  1. Place the stadium yourself with this nifty website. For example, the "Perry Projects Get Demolished" site. The "Let's Destroy The Nature Preserve" site. and my personal favorite, the "Let's See How Many Drunks Go Over The Falls" site. Who needs a consulting agency?
  2. No, no, no, you've been misinterpreting my rants in other threads. I'm negative on the Watkins trade, but not the player himself. I think Watkins has the skillset to be a great #1 WR in the league, I even mentioned it to Kelly in the last post you quoted me in. Giving up next years #1 is what bothers me to no end, but I don't want to get into it and derail this thread - you've read my reasons why in other threads. It may sound like I'm down on Watkins because I've previously stated that you can realistically expect him to touch the football 4-5 times a game this year. That's not so much a knock on Sammy as it is the result of playing in a Hackett-coached run-first offense with an unproven 2nd year QB. I honestly think that's a realistic expectation for his 1st year on this team. I'm very confident he's the best receiver in this class, but I'm not certain he will lead them all statistically this year - someone with a Pro Bowl QB (Cook, Adams) could easily put up better numbers than him this year.
  3. Oh, and for the record it will be more like Hard Knocks 2014 in Rochester. They show very little footage of the pre-season games (look a shot of Niagara Falls!) - 80% of the action would be at SJF.
  4. Well, I guess I should of said "Yeah, but I never said any of that and I agree with most of your points except the one about the statistics."
  5. Coming from New England, you would think they would have these incidents on tape somewhere... /rimshot
  6. I made the 60% connection to him because there is no way in hell a #1 WR is going to catch 60% of his passes behind the LoS in the NFL. I don't think anyone who is sane would argue that. I do think he has the skillset to be a great WR in the NFL.
  7. Yeah, but I never said any of that. Someone said the writer thinks "the quick screen doesn't work in the NFL." I said he interpreted that wrong, and that the writer is saying it won't work at the frequency it does in the ACC.
  8. He's not saying the quick screen won't work in the NFL game, he saying it won't work at that frequency. Show me a #1 receiver that catches ~60% of his passes behind the line of scrimmage. Can you picture any receiver in the NFL catching that many passes behind the line of scrimmage? What works great in the ACC doesn't always work in the NFL, that's what he's essentially saying.
  9. Yeah, they'll probably cut him before OTA's. Maybe he'll catch on in the CFL.
  10. The used to call his older brother Arie, "Jason" - because he kept coming back from multiple surgeries. He also played OL at Alabama.
  11. Teams that 1) have a new head coach, 2) made the postseason in one of the last two seasons or 3) were on the show in the last 10 years can opt out of being included. That leaves the Bears, Bills, Cardinals, Giants, Jaguars, Raiders, Rams and Steelers as teams the NFL could mandate to appear on the show. Link
  12. The Pats haven't pulled Brady his entire career. Not when Cassel was the backup, not when Hoyer was the backup, and not when Mallet was the backup (see 2007 running up the score). I'd love to hear how you think they are going to get him to re-sign, maybe get A. Hernandez to hold a gun to his head? The guy believes he is a starter, he isn't going to sign a contract that virtually guarantees he'll be on the bench for another 3 years.
  13. All I see is Frank Reich with dreads.
  14. That's just completely wrong. The only thing Mallett has proven is that he's not good enough to unseat Tom Brady as the starter. He's not being shopped due to performance, he's on the block because this is the last year of his contract and there is about a 0% chance he will re-sign with the Pats to be a backup.
  15. I didn't want to be the first to say it.
  16. OROY is typically QB/RB and DROY favors LBs so I will say OROY --- Bishop Sankey DROY --- Khalil Mack These are my backup picks.
  17. Even that kicker we drafted 2 years ago had multiple pages. Anyways, I just read that he broke 3 bones in his back as a freshmen making a special teams tackle. Maybe he's one of those crazed special team guys that flies around like a missile.
  18. Well if EJ falters this year we'll know why - he couldn't handle the competition from Smooth Jazz.
  19. He was a rock star coming out of HS and I think it just got to his head. Some of his stupid career moves in college are surely the result of hiring an idiot rapper to be your agent. I think being a 7th round pick and a backup in Philly has knocked the diva attitude out of him.
  20. By the end of the month there will be posters arguing that it's really like giving up a 2016 5th round pick.
  21. I like that this regime isn't scared of character issues. I was hoping for Henderson or Siddoway in the 7th!
  22. Did you guys see what those idiots in New England did? They took a QB in round 2 when they already have a HoF QB and a 3rd round pick invested in his backup. What a backwards organization.
  23. If you believe that what I say on this forum has any affect on EJs play, then I have some homoepathic medicine I want to sell you. Being prepared and making astute deals has nothing to do with cowardice, and everything to do with intelligence. We haven't made the playoffs in 14 years because we haven't had a QB. And yes, it IS that simple. If EJ plays 16 games and absolutely flames out and we go 5-11, then I don't feel he deserves to be named the starter for 2015 and he should have to compete for his job. If our staff can't tell what we've got in a QB after 2 years than we need a new staff. Kelly we have a fundamentally different way of looking at this and I don't think we're going to be able to reach an agreement here. I'm saying we made a bad deal based on current draft value rankings and historical trades (Dion Jordon). Let's say I ask you for change for a $5 bill, and you give me $1 back. I think we can both agree that I got fleeced in that deal. Now, if I go out and buy a lottery ticket with that $1 that wins me $1,000, it doesn't mean I didn't make a terrible deal - it only means I made good use of what I got. I'm not going to run around telling people about that deal, and I'm certainly not going to make that deal in the future. I think the Bills made good use of what they got, and I hope Watkins is that $1,000. But the deal itself is terrible.
  24. There's great players that come out every year in the draft. Pretending that the 2015 draft will be a barren wasteland devoid of any talent is rationalization at it's most extreme. There's no question that Watkins is a phenom and the Bills did their due diligence, they just gave up far too much. As an example, Watkins was a projected 2nd round pick at this exact time last year. You don't understand that there's the possibility that EJ won't make it as an NFL QB. I'm rooting for the guy 100%, but really, it's possible that could happen. Yes I remember the Carolina game, but I also remember the balls he threw into the stands against the Jets. And if that worst-case scenario happens, it would be nice to have the option to fix it next year. Win now, right?
