And interceptions is always a misleading stat, its hard to know how many are on the QB and on his receivers. Like Favres was on Chester Taylor at the end of the last game, Ben has 2 that were end of half/game heaves and 1 that was Santonio Holmes being a stoned idiot who admitted to it. I guess sacks is also misleading too when criticizing an O line as well, because guys like Ben R and Rogers hold the ball--but they also make more bigger plays due to it as well.

the only non-misleading stat is whether or not genjiro gets a boner when he looks at ben roethlisberger.

and that one's a 100% success rate

Probably one of the underlying reasons Bud wanted to be somewhere else. Houston had an amazing fan base and they've had good teams over the years but they were always the second-rate Texas team, even during the "Love ya blue" days.

Larry Johnson from KC is banned from "team activities" while there is an investigation about something he said.

What did he say? Is this the "our coach never played football so he sucks" guy? If so, why is he apologizing to kids for being a bad rolemodel?

So apparently it's national news that Buccaneers fans are calling their coach Radio on the team message board? Must be a slow news day.

LJ called him a faggot (or another gay slur, pretty sure it was faggot though), got in trouble for it, and then did it again.

LJ called the reporters pillowbitters. What he said about Haley, is that he basically never played football. When he was in collage he was playing Golf. Haley grew up around football as his dad was a head scout for the Steelers in the 70's. I am sure Haley knows a thing or 2 about football. He's been around it his whole life.


I posted a link abut what he actually said in his tweets a page or 2 back before this became a national story. They just need to give him the Keyshawn treatment. Make him inactive for the reason of the season, then get rid of his ass or do the same next year.

Nah, the entire QB rating system is misleading, I even pointed out a way which Ben could manipulate it to his favor. In the end it doesnt really matter, wins are wins, losses are losses, you should know that by now.

But what I do know is, Ben is better than Jason Campbell, who your retarded swiss-cheese-for-brains decided to rationalize was the best QB in the NFC East. How's that working out for you? Best QB in NFC East? Maybe the next to last in the NFL aside from Jamarcus? What's even more hilarious, is you think fat Albert was worth that money. How many games has he won for you this year? Keep enlightening us with your football wisdom.

Meh I think Albert is a badass, that's one acquisition I won't shit on Snyder for. I was the one ranting about how the guy only really stepped up in the 2 years he was in a contract year (final year of contract then a franchise year). Though he requires so much attention he gets sacks for your ends and other pass rushers though, he's just a force.

What they were thinking giving Smoot, Patten, Lloyd, Archuleta, Dockery, Randel El and Hall that type of money I have no fucking idea though. It's even worse because shit like Hall's contract make players like my Dunta Robinson think they deserve that or more. Why they drafted, WR , TE, WR in a draft when they still had Cooley and Moss I don't know either. All three players had pretty big question marks too. All three could be good, but you don't take all 3 back to back to back, do you? Campbell wasn't cheap either he costs them a first, third, and fourth round pick.

The QB system is incredibly misleading, Genj is right about that though. Maybe they should factor in first down throwing, first downs converted on third and long, or something else into it. I don't know. I watch a lot of fucking football though so I don't look for a system to tell me who is good and I bet I'm not alone with that.

As the system is now if you're a team that runs the ball once reaching the redzone you're taking valuable QB rating points away from your QB. Because touchdowns swing that thing in a crazy manner.

Technically Jamarcus isn't even last in the NFL. He is BELOW last. Yes, out of 32 NFL teams, Jamarcus is 34th.

Do fumbles play no factor into it? Because I feel like they should. I think Campbell has like 10 fumbles this year already, same with Russell

this guy is right, we value "skill" positions too much and it really shows starting last couple years and especially this year with the state of our o-line

if you don't think the albert signing was a good one, you're not really looking at the situation

p.s. i'd still take campbell over romo and a number of other teams' qb situations
