DC Grid

QB controversy has begun....as in who is stuck starting each week.

It's almost like Tyrod is missing a trusted go-to WR out there.

This may be one of my favorite things to laugh at. When fans of good teams have an obvious need their management failed to fill and they start playing the super favorable what if game. Because they are spoiled by success they talk themselves into thinking things will work out. "Oh we will likely fall short because we again failed to get a star RB to balance the offense? Oh I'm sure we'll get one of the best in the league for almost nothing. Cause our team is brilliant and team x is stupid." Sorry Packers fans, your grossly unbalanced offense will once again mean you'll be at home in February watching the SB, just like the lowly Bills. Well, that and your awful D.

OR wait for Jax to cut him next week or so and bring him in cheap, then cut him after you realize he's Bortles.

Borrowing from Gordon Gekko: If the Bills owned a funeral palor, no one would die.

This may be the worst move I've ever seen the Bills make...and that's saying something. I don't know how to read this except that the Bills have decided to give up already and begin a complete rebuild. It's hard to imagine them not getting far more for Sammy had they simply traded him earlier in the offseason when rosters weren't yet final, or getting there. This is just a new low from a team that I didn't think could sink any lower. Nice they also did this after most people made their call on season tickets. If that doesn't tell you where the organizations priories are I do t know what will.

Though it should be noted that part of the discrepancy here can be explained by the stadium. Add a new tax payer purchased stadium to the mix and I wouldn't be surprised in Buffalo didn't shoot past Cleveland net worth wise.

"This is as happy as I'll ever be in Jacksonville"

10-12 sacks. He's a hustle guy from all I've read. Never stopped chasing things down in college. With Hughes unleashed in a straight up 4-3 and Kyle and Marcel requiring shifts, I see a lot of opportunity for mop up sacks.

I miss Rex...even repping my home town Nats with the Harper away jersey.

If he beats the Pats, McDominant.....if he loses 10 games McDoormat.

Beyond insane. If he plays just 6 games a year he's still a steal at his rookie deal. Look at what Woods and Goodwin got this year.

From the outside as a fan I'd have said if Alexander is with $4M plus per year than why big pay Brown $6M per. But the fact that the Bills only have to commit to 2 years with Alexander while Brown wants 4-5 could be an issue. Also there could always be a chance McDermmot just doesn't think Briwn is worth it / a scheme fit.

Hyde is a HUGE upgrade over who the Bills had at safety, because Aaron Williams can't play football any more. It stinks, but he's done. So the Bills have clearly lost talent at the CB position but actually gained talent at S.

-Tyrod is a serviceable QB. Not great, not awful. About average in the NFL. And the front office is paying him slightly below average. -Gilmore is a decent CB who cant play on an island / cant cover on his own for more than 15 yards....the Bills would be stupid to give him the money he wants. -Woods is a decent WR who will be forgot in an instant if the Bills grab Williams at 10. -Goodwin is a one trick pony....who is usually hurt. Listenbee or insert random WR name here from the later rounds of this year's draft can more than fill his shoes. So what about all of this is tanking? Seems like they are making sensible moves...but we'll see what happens this season. To me if you have a top 10 scoring offense and a total garbage D, I'd be more concerned about fixing the garbage D, which may only need a scheme fix, and a lot less concerned about a front office that is keeping the core of the offense together and letting replaceable players go.

I would've been fine with the old deal. I assume that the Bills didn't make things worse for themselves. This IS a lot to assume but today I have hope.

Back and on a restructured deal. WIN-WIN. Doug Whaley does it right!!!!!!!

I spent the SB in Vegas....won over $1700 taking the Pats, the over and a bunch of pro Pats props. I did all of this as disappointment insurance in case the Pats won again, and even with all of that I'm miserable. Some pain you just can't relieve.

It's that time of year again. Time to scout for the next great QB to save the Bills. What I love about this year's search is it comes with the added twist of ditching a QB that is better than half the NFL teams start. This really may be a new low as a Bills fan.

Sad to see the Chargers go, but it's a rare city that is financially better off with an NFL team. You can effectively build around an NBA, NHL, MLB or even a MLS team these days, but the short schedule and extremely limited cross purpose functions of an NFL stadium makes sure that any city backing an NFL team is doing it as a charitable act. I think there is some true value to having a local identity established by an NFL in the rare Buffalo's Green Bay's of the world....but that was never SD.

"Doug and I just threw Russ over the falls and inked Tyrod's option."

Take a good look at your future if the Bills are dumb enough to dump Tyrod. He isn't perfect but there's no one on their roster who isn't FAR worse. He's an average QB who the Bills have an opportunity to lock down for an average salary. The choice is binary, stick it out with him or hit reset and get ready for 3-4 years of total misery, barring a Dak Prescott / Tom Brady miracle.

Straight into the dumpster. That's where this team will go. I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. The team would be in the playoffs this year with even an average defense. So the logic around here for so many is to dump Tyrod and start over....going with NO ONE. Even the rosiest fantasies involve striking gold in a BAD QB draft or Tony Romo? Come on. As the deadspin article that just ran points out, Tyrod is more of a known commodity than the Jimmy G's and other awful pipe dreams fans here seem to cling to. Tyrod's a good QB. Denver won with just a good QB last year. KC may win it all with just a good QB this year. Buffalo has a lot of talent on the roster, and dumping a good QB to chase a hypothetical better one means this team is going down the crapper if they dump Tyrod.

I REALLY hope this is the thinking. It terrifies me that the front office may be as reactionary as the fans these days and want to toss Tyrod to the curb with no better option. Tyrod and even an average D would be in the playoffs this year. How do so many people seem to miss this?
