from just a pure football move, why would there be any interest in him?

I think he is one of the better options in a not very strong field. We need insurance behind EJ. Assuming no splash is made in a trade, yes, sign him.

Yeah, he got torched, but I'm sure everyone will go back and apologize.

now I remember why I hated that stats class in grad school

Who's Joe Licata?

This is way too logical for this board. Excellent analysis hopeful, thank you. I am hoping we make a serious play for Chase Daniels. I see him as a Drew Brees and Russell Wilson type of QB, who has shown the ability to win (I know, a small sample size) and I think gives the Bills the ability to win now with the defense we have. He may not be available, but I do think he is worth pursuing in light of the immediate needs (QB upgrade) and potential (Great D & ST, and what could/should be a solid running game, and good O skill players) of the team.

and Giants and Ravens (the previous two SB winners)

said Doug Marrone . . . and how'd that work out?

I think the Bills will make an effort to get Chase Daniels, he has the experience, skill set, and moxy to be the perfect fit for Romans's system. At least I hope they do, I see him as a Russell Wilson type of QB. Athleticism when he needs it, can throw the ball well, and seems to have a high football IQ.

So essentially, we'll be replacing Hughes with Spikes ??? An edge rusher and improving guy against the run, versus a run stuffer, but limited mobility LB. The more I think about it, the personnel are more important than the scheme if it means Hughes vs. Spikes. I would stay with the 4-3. But that ship has sailed.

Doesn't this happen when any athlete starts thinking too much? Same issue with EJ.

that's a line-up I would really get excited about. our new OC just has too many question marks.

I hope you're right. It's just hard to imagine that we whiffed so badly on both picks, two guys who were All-American's on top 10 college football teams. Or was the Bills scouting department and front office totally fooled by the big sexy bodies they were looking at? Did they ever really evaluate the skills, the tools, the measurable, etc? I agree, I do think the weight is an issue. Doug wanted big lineman, and that's what he got. But big does not equal good. There has to be some raw ability there. Let's hope better coaching and better conditioning will improve both. Even if just one pans out, we will be in a better shape (literally and figuratively) on the online.

Why? He seemed to be a very average player in our new OC's system there, what makes anyone think he would be better here under the same guy & system.

In many ways, I don;t see Roman as much different than Hackett. I sure hope, but the reviews froi his work in SF are not too different than Hackett's here.

And go get Chase Daniels

So, three big questions: 1 - Will Sanchez come with him? 2 - Will Schwartz stay? 3 - OC? Trestman?

First thing he'd do? Fire Dareus!

Not interested

I nominate this for post of the year! And it's only day 5.

If he would bring that offensive mindset (Kelly's, that is), I would be very excited. You know, all the things Marrone and Company said they were going to do.

Isn't Jerry the same guy whom said they should cut Darius in the off-season. Just saying . . .

I would like this if he is still there when the Bills pick. He also seems to be very athletic, moves well.

Sad news, prayers for his family and friends
