DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Ryan Mallett vs. Brian Hoyer: Both quarterbacks impressive in first practice against Redskins

If that's the case they probably won't trade him to us. Let's offer a fourth round pick for Cam and see what they say!

DA did a lot of good things eight years ago, but he was horrible in medium/and short throws - not just bad but out and out brutally bad - and he DID crap the bed in Cincy...I remember it well.


Damn auto spellcheck !

was it 30 to 0?

I think we were down 20-0 at the half. DA threw a bonehead pick-6 and another stupid pick they took to our 5 or something and punched it in right before the half. Only going by memory though

Didn't he also get injured in the preseason that year? Was that the year we lost so many in the Bears game? (I'm too lazy right now to look it up). Seems to me he started the regular season returning from a concussion. Also, I think Edwards cut his foot running barefoot at practice.

If none of that is accurate I apologize.

Why would you think that?

The NFL is an Entertainment industry.

Yeah, he got injured in preseason that year. That was the year Stallworth stepped on Leon's foot while the latter was running conditioning drills barefoot.

We can't make this stuff up.

Ryan Tucker was also lost. Stallworth tore a quad or something like that. Joe J. was lost for the year. K2 missed almost half the year. Jamal Lewis tore his hamstring in camp and it bothered him for the first half of the year. Cribbs had an ankle injury. Robaire Smith was hurt. DA, BQ, and Dorsey all were injured and lost for the year. Sean Jones missed a bunch of time.

Anyone remember Camp Cupcake?

And after all those injuries to starters and going to their 4th QB to end the season, the regime gets fired for not winning.

I thought then that if they could have come back healthy the next season with the same regime they might have done something.

I don't think that. But there are many on here who do.

Hard to forget when we are currently witnessing it.

Ahhhh...........I remember now. You had that pic of RAC pointing a finger at us.........and what did you have him saying? Dang.........I usually have a good memory. I see the pic. Can't remember the words. Something about watching us????

I forgot that you really like RAC.

It said, "I'm watching the board".

I like all the coaches. My best friend calls me a "coach lover".

For me, I learned a long time ago that I enjoy the season better if I buy into the what the coaching staff is selling. Even if I don't agree with what they're doing I try to understand what they're doing rather than dog on them because I don't like it.

My football IQ isn't high enough to question too much. Typically, when I disagree I just don't voice it.

The only exception was Mangini. I felt he had no people skills and stood on the sidelines with the look of a disgruntled old woman who claimed no responsibility for what was happening on the field. (Please lets not get into Mangini too much that's a whole can o' worms I'd rather not open).

For the most part, I do the same. It was very hard with RAC and Shurmer, though.

Got some news for you, Hoyer was a cancer...Hoyer a 6 yr vet was handed the starting role over a rookie by default and still lost his job. Then he wouldn't mentor the other QB's and walked away with his panties in a wad.

i got news for you. i would have nothing to do with a lazy drug addict either.

I've seen you post many times after you've had a few to many...at least he sought help will you?

why? want to help me?

Sure I would would be happy to give you numbers of rehab centers in your area. It's really nothing to joke about.

Are you talking about Josh Gordon?

yea him too.

i said last year. and i am not joking one bit. that is what he was last year. hey i said i think he should be starting. he is doing all the right things THIS year. i still dont think he will be the answer but he has a better shot at it than anyone else on the roster except maybe pryor....

Last year LOL.. And after watching Hoyer's stellar QB play, it drove me to drink as well.

But all joking aside none of our QB's did very well after Mack went down exposing our Oline to weaknesses.

I love you like a brother, but I also will kick your butt like a brother.

That was one of the dumbest posts I have EVER read.

You start off by acting like I am crazy by saying DA is better than McCown. What????

You then present false information about him failing in every year since. That is not true. He has played well in Carolina when he has gotten a chance. Look it up.

How is McCown a better fit for this offense? You don't even know our offense. How the hell is he a better fit when we don't know what the hell we are really running? You just made that crap up.

The 2007 line was better than this one???? You just got caught in a LIE!!!!! How many times was Frye sacked in game one? How did the line do the year before? Did Joe T address how much better it was for the OL w/DA at the QB than the previous QBs or not? Don't you dare lie. Wasn't it common knowledge that DA's getting rid of the ball early made the OL look better than the guys who held it too long?

You had a better chance of me ignoring your comments if you would not have included your first line............like I am the silly one.

So, you admit you don't know the offense either? Or are you saying you know the offense, and McCown doesn't fit?

If you don't know the offense, as you claim others don't, you might want to tone it down a bit? If you DO know the offense, aside from all your "we should've gotten Teddy" stuff, what would you do?

And if you still have me on ignore, I hope someone quotes this so you can see it. Sorry bud, just because someone disagrees with doesn't mean they are ganging up on you. I know you are a teacher and you are used to getting your way, instantly. But this isn't a classroom, and you aren't our teacher. You have opinions, as do others.

Ryan Mallett missed practice because he overslept

Maybe Ryan Mallett hit the snooze alarm for an extra five and it never came back. Or maybe he messed up the AM/PM. Or maybe there was a separate knob for the radio alarm.

Whatever the reason, Mallett overslept today and missed practice, the Houston Chronicle reports. The Texans had previously confirmed that Mallett missed practice but refused to say why.

That doesn’t reflect well on Mallett, who lost the Texans’ quarterback competition to Brian Hoyer this week and took it hard. If Mallett ever wants to convince coach Bill O’Brien that he deserves to start, missing practice isn’t the way to do it.

There have been reports about Mallett lacking maturity going back to his college days, and his failure to get to work on time today won’t do anything to change the perception that he’s just not ready to lead an NFL team.

In the future, perhaps Mallett should arrange for a wakeup call. And try not to offend the wakeup guy.

Not helping his chances. If he's sour about losing the job, he should go back and watch Hoyer tape toward the middle to end of last season. That'll, or should anyway, give him the confidence boost that he can take away the job.

Funny how some players react when getting beat out by an inferior player.

Its also funny how some coaches react when a player misses a practice because they overslept. Mallett is practicing today with the 3rd team offense. Tom Savage moved up to 2nd team. That's what happens when your coach tells you to "stay ready" and you respond by blowing off practice the next day.

Think we can trade Shaw for Mallet?

Might be worth a phone call, but I'm starting to wonder if Mallett's a bigger knucklehead than I realized. I had heard and read some non-specific reports that he had some attitude issues, but his reaction to losing the QB competition in Houston was very immature.

Mallet is Ryan Leaf-Lite

Make it so... we have to have one head case on the roster.

Chapter 2 is coming in as the backup and showing signs of brilliance. Chapter 3 is tanking the next 3 starts. Chapter 4 is sleeping in late and missing practice. Oh Wait... Mallet skipped ahead of class.

Didn't we have to send security to pick up an over-sleeping qb last year?
