Well, Culpepper will at least be a big improvement over the QB's in the past few years for the Dolphins. I think Saban is a great coach and they already have a very good defense so I wouldn't be surprised to see the Dolphins at least challenge for the AFC East crown. That is, unless pigs start flying and my Bills win it. :roll:

Violet Heron, why are you angry that the Pack lost their third string QB? I'm a Buffalo fan and honestly I haven't heard much of Nall, probably because 3rd string QB's don't get much press.Is Nall some diamond in the rough? It's funny because on the Bills message boards some people are saying Nall will be the starter and JP Losman will be released, some are saying JP will start and Nall will be the backup with Holcomb being released, some are saying the three spots are wide open in training camp. I'd hardly lose sleep over the Pack losing their clipboard holder. There are too many other things to worry about in Green Bay. Having said that, the Pack will probably still have a better record than the Bills.
I'm not a big fan of Aaron Rodgers and Nall has more solid NFL experience than Rodgers (and better stats too, I might add). Nall also got alot of experience over in NFL Europe, whereas Rodgers only has two years of college experience and 3 games worth of NFL experience. I just feel that with Brett's retirement on the horizon, the Packers would be better served with a QB that has played well for them rather than risk a first round pick on a QB. I'd prefer to see them address their defense issues with the draft instead. Who knows, Rodgers might turn out to be a great QB, but remember that Brett was a third round draft pick who slacked off for a couple years in Atlanta before Ron Wolf saw the raw talent and made, in my mind, the best trade the Packers ever pulled off.

Nall threw 33 passes with the Packers. I wouldn't consider that solid NFL experience and that isn't long enough for me to consider stats.
I just figure if Rodgers needed more time after Favre left the Pack could always sign a free agent veteran QB. It seems like they're always hanging around waiting to be signed.

Tell me I'm not the only one who is now questioning what the hell is going on with Favre. First he was hanging out in Feb saying I'll make a decision in March - so they gave it to him. Now it's April - what the hell happened to March?...he's officially a joke all over the place. It's time to sh*t or get off the pot as the last month & ½ has been insulting to the players who actually care.
I'm so frustrated with this.

In the middle of his annual charity golf game, no less. And after he invited all the reporters down to the event to hold a press conference and to turn around and tell the reporters that he didnt know why they bothered to travel all the way down to Mississippi. This is getting ludicrious; I know he wants Green Bay to be more active in upgrading the team but at some point he's going to have to take a gamble and decide if it's worth coming back for another season.

That's Favre for ya. He thinks the football world revolves around him. I'm sure some of the Pack players are pissed at Brett but they'd never let anyone know about it if asked. The sad thing is that Brett Favre is about the 21st best QB in the NFL and he thinks he's still a Pro Bowler. :roll:
- Tthip - 04-10-2006
Ha.
And the Bills just re-signed Peerless Price.
- PortlandCarbo - 04-29-2006
Donte Whitner????... The Bills could've taken Leinart.
But instead they chose a safety?! What's up with that shite...
Anyway, for those who've not been paying attention.
The first round goes like this...
1 Houston --- Mario Williams - DE
2 New Orleans --- Reggie Bush - RB
3 Tennessee --- Vincent Young - QB
4 New York --- D'Brickashaw Ferguson - OT
5 Green Bay --- AJ Hawk - OLB
6 San Francisco --- Vernon Davis - TE
7 Oakland --- Michael Huff - CB
8 Buffalo --- Donte Whitner - S
9 Detroit --- Ernie Sims - OLB
10 Arizona --- Matt Leinart - QB
11 Denver --- Jay Cutler - QB
12 Baltimore --- Haloti Ngata - DT
13 Cleveland --- Kamerion Wimbley - DE
14 Philadelphia --- Broderick Bunkley - DT

Yes, he stayed at ND.
I don't get the Bills. First of all, they were talking about trading down in the first round to get more depth. That's fine. The problem is that THEY COULD HAVE traded down and STILL GOT WHITNER TEN PICKS LATER. Then they go ahead and PICK AT #26 a player who was viewed as a mid second round pick. Maybe the players will turn out to be good but what is Buffalo's infatuation with standing out by making picks nobody predicted? They could save money by drafting these players later in the draft if they are so hellbent on drafting them in the first place. I'm sure most Buffalo fans still haven't gotten over that Erik Flowers first round pick from a few years ago. :x
Hey, opiated, the 49ers actually have someone who can catch the ball now!
Now, if only Alex Smith learns to throw an accurate pass. 8) :roll:
