I've learned my lessons...never again will I overestimate the caliber of an inaccurate poor decision maker with a rocket launcher arm coming into the NFL.<br /><br />I'm on record on another forum as thinking the Lions just bought themselves Kyle Boller for $72MM. I like the Lions, so I hope that's not the case. But I unfortunately think it will be.Chris Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996455466572610983noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518999264103251377.post-73572851373473702232009-05-05T07:48:00.000-04:002009-05-05T07:48:00.000-04:00if only we had this blog when boller was sucking i...if only we had this blog when boller was sucking it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518999264103251377.post-72609625721807788172009-05-03T06:57:00.000-04:002009-05-03T06:57:00.000-04:00http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/05/mark_sanc...http://www.nj.com/jets/index.ssf/2009/05/mark_sanchez_proving_to_be_qui.html<br /><br />Sanchez, who held another unscheduled meeting Friday night -- this one with the offensive line to discuss protections -- also has the ability to snap back from a poor practice. After a so-so morning session that he described as "decent," he came out humming in the afternoon workout. He hit his first six passes in seven-on-seven drills and finished 12-of-15. He connected on 2 of 4 passes in 11-on-11 drills.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518999264103251377.post-4413127061541761352009-05-02T16:17:00.000-04:002009-05-02T16:17:00.000-04:00[tongue in cheek]

Ryan wasted little time talking with rookies and veterans on the field, offering congratulatory helmet slaps to anyone who made a nice play.<br /><br />“I thought Matt threw the ball well out there," Smith said.<br /><br />[No word on if he wasn't accurate, does say Ryan was nervous.)<br /><br />http://www.nfl.com/news/story?id=09000d5d8083e5a2&template=with-video&confirm=true<br /><br />One practice doesn't reveal a whole lot, although in Flacco's case it did show many of the qualities that convinced the Ravens to make him the highest-drafted quarterback in franchise history (18th overall). He threw the ball with fairly good accuracy and excellent velocity, which is his most compelling attribute. He was part of the lone highlight play of the non-contact session, connecting with wide receiver Mark Clayton on a 50-yard bomb.<br /><br />--------------------------------------------<br /><br />What does this tell us? I think it says that Stafford is destined to become the league's first $72MM 45% passers.<br /><br />[sic]Chris Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04996455466572610983noreply@blogger.com
