BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 (edited) ...and I have seen every game that he has started for the last 8 years. Obviously, we are watching different games. Did I ever say Drew SUCKED? No I did not. So please give it a rest. You are fabricating your fictional thoughts and pretending that I am saying it. The Lunatics have escaped the Asylum Good Bye. Just saying Brees=Flutie... Doesn't get more troll then that. Again, you missed the point. good day Edited March 19, 2015 by BillsFan-4-Ever
FireChan Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 You cannot argue with someone who doesn't play by the same rules of logic. It's impossible.
Kirby Jackson Posted March 19, 2015 Author Posted March 19, 2015 The Lunatics have escaped the Asylum Good Bye. Yep, we are in agreement on this one!!
Clippers of Nfl Posted March 19, 2015 Posted March 19, 2015 Im arriving late to the party. Love the cat fight going on. Anyway my 2 cents: Throw the wife, the farm, the son, the city, everything for Aaron Rodgers Throw the farm and the son for Drew Brees. Throw a 1st round pick for Rivers. That's it. I talk to a lot of charger fans. They think HE is what is holding back the team. Is he an upgrade to anything we have? Yes. But would hate being that stupid team giving 100million contract at this stage of his career. He's not worth that kind of money anymore. I would be ok with 5 year 60 with 25 guaranteed. Not one penny more. Ok one penny more.
LA Grant Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) Dareus, EJ, Cassel, & this year's 2nd for Rivers? I'm not predicting it, it's probably not possible, but Alonso for McCoy was pretty crazy, too. They both have 1 year left on their contracts. Rivers wants out, wants to have a chance to win before his career is over, and he's a small town guy at heart. Dareus is clearly bored of the Buffalo nightlife and wants to live it up in San Diego or preferably LA. If you're going to beat Manning in the AFC West, you have to get in his face and Dareus helps you do that. If Rivers is serious about leaving after one year because your franchise is moving to a city he doesn't want to live in, why not get something for him while you still can? Take the extra 2nd, package it with SD's other 2nd and a 1st, maybe they move up and take Mariota. Him with EJ and Cassel sets you up pretty well at quarterback, certainly more so than empty-handed next year. It worked out pretty well last time when Rivers' arrival sent Brees packing, right? San Diego can extend Dareus and essentially become the Dolphins which is who they are right now anyway except that they have an aging quarterback that's too good for them; let Rivers play out his 1-year contract here. He's surrounded by weapons. If he can take this loaded team deep into the playoffs or to a championship, that's a much bigger pay-day on the other side for your last professional contract than it would be to maybe go 9-7 again in San Diego.

mmichii Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I live in vista which is north san diego county. All I can say is thank you to all the people involved who put up so many obstacles to our team leaving town and thank you to the Pegulas for what they've done. The fear here is palpable and there is a bit of a sense of resignation. I know from living here that fans love their Chargers and it is heartbreaking to see this process unfold. At the same time I'm so happy that it wasn't the Bills. Speaking for myself, I can't tell you how wonderful it is to just talk about football for once. For the longest time this black cloud hung over our franchise and any discussion I had with other fans. i'm just going to enjoy this season and the seasons to come for both the Sabres and the Bills because you don't really appreciate the things you have until they're almost taken away.
Coach Tuesday Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I guess I can't blame some of the younger generation Bills fans for being such dopes when it comes to quality QB play - many of them have never really seen it up close.
8-8 Forever? Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I wonder what changes would be required to fit him under the cap.
BillsFan-4-Ever Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 rumors I heard Rivers says he won't move to LA so Skins rumors started
Kirby Jackson Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 rumors I heard Rivers says he won't move to LA so Skins rumors started That is kind of interesting. The Skins seem to be interested in every QB that becomes available. I wonder if their interest is genuine or if they are trying to use their QB interest as a smokescreen for someone to fall in the draft? I wouldn't even know who that player is though. Maybe Fowler?
thebandit27 Posted March 20, 2015 Posted March 20, 2015 I just realized that--given Rivers' cap number for 2015 of $17.4M--it would cost SD at least $20.88M to franchise tag him for 2016 vis-a-vis the CBA rule that requires a minimum 20% increase over the previous year's salary cap figure when applying the tag. Looking at the 2015 cap hits--provided that no QBs get new contracts that break into the top 10, here's what the tag numbers would look like for Rivers: Non-Exclusive Franchise Tag (average of top 5 QB cap hits over last 5 years or 120 percent of player's previous season cap hit, whichever is greater) - $20.88M Exclusive Franchise Tag (average of top 5 QB cap hits from previous season or 120 percent of player's previous season cap hit, whichever is greater) - $22.334M Transition Tag (average of top 10 QB cap hits from previous season)- $19.805M I think they're going to have to let him go (or tag and trade) unless he signs a new deal, as playing under that one-year guaranteed deal is rather impractical.

Kirby Jackson Posted March 20, 2015 Author Posted March 20, 2015 (edited) your guess is as good a mine. they brought McCoy back so its Cousins McCoy and RGIII They are as dysfunctional as the Raiders and Browns. I think that the biggest issue with those 3 teams is that they have absolutely no plan. They just wing it constantly. Maybe the Raiders are a little different in that they are just too broke to pay people so no one wants to go there. The Browns and Redskins though seem to change their direction every year. It is just bad ownership I guess. Edited March 20, 2015 by Kirby Jackson
Kirby Jackson Posted March 24, 2015 Author Posted March 24, 2015 (edited) Rumors floating around twitter this morning are that Rivers wife wants to go to Buffalo. This may be Rivers using his leverage to force a trade to a contender if traded. She apparently doesn't want to go to the Titans. Take it FWIW. Twitter rumors are what they are and I'm sure that plenty more will be out there this week. Edited March 24, 2015 by Kirby Jackson

NoSaint Posted March 24, 2015 Posted March 24, 2015 It's odd right? It's not just me? It's getting oddly close to Skelton for Mario territory. Refusing a trade of ej for a top 10 qb?
