Dave Caldwell SHOULD be the guy. He was at INDY with Polian. He was there and watched how Polian built the Colts from a loser into a perennial winner. Then when Dimitrof got hired in ATL one of his first moves was to bring Caldwell onto his staff. Dave Caldwell has watched and been a part of changing the culture of two franchise. Helping build them from losers into winners!! I know Dave and have spoken with him about the Bills job back when Nix got it. At that point timing was not right for him. Dave needed more time. Dimitrof has been helping him learn and i think now is the time to give a good young guy his shot!! He is also a Buffalo boy and would love nothing more then to bring a winner back to the Bills!!! Trust me this is exactly the kind of guy we should be hoping to land.

God i hope this would happen.

Bill Polian is brought in to over see football operations. He hires Dave Caldwell to be GM. Lets Dave Hire his HC. Then the HC puts his staff together. I want guys who have experience being part of franchise that have turned around losing teams. B Polian and Caldwell accomplish that!

How many taxpayers are there in Erie County? Honest question. And i do not believe you pay your share all at once on the upcoming tax year. So it would be amortized out over the 7 or 10 years, i think. I am sure some one on here is an accountant and could provide some insight into this. Thanks

I like what Andy Reid did in Philly with Foles. Chan and the Bills should have done the same thing with TJax at the bye. Think about it- IF TJax had come in and provided a spark and the Bills went on a streak Chan saves his job. Chan would have bought himself another year and we as fans would have thought maybe we got a qb for a year or two till we find a long term answer. Chans stubborness to stick with Fitz cost him his job- i hope!

Russ is what he is, a MARKETING GUY. The mistake was when Ralph Wilson had him as head of football operations a few years back with no GM in place. Russ is not a personel guy. He is very good at finding ways to promote the team and try to build the brand of Buffalo Bills Football. He is not the problem really. If anything he is being asked by Mr Wilson to go above and beyond his area of expertise. That is not Russ' fault. Mr Wilson needs to bring in a competent football person to run the football side of things. this person would work in conjunction with Russ on moves and things the team was making. Thus giving Russ a product to sell. Just my take on it

If the Bills played any of those five teams they lose to everyone of them. I know the Bills beat a couple of them already, but after yesterdays 'give up' performance not sure the Bills could beat anyone. Maybe the Giants, they seem to have given up too.

I have to say i agree with the fact that coaching is the issue or the scheme the KW play. If your telling me he looks good on one day and bad on another, think about it? The scheme may have changed or lack there of one. Williams to me is best suited to move around a lot. He needs to work gaps between gaurds and center or gaurds and tackles. The game when Wanny kept lining KW and Marcel up directly over the center was genius. Unfortunately like so many things Wanny abandons it too quickly or does not use it enough at the right times

No way does that happen. I do not like Fitz as a starter. I have said that since day one. But he has proven he can play and win games in the NFL. Their will be plenty of teams out there willing to give Fitz a nice deal as a back up. QB is by far the most important position in the NFL. GM's and Coaches all know this. Unfortunately Fitz can not come back to Buffalo in a reduced role as a back up. It just would not work. Demotions are never received well and the Bills do not need that headache. Cut ties and move on.

I like bringing Polian back to Buffalo but in the role as President of Football Operations. I would then like to see him bring in Dave Caldwell from Atlanta as his GM. Caldwell is currently head of College scouting in Atlanta and worked with Polian in Indy in the late 90's till he left to come to Atlanta with Dimitrof. Caldwell is from the Buffalo area. He has watched two Franchise turn around from losers to perenial playoff teams. yes in both cases a QB helped do that. Ryan was not picked number one overall but chosen number 3. Dave and Polian have worked together before. Both guys have extensive and proven knowledge of picking the right QB to lead a franchise. To me if the Bills get the right QB in the next draft, things get a lot better real quick.

Wow! So he is a jerk and an idiot. That is a deadly combination. From what i have heard and read about Mitchell he was not a nice guy. He was still a team mate. To me this also speaks about the atmosphere of the Lions organization at the time. I do not care how bad you dislike a team mate he is still your team mate. If you do not agree with him playing say so. But to take matters into your hands and cause an injury to occur speaks to your character. Brown deserves to be ostracized by the league. I just read that he was an assistant coach for a High School. I would not want that guy any where near my kid! Talk about a horrible role model.

Chan did the same thing at Tech with Reggie Ball. Started him for four years because he showed flashes of doing well. Unfortunately Chan seems to see ONLY the positives when it comes to his QB. It is like those couple of games early on last season sealed the deal for Chan.

See, you like do like the little guys too! Just kidding I agree with your list Bill. I would like to see Moore brought back too. Not sure his asking price will be too high for the Bills. I think we as fans have been conditioned to watching sub par play from our DE's over the years. Moore has had a solid to good year. As others have mentioned he has been cut by many teams, and having one decent year should not command a huge salary. Teams are getting smarter and wiser to this. The play for a contract player has bitten every team in the league once or twice. I like some of the other guys on the list like Nelson and McIntyre, but for the right price. Not sure what Spencer Johnson will get but he provides decent depth on Dline too. Levitre and Byrd are the biggest ones obviously. Other then that we are talking about rotational/depth guys. They are out there, every team has them and will be in the same boat as the Bills trying to sign them.

That San Fran game is the only one i question. I can see your point, the momentum swung heavily with Chans poor decision to come out throwing just before half and Fitz's poor execution that led to the int. That sealed the game. But i agree every other game was very winable IF the Bills had a competent QB that knew when to make passes and when not too. The entire team would be better.

Skins are not going to Trade Cousins for anything less the a first. they know they have a quality back up under his rookie contract for the next 3 seasons. he signed a 4 year $2.75 mil contract. Look for them to wait another year and pull a Matt Schuab deal. They will showcase him here and there or use him if RGIII is even a bit dinged up.

Exactly. If you claim the winnings and pay taxes on them then you are a lot less likely to get in big trouble. Not saying it is exactly legal, but if the government gets its money they will sometimes look the other way.

How long have you been watching the Bills' moves? This is exactly the type of logic that has us at the longest playoff drought in the NFL

If this happens remember the name Dave Caldwell. He worked with Polian in Indy and is head of college scouting in Atl. Dave is a Buffalo boy. Would like to see Polian as head of operations and Caldwell as GM. Caldwell has been a part of turning around two franchise in Indy and Atl. Just the kind of guy the Bills need!!

What about Jarvis Jones with the first pick, he should be there when the Bills pick in the First. Then take Murray by trading back up into the mid to late first. I am not sure he will be there in the second. Look at two years ago. A lot of teams started grabbing QB's in the first. Seems to me like a similar type of QB class this year to the one from 2011. Not one QB does not have some type of 'question' about him. Even Cam coming out had questions about his character and football IQ to read Defenses. Murray looks very talented and has been playing in a pro style offense at UGA. The only question i have is his ability to keep developing. I think he can. Take him let him sit and develope under Fitz or another Vet. Kind of like the Giants did with Eli in 2004 behind Warner.

Offer the same picks as Redskins did, even sweeten it with an additional pick to make up for Buffalo being a few spots back. Rams believed they had their qb. If Buffalo had given them their first for the next three years and their second this year and next as well.Maybe the deal gets done? Heck even throw a third rounder in from this year. Rams wanted picks to build around Bradford. As the Bills have shown 2nd and third rounders, heck even first rounders are not a sure bet!! Instead Buffalo sat pat, now a year later they want a qb and it is probably the worse qb draft in the past 10+ years. Perfect timing!!

I have stood up for Buddy as long as i can. The Bills are a year late in drafting a QB. They could have gone after RGIII last year. We knew last year that Fitz was Fitz. I do not want to hear all the 'rib injury' b.s. The guy is who he is. Now we have a weak QB class coming out and of course this is when the Bills decide to get a QB?! Perfect! I am so tired of our ownership down to our little person trainer!! I am more tired of liking the Bills. I can not stop and won't stop, but it is guys like this that make me hate that i love this team. Nix will make his millions of dollars being a GM, when most of us on here could have done the same thing he did, given information he has. Then Nix will go back to his house in Tenn and sit around and care none the less about Buffalo! I wish Ralph would send down his jet to Atl and get Dave Caldwell as the Bills new GM. Then give Dave 4 years with zero meddling! I guarantee the Bills would be in the playoffs in 3 years and for many years after that!!!

Will you take me with you next year when your the back up for Manning in Denver?!!

If you wouldnt take Cutler over Fitzcraprick your nuts!! Cutler is not great but the guy can play QB, Fitz is terrible. I wish it wasn't so, but it is!!

Fitz is a BACK UP. You guys who think he is a starter what the heck more do you have to see???? We as Bills fans got to watch what a QB can do for an entire team. Luck has taken Indy from 2-14 to 9-4 in one season!!! Sorry guys but until the Bills get with the program and get a STARTING caliber QB we will see the same thing every year!! There is one or two in this draft, there just is! Odds and history show it!! The Bills have to find him and draft him at all costs!! The reason the Bills almost won that game was because of the D! IF the 'outstanding' Fitz could have put together some type of a drive in the fourth quarter on any of the Bills last 3 possesions, Bills WIN!! Mind boggeling people still want to stay with Fitz!! You are the guys Ralph, Nix, and Chan love!!!
