    Neither of my posts had anything to do with comparing two players.

    The simple point is that good QBs (and bad QBs) have bad games. Picking a handful of games and saying "here, look at these, I told you so" is wrong. If that was the only data points we had, then yes, you could say he's bad. But when there's a pool of about 18 games and you're ignoring 16 of them when stating your case... there's something wrong.

    no you're still allowed to release players.

    it's just, without a new CBA, teams can only deal with players who have been cut, noone who's contract instead just expired. (and oftentimes the guys that were cut during season aren't the kind of guys teams look to fix holes)




    The main reason he's not cut at this point though, really, is they want to at least try creating a trade with another team and receiving something for him. They want at least to make attempts towards such, first (rather than just cut him - zero return - without seeing if that alternative's available). They can't try it, however, until a CBA is in place.

    I agree with this. I also think they want to play the field. The cards are in their hand so if a nice offer comes up, they can ship Young off. If the CBA takes forever and runs too close to the season they always have a backup plan.

    We're really not in a bad position if the FO plays this right. If the CBA kills our off-season we still have the draft and a capable QB on the roster, if the CBA gets resolved we still have the option of bringing in someone else.

    If we can fix our defensive holes we're gonna be good next season.

    VY was an excision. You don't put it back in the body.

    Why so much hate for this dude?

    Did a girl you like in the stands run up to him or something? Maybe your girlfriend said she wish you were more like him?

    It has to be something cause you actually really hate this guy! That's so amazing!

    It's definitely someone on this board. I have an idea of who it was, but it's just a guess. Whoever did it may not want to come forward for the potential legal ramifications... couldn't blame them. Most of us knew it was a practical joke from the beginning, but the writing was pretty creative. Sucks for those that got caught up in it, but I think even they would have to admit it was pretty clever.

    May be a bit hard for some to comprehend but I don't hate the guy - but the analogy is accurate and is the reason he won't be back.

    Legal ramifications? That's ridiculous. The league has bigger worries than fans goofin on each other. Won't be anything further than a CnD notice..

    Vince hurt their feelings with the little stunt he pulled, throwing his jersey and pads. Vince is that black sheep of the family now. He has embarrassed them and they probably feel as though Vince forced their hands in seeking psychoanalytic therapists, therefore making him an object of their aggression. It would have been so much easier if he had just played badly his entire career. Then the hate could be completely justified, and they wouldn't be teetering toward an overly-sedative life in the loony bin. WHY DID HE WIN THOSE GAMES?!? WHY?!? HE PROBABLY DID IT JUST TO SPITE ME!!!

    What I'm getting at is: :crazy:

    The potential is there. We know it was just goofing, but it's obvious that not everyone did. The Munchak quotes could actually do some damage. If those ended up on rotoworld or PFT (who have enormous reach, but are lazy in confirming sources), it would go from "potential" to "likely".
