Then you havent been paying attention to the whole story. Go back to his true freshman year, and he made TONS of the "OMG I need that guy" type of passes. But he also had a strong offensive line, and elite WRs, many of which (OL and WR) are in the NFL right now. But last year, when those WRs graduated and much of the OL was replaced by true freshman due to the sanctions, he was sacked FOURTY FOUR times, and knocked down probably another 100 times. As a result, he struggled BIG TIME. He is still raw, but he has the tools to be a top flight NFL QB. I think you will see him step up this year. Here is his freshman year highlight reel: https://search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?p=hackenberg+highlight+&ei=UTF-8&hspart=mozilla&hsimp=yhs-001. AS a true freshman he had poise, composure, made smart decisions, was a strong leader, and progressed through his reads in a NFL offense run by Bill O'Brien. Many college QBs look good because the players are open and they get them the ball. Hackenberg as a freshman was able to anticipate the play, and lead the receiver. Last year, under James Franklin, he regressed, but I attribute that as much to Franklin and the offensive scheme as I do to Hackenberg. Assuming he declares, I GUARANTEE you that he will go in the first round. There is NO WAY Bill O"Brien and the Texans will be on the clock and not select him. ZERO. Someone is going to get a good QB. I hope its us. Actually I hope EJ plays so well we dont need Hackenberg...but it would be a good consolation prize if this season goes as I am afraid its going to.

Is this really any different than an "AFC East Champion" (or any other division winner) banner?

Lol. Sad but true.

Shocking...no...no its not.

Farve got a 50k fine. I think this is worse, but not too much worse. Maybe 100k fine. Maybe one game suspension. The real kicker will be if Brady didnt tell Billicheck what was really going on. If that trust erodes...game on!

This side show is going to be entertaining to watch...

Okay fine...my full list Worst Draft pick ever? Maybin is a good choice, but I am going to go with JP Losman for the many years he set us back. Also under consideration: Erik Flowers. Most hyped/highest draft pick worst? Mike Williams Most hyped 4th round or higher marketing bust. Tank Carder Least hyped late round/UDFA surprise. Stevie Johnson Least hyped F/A surprise. Steve Christie Worst trade? Trading up for JP Losman The annual late round pick everyone loves, but does not make the team and is out of the league. Drew Haddad Worst line from a Bills head Coach "I’m going to go home, not talk to anybody, just shut it down. I’m going to be by myself, I’m not going to pet my dog and I’m going to get fired up...I’m going to be a pro, I’m going to be a man. ” - Doug Maroon.

For #3, I might go with Tank Carder.

Mike Hull.

I lost alot of interest once they went away from the Sat/Sun marathon draft days.

Except when you have a long TD near the end of the game, and run out of bounds at the 1 instead of running it in so that your extra point is "easier".

Marrone gets my vote. Guy had a chance to be successful here, but decided to walk away to be the Jags O-Line coach. Give me a break. Mularkey is on my list, as is Juron, but Marrone will always get my vote.

While I dont like to play a tough team week 1...week 1 is the week you can pick off a tough opponent who isnt quite ready for the season.

Barkley Bradford Sanchez Tebow ....are they trying to collect these types of guys? Gotta think only 2 of them make the final roster...mariotta or not.

This is awful.

Ugh. Okay. Probably time to move on. I just dont know why we cut Scott Chandler!

He is a good TE who came up big for us alot over the years. I am sure he will be great in New England (unfortunately). I'm penciling him in as a late-round fantasy draft pick...

Gotta be a good sign for us with Clay

No deal today? Pfff...same old bills...

Pretty funny. Compete with Hoyer & Manziel...or EJ Manual. I wonder if Hoyer becomes available. I'd take him.

Awesome!

I'd feel better with Matt Schaub, but there arent many options out there. We need a veteran presence...even if he is holding a clipboard.

Perfect fit. He has never been on a team win a winning record. Welcome home SJ!

I have a funny feeling this is the one... (no inside info!)
