  1. Partially correct. The Bills offensive line shuffling started with releasing Dockery who had signed the richest OG contract in the NFL just 2 years before. One Bills Drive filed the paperwork late and wound up owing Dockery a multi-million dollar bonus before cutting him in a rare instance of severance pay in the NFL. Then they traded LT Jason Peters to the Eagles, who I understand went on to have a nice little career for himself. They moved starting RT Langston Walker from right to the left side to fill the hole left by Peters. Then they cut Walker and promoted Demetrius Bell to play LT who would later find out his name is actually Demetress. It was an offseason to remember.
  2. Which teams removed Shaq from their draft boards?
  3. These are pretty serious allegations. If Matthews, Harrison, and Peppers have ties to terrorist organizations it could look very bad for the NFL. Especially since the NFL has strong ties with the US Military.
  4. If there is anyone who could spend a decade in prison and come out having learned, picked up, or retained not a thing, its this kid.
  5. Your grandfather died in 1992. I'm not going to explain this to you again.
  6. @RealAdamSchefter 2m According to sources close to him, @NickBarnett has been having regular conversations about his long distance plan and his level of satisfaction with his cable provider. He is NOT considering a return to football, he just wants to OBD to call him because he's so so lonely.
  7. What??? Explain yourself.
  8. I'd forfeit and save our team for a run in 2017. If Whaley has any sense he'll redshirt Cardale this year and not let him accrue a year of eligibility on is contract.
  9. When you really stop and think about a veteran defense and all the benefits of having one, it kinda makes you wonder why we even draft rookies in the first place.
  10. I think it happened when all of our rookies and draft picks were declared medically DOA.
  11. Seriously. The good posters should not be engaging the troll. Let me do it.
  12. Yeah you were. And rightfully so.
  13. I think he meant tooten may bee two 5 or two ten maybe too five. Possibly tooenmay beetwofive.
  14. I don't think the example helps your case.
  15. That right there, well that's hindsight. Picking players who could have been had years after the draft. And as for disciple, see the second definition. What is it about that word that upsets you and Chan? Going postal? By all means, dissect away. This should be fun. You are out of your depth. dis·ci·ple dəˈsīpəl/ noun a personal follower of Jesus during his life, especially one of the twelve Apostles. synonyms: apostle, follower "the disciples of Jesus" a follower or student of a teacher, leader, or philosopher.
  16. I don't have an issue with hindsight as long as its applied consistently and both the failures and successes are accounted for. Your disciple FireChan tried to dismiss my argument as hindsight while supporting yours, which is why I called it out.
  17. I don't know. Baseless speculation isn't my area of expertise. Relative order or rank is one thing. How many different answers do you think you'd get regarding each player's ceiling and potential, risk, and floor?
  18. It was bought by Sports Illustrated and now partners with CNN. Not sure if Bleacher Report got better or CNN is sliding toward TMZ or both, though.
  19. Every team did compared to the modern era. Brad May could throw with the best of them too.
  20. BADOL's whole argument was predicated on hindsight. What numbers are there to look at when you're assuming that one extremely subjective and nearly impossible to define metric like "high potential" pans out more frequently than another extremely subjective and nearly impossible to define metric like "low potential"? What was the "potential" gap between Woods and Patterson, Hunter, and Austin?
  21. Or maybe the ceiling was incorrectly identified all along. Or maybe you should pay attention to the floor in these scenarios (i.e., risk). That's what I said. He focuses on when it works out and those instances where its clearly worth the risk. What about when it isn't worth the risk? What about when the safe pick crushes it? You can't base your draft philosophy on the success stories while ignoring the other side of the coin. Why don't I tell you the story of Qualcomm, Google, Facebook as evidence of how buying tech stocks is the way to get super rich? We won't talk about the dotcom crash. We won't mention all the failures. Assuming risk isn't inherently good, despite what I'm reading here.
  22. Self-transformation could take years, cost thousands in self-help books and therapy, and its hardly guaranteed to work. On the flipside, I can buy a pair robins egg blue shorts online in 5 minutes for $50. Hmmmm...stop being such an insufferable prick or buy new pastel shorts? Wow, that's a tough one....idiot.
  23. Which is why those wacky few of us who intend to be in the company of women are paying attention. Because posting up at the nearest Hooters after the hot rod show just isn't the same.
  24. Woods didn't (and doesn't) have the height or blazing speed that scouts get enamored with. You know, that Tavon Austin, Cordarelle Patterson, and Justin Hunter type athleticism that scouts covet. We can play this game all day and look at who was selected after our guy. The same game works with 31 other NFL teams too. BADOL has a point, in a bubble, but fails to acknowledge how often players who just need a little "polish" fail to materialize. I doubt he'd take it easy on Whaley for drafting a bunch of first day projects that didn't pan out. Especially if solid no brainer types were on the board.
