I have Mike Williams and Kraig Urbik not playing while being questionably better than the alternatives. Getting rid of Stevie after being at odds with him in 2013. Do you have proof that he doesn't hold grudges? We can play this game all day. I never offered proof, I simply said I'm not convinced that it isn't an issue.

I'm still not convinced that Marrone prioritizes ability over his grudges.

Only on two conditions: 1) marijuana legislation and regulations are changed. It shouldn't be an issue, but for the league, it is. And Gordon either can't control himself or take precautions not to get caught. 2) Marrone provided the mgmt some assurance that Gordon would actually get to play. The Mike Williams situation gives me pause here, even though he is about 1/10 the talent of Gordon. But he would probably be worth the flier. Well, and there's that.

Break out game coming up for Wright and Lafell, plus their 8th string RB.

Jerry Hughes was once another team's under-achieving draft pick.

bingo.

You are disqualified on the basis of too much self-awareness!

Consider the source, and that he is likely just discovering the existence of fire.

Do you mean GMs like Doug Whaley, who has continued to voice confidence in Manuel?

You're right, no player has ever achieved after 2 years of showing nothing. Signed, Aaron Rodgers Jerry Hughes Alex Smith To name a few off the top of my head

EJ is at least a passable threat to run and to escape with his legs. Orton is a threat to look like deers in the headlights. EJ also is better at selling the play-action.

The crusade Aaaaaaand the crusade is back even though the kid hasn't played a down. Yet the running game is far better with Manuel in the mix.

I found this interesting also. Good pickup.

Agreed on both. Aside from team pride - which sure isn't manifesting itself in onfield results - I am not sure what there is to gain or preserve in starting Orton. I think if Orton starts it just tells me that Marrone is focused on keeping his job.

File under: wishful thinking.

It's like winning the Miss Frewsburg contest.

bingo. But it's not the coaching! Btw Oakland is something like 9th against the pass and 28th against the run...

No freaking face mask on the left tackle on the play before that TD.

Yup. And Brady.

I'll bet Mario had some pals in Houston. I know he was sold on the area, but that was after the Bills showed him the money. Being sold on the area was not something that led to a discount; it was something that allowed Mario to look at a traditionally maligned location and look past those impressions, to take the money. Come contract time, it's business first, and even when it hurts the team, few players begrudge other players seeking big contracts. It might be the one chance they get, and Hughes has definitely had his ups and downs in the league. It's time to cash in on his good situation.

Can we trade the rights to Skelton for Cutler? That I'd do.

There is f---ing no one at this game. Jaguars = joke franchise.

Given the history, I'm sure Tommy would be real jazzed about going to Buffalo. Let's get real. If and when he leaves New England, he'll be setting the terms.

Other than the Carolina and Cincy games, they've been pretty competitive at home. But I digress. In one season I think it's harder to evaluate. Especially one where you play the likes of Tampa and a broken Chicago team on the road. Their reverse-split against Carolina is also strange. I like Brees, but God is a bit much. Although it might take that to get the Bills a Super Bowl win.

I think the argument is that he can be a franchise player for 3 years at min. If you were going to get 3 years of elite performance from a first round pick, guaranteed, you should take that option even if it doesn't yield dividends over 10 years. You can hardly project over 5 years for a draft pick given FA. The question would likely be, how much more than a first-rounder would it take, to get Brees. It simply ain't happening. That REALLY only happens when the well-regarded, groomed replacement is in waiting or even finding some onfield success.
