How can you lose your savings in a government guaranteed bank?
The FDIC insures upto 250k per depositor per bank. And I believe transaction accounts (non-interest bearing) are fully insured right now. So am not sure how one could lose their entire savings either.

Really ? I know that there is a lot of love for our 3.2 million dollar losing QB but if we know that Fitz sucks would you continue to pay 3.2 million for him to continue to lose . If you do please stay away from my business. not one of our QB's , not one, exibit accuracy , understanding of the game , or great work ethic . Just like we are screaming for a college QB to start for the BILLS based on joke of college teams defenses they play . Thats how they was screaming for J. Russell when he was drafted. Do you want to Waste 70 million on a hunch (that what LUCK,MALLET,LOCKER,& PONDER are a 100 million dollar hunch that only threw against MICKEY MOUSE DEFENSES) or do you want to pay someone vet. minimum and tell them to prove it . I go with VET min and prove it for a million Alex.
I never said Fitz was a long term answer. However, Fitz is a lot better than Russell. Let's use the stats from nfl.com to explore this further.
Here are Fitz's numbers the past 3 seasons:
Season Team Passing
G GS Comp Att Pct Yds Avg TD Int Rate
2010 Buffalo Bills 3 3 52 85 61.2 595 7 7 2 99.9
2009 Buffalo Bills 10 8 127 227 55.9 1,422 6.3 9 10 69.7
2008 Cincinnati 13 12 221 372 59.4 1,905 5.1 8 9 70
That comes to a completion percentage of 58% and an average QB rating of 80. TD to Int ratio is 1.14.
Now here are Jamarcus's numbers the past 3 seasons:
Season Team Passing
G GS Comp Att Pct Yds Avg TD Int Rate
2009 Oakland Raiders 12 9 120 246 48.8 1,287 5.2 3 11 50
2008 Oakland Raiders 15 15 198 368 53.8 2,423 6.6 13 8 77.1
2007 Oakland Raiders 4 1 36 66 54.5 373 5.7 2 4 55.9
That comes to a completion percentage of 52% and an average QB rating of 61. TD to Int ratio is 0.78.
The above objective evidence shows that Fitz is significantly better. So just using simple stats pretty much refutes your argument about Russell being a better option.
Lastly, teams do not get out of a 10 year funk by signing someone else's first overall pick flameout and hoping that they suddenly become a Franchise QB. If you have a high draft pick and your talent evaluators feel there is a QB that deserves the pick, you have to roll the dice.

What the hell are you basing this crap your spewing on . Fact is he is only 25 and better than any QB we have on the team . We let vick get away from us when this town knew that he was better than anyone on this team . Russell will cost us the vet min I would rather pay the vet min and lose than pay Fitz 3.2 million to lose .
Given how well Russell played in Oakland, how pray tell is he better than any QB on our team? The only thing he has exhibited so far is poor work ethic, terrible accuracy, poor understanding of the game...

Are they going to put the Bills on Ebay?
When an item of high value like a sports team is put up for sale, all interested parties make a bid. All else being equal (e.g., all have acceptable financial packages, acceptable business plans, qualified ownership), the highest bidder wins.
Bidding does not occur just on Ebay

Might I suggest the following:
I, Ralph Wilson, being of sound and disposing mind (most of the time), hereby make and publish this as my Last Will and Testament:
1) I hereby leave to James Kelly of Buffalo, NY, a 51% ownership interest in the NFL Franchise Buffalo Bills on the condition that he or his successors or heirs maintain the franchise in the Western NY region for at least 50 years before making any demands for relocation or reconstruction of a stadium. In the event the team is offered for sale or in the event the franchise seeks to relocate outside of a 50 mile radius of Buffalo, NY, then, in that event, the 51% interest shall be converted into a publicly held corporation whereby residents of the Western New York region shall be afforded the right to purchase shares of the 51% interest at a discounted value (60% of the Fair Market Value). I make this provision with the understanding that James Kelly has established a home in Western new York, has demonstrated a commitment to the area and will maintain a level of excellence which he is capable of as shown during his years of play in the NFL. I also provide for the discount to residents of Western New York based on their loyalty to this team and franchise during the same time period.
2) I leave 49% of the NFL Franchise to my children with the understanding that they will share in NFL ticket and product revenue on a percentage basis with the majority owner set forth above. This provision, however, will terminate and the 49% ownership interest will revert to the majority owner under Paragraph "1" if my children butt their noses in the day to day operations of a football team they know nothing about.
3) I hereby leave the rest of my estate, cash, cars, houses, accounts and the other crap that I have, to my kids...go on vacation, invest money, live a good life and stay away from the Buffalo Bills....let the majority owners handle it.
4) To the loyal and passionate fans of Buffalo - I leave free parking passes for 50 years...Have fun and enjoy the games.
Interesting thought. But Ralph already said the Bills will be sold to highest bidder. None of his family wants the Bills.
-
You all may have already discussed this but is there any way we could trade Lee Evans before 10/31 that would benefit both the Bills and the other team? If there is one thing we need it is as many draft picks we can get to have a chance at rebuilding over the next 3 to 4 years. Yes I'm an optimist!
The trade deadline is Oct 19 so not that much time left.
-
Its nice to see some the D actually get some pressure on the QB.
-
Take the QB, for sure.
A Pro Bowl tackle is great, and really helps your franchise, but no team would ever give away a Pro Bowl QB for a tackle. Would you trade Drew Brees for Jason Peters?
Yah. A lot of Peters lovers would.
-
I would rather re-sign JP
-
I'm hearing that Moss is off to Minnesota and Adrian Peterson is going to Seattle. Seattle and Minn. are swapping RB's!!!
We are now working on trading Minnestota next years first rnd pick and third rnd pick to get Lynch back. Yeaahhhhh!
Hmmmm. Nice. That stuff you are smoking must be awesome
-
Jason Peters isn't worth $10.5 million a year
Yup you got that right. Peters is not worth that much. How well has he been playing in Philly with that large salary?
-
What? Trent looks good in practice? Who'd a thunk it?
If Trent happened to play against the Bills this Sunday, it may be just like a practice session for him considering how anemic our pass rush has been.

This is not true. There are a ton of examples of great quarterbacks who succeed despite playing behind a poor offensive line. Two examples (one from this year, one from last year, so that should keep it recent enough) are Jay Cutler and the terrible Bears offensive line this year, and Aaron Rodgers having a Pro-Bowl season and leading his team to the playoffs despite playing behind a terrible offensive line last year.
Hmm. That analysis may be oversimplify things How well did Green Bay's line play during the first half of season vs the last half? I believe most of the 50 sacks came during the first half? And this is when Green Bay only went 4-4? Once the offensive line started playing better and actually protecting him, they went 7-1?
The jury is still out on this year's Chicago Bears.
-
You mean kind of like how Eli Manning was drafted by the Chargers, refused to play there, and went on to win a SB with the Giants? Doh. Stupid facts.
Where would Eli be if the Chargers had decided not to trade for Rivers?
-
Maybe this will make Luck declare for the draft seeing how Luck has turned from a top 10 pick to a 3rd or 4th rounder in the span of 7-8 months. Seems like a nice kid but this year combined with the fact his total record is horrible are major red flags
You meant Locker?
-
Against the same defense Joe Flacco went 17/39 1TD 4INT and 154 yds, so I guess he is a bust too. I mean he did throw more interceptions. Give the kid a break on his first start in the rain might I add. Here are some other interesting first starts:
Manning:
21/37 302yds 1TD 3INT 58.6 Rating
Brady:
13/23 168yds 0TD 0INT 79.6 Rating
McNabb
8/20 68yds 0TD 1INT 28.8 Rating
I guess these guys are all busts too, right? Anyone?
Will Clausen be the equal of any of those 3? Or will he follow in the footsteps of Brady Quinn?

HE also quoted Yoda.

The game was lost today, when the clueless redneck coaching this team, decides to kick a field goal at the end of first half, instead of going for it on fourth and one inch. As if that 3 points was going to hold up against Brady. And Brady gets those 3 points back in 3 plays.
The scrooge owner, after making a 900 million profit on this team/community, still cant bring himself to pay for a real coaching staff. Can we ever have a defensive coordinator who has ever been a defensive coordinator/head coach before? Its always the Bills have a D coordinator who is doing it for the first time. You could tell today. You get what you pay for
Normally we would expect trolling from folks that just registered within the past few days or weeks. But it seems we have a troll who has been registered since 2001. Nice.

You're off base here. The secondary is very good. That ridiculously bad front 7 you mentioned makes their efforts go to waste. We get zero pass rush. NFL rules virtually guarantee open receivers if you get some time. You just can't cover forever, and you can't cover much better than most of our DB's did today. The Moss TD you mentioned was blown coverage by our least talented db (Whitner) but overall this secondary is way above average. NE would take our guys (save Whitner) any day over what they have out there. Our struggles on D are a product of no talent on the DL or at LB.
Yup. Unfortunately, Brady had all day to throw with the non-existent pass rush. He will carve up any secondary with that kind of time.
-
Now, Losman is #3 in Seattle.
Actually, Losman got cut before the season started. So he is not even a #3 anywhere in the NFL
-
...AND the flag.
Wasn't intentional, their feet got tangled up. I'll still take it.
Woodson dragged Evans down with his arm....

Paging the Peters homers.
Where is PDaddy when you need him?

Yet another team that was pathetic and suffering from owner-intervention(Skins) rebuild themselves back into being competitive. What did they do????
-Got a real coach (Not some low $$$ bum off the scrap heap) - Statement to the fans.
-Got a real QB (NOT one of our guys deserves to share the same position with McNabb)
-Drafted O-Linemen with their high picks. (Drafting spiller was the same as the T.O. move: selling tickets)
-They have a 2nd legitimate threat to their #1 receiver to take the dbl coverage off. (Lee deserves much better)
-We had EVERY SINGLE opportunity to do the same (including Orakpo). I'm still in shock that the OL wasn't addressed this off season. (5th round draft picks and Cornell f-cking Green?????)
So...I predict that you can add the Skins to the list of teams now on the right track. McNabb under center makes it immediately very interesting. This organization behaves as if it's in a bubble and set apart from the league. Everyone has surpassed us. Pathetic.
Hmmm. Am I missing something? The Redskins just started their season playing the Cowboys around 820 pm. And yet you are already declaring them a resounding success? Seems a bit premature.
An Unlikely Future Owner Of The Bills?

Even assuming that a corporation could buy an NFL team (it can't), have you looked at the Seneca financial statements? Are they capable of putting up the billion dollars that you would need to buy a team?
