Opps, looks like he's slipped to just 8th this year... http://espn.go.com/blog/buffalo-bills/post/_/id/17710/terry-pegula-rises-on-forbes-billionaire-list

This is why sitting and learning behind an established vet is so important. It's not just mastering the physical stuff, but observing the mental and attitudeinal requirements of the position from a pro perspective--where you've got to tell players 5-10 years older than yourself what to do and make them believe you can do the job, even if you're not yet certain you can yourself. Hopefully, E.J will be a lot more assertive / confident this training camp and will begin to take that next step...

No wories...it's only rock and roll.

And yet your post above called Stevie the 12th best receiver...go figure.

Any analysis that says Gronk is the 38th best is just mental masterbation, IMO...

Pass the S'mores...

Yeah, that must of been one of the two stinkers I read about where he had 30+ attempts (rather than the other games where he averaged 20-25 throws)...

The antimatter version of Jim Kelly in Buffalo? Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!

Yeah. But does Bill know the lyrics to Aqualung?

Of course. I'd want every one of those 23 guys ahead of Stevie. He's still the tallest midget in the Lilliput that was the 2010-12 Bills receiving corps...

OK, eyeballs trump the Internet everytime. How would you compare him to Tuel?

Still not impressed. No different than a RB that gets 30 carries a game and averages 3-yards a pop. That can sometimes win you a game, but usually not...

See the edit I made to my post. It looks like his HC had him swinging for the fences a lot, at the detriment to his completion percentage....

Me too. He's a dynamic runrer who can extend plays, which seems to be the new-style QB model in the mold of Wilson and Kap. May be worth taking a flyer on in the final couple of rounds. http://fishduck.com/2015/02/the-curious-case-of-bryan-bennett/ http://optimumscouting.com/draft/2015-nfl-draft-journal-bryan-bennett-qb-southeastern-louisiana-210.html http://49ers.pressdemocrat.com/49ers-draft-bryan-bennett/ http://www.nola.com/lsu/index.ssf/2015/02/five_questions_with_former_slu.html The last one's a Bleacher Report (I know, not a credible source), but I thought this was interesting: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2374547-bryan-bennett-used-to-mariotas-shadow-but-qb-could-be-ready-for-own-spotlight If there was one major concern coming out of his final season with the Lions, it had to do with that completion percentage of 49.5, which sadly jumps off the page when surveying his numbers. That particular number, though, is quite deceiving, since Southeastern Louisiana was the fence-swinging Vladimir Guerrero of FCS football. In fact, the Lions led the nation in yards per pass completion. "He could have thrown hitch routes all day and probably complete 70 percent of his passes," Lions head coach Ron Roberts told me. "He may have hit only 49 percent, but he was hitting them for big." The pro-style Southeastern Louisiana offense allowed Bennett the opportunity to do everything you see in the big leagues. He checked protections and route concepts, he worked out of shotgun and under center and he frequently made big-boy throws. A lot of seven- or eight-man protections, a lot of four-vertical passing concepts. As Bennett noted, it was high-risk, high-reward. "We definitely took a lot of shots," he said. "I know there's been the accuracy question, but I know I can deliver accurate footballs."

Turn on the lights and they all scatter...

Nope, not crazy at all. He had a lot more starting experience (82 games) than virtually all of these guys...

Exactly. Why hasn't Whaley gone down to the QB-Mart™ and bought the jumbo size model with all the bells and whistles. He could even put it on lay-away for pickup when training camp opens. Sheesh, what a slacker...

Yeah, his agent wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't let it go right down to the wire...

Not that impressive in today's era. You realize that even with the K-gun, Kelly only threw the ball 28 times a game, which had to be distributed to 4-5 quality targets. Andre Reed had 951 regular season receptions in 234 games (average 4 receptions per game, for 56 yards). In the three years in question, Fitz averaged 34 throws per game and had only one midling-quality receiver for a target. Stevie was targeted almost nine times a game, with an average of 7.1 receptions. If Andre had those type of opportunites he would have been in the HOF on his first year of eligibility...

How is that upstaging him? Shatner's in Florida for a charity event and the funeral's in California the next day. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/02/28/kirk-is-missing-spock-s-funeral-william-shatner-explains-why-he-can-t-make-leonard-nimoy-s-funeral.html

LLAP, indeed...

Agreed. Fitz's Harvard-educated brain allowed him to compute all the possibilities of where Stevie was supposed to run a pattern...and then throw it somewhere else. Invariably, that was the correct choice...

Same withe the Browns... http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/02/cleveland_browns_josh_mccown.html "The difference between McCown and Hoyer is Hoyer has made it clear he wants to start, and that he's established himself as a winning quarterback over the past two seasons. McCown, on the other hand, is more than willing to serve as a mentor to young quarterbacks such as Johnny Manziel and Connor Shaw. When Manziel gets out of rehab, he'll need all the help and support he can get, and McCown will excel in that role, a source told the Northeast Ohio Media Group. "I just want to serve our team and help everybody in that locker room, do my best to help everybody in the locker room be better at their job and they're going to help me, too. It's a two-way street," McCown said in a news release. "I'm just excited about coming in and being a part of a team." Then again, he had 6.25 million reassons to say that... http://www.cleveland.com/browns/index.ssf/2015/02/josh_mccowns_3_year_deal_worth.html

Apparently NFL.com has never heard of him... http://www.nfl.com/combine/profiles/bryan-bennett?id=2552643
