So the Bills want to lose time of possession by even more than they do now? Yeah that's a great thing to do in football.

 

They really aren't good enough to fuck around with full-time hurry up and need to stop it. Last time they tried it was bad comedy and this will be the same.

Sadly, I agree with DFA. The K-Gun worked because those Bills had HoF'ers and should-be HoF'ers all over the field.

These Bills...have Spiller. Sadly, I think The Underrated Fred Jackson's best days are behind him. Stevie is a nice posession receiver but not even remotely a deep threat (hey...Donald Jones is available...), and they're going to need one or both of the rookie WRs to break out, since I'm not sure they're going to get anything out of Graham. Scott Chandler is turning into a decent TE, especially at the goal line.

I don't trust Kolb to run the offense, and I wouldn't want to try a no-huddle with a rookie QB. I also can't remember who the center is, which is vital, since Kelly has said Jim Richer was the biggest part of the K-Gun being successful.

Harvin strangled a coach at Florida. Also fought a ref in high school, if I remember correctly.

Yeah, Harvin has also been rumored to have beat up the strength coach at Florida(wasn't suspended), which leads me to believe that Cooper ever tried this shit with him.  He is also rumored to have been in a physical altercation with Leslie Frazier.  He had to be restrained from beating up Brad Childress.  From what I hear Percy Harvin is one of those dudes that people don't fuck with.

Percy Harvin?  He's always injured but I don't think he's done anything shitty.

 

Harvin was a spoiled shitty dude with a terrible attitude when he was in high school and college.  Now that he's in the NFL he's just another rich dude with a shitty attitude.  People always were on egg shells around him.  He was always starting shit and they just let him get away with it.

Well maybe its just a bluff; I doubt it but hopefully Marone is smart enough to adjust on the fly. . .

Trying to be optimistic is all, and by the way I was lighting the torches and carrying pitch forks to run "fumbles"  Jackson out of the team last year, and will continue this year. . . As long as MArio is okay(Big If?) it looks like the D might be half way competent this year. .

Man, Herm is embarrassing himself on PTI. Saying "players don't see color" when talking about Cooper, and apparently Vick or any other black Eagles' player not going all BRING ME THE HEAD OF RHILEY COOPER is enough for Herm to say the Eagles "have a good lockerroom".

His college completion percentages were remarkably high. I just went through his career college stats and a bunch of other players. He was higher than Brady, Rodgers, both Mannings, Ryan and a bunch of others. Of the ones I looked at only RG3 and Luck were higher. Not by a lot. Tebow 66.4, Luck 67, RG3 67.1. Clearly college completion percentage means next to nothing when judging future NFL performance.

His offense at Florida was tailor made for his style along with not having to play like a pro QB. A lot lower talent level too even in a big conference like that.

It's often about the system with a college QB with super high completion percentages. You'll notice about five whole guys on this list amounted to anything of note so far. Most of the guys near the top have totally shit arms by NFL standards.
