    Drew Brees, Eli Manning and Phillip Rivers haven't gone two games in a row without a turn over this year either.
    A new year, a new hope, go Bills.

    good job, as a Bills fan you know when it happens to the Bills, have you been recording it with every other team?

    I don't really see any leadership qualties, but I do like the fact that he'll take a hit to get extra yardage.

    no I just don't pretend that they don't happen to other teams. Or maybe you didn't notice when it happened twice, to Arizona when we played them?

    Moving the goalposts, and hyperbole.

    That's an example of leadership by example. He called out Spikes, has played hurt, etc. Have you ever heard anything from players that would give you that idea? Or is it just that you don't like him being the starter?

    I like that I use facts and that you use your opinion. Its like arguing with a Christian or a Republican.

    If it makes you feel any better, I think Phillip Rivers is a horrible leader.

    who cares about other teams? our team is the only one that will probably be 13 years of no playoffs.

    I agree 100%. I think a lot of people are confusing what is is to be a "leader", and what it is to be a "winner".

    Hmm....
    Get that ESPN bull**** out of here, not that QB rating is any more of a reliable stat.

    The best way to judge a QB is their YPA combined with their completion percentage.
    Wake me up when football season starts.

    Fitz isn't awesome, but he's not as awful as everyone makes him out to be. His completion percentage isn't bad, but his YPA is very telling on why that's so high. Still, he's not the worst QB in the NFL.
