[The Eagles reveal that it will take at least a top 42 pick]

No way; and only if he signs an extension, which he won't do in Buffalo.

[Jimmy Clausen PFW scouting report]

as for the comparisons to JP Losman....who knows, if Losman would have had Chan Gailey maybe he would have turned a corner at some point. He didn't, we all know that....QBs need surroundings - coaching / line / talent, etc

 

 

TULANE DOES NOT EQUAL NOTRE DAME...Clausen has been under the microscope for a while now and has evolved a bit.

 

Arguing with yourself?

[Un-BILL-ievable]

Yeah, ignore the elephant in the room AGAIN.

 

BTW, that means address the trenches, early and often

[Jimmy Clausen PFW scouting report]

he is cut from the same cloth as Rex Grossman and J.P. Losman

 

All I needed to read.

 

 

Link, please!!!!!!!!!!!! Reading this in this format would make me go completely blind. And you ought to be linking anyway when you take something from a site.

 

What's the problem? This guy did us a favor by typing this all in. I'll be buying the PFW book once it hits the stands, but I for one appreciate the sneak preview.

[Where has the time gone?]

A very nice read, Tipster. It struck more than one harmonic on this old guitar...

 

Same here. I've been away from Buffalo for awhile now, but started a family tradition of visiting for the home opener every season, which has been going strong ever since I left. The Bills bring my family and friends together, much moreso than if we didn't share this common bond. In some cases, I still see friends who grew up on my block or went to high school with that I probably wouldn't ever see otherwise.

[Who's to say the Bills won't be competetive this year?]

I fear the OLB position for 2010 will be akin to what happened for the OL in 2009. They had an asinine plan in the first place, after getting rid of Peters, to switch Walker over to LT, then cut him before the season. And moving Butler out, before the injury of course, wasn't a great move either, and the injury only exacerbated that decision. They did at least invest wisely on the interior.

 

If they proceed with the current plan at OLB and again choose not to address the position in the draft like they ignored the Tackle position last year (hello, Oher), it will probably play out similarly at OLB this season. I have about 0% confidence that Maybin, Kelsay, Schobel (if he even returns) or Ellis is equipped to make the transition. And they really have nothing else behind that, other than maybe moving some inside guys out. That makes this a high priority in April.

 

C'mon Buddy, I know you're smarter than last years crew. At least build that D up with a NT and OLB. Sprinkle in a LT. Do this with our first 3 picks. We'll probably have to make due with what's on the roster at QB, but add your scatback and throw in a WR, and we can be well on the road to recovery if you can truly pick out "football" players as well as we think you can.

[UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos]

If the Bills draft him anywhere before the 3rd, we'll be called suckers. Anyone else takes him in the 1st or 2nd, they'll be geniuses. Gotta love ESPN.

[Where are they now?: Matt Stevens]

Wow, I had no idea. I remember when we drafted him in the 3rd round, he was supposedly rated as a first round talent, but he slipped (was it due to injury?) Also, didn't he have like a modeling gig off the field and Fabio hair? I seem to remember the ladies of TBD taking a liking to him. Anyways, I enjoyed his play in Buffalo. Wish him the best.

[Ellis or Maybin at olb]

[UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos]

What is it about this story that you find so awesome?

 

 

Okay. What's so hilarious about it?

 

Doesn't this belong over in the all Tebow, all the time thread? Jesus.

[UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos]

What makes you think my panties are all twisted up?

 

You keep asking him the same question, when he's already answered it. You don't find it hilarious. We get it. No go straighten out those panties.

[WOW, Kudos Allen Wilson]

its a figure of speech, like son, or hoss, or chief, or boss, bro, man, dude, etc

 

example: I'll tell ya what, boy, wr may be an unknown but it sure isnt a hole.

 

Not where I come from, but hey, whatever.

[UPDATED: Tim Tebow, QB, Denver Broncos]

Okay. What's so hilarious about it?

 

Don't get your panties all twisted up.

[WOW, Kudos Allen Wilson]

needing to bring in some depth is different from a huge hole boy.

 

How nice you have a son on the board.

[WOW, Kudos Allen Wilson]

even more funny are the claims that we have a huge hole at WR, and have to take one early.

 

Even funnier is Spiller at #9 Sounds like we'll be addressing the trenches early and often. I like it.

[WOW, Kudos Allen Wilson]

Yeah, it's funny how some were claiming we're "deep" at Guard, when in fact if Wood can't go (and there's a good chance he won't be able to), we're in sorry shape.

[New update on Wood and other info]

how did he only get three questions answered in 15 minutes?

 

You ever hear Nix talk before?

["Hell no... I'm going to bed." - Buddy Nix]

Confirms what we've long suspected of the geritol crowd.

[Holmgren speaks about clausen]

Clausen will be gone before the Bills pick

 

I really hope you're right.

[Aaron Maybin hanging with McGahee in Miami]

I don't like our #1 draft pick, posing in a thong for a swimsuit magazine!

 

Me thinks you doth protest too much

[Aaron Maybin hanging with McGahee in Miami]

And the Sabres were in town, but he didn't go to the game decked out in Ryan Miller gear to show support. He obviously hates Buffalo, and the USA.

[Look what Donte is up to now]

And?

 

And he should be working out, preparing for the upcoming season of course

[Aaron Maybin hanging with McGahee in Miami]

I hope he gets cut or injured this year!

 

Thank you for documenting and confirming what we already thought of you.

[I was at UF Pro Day]

As opposed to calling yourself "Mr. Wonderful" and chastising a guy for liking football. Put down the Cheetos, get off the waterbed, wade through the garbage and get some air, for everyone's sake.

 

He's a douche, and has been called out on it, practically unanimously. The true measure of his character is that he's been around, but won't acknowledge he was a douche, which makes him an even bigger douche.
