Looks like Graham is willing to pay the price to make it. I wish him well.

I don't think there is anything wrong with being a system QB if it is a quality system. even brett to some extent was a system QB. if the LBs and DBs do this- you do that.

I believe when one hears the term system QB they feel it as someone who does the reads and is very safe with the football with taking little to no risks. Alex Smith 2011 49ers for example. Brett Favre took a LOT of risks and a lot of unnecessary ones at that.

thank you. Mike sat on him and really tied him down as to what he wanted Brett to do. When he listened Brett excelled. When he didn't it was same ol Brett chucking the rock.

You've been extra-owly lately. Did you light your porch on fire again?

    Zero2Cool (9h) : Still HC positions available out there. I wonder if Hafley pops up for one
    Zero2Cool (9h) : Trent Baalke is out as the Jaguars GM.
    dfosterf (11h) : Jeff Hafley would have been a better choice, fortunately they don't know that. Someone will figure that out next off season
    Zero2Cool (12h) : Aaron Glenn Planning To Take Jets HC Job
    dfosterf (13h) : Martha- C'est mon boulot! 😁
    Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you
    wpr (13h) : Z, glad you are feeling better.
    wpr (13h) : My son and D-I-L work for UM. It's a way to pick on them.
    Zero2Cool (13h) : Thank you. I rarely get sick, and even more rarely sick to the point I can't work.
    wpr (13h) : Beast- back to yesterday, I CAN say OSU your have been Michigan IF the odds of making the playoffs were more urgent.
    dfosterf (13h) : Glad to hear you are feeling a bit better.
    Zero2Cool (14h) : I've been near death ill last several days, finally feel less dead and site issues.
    Zero2Cool (14h) : It is a big deal. This host is having issues. It's frustrating.
    Martha Careful (14h) : just kidding...it was down
    Martha Careful (14h) : you were blocked yesterday, due to a a recalcitrant demeanor yesterday in the penalty box for a recalcitrant demeanor
    dfosterf (14h) : Was that site shutdown on your end or mine? No big deal, just curious
    beast (21-Jan) : That way teams like Indiana and SMU don't make the conference championships by simply avoiding all the other good teams in their own confere
    beast (21-Jan) : Also, with these "Super Conferences" instead of a single conference champion, have 4 teams make a Conference playoffs.
    beast (21-Jan) : Also in college football, is a bye week a good or bad thing?
    Martha Careful (21-Jan) : The tournament format was fine. Seeding could use some work.
    beast (21-Jan) : You can't assume Ohio State would of won the Michigan game...
    beast (21-Jan) : Rankings were 1) Oregon 2) Georgia 3) Texas 4) Penn State 5) Notre Dame 6) Ohio State, none of the rest mattered
    wpr (21-Jan) : Texas, ND and OSU would have been fighting for the final 2 slots.
    wpr (21-Jan) : Oregon and Georgia were locks. Without the luxury of extra playoff berths, Ohios St would have been more focused on Michigan game.
    wpr (21-Jan) : Zero, no. If there were only 4 teams Ohio State would have been one of them. Boise St and ASU would not have been selected.
    Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : So that was 7 vs 8, that means in BCS they never would made it?
    Martha Careful (21-Jan) : A great game. Give ND credit for coming back, although I am please with the outcome.

    beast (21-Jan) : Oh yeah, Georgia starting quarterback season ending elbow injury
    beast (21-Jan) : Sadly something happened to Georgia... they should be playing in this game against Ohio State
    beast (21-Jan) : I thought Ohio State and Texas were both better than Notre Dame & Penn State
    Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame getting rolled
    Martha Careful (21-Jan) : Ohio State just got punched in the gut. Lets see how they respond
    Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Notre Lame vs the Luckeyes, bleh
    Mucky Tundra (21-Jan) : Oh snap!!!
    Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Even Stevie Wonder can see that.
    Zero2Cool (21-Jan) : Nah, you see Lions OC leaving to be HC of Bears is directly related to Packers.
