Hey Pats4life, that Zach Thomas sig has lost it's meaning....Zach is getting the reputation as a wack job.

Arizonia just put Josh Mcown in and he did fairly well for his first game against a good defense. Hopefully he does even better next week.
Maybe we have reached the year that bad teams quit drafting QB's in the first round. :D

I just looked through the standings and I think it's a very good year in terms of talent and teams below us to need a QB. Although I think we may be receiving a castoff in the offseason and going wide receiver in the first.

Some people are starting to think that the guy is not stable. Maybe to many hits to the head.
There are stories going around of his mood swings and freak outs.
Here's one:
After the Indy game he was watching film with the backers and he ripped into Greenwood on blowing an assignment. The next play on the film showed E. James running right over Zach. Morlon then asked Zach what was that? and Zach wanted to fight and began throwing chairs.
We need to win a super bowl quick for Zach's mental health.

Trade Bait
I hope you're wrong about going WR in the first as I think the draft is as deep as it's ever been at that position and studs may be available as far as early in day two. Ideally, and this is probably just a pipe dream depending on how the top of round one plays out, I'd love either Roethlisberger or Rivers to be sitting there several picks before our first pick (assuming Ogunleye leaves via RFA and Miami gets a first in return) with a team that doesn't need a QB on the board. We trade them two firsts for their first and second and get one of those QB's with the first and an OL (or possibly a WR if one too good to pass up is sitting there) with the second. I don't know if such a trade is plausible based on that draft pick value chart, but it sure would be nice if Miami had a full complement of draft picks for a change.
EDIT: if a team like Washington, who has a history of signing RFA's, needs a pass-rushing DE with the retirement of Bruce Smith and, as of now, a top ten draft pick signs Ogunleye, Miami wouldn't need to trade up to get a stud QB. Again, I'm sure it's another pipe dream on my part.

It's a done deal - Rothlisberger is going to the Raiders. Denny Green will be their new head coach, along with new WR Keyshawn Johnson. WRs Rice and Brown will officially retire, giving the Raiders the room to sign Johnson and other free agents.
