I'd take Delhomme over David Carr every day of the week. How that guy is earning an NFL salary is beyond me

Same thought...haha

Yeah it's pretty bad when you are put in because the starter is hurt, then the next week which is a short week they start the 3rd stringer cause you couldn't even keep a drive going.

I loled when I read that. I think he meant worst as it relates to salary. Which would make Delhomme a very likely candidate

yea he's earning 12.7 million plus whatever the browns gave him i don't even know what it is

so basically we paid him about 21 million to go 4-7 in 2009. what a clusterfug move that was.

...i mean you could've paid me 1 million, i would've saved you 20 million and only lost 4 more games than he did

12 million from us and 7 million from Cleveland. How much is Payton making this season?

The original article this post referenced was actually from a Bills beat writer about DE/LB Aaron Maybin (link)

Maybin is a guy who was drafted 11th overall, got 15 million in signing bonus alone, and can't even make the active roster on the Bills defense.

I think by whatever standard you use - salary, performance, etc - the Bills beat writer has a pretty good argument.

(he also mentions that Bills first round DT John McCargo, picked 26th overall, is pretty much in the same spot)

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.
