redsbengalsbucks Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 just goes to prove how much they know about football, first they never build a team around the best RB ever and now they think a washed up brownie is goodlaughable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derekshank Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 The best backup couldn't possibly be Garcia, because he will be starting for them before mid-season.The poll should be between Kitna and Harrington.Anyway, I don't think anyone is getting screwed here. Garcia is a good QB, and so is Kitna. Kitna only played in 3 games last year, so most people don't remember his 2003 season. I would never trade Kitna for Garcia, but that is mostly due to his leadership. When it comes to talent, they're probably about even.

Who? Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Kitna or Garcia are probably the best backups in the league, by the way Bengalsrz, you make some pretty shweet signatures, just not with the right players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HairOnFire Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 My homer credentials are now intact, as I voted for Kitna despite my fresh memories of last seasons New England and Buffalo games. Quite frankly, I feel a little dirty for having done so, but there it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Gotta go with Kitna on this one. Garcia??? Geez...Enuff about that fool already.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who? Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Garcia did suck with the Browns, but come on, in that offence over in Detroit he should thrive like he did in San Fran. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 I think Detroit's offense will turn out to be highly overrated....No QB, and no proven WRs.How people think Detroit's WR corp is all that is beyond me..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickey44 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Because they have a ton of talent. They just haven't produced yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who? Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Having Roy Williams (Did very good last year) Hopefully a healthy Charles Rogers and Mike Williams would by far be the best receiving trio in the game. Plus, with their running back, it should make for an even explosive offence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Who? Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Ahh yeah, Kevin Jones is his name, he was in my opinion the best back the second half of the season last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ickey44 Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Yeah, unfortunately, Mooch likes to do that RB by committee BS. I don't understand that at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who? Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 He tried, but there was no way he could play in our offense, that man can only thrive in a west coast type offense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bengalsrz Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 true, he couldve helped the browns a lot if he played the way he played in San Fran, of course they did have TO, so maybe im wrong Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMC Posted July 15, 2005 Report Share Posted July 15, 2005 Detroit's total receptions in 2004 by this year's top 3 WRs = 54, all by Roy Williams...

membengal Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 what about billy volek on the titansVolek looked great against us.. How did he do against other teams? He was phenomenal against the entire league. A lot of Titans fans down this way are murmuring that he should be the starter this year.

membengal Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 By the way, I have been waiting for the chance to complain about this article for a few days. I like Clark Judge's stuff, but I thought he was a bit sloppy in this instance. The offending lines:"First, let's go over the ground rules: (1) To be significant, these guys must play for teams that are potential playoff candidates, and (2) they must be in situations where they have a chance of starting at some point."The first part is flattering if you are a Bengals fan. The second point simply a stupid ground rule. Every starting quarterback in the league, even the seemingly unhurtable Brett Favre, is one hit away from a stay on the bench. So his list really ought to be best back-up quarterbaks on potential playoff candidates period. I was surprised to see Kitna on this list with his second ground rule, since Palmer is so clearly entrenched as the starter. The I read the write-up:"The Bengals are going to be trouble this year, and it's because -- hallelujah -- they have a quarterback who looks like the real deal. In his first year as a starter, Carson Palmer grew into the job in a hurry, throwing for 11 touchdowns in his last four games before bowing out with a knee injury. I don't know if Palmer is fragile; all I know is that he missed the last three games." That's just stupid. And lazy. Getting hurt once like Palmer got hurt does not mean is "fragile". Palmer went out like any quarterback can go out. Took a hit in the wrong place and got hurt. Period. That is why a good back-up is so important. But as a criterion for this ranking? Stupid. Using his criteria, the other four quarterbacks are on teams with the qb situation in flux. Sticking Palmer on there as "fragile" was simply a lazy attempt to find a fifth qb. Dumb.Kitna is a top back-up, period. If something happens to Palmer, the Bengals are in good hands. But Palmer's injury last season does not make Kitna "more likely" to be starting at some point this season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StripesNTn Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Truly i thought the titans messed up by not begging McNair to retire, and using that money to get Volek some weaps A shame woulda of been a better team. I have about come to the conclusion that Tenessee is striving to be the worst team in the league this year, they want Matt Lienert to go with Mr Chow.
