WHAT A WASTE !!!!!!

I don't understand why Brad Smith is destined to be the #3 QB.
They hardly used the Wildcat last year and I think Vince Young could run it just as well and maybe better than Smith. Young can run and he would be a true passing threat. Smith did next to nothing last year as a returner. I would rather we keep an extra DB that can return or a younger WR than Smith. And I would rather they trade for or grab a project QB from the waiver wire.
Just don't see the need to keep him and his contract. Use that money to resign Levitre and Byrd.
Please someone tell me what I am missing???
I agree to a lot of what you said but the one thing that Smith has going for him (& i can't believe i'm actually going to put in a plug for this guy ) is his versatility . He is one guy that can play 3 different spots on your roster & be above average at all of them .
That is the only reason that they can keep him around . I personally like you would rather have a future draft pick or to pursue the maturation of Young b/c that could have potential ? But as a #3 Qb for now if he sticks i can stomach it ..

Ah !! nothin but class

ARE YOU FOR REAL ??? AND I THOUGHT I POSTED SOME DUM THINGS . CAN'T TELL THERE'S NO FOOTBALL NOW CAN WE ??
:thumbdown: -
Well surprise i think not !!! Now what do all the nay sayers that thought the Lynch trade was the wrong thing to do have to say ???

It's actually not just a game to them, it's their careers. And to preface what I'm about to say, I really can't stand when a random stranger feels the need to comment on someone else's financial situation, especially regarding their careers, but I'm going to try and keep this civil and respectful;
I think perspective is missing from your rant. He's an employee looking to maximize his income while he's still capable of performing at an elite level. We all have that option, though most of us aren't sought out like Mr. Brees is.
If you're angry about how much he makes, you're angry at the wrong person. Otherwise, you're angry because he wants to secure his future and do so with the most profit possible. Either way, it smells like envy sprinkled with a hint of jealousy.
Also, thanks to your son for his service. On top of the abundant charity work Drew Brees does, I'm sure he's very grateful for the men and women who serve and protect our country.
With all due respect , i understand that it is a career , but it is still a game !! ( if you put lipstick on a pig IT'S STILL A PIG ) The simple perspective to my rant is that perspective is gone . All military personal not only to further there lives & to learn a trade or vocation of sorts , also to further their along with their families futures agree willingly to go out & put there life on the line day in & day out so you , myself , & all other Americans & even non Americans can have a opinion & not get in trouble for that said opinion ..
I'm not at all angry with Drew Brees i just think his & other athletes out look would be much different if they would humble them selves a bit & realize just what he gets paid , even if you break it down 19.5 million or 20 million a year decided by 365 is like $54,794 A DAY !!! Every day - not the days he's performing his job that's - EVERY DAY !! 365 - 24 - 7 !!
Excessive - YA THINK ???? A bit greedy - MAY BE ?? Just a Little ??
Look i love football as much as every one here , i was just pointing out that (with no jealousy or envy what so ever) I think that the perspective of reality has been put out the window when it comes to sports in general & it all started with Base Ball (huge contracts) If these guys would manage their money a bit better & the owners & all involved would manage it better & put the greed aside the older players would be covered for the things they are suing for, the new players along with the old would have great retirements , there would be enough for all concerned & all would be good ..
Because lets face it , If Drew Brees didn't have those lineman in front of him that are only making on average $500000 to $3 million a year he wouldn't be able to do what he does & the WR's wouldn't be able to do what they do & touch down's wouldn't be scored ..I ain't saying but i'm just saying !!
And i , like you will still be buying jersey's , sitting in front of the boob tube with a beer on sundays or going to the stadium to see my Bills play while others do what they do & give up 10 times more than any athlete to do there job so we can sit & drink our beer & watch our GAMES !! but i;m just saying !!
-
Ya know , i got to give the guy his props but COME ON MAN !! Drew Brees is difinitely a great QB , but what is he trying to prove ? They have offered up the farm more than likely & he still not happy with the offer !!
Now he's playing the hold out card - again COME ON MAN !! If they don't come to an agreement & he plays under the franchise tag the poor guy will only make what a measley 9 or 10 million to play one year -- i just don't know how he will be able to survive
!!I think these guys have lost all touch with reality !! I was just talking to my son in law the other day , he is a Marine , been in Iraq 3 times , Afganistan 2 times & barely makes $40 grand a year & our beloved Pres. is trying to cut them back further yet ... Go Figure !! But here are guys that get their asses shot at & put there life on the line like police officers & fire man & they make peanuts & guys like Brees & the dude from Philly complain B/C they spend money like our gov't & then wonder why they are broke (before the end of the contract) & ask for even more
!!They need to send guys like Brees & others that think they are gods gift to what ever sport & send them over & get their asses shot at , or let them lay brick , or clean out septic tanks for a year & then they might appreciate their contract or the contract offer they get a little more !!
I know we as fans enable these guys , by us loving the sport we allow them to live the way they do & we sure as hell aren't going to change that any time soon !! We will still go to games B/C we love the sport & buy the jersey's & all the other things that go along with it , but it is real disheartening when these guys get ultra greedy & lose almost all touch with reality or the real world & let greed engulf everything they are .
If they would just mind their P's & Q's with these ungodly pay checks they would be able to live out their entire life very comfortable , hell any one of us would love to have one year of their pay (I'll trade them) & --- well --- some of us would make it last , others would blow through it as fast as pouring piss out of a boot (as my old man use to say)
Well there you have it my rant for the next little while , i truly hope though they let him or MAKE him sit out a year & then he might have a new found appreciation for what he has & what he has been offered to play a game , It's just getting nuts !!
:wallbash: !! -
So that picture just basically tells all B/lo fans this guy just dicked around while he was here so he could get thrown off the team & go some where else . Which just goes to prove his BS enthusiasm the day of the draft . I always thought he was a BS artist from day one

Last night a few of us had a good conversation on Shoutbox about Chris Berman. That guy is way past his prime. During the home run derby last night he said BACK BACK BACK BACK GONE every single time a ball was hit. I had to hit mute at times just to enjoy the home runs. He should only be allowed to do the Sunday night NFL wrap up with Tom Jackson. I can't believe ESPN is allowing Berman to do a MNF game this year. I am tired of the old antics of Dick Vitale, Chris Berman, and Lee Corso. Here is a video from last night when a true baseball great schooled Chris Berman on air:
Get over it he is an icon with a capitol I !! If it wasn't for him ESPN would have been another crappy attempt at a sports station . Him and a few others took the wide world of sports & turned it into ESPN of today .
If you want to B word why don't you B word about the gay writers on the staff that every time a gay slur is muttered at a sporting event by a star player they have to make a huge deal out of it & have 3 or 4 full shows on it to promote their agenda .. That is something to B word about not a guy that changed the way game not only in football but base ball , & other sports were called .
Heck i think he even influenced a NFL ref called Red Cashom ?? I think in the way he said First Down it was great . So gripe about something that has some substance to it instead of just talking to here your head roar !!!

I drive for a country artist & with my pass i can go where ever i want to during the concert but generally by the monitor rig is pretty cool !!! Rock on TK !!!!!

Your D is better than your O Mcintyre has done nothing i think he is gone in favor of Dickerson as an HB / FB type
Asper will be there but as a C / OL ,
Tashard Choice won't be the choice as a RB we can use the spot for another player !!
I also think Dwan Edwards is gone in favor of a younger player like Carrington he has more years in him for less money !!
One thing for sure we don't have any shortage of good / talented players !! I just hope we keep the right ones for this team - chemistry is half the battle !!!

I didn't like the pick when it was made, but it's not the first time I say that either. From every report I've read the rook has had an excellent camp and is looking like the real deal. Here's to hoping Gilmore shines this season and makes me start an apologetic thread by week 6.
QUESTION - WERE YOU ALSO ONE OF THE GUYS THAT HATED THE GAILEY & NIX HIRE ??? HMMMMMM ????? If so he'll make you eat crow !!!!!!
-
I in some ways hate it for him ! the guy was always up beat here & i along with everyone else in B/lo thought he was our guy for a while ! I kind of wish there would have been a different set of circumstances for him B/c he wasn't a Billy Jo Tolliver type !!
I wonder if a guy like him could have had a different out come with a David Lee in the mix or at least a HC that had half of a clue
cause DJ sure didn't help the guy with the situations he put him in !!Well any way i will still root for the guy in hopes that he does do well for some one elses team but am glad that Chan was able to move on to where we are now !!!
GO BILLS !!!!!!

Hey, it's the offseason, and I saw this pic floating around and thought it was interesting. I kinda like the more detailed take on the logos.
What ya think?

Seeing as this is a Bills sight and i being a Bills fan will only comment on our logo . If this was for a comic book it would be OK but i for one hope this is just a frustrated artists version of something that will never materialize ..
IF IT AIN'T BROKE DON'T FIX IT !!!!!!!

On NFL Live today, they had fans on Twitter vote for the top 5 RBS in the NFL. They did it in a "Family Feud" style fashion in honor of the late host. The Results were interesting.
1. AP
2. A. Foster
3. L. McCoy
4. Ray Rice
and Number five had the hosts guess Chris Johnson, Forte, and MDJ before they finally showed the 5th spot as Freddy. Both seemed kinda stunned at 1st but then went into saying how good he was early on in the season and how good he must be considering it was fans on Twitter voting him in w/ Buffalo being a small market and all. Kind of cool.
Ya & Hasselback must have a hate for the Bills like no other . He immediately dissed Freddy & does the same to the Bills every chance he gets !! I just hope this year the boys make all of them eat every word that has come out there mouth !!!

Sorry if this topic has been discussed recently but...
I can't help but worry a bit about our linebackers.
Read somewhere that Barnett is playing outside full time for the first time ever.
Morrison is decent but was never really more than that.
Shep has only a handful of starts in his career.
I know our d-line should take some pressure off them but we really need them to make plays for us.
Are they up for it?
Thoughts?
With the guys we brought in this year via the draft & FA i think that can & will be a strong position for us this year & for years to come !!
Bradham , Carder , Moats , Shep , Barnett , White , Eddins , Morrison , Mikillop (which Wanny is high on) Possibly Batten ??
What's not to like ?? They can't all be busts , we know Moats is a player , Barnett too , Shep will do fine in the middle with the added pressure of the D Line , not to mention that the infusion of veterans along with the youth , i think this will be a great group for us as long as they determine who are the best ones to fit the scheme Wanny has for them !!!!!!!

Drew Bledsoe.
O.K. he may not have been the savior that every one thought he would be but he did nothing to flat out screw the team !! He played well as a Bill , finished his contract , didn't bad mouth the team when he left !!
So please explain why he is a creep besides your apparent dislike of him , maybe b/c he was a Patriot ??

The Bills did not draft Peters
Sorry it's not the first time i was wrong !!!! Won't be the last either i'll bet !!!
-
O.K. I know it's getting to a slow time of the year & we all are looking for things to talk about & while answering another post i was inclined to ask (b/c of my answer in the other post) who might be other Bills fans biggest creep player of all time for the Bills ??
This has to be a player that has flat out screwed the Bills (in your opinion) as far as taking advantage of the team & the organization in some way shape or form ??
At first glance 2 come to mind for me any way in the recent past of the Bills , those being Willis McGahee & then there is Jason Peters & i will explain why i feel these 2 are a top my list .
First - Willis - The Bills (T . Donahoe) went out on a limb & took McGahee as a first round pick , paid him first round money to sit & rehab his knee for a entire year (which no one was sure if he would come back from that horrific injury) if you saw it you all know what i mean
!! But then i will at least give him that when he did come back he did justify the pick ! But then he showed his Miami attitude & raising it's ugly head in our little blue collar Buffalo city & proved that he was not the Bills type of player that fit the mold of this team . At least Marshawn just left via trade with out bad mouthing --- publicly any way !!
Then there is Jason "the turd" Peters - the Bills draft him as a tight end (if I'm not mistaken which i could be) & realize that his talent lies at a different position , take him under a nurturing wing and show him that his true potential lies at a different position of which he becomes one of the best at & what does he do ???
He holds out not once but 2 different seasons during OTA's & such & i for one thinks may have elongated a couple of so called injuries in a preseason to get his point across . Then when the opportunity arises rather than working out or at least going to the Bills FO & seeing if they can give a counter offer or at least one that would be of equal status he bolts for the big bucks (greed wins again) but charma has come around to bite him right in the ass !!
I know there are a few others but with that i will leave it up to the rest of you to see what your thoughts are of others & of my picks for
"The Biggest Bills Creeps of All Time"

We are all quite aware of the wildly succesfull free agency period and draft the Bills have had this off season.
But where do my fellow posters think they have come up short. Or made the incorrect choice. My only disagreement with there moves was to let D. Florence go and keep Mcgee. Why? Simple Florence was able to stay healthy and on the field. If Mcgee is healthy he is a better player. This is my only beef.
Well you have to think of it like this . Mcgee although hurt a lot in the past , when healthy is the best we have had in that position , so doesn't it make more sense to keep him around (being the best when healthy) not to mention being a life long Bills player & letting a guy go that is good but inconsistent at best to teach the rookies ?
This way if Mcgee gets hurt & is ultimately cut before the season b/c he gets hurt again or just isn't 100% at the start of the season , at least the Bills have kept the best possible mentor around to pass on veteran knowledge to the rookie class of the past 2 years that will be the corp of this team for the next 4 to 5 years !!
The only other thing that i can see where we may have fallen a bit short is the WR pick in the 3rd ?? I hope that Graham can become what the team envisioned him to be , or that Marcus Easley can become that person , which with his size & speed & the investment of 2 yrs already made by the team he is my horse in this race
! I just hope that if Easley does become our entrenched #2 WR that he remembers come contract time that the Bills paid him 2 years salary while he was trying to get his health issues in line & shows a bit of loyalty to the Bills for it rather than getting healthy , doing great things at his position & then being a Willis Mcgahee type & bolting while bad mouthing the team for better money .. What a creep !!!

Seeing as how he was a 7th round pick out of Harvard behind Marc Bulger and Jamie Martin, then went to Cinci to back up Carson Palmer then came here to backup future hall of famer Trentative Edwards, maybe the backup QBs mechanics werent the highest priority to the coaches.
Lots of QBs have bad mechanics. Its not uncommon. The ones with the best mechanics arent the best at the game. Ask Trent and Brian Brohm how much mechanics have made them successful QBs. Be Happy that Fitz is continuing to get better rather than rest on his fancy contract
Well all that you said is well & good & more than likely has some substance to it , but if we learn by example & the example is the best in the NFL , those being the obvious - Brady , Manning , & Brees then i think he should have been motivated to find some one to help him long before now . Especially seeing as he has been in the NFL for a while now ..
Teabow noticed & did something to help his mechanics ! Brady had his college coach that he called after every game to tell him what he did wrong & hooked up with him every off season . So to sit back & say that he didn't know how to fix it or what ever it may be at this level of competition doesn't really show a winning mentality ! But let's hope that with Lee now fixing what is wrong with his mechanics Fitz will realize what it takes to be the winner we need in B/lo !!!

I've got 3 words for any one that doubts a late round pick !!
TOM BRADY ANYONE ????????????????????

With the possibility of looking to the future for a QB & seeing that Russell had fallen so far in the draft , then you add to it what the guy did in college i thought that drafting him was a no brainer ???
But i guess i wasn't thinking along the same lines as Nix & company , but IMHO i think it would have been smarter to take a player like him than the kicker we took , not to mention that he could have done Brad Smiths job for a lot less money !!!
Go Figure ??
