QCity

I think a few people around here invested too much in EJ's stock. Would it be considered insider trading if I shorted him right now?

It certainly doesn't make financial sense, but if the coaching staff feels that there is little chance of EJ winning the starting job in camp, then there is little reason to keep him (and based on last year's camp, EJ doesn't have a chance in hell). We aren't auditioning for the backup position. The ironic thing is that if EJ was picked in the 3rd round, this wouldn't even be an issue. But because he was overdrafted, fans have deluded themselves into thinking there's a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow -- we just have to be patient. "It's Marrone's fault," "It's Hackett's fault," "You can't judge a QB after 14 games," are all prime examples of the wishful thinking that's spouted ad nauseam. I would be surprised if he is cut, but I would understand.

Miller's out 4-6. Neuvirth didn't really play that well and we were without Ennis and Girgs. I'll say it again, if you've been watching these games (and I'll completely forgive you if you haven't) there has been a noticeable jump in determination since the trade. It's almost as if the players are in F.U. mode and are finally sick of the tank talk -- determined not to finish last. Blocked shots: Vancouver 3, Buffalo 17. Nolan has this team fired up.

Waiting patiently to get my Bills text.

Maybe you should take your own advice? IN

10 points in our last 10 games. Arizona just lost it's 8th straight. Anyone still think we got this wrapped up? /crickets

I agree that Palmer was brought in to be a backup. The point I'm trying to illustrate is that EJ was a disaster at camp last year and he didn't "win" the job as much as it was defaulted to him -- after all the riff-raff was cut he was the only guy left.

Anyone that went to SJF could tell you that. They were so desperate they brought in Jordan Freaking Palmer. I'm led to believe the friction between the two was due to the lack of a starting QB plan.

Leroi just blindsided the EJ Dreamers. We're going to need a cart on the field.

A roster spot that can be used on finding a starting QB?

I'm not saying he's Aaron Rodgers, but he can scamper and throw on the run.

McCown at age 35 is more mobile than EJ at age 24. He can extend plays out of the pocket at least.

Girgensons out at least 2 weeks. Ennis day-to-day. Shut 'em both down for the next 2 months!

Oh come on now. You've just described 95% of college kids every weekend. And it's nothing like the Manziel situation. Manziel is about self promotion, about celebrity, about putting yourself before the team. It's about flashing money signs and flying on private jets to Vegas. This is a 6 second Vine of a college kid drinking beer.

There's a large contingent of morality police on TSW. Oh my God, he's underage and drinking beer!!

It would hardly take a miracle at this point. Based on the last 10 games, ARI is on a pace to win 2 more games all season (6 more points) -- and Regier isn't done unloading before the deadline. No, but a stretch of 10 games could. After Vancouver we have a 4 game road trip. If we come out of the next 5 games with >5 points, we are in big $%^&ing trouble.

Or better yet, completion percentage when the ball was thrown > 15 yds in the air.

If you watch the games it's pretty clear there has been a noticeable jump in energy since the trade. They are playing well on the road, that's not a good sign at all.

He took a shot in the ankle it looked like. He had to be helped off the ice.

That EDM win lessens the sting. But ARI is going to be a problem.

That goaltender Forsberg was brutal. These 4-goal games can bolster confidence. Not good, not good. Arizona just lost their 7th straight.

Agreed. I think the Rams would be lucky to get a 3rd for him. He's got a knee held together with duct tape.

It really isn't. And I'm specifically talking about football stadiums, not baseball, hockey or basketball.

Football stadiums do not spur growth, they can actually hinder it.

This is going to end badly. His knee is shot and the Rams know it.
