Interesting that the article talked about how the new GM needed to man up and eat the dead salary to not put the team at a competitive disadvantage. Sounds like the same choice facing Whaley with Mark Anderson...and he found the stones to cut him before training camp even kicked off. Kudos to Whaley for being a real GM - a GM who puts not having to eat dead money over being competitive is not going to be long on the job.

That jersey can't possibly be correct - the collar doesn't have the "flywire" at all. I'm pretty sure that every NFL jersey has the flywire, one color or another. That looks like the $100 ones you get on NFL.com...the "limited" jerseys.

Wow, there is a serious fallacy rampant on this board. EJ, Barkley, and Nassib are not all equal. Just because ESPN told you that doesn't mean it is true. Did you hear McShay (the dumbest guy in any room he is in) backtrack on Nassib yesterday??? Said he was really a late 2nd to 4th round guy that everyone just bumped up because of "the obvious bills connection." So even ESPN is now backing off their claim that all three were equal. EJ was far better. Just because no one traded up for Nassib or Barkley doesn't mean no one would have for EJ. Jax would have, Arizona might have (the guy is a lot like Big Ben), Eagles would have. Guys, I am the first to criticize Jerry Sullivan, but go read his article from Friday. Best one I have read on the Bills choosing EJ. The Bills finally took a QB who puts them on the cutting edge of what the NFL is now in terms of Offesive Scheming, instead of being 2 or 3 steps behind. If we don' get EJ and settle for Barkley or Nassib, that would show business as usual at OBD, and we would be bidding our time til the next coaching change.

No way we take Te'o in first round. Our front office/coach are trying to prove that the Bills aren't a joke, and taking Te'o with the 8th overall pick would do just the opposite. I'm actually shocked that Astro's projection would still even have him going in the first. I would bet good money he doesn't.

The clowns at CBSSPORTS.com ranked us 7 of 7, so glad to see that the NFL.com guys at least spent 20 seconds reviewing the level of bills talent before determining that because the bills have no QB they must be the worst. Cuz the Cards have an awesome QB situation, amirite??

Seriously Josh Freeman would be the best QB in Buffalo since Kelly. One can only hope we'd make a run at him, and anyone who thinks differently is delusional regarding the QB options available this year via draft or free agency,

I hate that people use a "hit rate" to determine how good pundits are at prognosticating draft order - the reality is that the draft is usually impossible to predict after the first few picks due to one "surprise" pick making every pick after that a miss (i.e., if a team trades up, they likely have a need different than the team picking, so, once they pick that "wrong" player for the spot, that pushes the good player back, which, when that good player is picked, will push another good player back, etc.). This domino effect which ensures that one wrong prediction equates to dozens of missed picks down the line basically makes "hit rate" as a determination of skill at predicting the draft completely irrelevant. As surprise picks are often due to impossible to predict actions, like trades, or GMs falling in love with a player they used to coach (or something like that), and one surprise pick voids whole draft predictions, it seems to me that "hit rate" is pretty much all luck. Now, of course, Mel saying that Barnett can't play weak side is a much bigger strike against his credibility...

Lol, weren't you the one with the "bad feeling" last night who claimed "i've never been wrong when I have this feeling?" Guess you all got some things to learn about gut checks up north! Sadly, I'll remember where I was too - in my fricking cube at work.

Wow, tearing up. Buffalo, welcome back. It's been a long time. Time to visit Vegas before odds change on Bills winning AFC East.

Don't underestimate the way this will be seen by ESPN and all other sports reporting vehicles. This will be seen as the rebirth of the Bills back to respectability. Like I said earlier, the impact of this will be so significant that any amount of money given to Super Mario is worth it. This is the Bills coming back.

Lies and slander.

I really need to follow more Bills types on twitter. I just have Tim Graham and Schefter - and they are making me wait forever to hear anything about anything. I followed Stevie J for awhile...but it was too much - and I couldn't open twitter at work while following him!

Money doesn't matter. What this means for Buffalo is way beyond anything so common place as money. This is more like - welcome back to relevancy Buffalo.

Good discussion for my first post, lol. Anyone in the central-MD area, we all meet at Nottingham's bar in Columbia. Bar food is average, but we get a whole back room to ourselves, with a big screen tv with sound. The organizers bring Bills flags, Bills table runners, and even a stereo with the "Shout" song on it. Come on by if you are in the area and need a place to watch the game. The group of people is top-notch!
