Leonard Davis can be so very good and so very bad in the same game so very often that I have no idea on whether or not to keep him.

He's absolutely frustrating.

Please find me one example in NFL history of a head coach being hired with a staff already in place.

I'll wait.

Nice new sig, by the way. I haven't heard anyone tease me with "Special Ed" since about the 2nd grade. It took the other 7 year olds on the playground about 10 seconds to think of it. What did it take you, a couple minutes?

Hope you haven't waited to long. OAKLAND last year.

I see your point, but we tried that with Shelton. It didn't work.

Other teams may be desperate but they also have VCRs. They've watched plenty of tape on Davis and I can't imagine too many of them (maybe Matt Millen!) who are stupid enough to think he's worth much.

Once again I will say.

Where were you when I was barking up this tree a couple days ago.

I agree Davis isn't worth much just like Shelton.

BUT EvilAsh, and a few others did drive it into my head that we HAVE to franchise Davis. That is the smartest thing to do.

We have the money, we have the right as an organization to do so, we have no other player worth tagging, it is not like he is a total head case like David Boston, and if he comes back he will be a decent player IF he doesn't turn into a crybaby cancer case.

That was not rivisionist history. He blew at G all year long. If you are disputing that then you are truly showing the revisionist history here not me. But if you wanna blame Wells bad play and getting man handled o the center more power to you.

Buffalo offering him what they did isnt a glaring endorsement. Many team have busted open the vault for mediocre and undeserving players. Happens all the time.

Wells is not a guard. He does not have the power to be an interior lineman.

He should stay at RT where he was played very well this year.

IMHO

As a proponent of franchising Davis --

I will say it kinda bothers me that in the last eight weeks of the season, his play has noticably improved.

Is that Loney's methods finally catching on? Is that M. Brown being moved next to him?

Or is it a lazy guy going on a free agent contract drive?

Missing the biggest reason IMO.

Having a lefty at QB, meaning BIG played the frontside tackle.

I would say Big's play was about the same all season. What did get better was his number of false starts. Which is what this is all about anyway. If LD did not get that false start at the end of the game against the Rams in '05 and then follow it up with about a dozen more that season there would be few if any fans calling for his head.

If they did, that makes Well's play even more impressive.
