    No, but it's best to get the early stages of grief out of the way so you can get to acceptance faster. I've grieved over about everyone I know already before they died so I can enjoy the funeral brunches better and get in some fun socialization at the wakes instead of being all upset.

    I suspect last year's numbers in tampa are more in line of what McCown will bring you as a starting QB. I like him as a backup for EJ, not as a starter (as much as i dislike ej, i'd rather him starting over mcown)
    Because he had treStman there, someone the bills should have made a serious offer for,especially when you have QB problems.

    If McCown is signed, I don't see how he beats out EJ as the starter.

    There's a rumor on another board that the Bills will sign 2 FA QBs & EJ is going to get cut next month within days after FA starts. If it happens, EJ won't be around to compete with McCown or the other guy.

    Wouldn't make any sense whatever. Carucci says 5 million a year for McCown. Manuel makes 2.4 million and would leave 5.2 million dead cap. So, they'd be paying about 15 million for 2 journeyman QB's, because another would surely want 5 also.

    If they do, do that, they are flat out lost.

    And Rex has said EJ will get the chance to compete for the starting job.

    Rex also said he thinks with the better Coaching he will get this year that he thinks EJ can improve.

    Rex is known as a straight shooter & that does not sound like a guy ready to cut EJ before TC.

    Manuel would have to be flat out terrible as opposed to his to-date merely middlin', to not even end up riding the pines on his fully guaranteed (through 2016) contract. There's just no reason not to give him a try or even end up letting him run the practice team because someone has to. They're gonna pay him anyway, and he's still a young maybe that Lee, Palmer and Roman haven't even tried working with yet.

    For all my concern about Ryan, I agree, he's a straight shooter indeedy.

    McCown signed with the Browns. Thankfully.

    The Browns are screwed in either case.

    Better coaching? Ask Geno how that worked out.

    Geno did not have Roman as his OC.

    I do think Chan can get the best out of Geno, but the Jets are a mess on both sides of the ball.

    Let me correct you, the Jets are a mess on offense, CB, and LB. Rex is going to show you how wrong you are, he cant help it. While he is out getting tattoos and his truck pimped out, the great coaches are getting their game plans for their teams ready for the next season.

    Pretty sure Rex can be working on game plans at the same time a paint shop is pimping out his truck.

    I'd guess it's a decal - like those ones we see festooned on business and private vehicles for advertising these days. Today's equivalent of the sandwich board - an old term only known to old folks, I suppose.

    McNown is the #15 QB in the NFL. And the Bills got ***** pie in Manuel.

    Manuel does suck, but you are seriously off base with McCown. The guy has one of the highest sack rates in the league despite a pretty good OL (and the best LT in the league) and leads the league in fumbles despite missing almost 2 full games. His signature highlight for the year is a TD pass that Barnidge had to catch after it deflected off his own ass.

    McCown has looked pretty good this year...surprisingly.

    Outside of constantly getting hurt.
