this is a good option

makes sense, but would love to keep both. However, if Levitre goes, Rhinehart will be our starting LG next season.

Not a need for the Bills, FA money could be - will be - better spent elsewhere. But, as with all major name releases, just like you can count on the sun coming up in the east every morning, you can be assured there will be a new thread on TBD asking if we should sign him. And I hear someone typing Charles Woodson as I speak . . .

I totally agree with this, although I did question some things he did (pass happy at time, under-use of CJ Spiller, relying too much on Fitz), the real problem of this team over the past few years has been the defense. The offense has been relatively successful. By the way, notice that the early moves of the new regime have been more on the defensive side of the ball--addition by subtraction, but moves nonetheless.

Just a reminder and reality-check TBD'rs: Our team sucked last year because the Defense sucked! . . . Don't get caught mindlessly drinking the "its all about replacing Fitz" Kool Aid and stupidity.

Aaron Maybin 2.0

It might be the 4.40 speed ???

Vick has his issues, but if the BIlls could get him for the right price, I say go for it. Especially considering there really is not much to get excited about in the draft. The only one whom might be an NFL starter is Geno Smith, and he'll be gone before the BIlls draft. So Vick, for the right price, could buy you a year or two; moreover, that allows you to keep Fitz around as a dependable back-up should Vick get injured (which is what his real value is an NFL QB). I would prefer this scenario over rolling the dice on all the long-shot QBs in the draft.

what????

And Flutie won and Johnson didn't

I'll try hard to over look the insult to cancer victims and little people . . . but you really showed your IQ deficiency when you some how came to the convoluted logic to think that Rob Johnson was a better QB for the Buffalo Bills than Doug Flutie . . . further evidence that there should be a driving text for posting on TBD

Hard for me to put the 2001 draft up there, what did they produce? one, winning season, and certainly no play-offs. Drafts, like teams, are ultimately measure by results, and "results" in the NFL is winning; specifically, winning play-off games. Thus, I will go with the 1985 gang, they may have won more than any Bills group ever--and all those mentioned where big contributors.

Always a good thread when you an get a Woodstock reference in.

cool, thanks for posting this link

Wow, pretty strong judgement against someone you don't know, I really don't get the angst.

No thanks, there are better athletes, even if he is available Two things: 1 - So what you're saying is the ND coaches suck, they had the same time and sure didn't come up with much 2 - Not that I wouldn't like to have him, but not as a number 8 pick, need better at the spot

Well, that's a bonus for us . . . when you can get into the head of a Harvard man and screw him up, it will be amazing to watch what he does with a USC dropout.

I agree with the rest of them, and would add . . . Refused to can Wanny, or at least make him throw a blitz in once in-a-while, after it was painfully obvious that our four man front couldn't generate a pass rush on its own. . . . . TBD'ers: DO NOT FORGET, it was the Defense that ruined this season, not the Offense However, not sure this is a reason to bench someone--at least he was in position to have the opportunity "Refused to bench Wilson, when he dropped game-clinching INTs in back-to-back games"

because he faked his girlfriends death? my number one movie of all time!

me too!

Yeah, that Wilson kid is never going to make it. So glad we drafted that WR over him ... what is his name again?

This is indisputably true ... the Bills have let several talented players walk; OR, has it been they just want to go no matter how much the Bills are offering because they want to be on a winning team in healthy organizations????? And I fear that's where Levitre is. He knows there are a number of teams out there looking for top quality lineman (with injuries, and the general lack of quality line play around the league, every team would say they want to improve their line, this is not just a Bills problem), and there are certainly winning teams that will be more than happy to pay him whatever the Bills offer. So, does he think things can turn around in Buffalo, and is he willing to take that chance? Does he go to a proven winner, or stay at a "I hope we win next year" team? If he leaves, don't be surprised, he will be following a long line of solid players that have exited Buffalo for the same reason, its not about money, it's about winning. I hope he doesn't go--we certainly need him, but if he does, who can fault him?
