Proof that not all QB classes are created equally:

P. Schrager ‏@PSchrags
2007 NFL Draft QBs: JaMarcus Russell, Brady Quinn, Kevin Kolb, John Beck, Jordan Palmer, Troy Smith... Bad year for QBs.

Yikes, what an awful group. Other quarterbacks that were drafted but not even good enough to make that list: Drew Stanton, Trent Edwards, Isaiah Stanback, Jeff Rowe, Tyler Thigpen.

Could have had so many other players that year. But no Reid had to trade out of the first and then select Kolb.

McNabb must have been thinking WTF? I gotta go to work with Hank Baskett and Kevin Curtis?

Ed Reed left the meeting with the Texans without a deal.

Wrong. Boot time and performance is much quicker on 8.

Think I can use the "buy the upgrade version and edit registry to allow clean install" on the system. I actually do like the look and would like to give it a shot. I just don't feel like spending a bunch on it. Wish I was smart enough to get it when it was real cheap.

"Much" is an overstatement. I have both. Windows 7 boots up plenty fast on an SSD (less than 10 seconds). If you enjoy Metro and the OS modifications, go for it. I have no bone to pick with 8. As mentioned, I own it. It offers very little in the way of appreciable difference in game performance and it's done nothing to push me to scrap 7 as my primary OS. YMMV.

If you want it badly enough, let me see what I can do. I have a friend that works for MS that got me mine for $25. If I can hook you up, I will. I'll PM you this weekend to let you know since I'm getting together with him.

I don't think it's 30 bucks to upgrade any longer making it, at best, not necessary. Having to hack the OS to make it perform like a Desktop OS isn't that great either. I had to use Windows 8 for an app we were building for the Surface and that was the fucking worst.

That'd be cool, thanks. I'd like to give the OS a shot.

Biased. We know you are not fond of windows/MS Os/environments.

Congrats. You'll now get a safety that's twice as good at a fifth of the price

Come up to Denver, Reed!

Stanback turned into a WR for the Cowboys for awhile. Apparently he's on the Jaguars now, he's never played as a QB in the NFL.

The hell? Reed is still better than 90% of the safetys in the league.

 

[effzee]

Every veteran sucks! FA sucks!

For Houston Reed makes sense if they do think they are very close to winning the SB.

Though with Shaub I doubt it.

He'll actually need to tackle in HOU. HOU will not be lining him up as a single high 20 yards off the ball

Single HIGH 20 YARDS OFF THE BALL???? Fewell wants him right now.

 

[Milchjon]

Woody gone too?

Okay ARI!

I use Windows 7 at home to game on my TV. Love that OS. I don't think that MS knew what they were doing with the Surface (evidenced by the sales) and 8 in general. The impetus to upgrade isn't there. It's unfortunate that 7 was so solid that it has XP disease.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

I'll miss Woodhead.But he wasn't really needed with Vareen finally showing something.

 

[jbug617]

Doom staying with Denver.

 

[goldlion054]

Dan Miller says Delmas is back on Deroit on a 2 year deal. I guess every other team in the league had some fucking common sense -_-

 

[Colonel Nasty]

I was hoping we'd swoop in on Dumervil

 

[Bolt Vanderhuge]

We fill in those holes like that, pick up a WR, draft a solid Safety, we can make the playoffs, maybe win the Superbowl, so why not?

That's the BaltimoreLarry I like to see. Optimism!

 

[Dragon]

This Arrington deal is kinda crazy for a slot corner. Or am I just crazy?

 

[Godslay]

Doom staying with Denver.

Great news!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

You're not crazy, the deal kinda sucks.

 

[Bread]

Fuck!

 

[squicken]

Rams had issues with Delmas' knees and only offered him a one year deal. Mind you that only came out AFTER he didn't take their offer, but that's their spin

 

[jbug617]

Delmas staying with Detroit. I thought for sure he was gone

 

[Milchjon]

The only thing positive about the offseason so far is not being a Ravens fan. (disregard that SB thingy)

 

[ActStriker]

maybe you'll finally spell his name right

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Come to Mile High, Freeney.

 

[Alligatorjandro]

lol

If he's on the field more I might

 

[jbug617]

Doom restructure from $12 million this yr to $8 million.

 

[Godslay]

Come to Mile High, Freeney.

Don't need him now.

 

[Tabris]

Dumervil restructures to 8mil. Time for one more big signing?!

EDIT - We need a safety but Ed Reed is too old.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Don't need him now.

Eh fair enough, let's upgrade the safety position!

 

[Godslay]

Dumervil restructures to 8mil. Time for one more big signing?!

Money for Draft?

 

[Futurevoid]

Jets update:

Jason La Canfora @JasonLaCanfora

Jets have signed OL Willie Colon to a 1 yr deal. Another potential steal if he can stay healthy

 

[LevelNth]

Damn glad the Niners didn't offer Delmas $4.7m per for a guy who's missed 13 of the last 32 games.

 

[PhoenixDark]

Dan Miller says Delmas is back on Deroit on a 2 year deal. I guess every other team in the league had some fucking common sense -_-

Haha I'm actually glad, I like Delmas. Stat wise one could certainly argue he isn't that productive but when I watch him on the field vs not on the field I see a considerable difference in our defense.

Our secondary definitely looks better now. Now if only Delmas can stay healthy...

 

[Alligatorjandro]

Why havent any big name DBs signed?

 

[Dragon]

DRC isn't a big name? Patriots were stupid for not looking into him if they're paying Arrington that type of money to be the third corner.

I think he is garbage. He takes bad angles and can't tackle. If the ball is in the air, its like he goes even more full retard than he already is. Maybe with Quin next to him it'll be better and he will surprise me, but I remain skeptical

 

[Draxal]

Big Twitter rumor that the Pats are going to make a huge trade.

Gronk for Diehl

.

But seriously, who do you're think they're targeting, BBI think it's Fitz.

 

[squicken]

It's really hard to trade for Fitz. His base salary in every year is bonkers, and he has an 8m roster bonus coming up next year I think. He'd make more than Brady

edit: 2015 roster bonus

Hah to be fair, it's total guesswork on the assumption that HUGE TRADE means something legitimately massive, and not

Wasn't there a rumor of Fitz going to Minnesota or somewhere?
