldn't consider that personally. When asked about adding through FA: He feels people internally can step up to replace Poz. I actually stopped listening cause the guy just sounded like he didn't care, and while I wouldn't expect him to go into his "plans" going forward...The interview itself was kind of infuriating. It's on Wgr550.com if you wanna listen.

My link Gotta love the guys honesty....even if it's gonna get him in trouble. That’s blown way out of proportion,” Johnson said of the controversy surrounding Bush, per NFL.com. “There is not one NFL player who hasn’t enjoyed [time off during] the lockout. I’m just being straight up honest.”

Stupidly excited, Stupid Excited, Excited and stupid...I really don't care. This team has given me a reason to look forward to Sundays again. It's like watching an "underdog" football movie every sunday...cept...Shane "footsteps" Fitzfalco didn't throw a game winning touchdown.

+1 to Mr. Kurt Warner

I'm fairly certain that this entire thread is about more self-gratification then anything else. Look, receivers have bad days. QBs have bad days. Defenses have bad days. Things happen, the guy was unfocussed for one reason or another and it cost the game, ok I understand the gripe on that. What I can't condone is to crucify a guy who after his FIRST year really starting, is dominating the rest of the team on numbers. The guy has played 10 damn near drop-less games. He has 9 TDs. He had 3 TDs last week alone. He dropped a number today...It never ever surprises me how quickly people will turn on someone. Last week, the guy did his "Why so serious" stunt, caught 3 TD passes and people are singing his praises. The week before he had another 100+ yard game with at least a TD. These numbers are pretty consistant for the last 5 games. Today he drops a few passes, yes yes game-losing blah blah, and the guy is the anti-christ. I can understand peoples feelings on losing a game. I can understand their feelings towards a person for costing them one. But the level of condemnation these boards has shown towards this kid, ESPECIALLY with the level of remorse he obviously has, just goes to show how judgementally brutal people are. Stevie - shake it off, catch a TD or two next week, and the masses will be singing your praises once more.

I have major respect for a guy who can come out, take the blame for a loss, and actually *show* that it's not just another drop for him. Watching his conference I actually felt for the guy. As for his twitter, every religious person knows that there are times when you just lose it and ask "Why?" It is unfortunate that he felt he had to tweet these feelings rather then keep them private however.

This entire post is vaguely reminiscent of a kid trying to convince his parents that he's mature enough to drive. It has some valid points but lacks the maturity most would look for. I don't think you realize that most people here do not have a "man crush" on fitz. People recognize what he represents to his team. Ie: Heart, drive, emotion and will. Is he of the caliber of some of the quarterbacks you've mentioned? (Argueably every other QB currently active) I'd say yes, to most. Mcnabb especially pales in comparison, currently. Fitz may not be up to the standards of some peoples "Picture perfect franchise Qb," but 90% of the time, I'm thoroughly enjoying having him as our QB. Will we draft a QB if possible? Probably. Do I believe Fitz is good enough to make drafting a QB a lesser priority then other positions? Absolutely.

I like it. I'll take it.

Know what the biggest problem is with hindsight? You can't do anything about it. I agree with you that Fitz is doing great, but I wouldn't be opposed to grabbing a QB like Luck for the future. The guy would most likely be sidelined watching/learning next season anyways. The problem is, as you said, some rookie qbs draft high and bust early. But you have absolutely no way of knowing whether that would be the case. In the case of Russell, I doubt anyone seen the bust that would be. Look at the Mannings and the things they have done? Do you have any idea whether Luck will be a Russell or a Manning? I sure don't but the gamble would be worth the effort considering what an elite QB will do for a team. That having been said, I love Fitz. I love the way he plays, the way he talks and the guts he shows every week. Though during the draft, come our turn, he'll be at home saying to his family...."Should we stand up for this one?"

Based on what happened next concerning the players mentioned: Edwards on waivers Lynch traded to Seattle I could almost say they were being showcased. Only problem was Edwards did so bad no one would have traded for him.

Agreed. On a side note, Big Ben did get knocked around by seymour today. I got a bit of a laugh out of it. Vid on youtube if you didn't see it:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYVtma_Lvnw

^ Agreed.
