I think the heart of any team on both sides of the ball are the lines. To me the QB should be the brains. In saying that I think our offensive line has played not just good but borderline great. We run the ball and protect the QB we are 4th in the league in rushing yards and 4th in yds/carry. And like another poster stated we are tied for first in sacks allowed. I tried to find where we stack up in QB hurries allowed but couldn't.
So within those stats manifests our debate. Is it Fitz or our lack of talent at WR? The easy answer is to say it's some of both but I hope the FO knows. Because we are faced with a tough decision. Do we go after one of the very talented QB's coming out or do we draft a WR? I totally understand the argument to do neither and go after a pass rusher, which is going to make things very interesting. I'm personally undecided with a lean towards giving up on Fitz and getting a QB, but I don't know if the FO will do it. To me until you have a franchise QB that's your biggest need. Call me impatient but I'm not sure I want to wait 3 years to figure out Fitz isn't the guy.
There's absolutely zero evidence supporting your theory. Nothing more than speculation. I'm not sure how your example of our GM not having anything to do with a trade supports what your claiming.
Did I say you did? Relax. Are you naive enough to not realize this debate is always lined with vitriol?
All you did was "ask who was better"? Yeah ok. That's like saying all I did was ask if we should have kept Maybin. I think you need to take a bit more responsibility than that.
They are completely different running backs. Second Spiller doesn't have the body of work to compare to Jackson, so it's speculation not a comparison. I don't get why it has to be such an ugly debate either. The only name calling debate should be if Lynch enters this argument, but both of these guys are on our team. Why would that be an "I told you so" discussion?
I totally agree. I'd rather stick with Chan if the options aren't one of the top tier coaches. Of course this can be predetermined by contacting these coaches agents. My assumption will be that if Chan is here next year, it wasn't possible to land one of the big names, and I would agree with that decision. The only other scenario that seems realistic is if Ralph were to pass (which I do not believe in hoping for this), I would think the new ownership would clean house.
This teams greatest need is QB. If you don't have a franchise QB it's always your biggest need. We don't need to win for moral, we need to lose to have an opportunity at one of this years QB crop.
Not even close. This one stat doesn't support that. I for one think Miami is in much more shambles than we are and have been, among other teams like Jax, Browns, KC, St. louis, Vikings, Washington. I wouldn't take any of these teams over ours.
Why should he retire? He lost dignity with you for being injury prone? Why would the Bills fans be honored if he retired a Bill, what would that mean to anyone? This post is absurd.
If you don't have one, an "Elite" QB is always what you need. You might not NEED one to be competitive, but you surely do to win a super bowl. I'd also argue there's more than 2 or maybe 3 elite QB's. Just for argument sake Brees, Brady, and Rodgers are three, who's the maybe?
I'm not trying to get you upset or anything, but I just don't understand how "Crush these thumbtacks, go Bills" adds any value or is interesting to read.
You don't win by having more guys that are top 5 at their position than other teams. I'd have to go through each roster but I would say 95% of the teams don't have more than 5 guys that are the top 5 at their position.
