He has to sample the product. It's his job!

Does Kraft sit on a booster seat?

Real sad not seeing Myra there.

Price again even though the play was called back explosive!

If Hoyer and Mallett are BOTH good enough, then one can be traded for picks (presumably after the season).

That would be Hoyer just because of how soon he is headed for UFA.

Beyond that, there is the nightmare scenario -- upon which we shall not dwell -- that Brady goes the way of Joe Theismann ...

I really like Price, he always seems to be one step from making it to the house on every play he has the ball. I felt like that during the Miami game too.

You develop, train and pay a guy for a year just to move up 20 or 30 spots in the draft the next year? I mean, if he fetches a 1, then it was great. But picking a guy at 74 and then getting, say, pick 45 or 50 a year later because he's signed as an RFA. Is it really worth the investment?

Are you confusing Mallet with Hoyer, who is the RFA next year that might be getting traded? If Mallet gets traded going into his fourth year, that's a couple year of quality backup QB the team got out of him, and they probably get at least the pick back (nevermind if they keep him as the future QB). If he gets traded sooner, someone would have to really want him.

Ridley just doesn't go down.

Ridley turns the corner!

Ridiculous to have this crap in-game.

(do we like Ridley and Price ? Wonder if it's a sign of things to come or a sign of preseason scrubs for opponents)
