It seems difficult to determine Henry's worth when we don't even know what trading partners the Bills will deal with. Even comparing backs on a statistical basis (ie Faulk and Dillon) isn't all that accurate because the assets and liabilities of potential suitors are likely different than those cases were. Henry's value varies a great deal between teams. Bottom line is that if a team is desperate enough...anything can happen.
You really do raise a great point. Certainly he has a varied worth between clubs.
What I think will drive down his value is that the only asset he brings is an ability to run. His lack of any other skills, injuries, personality issues, and the fact that he is seeking a trade do little to enhance the possibility of the Bills obtaining very much imo, but let's hope that I am way off base here.

If we get a 3rd, I will be the happiest man on TSW. I would go right to the college board and bug R.Rich and the Jokeman about OGs, OCs and cbs.
Look for a 5th.

>>>Can't imagine Gruden wanting him either. <<<
Why not?

And then there was the time in my office when I asked one of the fat ladies (not that it matters that she's fat, but it doesn't help that she's like 300 pounds) there to be nice to the dumbass in the next cube over, just to piss him off...friggin' loon gets so incensed when fat people are nice to him, he has to run to the internet to tell everyone he doesn't know how he wets his pants over it.
That was a good one...Too tired to clean out your PMs?

it was expected.
2nd rounder is not to much to pay for a young 1300+ yard RB.
but then again TO went for a second...
but AJ feely went for a second rounder....
its all about what they are willing to pay.
and carolina has a good running back. they were lost due to injuries. doesnt mean they wont be back next year. i can see it now. the eagles trade their first rounder for R. Moss cus they dont have any recievers...
Feely did go for a 2nd, and RJ was 9th pick in the draft and a 4th. QBs are different.
As for RBs, Dillon was a #2. Faulk in his prime was a 2nd and a 5th.
Henry is a headcase with serious limitations who is coming off an injury.
If we can salvage a 5th, I say that we take it and run.

The Bills might be better off to trade him within the division.
It would help the defense's sack statistics. Ya think he would pick up Takeo on a blitz?

i ment to say:
harrington was taught to get rid of the ball. lowers his sacks, but also leads him to make throws that piss coaches off.
i always feel 2nd and 10 is better than 2nd and 18. or worse, a sack and fumble and a defensive TD... :I starred in Brokeback Mountain:
i also ment to say:
bledsoe could take some pointers from harrington in getting rid of the ball and lowering his sack totals.
Ok, relax.
PS: There are guys out there who could give Bledsoe pointers. Harrington is not one of them.

>>>harrington throws the ball away, and sometimes throws to covered recievers<<<
You wish he would throw to covered receivers?

You don't know what you're talking about. Down at the office aliens fill out the forms: a pink one, a red one, etc. When they get up to the counter to see what they think, the agents said "it doesn't count man, it ain't written in ink".
Bill, consideration for your fellow man would not hurt anybody. It sure fits in with my plan. They say "Over the border, there lies the promised land." It's no fun being an illegal alien.
>>>It's no fun being an illegal alien.<<<
Maybe you are right. I wish them no harm, but have a tough time caring about their plight.

EIL, this is NOT a dig, just a question...Why do you want so many things to be banned? Is it:
1)That you think people are stupid and that you (and govt) are more equipped to decide for them?
2) General intolerance, and if you dislike something, you want it banned?
3) Do you think Americans have too much freedom?
Btw, illegal aliens ARE banned. Do you support immediate deportation?
-
Not you, but your quote. I do not know either of you.
ICE however is the first that I have seen come out with the "anything less than a superbowl win is a failure" stance. This gives him a 31 out of 32 chance of being "right."
Imo, once a team is in the playoffs, anything can happen. Look at the jests! The advanced, and now face a rookie qb.
If ALL I cared about was winning a superbowl, I would have abandoned the Bills like a fair weather fan. This will never happen.
I am hoping to see the qb on the field in 05 who will win the most games. I happen to think that is Drew.
Btw, I also think that chances are, Drew will get hurt and JP will get his shot.

Yes, and I hope that TD does let the coaches decide instead of dictating to them.

See I think that is the same boat MANY people are in -
Most people listen to Stern during their drivetime and then some can listen at their work desks at a low volume. Now with it being uncensored, you wont be able to listen to it at all in work, even if you had a portable receiver...Even worse, those who would potentially subscribe to the service might say what I am saying - For a 15 minute drive is it really worth paying $$$ for..NAH.
Maybe Stern 5-10 years ago - Yes, but after the divorce..NAH
Your last sentence was very interesting.
Around the time of a divorce, I think he lost his edge, but he seems (imo) to have regained much of it, although the only complaint that I have with the show is when he becomes a shill for the floundering career of his girlfriend.
-
If it was my decision:
1) Pace or Jones (wont happen)
2) Jennings for 5 years/25 mil./8-10 mil signing bonus included (wont happen)
3) Teague to LT. OC and LG bolstered by free agents AND draft picks

I have been very curious of the "Stern Factor"....
I personally don't find him nearly as funny as he was even 2 years ago. I don't think having a forum where he can use all the four letter words he wants will help either....I could be wrong...
Also, is Robin leaving the program? If so, that is 2 from the original cast gone ( Jackie was the other ).
Did they pay stern $50 or $500 million ? I can't remember.....
It is not just the 4 letter words. The FCC is cracking down on the entire industry, to the point where there are more "decency" rules than there were 5 years ago. They have to spend hours editing "best of" tapes.
Robin is not leaving, and Jackie was replaced by Artie, who is funnier imo, and the contract is 5 years, 500 mil.
I dont have an opinion on the stock, but the industry will grow. When Howard leaves, they will crack down on the imitators, which can be heard on virtually every station.
Btw, Howard saw this latest crackdown coming. I was listening the morning after the "Janet Jackson Superbowl." He correctly stated that they would come full force after HIM because of JJ's breast. A smart man indeed.

On Long Island, there is a huge number of illegal aliens. They are everywhere, and the number seems to be rising every day. Whatever statistics that the government put forth are just not true.
Nothing will change because:
1) Dems view them as potential voters, servants, and cheap labor.
2) Repubs view them as cheap labor for their big business friends, servants, and they dont want to risk losing some of the strides they have made in terms of gaining hispanic votes.
Although I do not view them as "bad people," the very term "illegal" should mean something. Instead, they are allowed to congregate on the streets, literally hundreds at a time, awaiting work from local contractors, restaurants, etc.
As with any group, there is a small criminal element. The Suffolk County Executive, Steve Levy, proposed that the police be deputized to deport those involved in illegal activity. He was taken to task, and called a racist.
Many state that "they are doing jobs that nobody else wants to do." This could be true, but I dont see how this is relevant again, if someone is not legally here.
Something also tells me that these 'unwanted jobs" would pay more if there were no illegals to drive down costs, and help greedy companies weaken the labor movement.
I am not a libertarian. That nonsense about fists and noses is trite and all inclusive. That said, I agree with AD on one thing....there are issues where you will get zero help from either party.
One last point...Steve Levy is a democrat. He is a young, pragmatic leader who, as a State Assemblyman, voted against the smoking ban (in bars, not restaurants) in NYS, against the wishes of his speaker. He said it was unfair, and would hurt businesses. I would gladly support him for higher office, and people like him are the only glimmer of hope that I see for Dems, assuming the party has not already been almost completely captured by the left wing radicals and is too far gone.

Where I live, the "school board" decides the raises of teachers. They are usually wannabee politicians and/or teachers from other districts. Their campaigns are funded by the teachers union, so they owe them. The payback comes in the form of huge raises under any and all economic conditions. They now receive in the vicinity of 110 grand per year at top pay. They also get "snow days" whether or not it snows, and we all know about their paid time off, and no cost medical insurance. Can you even imagine my tax bill?
If standardized tests were eliminated, ALL of the power would rest in their corrupt hands. As it stands, almost all of the scholarships are awarded to the PTA Officers' kids, friends and relatives of school board members, teachers, and union officials.
My daughter was the only child in the district to be National Merit. She was also the only one that year accepted into an Ivy. She received next to nothing, and the PTA president's kid got 8 grand to go to an obscure art school. I could cite countless other examples.
In short, if they could have taken away her SAT scores and given them to the child of a crony, they would have. Standardized tests are a good method of keeping some power away from corrupt educators.
PS: Yes, there were also many wonderful teachers.
Bledsoe sure started out better but now I can't tell the difference between DeBerg and Bledsoe. Likeable fellows, but...
Henry free to seek trade

The dolphins are eerily similar to the Bills of a few years ago BFII. They have zero blocking, and weak qbs.
Hate to say it, but they are just a qb and an OL or 2 from contending. AS a Bills fan, I would rather see them sign Brees than Pace or Jones, and I am totally serious.
