He might be able to play corner, but that's someone with a safety's mentality.

Not only is "Stop hiring who "you know", when others have much better track" ridiculous, it's also not true. His entire defensive staff are people he didn't "know", because they have a "track record". So you don't want him to hire anyone he knows? Do you have a history of working with Mike? “No, but I have admired his work for a number of years and his reputation in this league is impeccable. Mike comes highly recommended from a number of sources, both within and outside the NFL.”

No weapon, weep weep. No weapon, weep weep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I can't stand Ray Lewis.

I think you make valid points towards an argument against him, but I just think the broad stroke of looking at history of MAC QB's is shortsided. IMO, saying his team didn't win, so he can't play in the NFL is over simplifying the process.

But the same argument can be made in reverse. We can all reference winning record QB's from major conferences that haven't had success in the NFL. It's about breaking down the individual, not the history of MAC QB's.

How much cap space do you think we have? You've got about $50 million in FA signings listed here after Byrd and Levitre, so you must think we have nearly $65 million.

We've debated this before. C'mon man, I showed you a couple areas where you at least had to think about changing your position on him. Plus how the hell do you say "anybody that has watched him play and knows what they're talking about know that he's terrible, but I'd draft him in the fourth round"? You don't take anybody you think is terrible in the fourth round.

This is going to be a difficult situation for the Bills FO. I think the only way we keep Levitre is to tag him for one more season. He mentioned he wasn't offered a contract, which can sound like the Bills haven't done anything, but could it be his agent didn't ask for one? I think it's going to be a long negotiation with Byrd, which may force a tag to be necessary to continue to work on it next year, which could cause Levitre to walk.

I never understand why we keep asking this question. There isn't anything that can be learned. The fact is coaches fail in groves coming from everywhere. There's only one true formula : Get an excellent QB, a competent coach, and hope the chemistry between them is strong.

No way he comes that cheap.

I think most of us would like to have him back. I think the OP is trying to find out if we want him back compared to what it would cost. My guess is it would be somewhere in the 5-6 million per year range to keep him. Something like 3 years 16-18 million, with 6 million guaranteed. At that price point I'm on the fense with a slight lean towards letting him go. Do you guys think my projection is high?

Cut Fitz, resign T. Jackson to a one year deal, and trade back into the late 1st round and draft Zac Dysert.

"This defense still calls upon a pass rusher on the line of scrimmage" I think it's going to cost some money, but signing Kyle Moore is going to prove to be very important. Obviously Byrd and Levitre will get most of the attention by fans, and should, but I'd be as disappointed if Moore leaves.

Anderson is a tackle?

10 Free Agents? That's a tall order.

Tough to say probable, after all there are many teams looking for a QB. I'd say if the Bills are serious about getting a QB, they are going to have to come back into the late first round to pass all those teams ahead of us. The ones that will pass on a QB with their first round pick.

Yes there is, Buffalo New York.

You don't even have the Qb I think the Bills should draft in the 2nd round Zac Dysert being drafted?

I'm not sure that happened this year. Only three teams wanted to meet with him out of 7 this year. I agree teams will be calling, but jobs like the Eagles don't open up often. Of course no one knows if he just made the decision to go back. The Bills quickly moved on after the interview, it was either because they felt he wasn't interested or they chose to not pursue him. Unlike most, I believe it's possible the Bills said nah.

Here's my speculation. I love a coach that has that confident way they carry themselves, and I think Chip has that. I wonder if it turned to arrogance. I think he may have went on these interviews thinking he was interviewing the teams. I think the all the sudden business like Bills were far too serious to bother with him and the Eagles don't strike me as an organazition to beg for anyone. He was then left with Cleveland and said oh crap I better reconsider.

You're the rude one. You make people read your post without the coutesy of seeing if someone else made the same post. Waisting the folks readings time. What's snotty is saying I don't have to read every post to see if this has been said, I'm so important they can just read it again from me if it had.

I disagree. I think Nix built a talented team with excellent depth through the draft, keeping our own talent, and very little free agency signings. Gailey didn't build an identity and mesh it.

I live in Charlotte NC where there are a plethora of NC State grads. They are shocked Glennon is getting this kind of attention, because he is scared to throw deep. They say he can throw the ball 75 yards, but choses to throw it 5 too much.

I don't want him. I think his overly dramatic delivery gets old and players start tunning it out. Cliche statements amusing for tv, but I want someone a bit more serious.

Yeah the other 15 people that mentioned him in this thread want him back too.
