Chip Kelly Could Use A Young Quarterback Like Colin Kaepernick
AFC News, BREAKING NEWS, News, NFC News, NFL Monday, January 21st, 2013
I know Eagles new head coach Chip Kelly had to be sitting somewhere staring at 49ers young quarterback Colin Kaepernick imagining him on the Eagles roster. I’m sure Kelly would love to have that young man running his uptempo, read option offense for the Eagles in the upcoming year. Unfortunately, the young man isn’t likely to be leaving the San Francisco organization for a long time.
It’s all about the quarterback in the NFL. If your quarterback plays well, usually your entire team plays well and you win football games.
In the NFC title battle, Matt Ryan passed the Falcons out to a 17-0 lead by getting the ball to his three outstanding wide receivers Julio Jones, Roddy White and future Hall of Famer, tight end Tony Gonzalez. Ryan made some great reads in the first half, followed by some quick,exact decisions and precise on the money throws.
He completed the first half scoring with a touchdown throw to Gonzalez that was outstanding. Ryan and the Falcons dominated the first half and walked off the field with a 24-14 lead. They weren’t able to score any more points in the game and that cost them a trip to the Super Bowl.
Amazingly, the inexperienced Kaepernick was not phased by playing from behind in the NFC Championship game. The youngster had no problem keeping his poise with crowd noise off the charts and the Atlanta defense stacked up to stop him from running.
He operated like a seasoned playoff-tested quarterback because he stayed disciplined and focused. The young man made adjustments at the line of scrimmage before nearly every play.
First he analyzed what defense and coverage the Falcons were in, then he changed plays and moved his teammates into position before executing the plays to perfection. Kaepernick did this while the Georgia Dome crowd screamed to the top of their lungs and a national television audience sat and watched in amazement.
The Falcons defense came into the game with the intention of stopping Kaepernick from beating them with his legs and they were successful doing that because the young quarterback only ran for 21 yards on two carries. Surprisingly, the former Nevada quarterback beat Atlanta with his leadership, his mind, and his arm.
He handed the ball off to Frank Gore when he ran the read option, rather than keeping the ball and trying to get outside like he did last week against the Packers. The Falcons outside linebackers stayed outside to stop the quarterback from getting outside, but that opened up a lane for Gore and LaMichael James to gash them.
Atlanta’s secondary took wide receiver Michael Crabtree away from him for most of the day, but Kaepernick had no problem with that and simply got the ball to tight end Vernon Davis. The talented Pro Bowl tight end caught five passes for 106 yards and one touchdown.
Ryan made a couple of mistakes in the second half, which resulted in two turnovers which hurt the Falcons. After scoring 24 points in the first half, Atlanta wasn’t able to score a single point in the second half.

Sorrry fellas about keeping it real, but these mofos need to be exposed, early and often
Jake……….
You’re a dumb ass…
Kaepernick reminds me of Randall
Same long stride and speed and cannon for an arm
Luckily he has a great coach not like Ryan that Cunningham had
Just read the Eagles are looking at Ed Donatel the D Backs coach of the 49ers as their D Coord, he was the D Coord at one time for the Falcons and Packers, if that’s the case, he won’t be hired for another two weeks
Comparing foles to luck is ridiculous.
Statistically foles needs a full year.
I don’t think Foles is what Kelly is looking for.
Vick is too much money.
Look for a run heavy eagles squad with 2guys close to 2000 yards combined.
28 teams could use Colin……
The cloest thing to a QB fit for Chip’s system is EJ Manuel of FSU
He has been inconsistent in big games but is a project…..projected 3rd pick
EJ Manuel from Fka State is 6-4 240lbs with some raw, but great athletic talent
A big arm but not very fundamental in his mechanics at this stage
Get him with a good QB Coach (Shurmur) and this kid could be a good one
Has mobility, size and a NFL Arm, but struggles a bit under center and reading Defenses and with accuracy in the short/intermediate routes
He reminds me a bit of a Josh Freeman of the TB Bucs and would be a 2 year understudy but he has all the tools to become a good one under the right Coaching and system and would be a nice Pick in the 3rd Round
If he is still on the Board
He also comes up small in big games, he does not struggle reading defenses he is very smart and understands the game of football. He does struggle with decision making. Excellent size, excellent mobility. Is worthy of a third round pick. Tyler Wilson and Tyler Bray would be better options. EJ Manuel is a poor mans Taj Boyd.
Big, I agree, but if he’s still there in round 4, I’d take EJ. High upside, especially if he get’s with Shurmer.
Now TsJohnson likes Cousins better than Foles too? Why?
Look I made it clear I wanted the Eagles to draft Cousins as I had seen him several times at Mich stats. I didn’t know much about Foles.
But now I’ve seen him play in the pros and he was $$ for a rookie.
What is it you like about Cousins?
Was it his first appearance when he went 5 of 9 for 111 with 1td and 2 ints?
Must have been his “big game” in week 14 against an 11 loss Browns team that knew its entire coaching staff was going to be fired in 3 weeks?
I keep hearing that its silly to compare one QB to another over the first 6. It is not.
TSJohnson and other clowns just xcome in here spouting “__________ (usually Foles) is ass” ____________________ is better. Without anything to back up what they are saying.
Wilson and Kaepernick are great NOW. But they weren’t after there first few games. There was plenty of talking head chatter about the Seahawks making a mistake after Wislon’s struggles over the first 6 games. You couldn’t just tell he had “it”. They were struggling on o. He was leading them to an average of about 16 pts a game.
You do realize that the Wilson led offense scored less than 16 pts in 5 of his first 7 games. Did he have “it” then?? Was he a Superstar?
No.
He had a coaching staff and a fanbase that was patient with a young QB….something that seems like an alien idea to clowns like TSJohnson who think that QBs are either super or not in their firast 3 appearances.
How about when he came in cold and beat the Ravens, I like Cousins too but guess what Foles will probably start off as the QB here and we’ll see what happens. I do find it interesting that Foles went back home and has only spoken to Kelly by phone when paulman and others made a big deal about Djax living in Cali.
And now he brings up Andrew Luck….too funny.
The way you think about rookies, You’d have run him out of town by week 6 too TSJohnson.
Luck vs Foles
1st start:
Luck: 23 of 45 for 309 1 and 3….21 pts in a loss
Foles 21 of 46 for 204 0 and 2…scored 6 in a loss
Talk about garbage time….Luck threw for the vast majority of his yrds when down 41-14…”garbage time” where you say Foles got all his yards. About even. Both guys sucked.
2nd start
Luck 20 of 31 for 224 2 and 0….20 pts in a win
Foles 16 of 21 for 119 0 and 0…22 pts in a loss
Advantage Luck. Better numbers. Led team to a win
3rd start
Luck: 22 of 46 for 313 2 and 1…17 pts in a loss
Foles 22 of 34 for 251 1 and 0….33 points in a loss
Advantage Foles…better %, no turnovers, more pts. This is really weird because I thought Luck was a superstar right away. He lost 2 of his first 3 starts! That’s weird.
4th start
Luck: 33 of 51 for 362 2 and 1…30 pts in a win
Foles 32 of 51 for 381 2 and 0…score 23 in a win
Pretty fucking even here in the 4th start….who woulda thunk it? I though Foles was ASS and Luck a SUPERSTAR
5th start
22 of 44 for 280 0 and 2….9pts in a loss
Foles16 of 33 for 180 1 and 1….scored 13 in a loss
Pretty even…Luck more yrds, but also more turnovers…and 50%? Weird eh?
6th start
Luck 16 of 29 for 186 0 and 0….score 17 in a win
Foles 32 of 48 for 345 1 and 1….score 20 in a loss
Pretty pedestrian from Luck….Foles again with a better game and one TE drop from a potential win…with a broken hand…
So what do we see?
We see that When compared to Luck, or Wilson….Foles played almost identically, and in some cases better that both Wilson and Luck….though according to some “tete carres” on this board….2 are GREAT, and one sucks ass.
Need I mention Foles performed just as well as they did….and much better than his predecessor….with an inferior team (vastly inferior when looking at Seattle)
Yet so many here so quick to dismiss FOles. “HE NEEDS COMPETITION”
Would you have said the same if you were Seattle fan (well actuallly they were). Would you have given the same leway?
Give the kid a break…..he has moxie. He’ll be fine.
Colts Hire O/C Pep Hamilton from Stanford who Coached adn Help Developed
Luck during his Stanford Days since Bruce Arians took the Cardinals HC Position
Another Great Hire by COlts GM Ryan Grigson who sure has been part of putting together and rebuilding the COlts Organization since the Dungy/Polian Days.. Colts had 6 Rookie Starters on Offense alone from last years Draft and now with a Healthy HC Chuck Pagano back and able to work full-time, I expect him to focus on the Defense in this Draft and get bigger up fraont with DT,LB and Safeties.. This COlt Team will be a contendor for the next 10 Years and lite years ahead of where they were just a season or 2 ago so a Rebuid Effort can be succesful with the Right People leading it.. All the Eagles and Chip Kelly have to do is look at what the Colts did last year and how Pete Carroll how reshaped/rebuild the Seahawks in a short period of time also.. The Key is to strip away the dead weight (yes this will mean cutting the chord with some popular veteran players) but to form a new identity and philosophy, change has to occur.. A new HC needs to have his players, his kind of people running the day to day activities and needs a 100% buy-in and committment from the Players and the Eagles probably have 10-12 Veteran Players that I am not so sure can completely buy into another system for they have become too comfortable/coddled under Andy Reid and probably don’t have the energy/passion and the sense of urgency that Chip Kelly is looking for and will demand…
EJ Manuel throws the ball like Tim Tebow, with a big hitch in his delivery.
I understand the Eagles met with EJ Manuel at the Senior Bowl in Mobile, Ala. this past weekend. I hope Chip don’t like him or he could be an Eagle.
Regarding Foles….Vinnie and others use terms like “great job for a rookie”, “give him time, he could produce like a Brady”, “his rookie numbers are just as good as some hall of fame QB’s when they were rookies”….true…….
Optimism is great, but the fact of the matter is how many other rookies or even 2nd, 3rd year players who got their first NFL starts, had similar numbers and didn’t work out? A much higher number than those who were successful, guaranteed.
You have a guy like Vinnie who is driven to try and make his point by comparing Foles stats as a rookie, in which he doesn’t consider the full spectrum and consider all the odds/percentages of all NFL QB’s in history. He cherry picks the information just to prove his point. (By comparing HOF QB’s and not the bust QB’s, is cherry picking information)
Then you have this dumb ass Jake, who goes on a “black athlete” rant once a month, having the audacity to call cats racist because they oppose Foles. Very close minded thinking, it has nothing to do, with color, its the same reason you guys crown Foles or like Foles, just the other side of the coin. You take the stats and compare to HOF QB’s, some see the stats and compare to a Charlie Frye, Rex Grossman, Byron Leftwich, list goes on….
Agreed Real Talk
real talk….. yes yes yes.
Point is….. let the coach pick the QB… Foles, Vick, guy not on the roster.
Gregg Williams has been freed to pursue coaching jobs by Roger Goodell.
I hope the Eagles don’t look at him…
Gregg Williams was Reinstated 2 Weeks ago and then had to be Terminated by teh ST Louis Rams (since he was technically under Contract to them from a signed 3 Year Deal signed last Year when Jeff Fisher took over)
The Rams have terminated his Contract (probably some sort of settlement) and now Williams is a “Free-Agent” and available to land on any Team
I would not be surprised f CHip Kelly does talk with him..
Williams may be a hot wire and a little rough around the edges, but the man is a super aggressive Coach who is all about putting Pressure on Offense’s and Opposing QB’s.. Maybe he can be in some type of Support Role or Defensive Advisor for he does has a wealth of Experience and Knowledge though he does have some baggage…
On another note, I love watching the Ravens defense. Fast/hard hitting bunch. We need players that look to hit instead of simply take a player down. I want to see a defense that makes the offense pay for catching a pass or running the ball. When you think about it, the only hard hits we seen from this Eagles team came on personal fouls, defenseless receiver hits.
“Because I’m hard hittin’, always bitten, cool as hell,
I got the tree on my mirror so my car won’t smell.”
That’s why dink and dunk passing attacks aren’t winning it all realtalk because real defenses punish those crossing routes with hard hitting LB’s and safeties.
Irish – dont compare EJ to Tebow…come on man! EJ has a rocket arm and can throw it 60 yards in the air easily… and is accurate
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2v8OOY7AHRE
I am not saying he is the next franchise QB, but he has all the tools be a good one… check out the video above…shows all his assets
LOL
I am comparing Foles to luck and Wilson and they’re from the same draft class. And while they compare out very favourably….though some people on here think those 2 are superstars and Foles is a bum
I compare Foles to other very successful QBs because, again, his performance grades out very favourably compared to them.
I think this is a very POSITIVE thing…
While guys like Gongs, and Realtalk, and TSjohnson do nothing but try to rip it apart because they hate Foles because he took their hero’s job away.
Look at Realtalk…trying to associate Foles with scrubs like Frye and Grossman.
But to humour you – here goes
First the first 6 starts….and then starts 3-6 to see if they were improving after a couple of mulligans…..
Foles
Total:
136 of 233 (60%) for 1480 (246/game) 5 and 4..117pts…19.5/game
Games 3-6
102 of 166 (61%) for (1157 289/game) 5 and 2….89pts…22.5/game
Improving. 22.5/game. Over 60% comp%….289 yrds/game?? really??strong td/int ratio
Frye
Total
108 of 179 (60%) for 1076 (179/game) 5 and 5….78 pts….13pts/game
Games 3-6
79 of 135 (59%) for 712 (178/game)….2 and 4….44 pts…11 pts/game
Regressing a bit in %, td/int ratio….this guy’s #s cannot even remotely be compared to Foles…less yrds, less points…more picks
Grossman (chuckle)
88 of 160 (55%) for 1106 ((184/game) 3tds and 5 ints….115pts…19/game
Games 3-6
56 of 100 (56%) for 700 (175/game) 1td and 4 ints….75 pts…19/game
More regression…can’t get over 60%, td int ratio bad, 175 yrds/game??? less points, less tds, more ints
Leftwich
total
109 of 189 (58%) for 1368 (228/game) …5tds and 9 ints…119 pts…20/game
Games 3-6
73 of 125 (58%) for 801 (200/game)…3 tds and 6 ints…72 pts…18/game
Regression in yrds/game…td/int ratio…pts game….less yrds, less tds…triple the picks…
So here are 3 guys…all with inferior metrics to Foles….and all who REGRESSED as the games went along.
Meanwhile…Foles Improved as he gained experience.
But according to Realtalk…..Foles is the same as these guys. He’s going to wash out like them.
And one last thing…all these guy had the same or more Ints than Foles with aabout 1/3 the amounts….all their INT %s are much, much higher than Foles is.
If taking what I said and comprehending it as “Foles is the same as a Leftwich, Grossman, Frye” I guess when you compare Foles to a HOF QB, you are saying Foles is the same as Brady, Manning etc….correct? Again, two sides to the coin, sis….
I’m not saying they are the same. I’m saying their results/stats are similar.
I think this is very positive, but I do not say it means he will be a HOF QB. Just that it is very, very encouraging, and is why he will be the starting QB for next season to see if he continues to improve.
It is just during these playoffs that I have noticed the refs allowing defenders to jamb receivers, and grab with their hands at the line of scrimmage. And they have also allowed contact well beyond 5 yards down field.
That is a big part of the reason the Ravens won that game – the Patriots receivers couldn’t get into their routes.
I’ve noticed the same thing Irish,
Once Playoffs come around the ticky-tack holding,clutching,pushing Fouls and Penalty Calls go by the way side and Refs allow them to play more old-school.. The Teamsa nad Defenses that adjust and take advantage of this tend to do better with an agressive Secondary as we have seen the Ravens and 49ers play with these Playoffs just like the Packers,Giants,and even the Saints were during their Super Bowl Run.. If Refs are going to allow it,
Defenders will push the envelop and clutch,grab,hold even more .. It’s up to the Recivers to adjust their Games and Rroutes which is why you rarely see a Team with Soft,Wussy Receivers (like the Eagles) ever win a Championship.. Indy Colts and Peyton Manning would complain every post Playoff loss how their Receivrs (Harrison,Stokely & Wayne) were getting manhandled by teh Patriots/Steelers every year..
Just like the Panthers and TB Bucs Secondaries man-handled the Eagles Receivers during the early 2000′s ..
Vinnie?
Which is the better QB?
Kap or Ryan?
I’d take Kapernick becaue Ryan has a bit of the choke in him.
But I’m not going to buy his jersey like you are…he plays for another team.
I care about the eagles’ Qbs and I find it weird that we have a young one showing a lot of promise.
In fact showing more promise than any rookie Qb since McNabb….and in some ways a lot better than McNabb – though obviously McNabb had him beat on the athleticism.
Yet despite the promise….he’s ASS to you. You would rather wear a VickGriffinWilsonKaepernick jersey.
Vinnie,
Songs is an ass.
He has been switching his allegiance from one team to the next as they fall from the playoffs. One thing that all the teams he favors have in common is a black QB… Which is fine… if he wants to support black QBs in the NFL there’s nothing wrong with that.
What I find comical is that Songs bitches and moans that the Eagles hired a gimmick coach. He remarks that the organization is doomed by an owner that wants to outsmart the rest of the league.
Here’s the funny part…. all of those black QBs that Songs loves – they play in the zone/read (gimmick) offense that the Eagles new coach developed. Songs totally ignores that fact.
Agreed.
Folks, our next franchise QB is going to be EJ Manuel after we draft him in the second round with a choice that many will call “surprising” and a “bit of a reach”.
Word from EJ Manuel’s future Agent to be, he doesn’t want to come to the Eagles.. He thinks his Career will be in jeopardy if Drafted by GM Roseman..
Says he doesn’t like Roseman personally and thinks he’s a Fantasy GM and is also not sure how long Chip Kelly will remain in Philly as their Coach since the runor is already out that Kelly is the hand-chosen pick of Owner Robert Kraft to take over the Patriots once Belechek Retires which many insiders have stated that will be sooner than many think (1-2 Years Tops)..
EJ Manuel’s Agent says he wants to go to KC and play for Andy Reid ..
You are an idiot.
And Chip Kelly’s contract is 5 years — so unless Lurie fires him, that ain’t happening.
Lurie is close,personal freinds of Patriots Owner Robert Kraft..
If Kraft wants Kelly at Belecheck Retires at the end of 2014. Then Kraft & Lurie will work it out.. It’s what wealthy Billionaire Friend’s do for each other.. Eagles could even get some high Draft Picks in Return so not really a bad deal as far as the Eagles go..
Irish…I mean Schill…oh, my fault
Navy.
Hell with your definition of allegiance.
When will the Eagles brass show there allegiance to their loyal fan base that have supported the team for decades?
They don’t deserve allegiance..and now I understand why so many people who have grown up following Eagles eventually turn on them and follow the real winning organizations.
You may call it front running…..but it’s more like rebellion against a losing culture.
I’ve been loyal to this pathetic organization for 3 decades boy,and now viewing with objectivity opposed to rabid fandom.
So, get outta here….You damn real I’m off the ship and will expose these shekel grabbing owners for what they are.
Settle down Benedict.
“shekel grabbing”???????????????????????
Fucking pathetic.
And I get labeled a bigot around here.
I didn’t choose to root for the Eagles, the Eagles chose me. I’m not a fan because I want to be, I’m a fan because I have to be. It’s in my blood. They represent my city and where I’m from and what I’m about.
Are you from Philly?
Songs, you don’t know anything about how successful Chip Kelly will be next year. None of us do. None of us know crap about how successful any of the new coaches would be. All of them are taking a leap.
If that hire is the last straw, then so be it, don’t let the door hit ya. If it wasn’t Kelly it would have been something that you would whine and complain about.
As far as this weak statement: .”You damn real I’m off the ship and will expose these shekel grabbing owners for what they are.”
Kelly’s deal is 5 for 32.5 which averages to the 6th highest paid coach in the NFL (per last year’s salaries). Really pinching pennies there
Go back under your bridge troll.
@real talk, get your facts straight, I do not go on a rant once a month, that’s the old days, its now more like once a week, a backlash against some of the most stupid, biased commentary that can only be explained by hatred, its probably vanity as in pointless, but I feel better afterward, you dig?
“Irish…I mean Schill…oh, my fault
Navy.”
So I’m guessing that this ^ means that you think I am someone else who once posted on these boards.
I can tell you that I have never posted here under any other name…. You can believe that, or not. It makes absolutely no difference to me. lol
Fla State QB EJ Manuel says he met with Chip Kelly last night, had a great conversation.
EJ Manuel says he knows exactly what Kelly wants to do in the NFL and fits it perfectly.
EJ Manuel said Kelly recruited him to Oregon and he wanted to go but is from Va. and Oregon was too far.
EJ Manuel is from my hometown down in Va Beach.
Im confused. We have the QB of the future in Nick Foles. Why is Kelly talking to QBs at senior bowl?
Due diligence.
LoL yeah thats it.
I LOVE IT! MY PICK! EJ MANUEL!
I’m telling ya fellas, thats our next franchise QB. And Chip will mold him into the perfect QB for his offense. Second round pick. You heard it here first.
I’ve seen EJ play a few times and he really doesn’t impress me. In college, Russel Wilson looked so much better.
He is a student of the game but in big games he played small. Great arm good mobility.
EJ Manuel has terrible mechanics, and a slow delivery. I hope we don’t get him. He can’t beat out Foles.
If Kelly doesn’t like Foles, we should try to get someone else. There are others that would be better – Geno Smith for one.
If we keep Vick, EJ will probably be a high target.
Irish — Kelly obviously wants a QB with some sort of speed. I don’t see that being Foles nor Geno.
Birdie, how do you know what Kelly wants?
By looking at the type of system he ran in college and the players he attempted to recruit — the ONLY clue we have as to what he “wants” or “likes”.
Birdo, to think Kelly is going to come into the NFL and run his Oregon offense is a bit misguided. Kelly is viewed as an innovator and I don’t think he’s stupid enough to try and run a pure read option system here. If he did, I’m not so sure Manuel is the pro typical guy for it.
btc — not saying he would. Just going by the types of players Kelly likes. A QB that can run as well as throw opens up so much more. Just ask Jim Harbaugh.
No question about it…
Im hearing that Ed Donatel could be the Eagles DC but obviously they can’t make it official bc hes apart of the 49ers coaching staff. But many believe the Eagles already have there DC whether its Donatel or someone else
Ed Donatello is an excellent Coach and Soecializes with the Secondary and would be an excellent Hire in my opinion
I had him on a list of Coaches to Interview for the HC Position along with their Special Teams Coach, Brad Seely.. If they have a shot at one or both of these guys would be great news in my opinion, both experienced and quality guys besides being great Coaches
The only thing I have to say about Donatello is 4th and 26!!!!
Donatello?!?!? Is he a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?!? Big, it’s Donatell. ROFLMFBO!!!!
Based on what Kelly said, I disagree, but that’s what makes this web site roll, time will tell
Howie Roseman met with Vicks agent today. Lines of communication are open. Hes coming back folks. MV7!
The reason for the meeting was not disclosed. He might have been informing Vick that he wont be retained.
Birdo…if they renegotiate with Vick and there’s hope…but the QB means nothing if they don’t replace those lineman masquerading as human turnstiles
I offer Vick a Deal
A new 2 Year Deal for $ 7 Million in 2013 and $9 Million Salary
And he gets his $3 Million Roster Bouns next and Give him 2 weeks to consider or cut the chord and move on..
WTF? Is this the same Paulman? LOL
Relax all Vick isnt coming back. The starting QB for next year will be selected in this years draft.
I doubt they keep Vick. i doubt Vick wants to stay. And I agree – they are drafting a QB – EJ Manuel possibly – Foles is gonna be Edwards and Edwards will be third.
Seriously I think they draft a guy – have’em duke it out in the pre-season adn may the best young quarterback win.
I would move on from Vick just the same as we moved on from Reid.
Who needs a 33 year-old, injury prone, running quarterback who makes $15.5 million, when you can draft a younger, taller version in the 3rd round and pay him a fraction of that amount…
Potential Breaking News***

Remember that you potentially read it here first…
Maybe bringing in Donatello also bring in Dashon Goldson? Just a thought…Goldson is not the best safety in the league by he is HOF compared to any of the guys we have now…A safety tandem of Goldon and Matt Elam would be a nice improvement IMO
It’s Donatell. LOL! After seeing Goldson being sun-burnt all game this week, no thanks. Give me Jairius Byrd, all day, any day. Hopefully Buffalo don’t franchise him! It’s very rare that a safety gets franchised. Don’t know if it has ever happened?
Julio Jones and Roddy White could burn any safety in the league. Jairius Byrd included…
Like I said it would be a drastic improvement from what we got now. Alex Henery can hit harder than Nate Allen.
I would love Byrd to come here too tho…I just think Buffalo finds a way to keep him.
