I do believe that they felt strongly if they improved the team around the qb, then it wouldn't put as much pressure on him. Either way, we're stuck with them for the rest of the season. Just be patient, and know that the savior is on the way.

I'm pretty sure I implied this heavily in the last section of my long sentence.

Add Banks to the smackdown for making some poor decisions.

Bullee DAT. I was actually rooting for Niles Paul to break one on his return so we'd have justification for cutting Banks. Is it me or does he look slower and not as decisive as he was last year in deciding where to go?

Injury might have made him slower. But yeah, his mentality has become more of "must break the long one" instead of "take whatever yards I can". The former attitude is ultimately counterproductive since it makes him hesitate too much. That in turn makes it easy pickings for the coverage team.

I think that is definitely the case. Whenever you hear him in an interview, he's always saying how he needs to start breaking big returns. He obviously knows that the longer he goes without breaking big returns the more we're going to be an advocate of cutting him. When it's probably that same attitude that's killing him in the first place.

Proof that long sentences are simply not read in full. I must remember to keep them short. My professional writing class prof made it a big point to keep them short.

Well you and me both, I too am a culprit of writing out long drawn sentences that might be better off summed up in a few short words.

You two could enroll in the "Earthquake class of 2007 short posts."
