QB Bills

How about this? Keep Alonso, draft Gurley (or another RB), save 8 million in salary and spend it on the offensive line? You people realize that Bryce Brown looked like a star in that Philly offense too? McCoy has had the benefit of a good to great offensive line, and excellent offensive coaching (Reid and now Chip) his whole career. He won't have that here and when he's being outplayed by Freddie, there will be some sad people on this board. This trade sucks on so many levels it's not even funny. Whaley needs to go. The guy is as clueless as he is reckless.

Early prediction: Freddie outplays Mccoy in 2015. You heard it here first.

Assuming the Bills were this hell-bent on getting a running back, they picked the wrong target. Peterson is on the outs in Minnesota. Although they are trying to mend fences, I'm sure if Whaley was dangling Kiko they would have jumped at the idea. Peterson is much better than any other player at his position. His cap hit isn't much more than McCoy's. And he's been better than him with a lesser line and inferior coaching. I wonder if they even explored that option considering this trade came together in 20 minutes. As for the trade itself, the opportunity cost of it, when you factor in salaries and the positional value in question, is so incredibly stupid and reckless that I'm amazed at people defending it. This isn't fantasy football. In any case, it won't make a bit of difference either way until we get a QB.

I'm amazed at how he gets down the field so.. (•_•) ( •_•)>⌐■-■ (⌐■_■) Easily.

The guy is excellent on special teams. I don't know how he does it, but he's always in great position to make a play on the returner right as the ball is being caught. Would be a significant loss if he walks, in my opinion.

Makes me feel better that the anti-Stevie crowd is full of posters with crappy spelling/grammar. You guys are right though. He's the only receiver that drops passes, he's lazy and his attitude is what spawned ISIS.

No chance. Hughes might even get that much. Suh will get way more than that.

I partially just wanted an excuse to type out "Ndamukong" as I have so few opportunities to do so. But what about bringing this guy aboard? The obvious answer is that we already have a strong d-line and would have too much money tied up there. He would definitely cost a lot, but in this case, you wouldn't bring back Hughes, so its all about opportunity cost. Hear me out though. Kyle Williams is aging (although he's still excellent) and there is no guarantee Dareus will re-sign in Buffalo. If he does, you have two elite tackles along with Mario. The salary cap keeps rising and we don't have a big-time QB to pay, as Whaley keeps reminding us. With Detroit deciding not to franchise him (mostly due to money tied up with Stafford and Johnson), I think the Bills should look at this. The defense could be historically good next season with that d-line and Rex Ryan running it. Kyle-Marcel-Suh Mario-Brown-Bradham-Kiko Gilmore-A. WIlliams-Rambo/Duke-Leodis (salivating)

Perhaps you're right Yolo, but I'm holding out hope (blindly, I suppose) that something bigger is on the horizon that's probably been mentioned but we haven't realistically considered.

Cutting EJ would be a headscratcher if true. But from Leroi's previous posts, he did imply that there was a big plan for QB. I'm guessing that doesn't mean just Josh McCown.

I am. But it's not my money. This guy was solid as can be before his injury, by all accounts.

Who are the free agents next year?

Honest question...have you ever actually watched Sam Bradford play? I've noticed that you keep throwing out the most basic of stats to say that he and EJ Manuel are basically the same guy. I can't even begin to describe how ridiculous that is. Look at what he's had to work with in his time there. His RBs have been Steven Jackson (who had been run into the ground before Bradford even got there) and a bunch of scrubs. His receivers? Amendola (Edelman's crappier twin brother), Brandon Lloyd (yippee), Tavon Austin (aka Roscoe Parrish) and some guys they found tailgating in the parking lot before games. His o-line, other than a few serviceable games early on by Roger Saffold, has been a mess. And to top it off, he's had the combo of Jeff Fisher and Brian "lets go play action on 3rd and 24" Schottenheimer as his coaches. And lets not forget the division he plays in and how good those defenses are that he has had to go up against 6 times a year. I'm hoping the Rams are stupid enough to let him go, but I don't see it happening. If it did, and Buffalo was lucky enough to get him, my guess is you'd see very early on that there is a huge difference between him and EJ Manuel.

Getting rid of a good player because you think he'll get injured is ridiculous. He doesn't have any lingering issues that we know about. $hit happens. Move on and get this guy the ball a few times a game.

eff you vic carucci!

You're either joking, or you haven't ever watched a Rams game.

Quick sidenote about that place: Nobody ever peed standing up there.

Let's just get the smart-ass response of "he gets injured" out of the way first. Disclaimer: I'm a sucker for the blazing fast guys. I held out hope for Roscoe Parrish and TJ Graham longer than most so take this all with a grain of salt. Having said that. I love watching this guy play and I think he needs to be used more. The separation he gets is not something I've ever seen from a Bills player. Yes he gets hurt a lot, but he's not a wimpy player. The guy goes into the middle and will take a hit to make a catch. For those who have seen their share of Niners games, what role do you see him playing in Roman's offense? I can't recall if they had a guy like him before. Brandon Lloyd is fast, but not really the same kind of player. From everything Rex and Roman have said, it seems like they prefer size and power over the small, fast guys. Watkins and Goodwin on the ends with Woods in the slot would scare defenses (if we had a QB, that is).

He thought that because he had our resident used-car salesman named Russ Brandon on his side. Luckily the Pegulas didn't listen to him. I'm just hoping the days of this guy slithering himself into football decisions are over for good.

RalphOP83 is female? Or did he mistype fiancée? Either way, thanks for your insight as always madam/sir!

Baccari Rambo should be elite based on his name alone. I was actually disappointed he only got two picks against Rodgers. I was expecting at least 4.

You have to have a brain to get a concussion. Lucky for him, he didn't have to worry about that.

Favourite Keith Rivers memory from the past year? Him not touching Arian Foster to mark him down after Foster fell after a catch and run late in the 4th quarter. Foster got up and gained a few more yards for the first down. Guy just stood there watching him then realized too late. Moron. Technically, this is my only memory of the guy. Good riddance.

This is simply just not true. Edwards had probably the best game of his career the week after against the Chargers. And EJ wasn't progressing at all this year. Not saying he never will, but its just not factual to say he was better than he was last season (even though he wasn't all that great then either).
