Og, I'm all for good, open debate... But this is getting real silly... Are you seriously saying you would have no idea where to find these stats???

Here... I'll lay it out for you...

At the top of the screen in front of you is an "address bar". In this box, type "www.nfl.com" and click "Enter" (on your keypad). Be warned, things get a little crazy here... The screen changes colors and the website operated by the NFL is loaded.

Near the top of this page, there is a menu from where you can search for all kinds of great information on the NFL. And amazingly, this includes players stats. And there are all different kinds of ways to search for these stats... You can search by player name (for example, you'll want to type in "Derek Anderson" - NOTE: He is NOT listed in the Hall of Fame section of the site - I'm sure this is just an oversight on the NFL's part...) You can also search by team, or look at the stats ranked by position.

To help you out, here's a Link to list of all NFL QB's ranked by there 2008 regular season QB rating. NOTE: DA is at the very bottom - you'll have to scroll a bit to find him...

The preface of this 8 page argument is ludicrous. First, we can't afford 2 top 5 picks... the cap hit would be incredible, not only this year, but if you consider the big cap numbers we have to deal with in the next couple years for the other free agents and high draft picks.

DA was given two opportunities to claim the starting role - the second half of last season and the first half of this year. Both times he proved that he needed perfect conditions - great weather, great performances by all of his teammates in order to succeed. A little wind, some rain, some dropped balls or a pick and DA just crumbled.

Maybe in Arizona where you get to play poor defensed and in perfect conditions for more than half your season. Not in Cleveland...

Listen, you don't need to make me sound like an idiot to get your point across, not that your post even had much of a point...Maybe if you would have read you would have seen that the stats I was looking for were the completion percentages for different type throws..i.e >5 yards, 10-20 yards ect...if you have a link to those please share...And secondly, who said anything about getting another type 5 pick? If we were to trade for another 1 it would be in the 18-25 range...Don't come on here trying to make me sound stupid, when your post is exactly that.

He's projected late first to early second. I have a feeling he's going to be a major stud, and in the end should be the best WR in the draft - JMHO.

I don't see us taking WR, but would love to have this guy in Brown and Orange.

Thanks for the step by step! I've never been a PC GEEK so I didn't know all that stuff.................

For real though, thats a little harsh noob. Everybody on here strives to get along, so you should strive or get along !

My point was instead of repeatedly asking the man to give you the stats, take 30 seconds and look for them yourself. I apologize for only addressing you, b/c I should have addressed Loyal as well.

Coach does a good job posting great info on this board and badgering good posters to do something that it would take all of 30 seconds to do yourself drives me nuts.

For example...

From the link I provided, I easily got to this page that lists the situational stats for DA (including his breakdown by yardage...) That took 2 extra clicks.


Oh, and Old - I'm not a noob. I've been on this board since it's creation and on the old board since April 2001. My handle got reset so my stats started over. Thanks for the advice though

Oh, and I apologize for not addressing your other point...

You didn't explicitly state you were going for another top 5 pick, but this quote from earlier in this thread leads me to believe you are talking about another very high pick...

Agreed...how awesome would it be to grab Curry with our pick, and then Maualuga, Cushing or Spikes with the other first rounder from the Quinn trade...our D would be set.

And then later in the thread...

Trade him now and get a first rounder for him, then you can get Curry and Maualuga/Cushing in the first round. Imagine that! Our D would go from having the worst LBs in the NFL to possibly the best...especially if we could sign Suggs in free agency. Our LBS would be Suggs, Jackson, Maualuga, and Curry....WOW

---

Now, c'mon... You really think Maualuga is going to be available for pick 18-25??

AND we add Suggs? You don't see any salary cap implications with this?
