Sorry to be a jerk but when the hell are people going to get the clue that the exception doesn't invalidate the rule? Seriously! I'll go with the draft a QB before o-line if you can find me a 6'5" 241lb first round talent QB who is half as tough as Big Ben. I assume some jackass already brought up the other exception, Aaron Rogers. He had 3 - 4 years on the bench to learn the game before being thrust into a starting role and his and his teams play improved appreciably after the "talk" where they discussed o-line play and getting rid of the ball earlier.
PLEASE do not try to use these examples to say we don't need a line first. It's the same weak ass argument that people try to make for drafting late round QBs because one team, NE, has struck gold in the last 40 years doing so.
Ummm. That post was really meant to point out the flawed perception that Pittsburgh has a great O line.
I never said anything about the need to draft a QB first. I am more a supporter of those who believe that the you need to build quality lines first to have a shot at winning.

good points...but as to sanchez and big ben...remember that the Jets has used two drafts to upgrade their offensive line before drafting sanchez. D'brick, Mangold, the acquisition of Fanaca were major upgrades (as well as getting some very good running backs) that helped Sanchez become successful. Pittsburgh always had good offensive line and good smashmouth runners, so Big ben was successful partially as a result of all the pieces being there when he came in.
Is Pittsburgh's O line really good? Don't they have major pass protection issues? I seem to recall that in the past 2 seasons, Big Ben has taken quite a beating from the pass rushers of the opposing team. I think a large part of the success of the Steeler's passing games is due to Ben's toughness and ability to shrug off a potential sack and make a good throw.

Was roddy white good when he had joey harrington or how bout byron leftwitch or better yet chris redman??? UMMMM NO...he just happend to find how to play in his 5th year and hell he's not top 5 receiver he's good better than his rookie year when mike was there...not to mention peerless price was there was he good? i know you know bout that guy, so its mikes fault he wasnt good? and how can you say they got better when he left? did they get to the nfc championship game yet? I THINK NOT..so until they get there or to the superbowl your quote is highly invalid...and if im not mistaken didnt mike get CHEERED into the game and didnt he get CHEERED when he SCORED WITH A NEW TEAM ON HIS OLD TEAM IN ATLANTA..I think I may have imaged that or something *sarcasm*
Wow. Its fitting that you have Lynch as your avatar and handle. You write like him. I can't understand what your point is because of the extremely poor sentence construction and preponderance of run on sentences.

Below are Vick's career passing stats from Atlanta from ESPN website. Would you really call him a good QB? He seems to have very pedestrian numbers for a QB. Career completion percentage is below 60% . No season with over 3000 yards passing. And a career passer rating below 80.
YEAR TEAM G CMP ATT PCT YDS AVG TD LNG INT RAT
2001 ATL 8 50 113 44.2 785 6.9 2 52 3 62.7

How good was the Bills line last year? Is that Kugler's fault or the fault of talent evaluators who fielded the team? Did they have injuries? Did the QB hold the ball too long? Charles ran for 1500 yards. Their line wasn't all bad. Step down off the ledge.
-
Dexter McCluster and Myron Rolle...those are my 2 sleeper/surprise players in this draft.
I bet they are both studs at the next level...especially Myron Rolle.
Is Myron Rolle actually going to play football at the pro level? I thought he had some academic aspirations like being a doctor / medical researcher?
-
If Brett Retires, will Minnesota make a play for a proven playmaker rather than going with their backups? I was told today that there are rumors about Childress going for McNabb?
-
Without unnamed sources, there wouldn't have been a Watergate. The Watergate story is about as old school as it gets.
You can't compare Watergate to football. Thats apples and oranges.

I find it interesting that you have decided to read into this beyond what the man himself apparently said. Another school of thought if he was snubbed would be for him to decline to comment at all. as opposed to weaving a tapestry of commentary for everyone to read between the lines so that he wouldn't be embarrassed. he's a guy on record as having said he wasn't interested in coaching again, those comments apparently pre-date the jauron firing, and now this. if he wants to coach again, why the wishy-washy response that he's not maybe not sure that he wanted to coach again? Is Buffalo the only job he is interested in? Why wouldn't he just say "I'd sure like tog et back on the sidelines, this just wasn't the opportunity for me.".
Its amazing how many people try to read between the lines when its so much simpler and reasonable to take things at face value.

Let's go Bills! Let's go Bills! BILLIEVE!! BILLIEVE!!
Pants on the ground.
So whenever someone points out the flaws in your reasoning, you are just going to say "Pants on the ground" ??? Nice.
-
Is Gailey unquestionably that much greater than Billick, Schottenheimer, Martz, Fassel, etc... that those guys didnt even warrant an interview? Wouldnt it be productive to hear what these guys had to say regarding the current roster and direction of the team?
Its highly unlikely that Fassel would have been approached again by the Bills considering how badly his interview went a few years ago with the Bills head honchos.
-
Why not interview these guys????!!!!!
Is Chan Gailey going anywhere?
You only interview folks if you are seriously interested in them.... As folks have already said, there is a reason why Billick has not been contacted by anyone.
-
Golly gee whiz, I suppose you need a video of OJ butchering people with a knife before you believe it too???
This is one of the dumbest things I have heard yet. You are comparing Marty to OJ? Really now?
-
Evidently, Schottenheimer wanted the job, but Wilson pulled the chicken switch.
http://espn.go.com/blog/afceast/post/_/id/...anted-bills-gig
I'm calling BS. Marty had said very recently and very publicly that he was done with coaching...
-
Fail. Did you even read who actually wrote the article? Who is Matt Mosley? With the kind of fact checking/ proof reading that he did (Tony Romo was the Cowboys QB in the late 90s???), I guess I know why I never heard of him.

49ers interviewing him for ST Coord:
April was already signed by Philly a couple of days ago as their new ST coordinator.

Looking at the voting for the AP All-Pro team, it was interesting to see the following for Offensive Tackles:
1. Jason Peters- the guy we couldn't make happy & traded away: 5th with 5 votes
2. Bryant McKinnie- in retrospect, the guy the Bills should've taken over Fat Mike Williams- 4 votes
3. Michael Oher- the guy the Bills should've taken with their 1st pick of the 2009 Draft instead of Maybin- 4 votes
Although these guys got votes, they didn't actually make the All-Pro team right?
Ryan Clady is first team All-Pro with 30 votes. Now that is impressive and speaks to how well he played throughout the season and not just a few games here and there.
-
The 'Skins fired Zorn, but selectively retained coaches who were still under contract. Shanahan came in and elected to keep their ST coach, Danny Smith.
The Bills, by contrast, for reasons known only to them, allowed all of their coaches under contract to walk, including Kugler and April, two very well-respected coaches. So the new coach (assuming they're able to convince some schlub to take the job) doesn't even have the option of retaining them.
Someone explain that to me, please. Seems to me like a complete botch-job.
You can't fault the Bills for that. Releasing the rest of the coaching from their contracts was the right thing and the professional thing to do.
The alternative would have been holding the coaches till a new one is signed. And then what happens if that new coach does not want some of those coaches? Then they would be up the creek since they lost the chance to go pursue other jobs earlier.
-
Do you realize that the Bills have had a total of two interviews so far? You would think they would have an interview every other day at minimum. I'm starting to think that everyone has been hanging up on Nix. I mean everyone. People here want Cowher or Gruden??? The Bills will be lucky to get Rich Kotite and Wayne Fontes. We fired everyone and now no one will come here. Meanwhile, all the "crappy" coaches we thought sucked are getting hired by better NFL teams. We may be the first NFL team where the players have to coach themselves.
PTR
It seems to me that if we asked Fassel or Billick, they would jump at it.... Heck didn't Fassel actually beg Al Davis for a shot at the NFL again fairly recently?
Although, I do doubt that Buddy has the aforementioned coaches on his list.

"I am ecstatic to come to work for the New York Giants," Fewell said. "It's a good football team with good defensive players, and it is a franchise known for defense."
Yawn. Yet another silly post by the king of negativity and reading too much between the lines.
-
Special teams were the one bright spot on the team during his tenure with the Bills and consistently ranked near the top of the league. One down year and suddenly, in fans minds, he stinks. I'm not sure if the new head coach would've retained him, but would've had the opportunity to do so if he wasn't fired by the organization before hiring a new head man.
Actually, April had an opt out clause in his contract and excercised it... The Bills did not fire him.
-
So which is a better affirmation of overall level of play during a season? A Pro Bowl selection or and All Pro selection?
To use an example which we all love , I don't see Jason Peters on this list.
-
I believe the Pats have a total of four picks in the first and second rounds of this year's draft? It seems that if the Pats are still good at identifying talent, they can readily plug some of the holes that they currently have via the draft and some good free agent pickups. So talking about their demise may be premature.

Before we draft a QB or obtain one in free agency, check to see if they have a winning record.
For example:
Sam Bradford- won a Heisman and took the sooners to the national championship game. Has a better win/loss ratio.
Colt McCoy-won more games than any QB in college football history and took the Longhorns to the national championship game
Tim Tebow- won a Heisman and won two national championships. Has a better win/loss ratio.
Jimmy Clausen- did not have a winning record at Notre Dame
Jevan Snead- won more games than he lost at Ole Miss
Mike Vick- won more games than he has lost (barely): (37-31-1)
I could go on an on with more QB's, but I think you get the point.
Again, check the win/loss ratio before considering a QB.
Umm. QBs do not win or lose games by themselves. They are very much dependent on the quality of players that surround them both on offense and defense. Whats your point?
