QB Bills

i'd say his status is rocky at best...he's going to need a good camp to put him over the top

Keep the bashing coming. It appears as though many of you haven't actually watched McCoy play, but are just going by the stat sheet. The guy is good, but has been very fortunate throughout his time in Philly. He's had the benefit of having one of the best o-lines as well as some of the best offensive coaching in the league throughout his career. Look at how any of the backups have done while he's been there...Brown, Sproles, etc. And not to mention, he's got quite a bit of mileage on him now. As for Fred, he's never had a good o-line despite what the genius upthread is saying. In terms of offensive acumen, Gailey is the only decent coach he's had. Compared to Andy Reid and Chip Kelly, what he's dealt with is laughable. He outplayed Lynch while he was here, who is now considered one of the best in the league. He outplayed Spiller. And he will now outplay the latest hotshot here to take his job. McCoy had the luxury of running through gaping holes and getting to the second level where he did most of his damage while in Philly. He will not have that here. I hope he does well, but I'm just warning many of you to temper your enthusiasm. You may have the same gripes with McCoy as you did with Spiller. Too much dancing behind the line and not enough powering through. Whereas someone like Fred knows when to put his head down and drive into a tackler, but is also elite at making the first guy miss. Not to mention he's a better blocker and receiver too. No, he doesn't have the top end speed as some, but he never has. That's not his game. As for him losing a step or whatever, please keep in mind that he has less career carries than McCoy. A fact easily overlooked by the resident ageists on the board. The running game will be improved with Roman and Kromer here now, and the biggest beneficiary will be Fred.

He's still the best RB on the roster. It sounds crazy to say that now, but you'll see midway through the season when he's outplaying mccoy.

Without a franchise QB, that becomes almost impossible.

FFS! Another thread about the Patriots???? Can a mod just combine all of them? Is it really necessary to have over 50% of the topics on the main page be about another football team?? This is all over the internet anyway. How about some Bills talk?

Robey should be cb3. That guy is a playmaker.

It's really kind of pathetic at how much Patriots talk there is on this message board. Look at the list of topics on the first page of this forum. I know it's relatively big news, and there's kind of a lull in Bills land right now, but still. This is overboard. Yes, they've been dominating the division for too long. And yes, they've done some shady things. But keep in mind that even if the Bills had been undefeated against them for the last 15 years, we'd have only made the playoffs once or twice in that time anyway.

so weird...i was going to post this exact msg word for word...what are the odds??

If this does happen, the best part is that it is officially part of his legacy. Of course there was conjecture before, but this is something that will directly stick to him. I don't hate him as much as many on this board, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't taking pleasure in all of this.

He'll be unseated by Garoppolo and then we'll trade a first round pick for him in the off-season. He'll have some big games in the first half of 2016. Some nice deep bombs to Peerless Price, probably. But then other teams will catch on and just blitz on every play and we'll miss the playoffs.

The run offense will be most effective out of the spread for the most part. The way Chan used to do it. They don't have much of a choice with the crappy QBs and shaky o-line at their disposal. I hope Roman doesn't try to fit his scheme to the players, but rather the other way around. The Bills have three really good receivers and should have all of them on the field as much as possible. Along with lining Clay up wide from time to time.

I hope he does well on the field, but this guy really is an idiot.

....too easy

Because he sucks.

These guys shouldn't be allowed out unless Freddie is with them

Stevie Miss that guy's personality. Hope he tears it up in San Diego.

Sign this guy! Nobody will be able to make a field goal against us next year if Megahand is in there.

Deepest? CB Deepest as in we are in deep ****? QB

Fred will prove to be the best back on the team again this year. It's what he does.

Bills media folk seem to think this is the end for Bryce Brown. I'm fine with that. As long as they keep Freddie.

This guy is the NFL version of Floyd Mayweather. He sounds like him too.

Williams? He should be on the Bills.

I'm skeptical about coach-speak, especially this early on, but this is one of my favourite things I've heard Rex say so far. Goodwin is just ridiculously fast. He just needs to stay healthy and he needs to be used properly. In all my years of watching the Bills, I've never seen anyone blow by defenders the way he does.

Are you serious with this list? Fitzpatrick? McIntyre? Parrish? The kickers? You include George Wilson then say Aaron Williams might be a decent safety. TJ Graham was a horrible pick, but Roscoe Parrish had talent? I don't want to say anything in case you were drinking at the time of the post, but I think you're really out to lunch here.

OP is right. What's the point of the front office doing all that stressing about a guy when he probably won't even be that good? They should probably just forget about the rest of their picks too. Just don't show up to the draft at all. Watch all these other loser teams pick the guys we may have, pay them a lot of money, and watch them flame out in a couple of years. Would you rather do that, or spend a few months lounging at the Pegulas' pad in Florida until training camp starts?
