  1. Interesting statement on Peppers. He's a big question. I mean, watching him play, I can't decide if he's Eric Berry or Coy Wire. In other words, he's either going to be really good, or really bad. The athletic potential is beyond question though.
  2. Cleveland has $100 million to spend and they couldn't even retain Terrell Pryor, an Ohio State product, for $8 million. I'm annoyed with them for different reasons.
  3. I really don't care what a QBs mechanics are as long as he can deliver the 15 yard out with accuracy and on time. Aaron Rodgers often throws with horrible mechanics. Trent Edwards had great footwork and a quick release. Which one would you take? In the NFL, successful QBs are accurate, competitive, and have football smarts. If Mahomes has these qualities, I want him on the team. Watching him play I'd say he has the first two. The combine would answer if he has #3.
  4. Yes. A guy his size should get a mandatory 3 jump ball opportunities every game.
  5. Didn't Kap play last year well below his playing weight due to an injury? It's not surprising to see strength/accuracy lost on many of his throws. This isn't an argument for signing him. I'm just saying.
  6. I'd bring him back, but only if Steve Christie coaches him.
  7. Didn't see that this thread had already been started. Please ignore.
  8. I have a feeling that the biggest addition to our WR corps next year will be Listenbee. I was super impressed with him at TCU. I can't wait to finally see what he can do for the Bills after being injured last year.
  9. Something major must've happened in the front office. You don't fire your GM at the start of free agency...with the draft around the corner.
  10. Criticize them all you want, but I can think of a couple of posters here who will take those numbers and run with them...just to argue that Whaley, "needs to go." A lot of people just want to read what they believe. The truth is secondary.
  11. He's no Darrius Heyward-Bey. Seriously though, with Al Davis no longer with us, I don't think any team out there will take Ross over Davis or Williams just because of the 40 time.
  12. I've learned the secret to sports journalism. 1) You make an early prediction. 2) You make a late prediction which is the opposite of your first prediction. 3) After the issue is resolved you say, "See, I was right?"
  13. Imagine what the athletic freak AP will do with the assistance of the Patriots' HGH program. 1500 yards rushing and comeback player of the year. You all know it's coming right?
  14. I love posts like this. Great job. I would lose it if Adams were there at 10. Hooker would be a great consolation prize. But I think Adams is the star in this safety class. I really like AW. He has a lot of heart. He's the kind of emotional leader this team needs. But I worry about his health. For that reason alone I hope he retires.
  15. They are who you thought they were?
  16. You sir, are my spirit animal. I can't think of a time I read one of your comments that I didn't agree with.
  17. You should've stopped by the Applebee's.
  18. From your keyboard to God's eyes.
  19. Watson is a superior athlete. No one can deny that. But he's a superior athlete who just happens to play quarterback on a supremely talented football team. So it's easy to see why so many have fallen in love with him as a QB option for the Bills. But Williams, Renfrow, and Leggett saved him many times by catching poorly thrown balls. It's amazing that a few of those underthrown jump-balls to Mike Williams weren't intercepted in the Championship game (tribute to Williams being that amazing). If the Bills select Watson, I won't be happy. But I'll cheer for him every Sunday.
  20. He's no Donte Whitner...but I'd take him at 10. Seriously though, you know when you're watching a good team on Sunday, and they have this athletic freak making plays all over the field? That's, likely, Malik Hooker in the future. The kid has star written all over him.
  21. No one mentioned Mark Brunell? Backed up Favre and had a lot of success in Jax.
  22. Sure, Whaley can get some good players. But have you seen his press conferences? Kidding aside, the most underrated signing by Whaley has been Monos.
  23. That was my point. Why would you get Davis or Howard (racing tires and a spoiler) if you don't have an engine (a QB who will get them the ball). I like Tyrod, but he isn't much of a pocket passer. He would not be able to spread the ball to Sammy, Davis, Howard, Clay, Shady, etc. Having great receivers doesn't automatically help the QB get better. Getting Terrell Owens didn't help Trent Edwards. The Lions drafting Charles Rogers, Roy Williams, and Mike Williams (all top 10) didn't help Joey Harrington. Tyrod, like EJ and Trentative, is too reluctant to let the ball fly.
  24. I can't understand why some people buy racing tires and a spoiler for their car before even having an engine.
  25. Mahomes is my pick. Kaaya, to me, looks like Trent Edwards. Pretty good on short and intermediate stuff. But crumbles/panics in the face of pressure. Damn, I had hopes for Edwards. Watson, again in my opinion, is this year's Tim Tebow or Vince Young. A guy who carried his team to a championship. A superior, gifted athlete who happens to play quarterback. But the team he carried to a championship had a ridiculous amount of talent. And his completion percentage was helped by the receivers and routes. I'd take a true QB who is a decent athlete over a great athlete who's a decent QB.
