    I think if he does turn out to be good, which I think he will, he will be a little bit of both. Laid back but constantly shoved into the spotlight.

    No - because he's a QB, the bar is much lower. If he's... Andy Dalton good - and the team is winning - he'll be everywhere. His college pedigree and good-looks are going to make him a focal point over the summer. If he delivers - especially as a rookie..... lights out.

    I would be delighted if he is Andy Dalton good as long as he doesn't Andy Dalton the playoffs.

    Mariota has actually outperformed Winston and Carr individually.

    Yeah; I'll never understand that and it's why I mostly dismiss 99.9% of the "inside" rumor mongering that's happened throughout the past year. If BOB all along preferred Savage, and was absent all the Osweiler discussion/decision, why wouldn't he shove a giant FU down ownership's throat by starting Savage and beating the Patriots*?

    * please don't respond with some wonky tin-foil hat idea that he played Osweiler to prove what a fraud he was; no NFL head coach would jeopardize their professional careers by purposefully playing inferior players.

    That's right, I never bought all the rumor mongering that BOB preferred Savage and Osweiler was shoved down his throat.

    OBrien simply picked Brock to start.

    Awesome moment showing Watson the moment he found out he was going to be a Texan. He almost jumped out of his chair.

    Wow surprised TJ is helping him, since he is under contract with the Bills.

    I guess it must be the Georgia connection.
