Busted!!!!!!!!!!!

I like Wiggins a lot.

Them bleached blondes are quite loose in their own right.

Well... I know football players can get some help from teachers, but the honor roll is pretty good.

December 2005 is Drew. Travis some summer month. And Bobby Shaw is somewhere in the fall. Josh Reed is this month. At least he's still here -- for now.

That is so good to hear.

The bottomline is that if he were to declare for the supp draft, whoever won the lottery and came out with the #1 pick would certainly take him. Many teams would keep him, but I would like to see the Bills trade him. He would likely fetch two regular high round picks -- one in '06 and another in '07.

Thanks, Big Easy! Great stuff.

That too is fair, but I don't know if a guy who met Drew a few times might be as likely to tell us that he cannot complete screen pass to save his life.

Well, I'd rather have him back in the film room.

Hmm, so if you were reading in your local newspaper about a particular company you were thinking about investing in, would like to know before you read it if the writer had money already invested in that company? Ah yes, ignorance is bliss.

I have a lot of questions about our new starting QB, but I'd like to ask one about you first. Do you consider yourself a JP fan? If so, why? I ask this so I can understand where these answers will be coming from. Please don't take this post the wrong way. I appreciate your willingness to help us get to know JP better.

I am hoping JP is waaaaaaaaaaaaay too busy pumping iron, running sprints, zipping bullets through hoops in the field house and just plain glued to Sam Wyche.

My meaning was that TD franchised Peerless and then traded him -- not necessarily to Dallas. Smart ass.

You're correct. This is the play I was thinking of.

Hmm, sounds like a young Jim Kelly with wheels. Not trying to make a real comparison, just saying those certainly are traits that made Kelly a Hall of Famer. By the way, I'll take someone with good football instincts any day.

I knid of agreed with Drew regarding this play. He said he threw it because he was sure it would draw a pass interference penalty. It was pass interference, but no one should ever depend on the refs to make a call. You'd think a 12-year vet would know that.

This is a good little link to some stuff on our new starting QB. http://tulanegreenwave.collegesports.com/s...man_j.p.00.html 2003: One of seven Finalists for the Johnny Unitas Golden Arm Award. Completed 251-of-422 passes for 3,077 yards with 33 TDs and 14 INTs, one of the top three seasons in TU history. Only QB in C-USA to surpass the 3,000-yard mark in passing (3,077) and total offense (3,157) this year. His 33 TD passes are second-highest TU single season total and are tied for 3rd in the country (through Nov. 24). Threw at least one TD pass in every game this year; nine games with more than one and seven with three or more. Recorded four straight 300-yard passing games to start the season.

Not a surprise. They could still trade him to Dallas, like TD did with Peerless.

The ones over there who seem to have actually seen some Bills games think the Bills will be serious contenders if JP is "even OK." They realize we had no chance of being better than just outsdie the playoffs with Drew.

Factors? Who wants to consider factors? Stats are black and white -- no reason to look at factors. Haven't you been paying attention?

It's like talking to a wall. I didn't say ignore the stats. I just say one should understand those stats need to be looked it in the corect context. How can anyone in their right mind think a player is going to show what he is really worth when thrown in this type of situation? The game plan was not built around him -- it was built around Drew. Not trying to make a direct comparison between JP and Rottenburger, but Rottenburger didn't do too weel himself when he came off the bench in his first apperance -- where the team's game plan was built around someone else as well. He had some decent backs protecting him that first game, too. One more note: Don't forget that McGahee was also in the backfield when Drew didn't do so "great" against the Pats and Steelers.

At what point will you stop ignoring the circumstances around those stats? What you have done here is not different than a journalist quoting someone without providing the proper context. As an example that really happened. A reporter wrote that General X said: "Marines cut the power in a large portion of Mosul." But the reporter did not mention that the general explained that the power outage was necessary for Marines to get a power plant back online in the area. Big difference, right? By the way, it was an Arab newspaper. Let's take a look at one of your recent posts: You wrote: "Since JP is such a great scambler, not injury prone, and can get an extra 8-12 seconds moving around in the pocket." Sounds like you're high on JP. But the full post actually read: "Since JP is such a great scambler, not injury prone, and can get an extra 8-12 seconds moving around in the pocket. we have no reason to upgrade our line or get rid of Travis. Since he won't need to block, or catch, since everyone know a WR can get open if given enough time. The releasing of Drew and making the stud JP our starter means that we probably don't need Willis' contract either. Let's just save the money and trade him. Henry is all we need, a straight ahead runner, with no blocking or receiving ability." By reading the full post it is apparent you were using a whole lot of sarcasm to make a point that is very different than what one would assume by just reading the first sentence. My point here is that by intentionally ignoring the fact that most of JP's bad stats came from being thrown in cold, right off the bench against a Pats team that had ravaged Bledsoe all night.

What barb? I didn't hear this audio.

Bill hasn't posted again since.... think he's still with us?
