At least 2 of Bailey, Baptiste and Guhle need to take a big step next season for starters.
- buffalofan19


Shouldn't be an issue for Guhle....the other two...I'm not so sure.

The "problem" with Guhle is that he already seems very solid. I'm not sure how much better he can get.

I’m glad Miami didn’t win it that year.
Just like I’m glad The Pats didn’t win this year.

Go get Baker Beane, Jesus Christ!
If the last several pages haven’t convinced you that a franchise QB is required to get to the Championship Table, nothing will.
We finally have enough capital to do it, but now we want to fill holes...
Word - there will ALWAYS be holes to fill.
Don’t blow it Beane, this is your time to shine, do it!

- IonSabres


Idk if we are gonna be able to trade up though?
Even if we want to do it,
we need a team to be willing to trade down that far

Gerbe & i pretty much led the “let’s tank this year for a qb” parade

I absolutely LOVE that we made the playoffs...
but it may have cost us getting one of the “big 3” (i think Allen will likely bust)

We might be stuck with Rudolph or Jackson, or even have to wait till next year’s Draft

You’re not sure how much better a guy who’s barely played in the NHL can get?

Guys don’t generally enter the league already at their ceiling

Would I be wrong in thinking that either one would be very good on Eichel's right wing?
- feetontheair22


I'd rather have Zadina playing with him, Eichel needs a guy that can not only finish, but is extremely solid in both zones with excellent hockey IQ. Would make the top line a dominating force in the NHL.

Miami beat the Bears earlier that season
Was the Bears only loss

Thanks for the redundancy. I didn't believe KingKong when he wrote it even though he seemed to remember the game and didn't need to google it like you.

Olofsson has had a really good year over in Sweden
He could be a wild card in our top6 that no one has really mentioned

Dmen typically hit their prime around 24-25..he's got a few years to continue to develop.

Then there's late bloomers like Nelson, maybe has another year or two to continue to improve his game.

For next year? Doubt it. In the long term? Sure, why not.

Hey, how was Rosen’s combine again?
Yeah, that’s right...
He was disappointing

Hahahahaha

Because Bucky Brooks thought so? Congratulations, you smoked me out.

Here’s something i did google though...

“But Rosen failed to play up to expectations, struggling with his accuracy and ball placement in drills.”

Ya, I listed a bunch of things required yesterday, back several pages that I think all need to happen.
I had all three required to “make it” in some fashion.

Ryan Leaf: Leaf appears to be the hot QB in this draft, and he led WSU to a storybook season...He is a physically imposing QB with great size and strength....he is very sturdy and durable in the pocket, and is a surprisingly good athlete for his size...He has a strong arm and shows good touch, and can change up the speed on his passes...He has good feet, but is not really a scrambler. However, he can stand in and take the big hits....He is a very naturally gifted player, but could improve on his throwing mechanics, although it is not a major problem....There are no physical or athletic limitations to hold Leaf back from becoming a great NFL QB. However, there appears to be some minor nagging questions in the area of maturity and his mental approach to the game. He is perceived as not always an easy guy to work with, and he tends to beat to his own drummer...As good as he is, he can have some streaks on the field where he looks like he has forgotten everything he has been taught...There seems to be a nagging question here that something might be missing, but it may be hard to verbalize it...However, Leaf made all the right moves at the end of his season when he declared for the NFL draft...Unless he turns some teams off in individual interviews between now and the draft, he should have no problems....Nobody will question his physical abilities, and it is not outlandish to think that he could be the first pick of the draft, instead of Peyton Manning....There is a huge upside with Leaf, and it is conceivable that he could be one of the best young QB’s in the game in 2-3 years...His ability to play as physical as he does and take the hits that will obviously come, when playing for a team that obviously doesn’t have a very good OL, will help him get over the tough times as a team builds around him.

What does Ryan Leaf have to do with anything?


My comments to Hat were bc he came on here praising how good Rosen looked at the combine,
When he actually did not look good

That said,
I’d be totally ok if we traded up for him

Watching him play great in his games means a heck of a lot more than 30ish throws at the combine with no defense

Why does Aikman never get any love?

He's got 3 rings, in the Hall of Fame, I don't think a single person that's not a Cowboys super fan would say Aikman was better than Marino.

So it's more than just winning.

- Wetbandit1



I agree , for some reason aikman gets overlooked.

I guess there is always a few exceptions

Both hall of famer though

You can't be serious with that comment.

I grew up watching Marino and nobody threw the ball like him.

He used to tell cornerbacks where the ball was going and they couldn't do anything about it.

His numbers would be joke in the modern NFL the way they cater to the offense.

He also shredded the defense many believe is up there as maybe the greatest in a single season of all time.

- kingcong39


So you have Marino as the greatest?

Clayton and duper were both good receivers

Probably better than anyone Brady threw too.

I still believe that if they hadn't lost to Steve (frank)ing Grogan in the AFC championship game, they'd have beaten the Bears in the Super Bowl.

Don't really care about the spat between you guys. Was juts illustrating a point that scouts can only know so much and can't predict the future. Tom Brady was a no body and Ryan Leaf was a god. Yes, we like to take the word of scouts, and for the most part they're generally right, but there's a million examples of a player proving the general consensus wrong.

Welker & Gronk were/are better
Not saying that Marks Bros sucked,
but they weren’t top10 in their era and were in the same grouping as the next 15 or so guys
