Buffalo Rumblings What about Jake?


I seem to remember that many people were on board with bringing Pennington onboard to hold the position for a year or two and groom a young QB.  I would propose that bringing Delhomme in for the same reasons wouls be something to seriously consider.  He has the attributes that would play well in Buffalo, courageous (maybe to a fault), aggressive, accountable, and most importantly a leader and commander of men.  I believe these are the attributes that would help mold a new, young QB as to how to be a professional.

The QB I have in Mind is John Skelton of Fordham.  Has the physical tools, and one could assume the intelligence(Fordham), but is raw and needs time to learn.  I believe Jake would be the perfect role model for what we have been missing here in Buffalo.  I might suggest that the money would not be as important as he is still getting money from Carolina, but I could be wrong.  Thoughts?

Buffalo Rumblings Spread Offense and QBs


I am having a hard time understanding the prevailing thought that a spread offense QB is not a good fit in the NFL because it isn't a "pro-style" offense.  My thought is why hasn't a coach tried to implement the spread or a version of it into the NFL.  Defenses make changes all the time whether it is a 46 that was "revolutionary" at the time, or the "Tampa 2", or the Pittsburgh "Zone-blitz".  Now there are variations to all these schemes.

I understand that using the option part of the spread offense is dangerous to the investment in your QB but there are still ways around it.  Mizzou used the spread the last couple years with Chase Daniels and he did not run very much.  I just think that if someone could utilize some of the principles of the spread offense in the NFL then you could get a jump on others much the same way Miami did with the Wildcat.

If this could be done then there would be a plethora of QBs that might be useful next year and beyond as more and more CFB teams move to the spread offense.  Anyway, any insight on this topic would be interesting to see and debate as we talk about next year.  Thanks for dealing with a first time poster.
