June 24, 201312 yr comment_6116 I'm going over. He started a bunch in 2011 - hopefully he can recreate some of that success this year.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6131 I like the over. I think Pierce will put a little more effort into protecting himself this season
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6137 This over/under thing... I dunno. It's a guy's career we're talking about here. I don't wish an injury on anyone. Except Adriano Belli. Hope he slips in the shower.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6139 I like the over. I think Pierce will put a little more effort into protecting himself this season I don't think so. he put himself in harms way in just 3 snaps in pre-season game 1
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6153 over. im thinking a return to 2011 form.. -looks stronger, has more muscle -o line will be better plus protection packages -rb that can block
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6156 I thought the over/under would be more like 3 not 9. Baby steps, people.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6160 I can't understand why people choose to deal in this type of ridiculous speculation. To say there is an historical or statistical foundation to this has no mathematical or logical basis to it. I wonder how many people would choose to "guess" if they had to put money on the line?

You could say the same about guessing who will win a game or the cup. In the world you live the only mathematical certainty is that you will live a very lonely sad life lol. The only mathematical guarantee in the the world is the percentage of success using sex panther!

To say there is an historical or statistical foundation to this has no mathematical or logical basis to it. I wonder how many people would choose to "guess" if they had to put money on the line? For fun? To spur on discussion? Why does there have to be a reason, professor?
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6188 I don't think so. he put himself in harms way in just 3 snaps in pre-season game 1 Ha! Good point. I'm always an optimist at the beginning of the season, I guess that's showing through here
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6191 I don't wish harm on the guy, but he's playing Pro Football and he knows he's prone to injury. Also...guys on other teams are specifically hunting him down. Unless the refs smarten up, I say under.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6198 You know what, I am less concerned with how many games Pierce plays so much as I am concerned with how well he can play these days,
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6257 There's another factor here. If he suffers a relatively major injury and the season goes south while he's gone (actually if it goes north too) they might not go back to him when he's healthy again. Let's say he's ready to come back from his latest major injury for Game 14 and the team is 4-9 at the time they may decide to move on and haver a longer look at whoever the saviour of the day is by then. Or I suppose to be positive they could be 9-4 with Goltz leading the way and they decide to stick with Justin. So the better question would be over/under how many games till he misses a start? I say 4.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6318 Starts? I will go out on a limb and say.... 14 The real question is how many does he finish. Really hoping he is 100% on his start/finish %.
June 24, 201312 yr Author comment_6334 You know what, I am less concerned with how many games Pierce plays so much as I am concerned with how well he can play these days, Do you think he will suffer from the Kevin Glenn effect where after he takes a big hit.... it takes him 2 - 3 quarters to calm down and play normal ball?
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6354 Do you think he will suffer from the Kevin Glenn effect where after he takes a big hit.... it takes him 2 - 3 quarters to calm down and play normal ball? No I think that a Buck Pierce that's told to be a pocket passer is not as good a qb as the Buck Pierce who would pull the ball down and run head long into a defense, often picking up huge yards. He was at his best when he was a threat to run, I am not sure he is a strong enough pure passer to make a go of it playing entirely from the pocket.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6357 You know what, I am less concerned with how many games Pierce plays so much as I am concerned with how well he can play these days, me too. We'll see if he survives the first game of the year against Toronto and their uber-****** methodology of deliberately head-hunting Buck with late hits, knowing their butt-boy Murray Clark is just going to stand there watching and not throw a flag, and of course, Cohon isn't going to suspend anybody.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6358 No I think that a Buck Pierce that's told to be a pocket passer is not as good a qb as the Buck Pierce who would pull the ball down and run head long into a defense, often picking up huge yards. He was at his best when he was a threat to run, I am not sure he is a strong enough pure passer to make a go of it playing entirely from the pocket. well a qb who isnt a threat to run can still run and get big yardage.. ac comes to mind.. but i tend to agree, pierce.has not shown well as a pocket passer qb. hopefully its been more crappy offenses then it has been crappy qb play..

Calvillo was never a runner, he always made his mark passing first. Pierce though is a totally different animal and I'm skeptical that he can make that transition.
June 24, 201312 yr comment_6365 me too. We'll see if he survives the first game of the year against Toronto and their uber-****** methodology of deliberately head-hunting Buck with late hits, knowing their butt-boy Murray Clark is just going to stand there watching and not throw a flag, and of course, Cohon isn't going to suspend anybody. you figure Buck will be available to play against us in week 4? interesting...
June 25, 201312 yr comment_6374 I know its only five reps but it sure doesn't seem like he's learned to read quicker or for that matter, choose the dump pass to Simpson over 'dive head first' and then jump up to pretend I'm not hurt option. I'd say a better 'over-under' would be... Max Hall starting - 9 games I call 'under'.
