Why did Whaley trade for Bryce Brown last year on draft weekend? Investing more (and perhaps higher) resources doesn't fit within established NFL trends. Essentially, that teams don't devote much to RB's.
He made a mistake.

Clausen was a 2nd rd pick that was given up on in his 2nd season. I don't see it. I think Eli Manning is a better comparison.

It seems like a few schools do it right. Stanford, the ones Yolo mentioned, but if I'm a QB who wants to play in the pro's (and play well), I've got very few options. Not some big names like USC, Florida, Florida state... It seems like there has to be a reason we haven't seen a paradigm shift in offensive philosophy, is their a college rule I don't know about that is keeping this spread stuff alive? Why would a good HS QB go to one of these schools that won't have him pro ready?
I'd say USC is a probably the best option. FSU will have their last two starting QB's taken in the 1st rd.
College coaches are under the same circumstances as pro guys. Short time to prove a recruit is the right guy. Look at Texas A&M they had a top recruit transfer to SMU in Matt Davis, Kenny Hill will leave after tearing it up for a few games. Now they've got Kyle Allen and the top QB recruit coming in. One is a a Freshman the other a Soph, one will leave. Coaches on both levels can't develop guys. Win now or get fired.

Hoyer is significantly worse than Orton.

Running backs have no value maybe take one late. Taking one in the 2nd rd is throwing away a pick.

The only answers that one could give in this poll and not expose the fact that they have no historical context and do not understand the game of football whatsoever, are Montana, Brady, unitas or I suppose the nobody option. I don't care about manning's beautiful mind or Marino's rocket arm. To get inside the big boy room you need the hardware. That's it.
Elway has some hardware.

It'll be Buffalo or Pittsburgh in New England to start the season on Thursday night.

You get a chance to put the ball in Ricardo Lockette's hands you do it. It was a horrible play call. Carroll's explanation was laughable. I think he was biting the bullet for Beavell. Good luck with him getting a job.
I don't get going shotgun on the half yard line.
-
If it's between trading a 7th rd pick or drafting a guy from BYU whose 25 maybe.
-
Teams lose good players. Good teams more good players. With that said Brown, Alonso, and Watkins have played 1 season. I'd be more worried about Watkins and Woods if they get a decent QB by the time they're up.

Doesn't he get to pour his own drinks at Applebees?

I was thinking probably not bringing Spiller back but when you check the FA runningbacks, not so fast. Gore is 31, Murray likely going back to Dallas, Mathews coming off an injury and rest are filler - terrible choices. Spill might be back
From Jerrah Jones on the potential re-signing of Bryant and Murray, “Is it possible? Yes,” owner Jerry Jones recently explained. “But if you just look at it from the standpoint of dollars and cents, it probably doesn’t look reasonable.”
Running backs aren't gonna be given the big money they got in the past. If it's between Bryant and Murray I think Dallas keeps Bryant.
-
He has fumble issues with the Eagles too. He never did much in college either. He's had like 2 games of good play in his career. I don't get it. spiller is such a far superior back.
Brown has had 3 games in 39 and in one of the games he fumbled twice. So he has that going for him.

The real question is Free Agency, Draft, or Status Quo for the Bills assuming his departure
Bryce Brown isn't good enough to be in the league. I expect Spiller gone but they're gonna have to bring somebody in. RB's have no value just sign a udfa or use a late round pick.

foles is 14-4 I believe under Kelly. For what its worth was a pro bowler last year and I believe was MVP. he is what 26. Chip Kelly does not follow the Bills past coaching tree(s) with players or philophsy. meaning he is the innovative coach Marrone was supposed to be. That said Even though he (Kelly) may covet Mariotta who he coached for only one year. i doubt he unlike some front office staffers in the league would put all his chips in on Mariotta. Foles isn't going anywhere if anything he sits on the bench. he is a Prospect that many teams would like on their team. kelly and the Eagles can make QB's look average at worst.
Kelly's record without Foles starting isn't good.
GM's are afraid to draft QB's. Miss on a CB early and oh well. Miss on A QB early and they usually get fired.

Good thing the GB defender gave himself up after the int.
-
Why does everyone think Connor Cook is so good? I mean, he's definitely a top 10 pick next year, but he's not a "once in a decade" type talent like Andrew Luck. I've watched him plenty this year. Am I missing something?
Is he definitely a top 10 pick next year? Brett Hundley was definitely a top 15 pick before this season, Matt Barkley was definitely a top 10 pick going into his SR season.

RGIII had a little success out of the gate, now teams have film on him- took away what he likes to do. It's on him to make an adjustment - lots of stories on him being a pain in the ass as well. In short we know where RG's ceiling is and it's not very high. EJ may never get off the ground but his potential is higher and he's not a locker room cancer.
EJ is a much more gifted passer then RG or Kaep or Russ Wilson but there is more to the game than just throwing it
Manuel isn't as talented nor a more gifted passer than any of them and I don't think Bob Griffin or Kaep are very good.

If the Pegulas talked to Jon Gruden for advice -- he told them to hire Hue...not saying this happened but I think Gruden would have told them that EJ can develop and that Hue would be the best coach to put EJ in situations to succeed.
I think Jon Gruden is a good coach. On MNF it seems he is afraid to say anything but every player is good. To me it sounds like he's afraid to criticize anyone because he's gonna be a HC again at some point. If his opinion is the same it is on MNF I'd trust a blind person above him. If he analyzed like he was gonna be a coach again then I'd believe him.
Gruden is one name that's not been brought up but taking him off MNF and as coach of the Bills is a double win.

When Vick went to the clink the Falcons were as big of a mess as there was in sports. Dimitroff has to get some credit. They were an elite team when they traded for Jones so I don't hold that against him.
-
This isn't real. Weis was fired from Kansas. Maybe they are considering this bum as the OC but no prayer he ever lands another HC gig anywhere.
He's trying to take the Chan Gailey route to getting another head coaching gig.
-
Weren't the Bills one of the only teams to use a kickoff specialist?

Gruden
Anything to get him off of MNF.

Another way of looking at it: the worst QB to win a Super Bowl in the last 10 years is Eli Manning (or Joe Flacco, take your pick). The worst QB to even take his team to a Super Bowl in the last 6 years is Eli Manning (or Flacco). The last time a QB the quality of a Kyle Orton went to a Super Bowl was 2007 (Grossman). The last time a QB the quality of a Kyle Orton won a Super Bowl was 2001 (Dilfer, since Brad Johnson was a cut above Orton). It is still almost all about the QB ...
I'd say Kaepernick is worse than Eli and Flacco, and it really isn't close.
The Cardinals would've had a better chance with Jeff Tuel than Lindlay.
What now? (Now that McCown is off the table)
