Wonder what prime Kyle Orton would be worth.

 

We had him in his prime and he should be on our Wall of Fame.

We had Gino Smith in our gun sites in the 2013 draft  but no we just had to draft EJ Manuel  ..

he had the “it factor” tho…

Random fact: Nathan Peterman's Wikipedia entry has 109 references. That is all

One for each INT?

Hard to believe this is the same guy drafted behind EJ Manuel in the 2013 draft class that was so bad on the Jets and has now parlayed it into another $43 million for 2 years.  

 

Kudos to him tho...he looked in the mirror, realized he wasn't the person or player he wanted to be and decided to work hard to make a change and continue working hard even when it seemed like it wasn't paying off for him the first 4 years or so. He got his chance in Seattle and he has played pretty well since then.  Not elite, but pretty good. 

 

Always like to see success stories like this...he earned it thru his actions when it was so easy to go the Manziel way.

Are people now starting to notice a pattern going on with the Jets and QBs?

Imagine paying that to someone who is ultimately the least attractive QB option in your division.

It's a big joke - isn't it??

Just curious...  How do you know what Carrol thinks?  

 

Carroll has won more Super Bowls than all 21 Bills head coaches combined.  He's also won more college national championships than the combined total of the UB Bulls' 28 head coaches.  I personally don't think Pete's "mental competence" is really an issue - despite GB's concern with his age. 

 

I also suspect he went after Geno because Josh (or Pat, Joe, etc.) wasn't available.   When you go to the store and the shelves are empty, you take what you can get. 

 

And let's not forget Geno threw for more yards with a higher completion percentage than Allen last year.  Geno's not MVP material but he's not Nate Peterman either.  

 

Well, I assume he thinks he can win big with Geno, or would not have traded for him--and then signed him to a big two year extension.

 

His offenses in the last 5+ years in Seattle have always looked second rate, and now he looks like he is establishing another one in LA.

 

Good defense coach, but seems offense has passed him by as he has aged in the league.

 

You are right, pretty good numbers from ol' Geno last year, the same kind of year that Dak has over and over, that are more mirage than reality--when push comes to shove they crumble. 

 

We shall see.
