I guess he had a lot of fans on this board, but I got tired of his constant vitriol against the Sabres and Bills organizations. Neither team has been perfect over the years, and any entity with that much influence in a community should be open to public scrutiny, but I always felt that Bucky had way too much of a personal vendetta - especially against the players. It's kind of pathetic for a guy who couldn't run a 40-yard dash without stopping at Arby's, to be so venomously critical of pro athletes' performance. I think it affected his work, because it seemed like the players didn't want to talk to him. I stopped reading his work a long time ago. Kind of ironic that his career at TBN ends with a buyout, which seemed to be his standard prescription for every underperforming Sabre over the years.

The Tank doesn't seem to be playing out all that well.

He was ridiculous in Madden 93.

It shows he is coachable. I can tell you that Wyoming is big-time ranch country. It's in squirt bottles on restaurant tables there, the way Red Hot is in WNY. Clearly, Josh studied the film and learned that blue cheese is the only acceptable option in his new home.

What's a ZJ?

I'm excited about the Allen pick. He may very well bust, but the kid is really smart, works hard, he's tall, he can run, and he has an absolute howitzer. I think a lot of the criticism is uninformed dribble, especially regarding his accuracy, which everyone seems to think is determined entirely by his completion percentage. When I watch him play, I see a gamer with incredible athletic skills who can put the ball anywhere it needs to go. This kid's ceiling is scary, and I do think he has it in him to reach it. The biggest risk I see is The Bills O-line. It's a big question mark right now, and if they stink, it's going to be tough on the kid.

Won't be much pocket going on in Buffalo this year.

The % is low for Allen in large part because he didn't have a lot of dump-offs to running backs. Those pad the stats a lot. On tape, his long throws don't look inaccurate to me.

B. I think the players they picked get an A, but there are too may holes in the roster to trade away all those picks to move up three times in the first round.

Excellent post, and very much needed in this time of insanity. So much hyperanalysis over outcomes that nobody can predict at this stage of the game. Let's just pick a dude, develop him as best we can, and see how it works out.

This is a great schedule. Get the best teams on the road early before they really start hitting their stride, then 6 of 9 at home to finish, maybe with some snow. Looks good to me.

Not even close. A guard probably needs at least 6-7 pro bowl seasons, with 3 of them being All-Pro, to get consideration for Canton.

That's funny when he asks whether you would rather be in Houston or Buffalo, as if it's an obvious choice. Don't get me wrong, Buffalo has its flaws, but I think I would rather be ANYWHERE but the redneck swamp of Houston!

His brother Ty was a gifted putter.

Kind of reminds me of Joey Harrington.

I can see it happening. I think they have in mind the QB they want, and if he's not there when they're on the clock, they will fill another position before they settle for a QB they aren't as hot on. Either they get their #1 guy or they don't take a QB is my guess. Maybe there is ore than one they would take, though.

Agreed, not a superstar, but you can't afford a team full of superstars.

Crap, now what am I supposed to do with 1000 shares of EJ's Fantex stock?

You forgot to mention Trent Murphy's lunch pail.

I don't know, this list looks like a bunch of proven bums.

Foles will be too expensive, so it's really down to your tier 2 and 3. Anyone wishing the FO had held off on trading Tyrod for a few more days?

I would almost rather they sign Kaepernick than any of these guys. At least that would be interesting.

Perhaps someone could offer some analysis of the options available? Is there a good crop of signal callers available at the collegiate level, for example?
