Then why didn't all of the other teams jump at the chance to steal him away for peanuts?

So most here think that Whaley has committed a fireable offense in blundering MG's RFA status by not tendering him at Round 2. Why is it that NO OTHER TEAM submitted an offer sheet for him up until this point? If we so clearly undervalued him, would not all of the other much savvier GMs have jumped at the chance to acquire this talent at such a deep, deep discount?

What do you predict their record will be if they retain MG?

Riddle me this: If putting the Original Round (5) Tender on MG was so absurdly fire-him-on-the-spot-stupid, why didn't the other 30 NFL teams race to put in an offer sheet?

MG turned out to be a better football player than any other team in the NFL thought. He also landed in perhaps the best possible scenario (elite run team with an injury-prone starter). Performed nicely for us. Would be fine keeping him. Would also trade him straight up for a 5th round pick every day of the week. You guys need to get over this Patriots god complex. No, Bill Belichick doesn't sit around devising creative ways to make you suffer. They have had the best QB in the history of the NFL for the last 15 years. Not coincidentally, they've been the best team in the NFL for the last 15 years. This too shall pass, and they'll most likely be back to garbage tier with the rest of us don't-have-a-all-time-great-QB teams.

To put it another way, do you want your backup RB having your team's 10th highest cap number? And, you need to give up a 5th rounder as well? Sounds like a coup from Whaley, to be honest.

If you think our free agent scrap heap signing backup RB is worth $4m and a 5th round pick, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree.

Love how everyone talks about his obvious deficiencies. Defensive player of the year in the best conference, unquestioned defensive leader of the literal National Champion, but yah obv. no good lol.

Just gotta play solid D. Don't need to sell out here. Tons of time left.

Super deflating.

BAILOUT!

Time for a huge shady run

Yeldon time.

As long as the Jags play off EJ's first read, we'll see the magic continue.

Heck, I didn't even know he was a youngish black dude before this year's draft cycle. Just assumed he was a middle aged, overweight white guy. Show me the baby.

It amazes me that the "gay dudes make me puke" and the "gay dudes kissing are trying to turn my kid gay" crowd can't see how hilariously backward they are. Seriously, you are the people that were against black people using your drinking fountain. You are the people that were against women being able to vote. Bigoted, closed-minded people like you have been, and will continue to be on the wrong side of history. 40 years from now, people will look back and laugh at your antiquated, simpleton views with the same disdain they have for the misogynists and the racists. They will roll their eyes at you and feel sympathy for how dumb and sad you must have been while trying to look back and imagine how people could have possibly been so silly in the olden days.

What a blowout.

Perhaps this draft confirms what we probably knew all along: Syracuse was a pretty mediocre football team with pretty mediocre players in a pretty mediocre conference.

Well, we might not like it, but more often than not the guys that are beasts on the field are beasts period. More beasts please.

I love that we actually pick defensive players that have character issues. News flash: being a little bit savage is better than having a defense filled with high motor character guys.

Sorry, but this is highly misleading and pretty much a lie. Every scouting service I've found has had him listed as a late second or third round guy with upside because the knocks are character and not athletic. Haven't found one that has a 5th round grade on him (possibly the Hug A Kitten Character-First scouting service?). Consensus was either the third or fourth rated ILB in the draft behind Ogletree and Te'o and possibly Bostic. Arthur Brown is going to play OLB due to his lack of size. If the Bills felt they needed an ILB (not a huge stretch), they got either the highest rated ILB available or the second highest rated ILB with upside. Burn them!

He'll obviously be picked tonight, he is just trolling you guys. Te'o didn't make an impact in the BCS Championship, but the entire team was outclassed. Frankly, from the video and watching every play that was posted, I came out of that thinking that he played better than I've heard reported. That defense as a unit played like garbage. He was a Heisman contender for a reason - sure he played some amazing games against weak competition and some amazing games against good competition, some average ones, and an inopportune poor one. I don't think the Bills should draft him, but he's going to be picked tonight and most people denigrate him now because of the whole catfish situation and the strong suspicion that he's homosexual.

Didn't read through the whole thread, but the OP has no idea how gambling works. Vegas has nothing to do with being right or wrong, they merely set the line to attract half of the action on any bet to both sides. They don't win by "being right", they win by setting a line that entices half to take each side, to guarantee their profit by the vig or juice. The more you know. Edit: The Bills have no chance to make the playoffs. Do you really watch these games and see a playoff team? Come on.

Ahh. I figured the team had a jet, but charters make sense. Was more looking to see if there would be some traffic from the Detroit area, for a Ralph sighting. Not sure what his health status is though, to even know if travel is an option for him presently.

Does anyone have the tail number for the Bills' private jet? This would be good information to have moving forward and Google is failing me. Even aircraft type would help find it, since we know roughly when Mario came in originally.
