I was born and raised in Ohio and have been a lifelong Buckeye fan. With that said, I've had the opportunity to watch quite a few of his games. Here are some of my observations: The guy has moxy. He's humbly confident, but not overly arrogant. He's even keel. He does not seem to get easily shaken when things go wrong. He's an easy going jokester. He definitely comes from the Rex Ryan "family tree" He's still a little bit immature (which is not surprising for a young guy). With that said, it's not difficult to see the Urban Meyer influence. He knows how to carry himself and is also well aware of what to say and what not to say to the press. The dude has a rocket for an arm. It is elite. He throws a pretty good deep ball and has an affinity for the big plays. He's not quick, but he's not slow. He's like a bowling bowl barreling down the lane. He doesn't go down easily. Reminds me a little bit of Roethlisberger. He's inconsistent. The offense would stall, largely due to his inconsistent (in)accuracy. He's a roller coaster to follow. One minute you love him for his guts and big play ability. Another minute, you want him benched for missing a wide open wide receiver. He's built for more of a pro style offense than an Urban Meyer offense. Meyer likes a legitimate dual threat QB. Cardale can run if he has to but is not a dual threat QB. He can lead, but comparatively, is not the natural born leader that J.T. Barrett is. His teammates seemed to rally around J.T. more than Cardale.

just checked out jwill's highlights. the dude is a downhill beast with great shiftiness and vision. he fights through arm tackles and refuses to go down easily. for running a 4.59, he seems to have very deceptive game speed and didn't have an issue breaking away from defenders. i love his playing style and think he'll be a great addition to the bills. i wasn't initially a huge fan of adding a running back in the 5th due to our depth but am now very happy to have this guy in buffalo.

Ohio State Football 2x (2002, 2014), Cincinnati Reds (1990)

ESPN has Sammy Watkins listed as the #30 WR and #73 overall player for 2014 Fantasy Football. Too high? Too low? or Just Right? Link

No official bills app for windows phone?!

I think that Accountability is just one factor, but an important one at that. It helps create the environment of excellence. Here's what I think of when referring to accountability: It means that players are held to high standards both on and off the field. It means not accepting Rolando McClain and Titus Young incidents. It means that they are expected to show up to the team in shape and ready to go. It means practicing hard, going full throttle until the whistle blows, not taking plays off, and not giving a weak effort when things aren't going your way.

Doug Whaley referred to the "Steeler Way" as being a mindset where failure is not an option (paraphrase). My observations of One Bills Drive (Brandon, Whaley, Marrone) is that this is the "new norm" for the Bills. Obviously, there is still a lot to prove, but there seems to be a greater emphasis on high expectations and accountability than there was in the past. As an avid Ohio State Buckeye fan, I sense some parallels between Urban Meyer's standards of excellence and Doug Marrone's. Here's to hoping that I'm right.

The Bills have targeted 5 primary positions with their pre-draft visits - QB, WR, LB (OLB/ILB), S, TE. Ideally, if you were to pick one of each position in the first 5 rounds, what order would you pick them? Based on what I perceive to be the value and depth of the various positions, my order would probably look something like this: LB QB WR TE S

from Ohio, currently in Illinois. been a bills fan since bills vs redskins super bowl. stuck with them ever since.

The goal of the poll is to take into account all of the current factors (including both players' ages, contracts, potential, etc.). You have to identify what you get with Brad Smith vs. the potential of what you could have with Terrelle Pryor.

Who would you rather have on the Bills roster...Terrelle Pryor or Brad Smith? Last week's poll results: Chan Gailey: 93% Todd Haley: 7%

Who would you rather have leading your team...Chan Gailey or Todd Haley? Last week's poll results: Jahvid Best: 24% CJ Spiller: 76%

Who would you rather have on your team...Jahvid Best or CJ Spiller? Last week's poll results: Paul Posluszny: 13% Nick Barnett: 87%

I apologize if this has been discussed before but thought that Bills vs. Jags would be a great time to renew the Poz vs. Barnett debate (more weekly debates to come). Which LB do you prefer?
