Two Bad Ideas

Two interesting NFL-related stories today, both of which are really bad ideas.

First off, the new administration in Buffalo wants Fitzpatrick to start over Edwards at QB. Yes, Fitzpatrick has a win and was largely responsible for another, but he's not the long-term answer. Edwards still could be. The season is a wash for Buffalo at this point, with double-digit losses to be expected. Edwards was what, 7-7 as a starter last year? This year the team has had offensive line issues galore, running back problems, and hasn't been able to capitalize on what they did last year. If Perry Fewell thinks Fitzpatrick is his best option at QB, then he won't be around long enough to make a difference. I'm certainly no Bills fan, but I that doesn't mean I'm not going to point out when they decide to do something stupid.

In other news, Mangini thinks LeBron should come try out for the Browns. Well, it's not like he could make it any worse. With his size and reach, maybe it's not a bad idea...he should be more effective than their current options at receiver given the QBs inaccuracies behind center. But seriously, this is just Mangini trying to curry favor in Cleveland and save his job for the time being. Besides, given the state of pro sports in Cleveland and the fact that the Cavs never seem to make the right moves to build around LeBron, he's not going ot be in Cleveland for much longer anyway.
