Where's FTP???

[mysticsoto]

As usual, FTP disappears when reality hits him and he realizes he's wrong. It looks like Gus has been all but named the starter:

With the Dolphins considering bringing Tim Couch in, I wonder if they might want to consider Phillip Rivers from SD. Personally, I don't think he's great and I don't like his style, but some people do. He might also be a little expensive - but when you are desperate...

If they go in with what they have, they are essentially conceding the season and waiting to get a franchise QB next year along with some serious Oline help...and we all know that QBs rarely produce in their 1st year, so this means that they are pushing off a decent season for 2-3 years!!!

Are the fairweather Miami fans going to stick it out with their team through the thick and thin with Saban for that long?

[Dicknoze69]

Rivers will be starting in San Diego next year. They will either let Brees walk or pull a TD/Peerless trick and deal him.

[Shasta McNasty]

Drew Brees might end up in MIA next year as a FA.

[The King]

If I am Miami I would rather hold out for Leinhart then take Rivers or Brees. Miami needs a fresh start.

[Captain Obvious]

Look under the rock FTP has crawled under.

I was just going to say that.

he's somewhere feeling the pain of that news.

Even though starting over with Leinhart would mean they would also need a new defense by the time he's ready to contribute? Their Defense is aging as we speak. I mean, in their locker room, it must sound like popping plastic bubble wrap every time they stretch...

Mind you...I'm not saying I care, but I just think that this path will lead them on a long journey before they are a good team again - and I have to wonder if the fairweather Miami fans would be willing to take that long or if they would turn on Saban long before...

LOL! From the looks of it, he's going to be feeling the pain for some time. How astute of him to choose such an appropriate name...

[MDFINFAN]

I'd take Rivers, that is a fresh start, but I still think AJ's the answer and Gus's the stop gap until AJ is fully caught up on this system.

What a great 2nd round pick Feely was.

As usual you believe evrything you read, unless someone bashes your team ofcourse, then they are idiots who don't know anything about football. How terribly mature of you. I'm still here and will be, I'll enjoy the fact that the Bills will be avg. once again and lucky to split with any division rival. I also read that Miami's D is getting older as we speak....really, I guess yours never agaes huh?? I think we added much more and younger players to our D this year and all you did was lose a run stuffer and added nothing, zero,zip,notta ,nothing sorta like your personality!! No, check that....exactly like your personality.

Really, name the younger players that Miami added to the defense. And Buffalo's defense was 2nd in the NFL last year, what did they really need to add? Another really stupid post from FTP.

Right. Like the recent NFL power rankings. No doubt written by idiots. Fins 30th?

What a great 2nd round pick Feely was.

Not any worse than that first rounder you guys coughed up for Drew Bledsoe. Plus, you gave it to a fellow team within the AFC East. Smart move Buffalo.

As for conceding, I doubt it. I don't think any team concedes anything. If that was the case, Brees would be out of San Diego and Rivers would be starting. Brees hung tough, played hard and won.

While I don't doubt that Miami is looking for a longer term solution at QB ( please god not Tim Couch ), I don't think they would be stupid enough to "tank" a season by starting Gus for any number of reasons. Be it to get Leinart ( who BTW, is coming of a serious shoulder surgery ), Omar Jacobs or Drew Brees. Players at this level aren't geared like that and neither are the coaches.

Where did this label of fairwethered fin fans come from? Hell, the same can be said about Buffalo fans. Those fairwethered Bills fans are horrible...see? Simple as that. Just because you say it, doesn't make it true.

Well, Channing Crowder who has been tearing it up in camp for one. Also, Travis Daniels, another rookie who seems to be playing pretty well. Might even start opening day. Donnie Spragan, another starting linebacker who has played remarkable well in a new scheme. Josh Shaw has played very well on on D-line and should get some time in the rotation this year. Matt Roth has shown great signs of imporvement over the last few weeks as well. In fact, he was playing and holding is own with the first unit against Pittsburgh and even got a sack and a few other pressures.

Buffalo was only second on yards allowed which is misleading. Miami was a top ten D last year too I believe, but that doesn't mean they were a dominant unit. While I feel Buffalo is a great defensive team LAST YEAR, that doesn't guarentee anything for this next year and year's to come. Besides, seeing how Clements wants to be payed like he is the best CB in the league after this year, you may have some problems moving forward.

[Mr.Right]

Why are Bills fans' criticizing other teams' starting QB's?
Here's Losman's 2004 'stats':
http://www.nfl.com/players/playerpage/493000
Ryan Leaf, Rick Mirer, Todd Collins, and Akili Smith were 'supposed' to be good coming out of college too.
You better 'worry' about your own team I don't see them winning many games this season!

How bout.....Matt Roth DT/DE/LB in the 2nd, Channing Crowder MLB in the 3rd, and Travis Daniels CB in the 4th Kevin Vickers DT/DE in the 7th and supp.draft Manny Wright!!!Thats a whole lotta youth on the D!! But keep on believing Miamis D is getting old!! Just goes to show the lack of football knowledge from several bill posters here....isn't that right mystic???


BTW, Miami finished 8th overall in D and had the 2nd best secondary in the league. And that was a 4-12 team,finishing 8th in overall D and 2nd in pass D....in case you didn't get it the first time. Now we added 3 out of our first four draft picks and brought in players like Kevin Carter, Vonnie Holiday, Donnie Spragan and Kieth Traylor to our D. I'd say our D has gotten much stronger then yours!!! And we had a good season on D last year, even though we couldn't stop the run fro too many injurys. We will be better on D this year and yours will take a step backwards. As for the really dumb statement that you really don't need to add better players to your D because you 2nd ranked D last year!!! WOW...I wish you were HC, but I guess I don't have to wish for it your brillant HC doesn't think the D needs to improve, good for us and sucks for you. You'll see.
