If Tyrod gets hurt, we might not win a game after that.........so, record speculation is game you can't win. Jones has yet to show he is a pro...that is takes the necessary study seriously and practices with perfection. ( Practice does not make perfect. Perfect practice makes perfect.) The prior coaching staff (I know, clowns among them) felt CJ was immature and not yet a pro.

No based on hard skill sets. Also, no based on the intangibles...Sherman a loud mouthed bad actor, McCoy a professional in all ways, at least in his stay in Buffalo. NO NO and NO!!!

Your 1A comment is correct. Because.....the Bills need to be prepared for Sammy's contract renewal......coming up one of these years. We don't need another Gilmore situation, where the heir apparent is not in the house. (although I could argue that Darby should be that guy in year 3)

An offer sheet doesn't yet mean he will be a Bill. Shady, if he get his 1000 again, will be back into 2018. Guy is a beast.

Losman V 2.0

If the OBD management dumps TT, they will "lose" the locker room imho.

Don't like that contract now? Then fire the guy(s) who negotiated it.....and, that wasn't REX.........Whaley Overdorf now cleaning up their contract mistake at the expense of the on field product. TT the best QB in 10 years for the Bills. (although Orton did pitch the rock some better)

If Dareus fails another one, its a year out, at least. Would do a lot to solve the cap problem, anyhow, and this is not a zero probability.

There are a lot of cases of D linemen playing well into their 30's age wise. Kyle, if he has the desire, might go on for several years more. His salary might need to be restructured...giving him more money over ,say, 3 years......say......$15 mil for three years.........thus effectively paying him $3.5 for the last two years of the deal........Risky, but, not overly so.....but, again, does he want to do this...he has made a lot of money already....and, he did a painful rehab.....does he want to risk that again. Or, is football just in his blood.....only he knows.

Can't have Byrd back....he was to slow, had bad attitude here the last season or two and quit on the team. Worse than Mario by far. Besides, his father is the coach for the DB's and can't have neopotism that obvious on the team. Searcy might still have something left in the tank, however. Bills let him go as a FA becasue they didn't have the money to sign him. He didn't unlearn the game at Tenn....likely, they are just churning.

If they keep TT and draft a QB, they should draft somebody who can operate in the same O mode. That is a QB who has wheels...won't find a QB with wheels quite as good a TT, but get somebody who can run. I actually don't know if Cardale fits that description. Reworking the O if TT get hurt is a major problem mid season.

The GM doesn't pick the QB who starts....that prevents Whaley from making that decision. Cardale is a specimen for sure, but, not sure he has it mentally. And, all the coaches who helped tutor him this past season are gone......new staff will be starting over with Cardale. I wonder how much he really learned. The fact he was reported to have watched at least one Ohio State football game in full uniform tells me maturity isn't his strong point. Letting TT walk might do two things for Whaley....eliminates a competent QB from the competition...thus giving Cardale a better shot. And, of course, it lightens up the major cap problem a lot. I have to say I am really tired of Whaley advocating for "his" guy.....TT not being "his" (REX's) I say the new HC gets the final word on starting QB....and I am going to be real surprised if Cardale gets the nod. Whaley did arrange to have EJ "audition" for the QB job at the last Jets game........we all saw how that turned out....EJ gone......Bills need to picup 2 QB's if TT is let go. And, I don't want a rookie backing up the starter. MAYBE Cardale is the backup this year, but who is going to start if TT is let go?

I think this is correct, unfortunately.

Letting Byrd (son) walk was one of the few whaley highlights.......don't make the mistake of bringing him back. He was bad attitude walking. And, I think bringing in his father is a PR mistake of the first order. The name is toxic in Buffalo and with me.

Lets see...a couple more years, and his contract is up....and the Bills investment in him will hit the marketplace. If he can play, the Bills will have to bid for him, Really wondering about the stragedy of him using a Bills roster spot to develope for 3 years, and then departing. Seems like project guys are a bad bet in the NFL. I would cut him now. (Same scenrio with EJ, but he never became good)

don't forget Kurt Warner two superbowls....he, in fact was an arena football QB at one point.

I am a big TT fan......and agree keeping him is the way to go. Having said that......no way does reload apply........even with TT running the O. Reason....we are getting a new offense and defense.....and, the players will be learning a new system. That will have its bumps and missed assignments......and, really, the offensive and defensive systems are going to be rebuild........crazy Ryan D to a 4-3 ala Carolina/Philly. And the O will go from crazy ground and pound to a more balanced attack. (Yes, carryover special teams though)

When you have Jim Brown in the backfield, it should have been illegal to throw at all. And Graham was the QB when Brown was in Cleveland....all those Browns powerhouses of the 50's. (I am not making this up, I said "Browns Powerhouses")

Gilmore is a decent cover but no tackle cb........we need to pass on this guy.

Is there no chance Henderson will stop using weed and pan out as a player for the Bills at RT? How many games left in his suspension? 10 to serve....I don't recall how many he got served last year. BTW....I think he needs to get a good lawyer and sue the NFL and the Players union in his circumstance, he can make it really uncomfortable for the NFL and Union and might just win.

I get the physcial paper when at home in Niagara county...Buffalo News, that is. But, when in Florida.....I read the digital version. I can tell you the on line version is not as satisfying as the written word......despite the time delay. First of all, the website has little national news....I have to go to another website to get that coverage. (I subscribe to Wall Street journal for that) The hardcopy version has that national news as well.....and, I am not a slave to small screens. (I use both PC and iphone) the Buffalo News continues to hold it together for the most part. When I am in Florida, I am still caught up with the local WNY news. For sports coverage, local is the only way...as the national media don't really give a rat about the Bills, Sabres, UB, Cansius, Niagara, St Bona and the high schools. And, NYS news is also well covered by Buff News....although I admit WSJ also has a NY section. As a Bills fan...I do occasional read an article from both the Rochester and Syracuse papers...as they do have beat writers, and those guys are sometimes better than the several dogs at Buff News. (only Carucci is on spot imho) (Joe Buscaglia is also btw) Anyhow, I hope the print news survives.......as I don't like national only coverage and the broadcast media is the drive by media to borrow a phrase.

yes, that is true....but it enables a new HC to field his team of coaches with folks he knows and trusts....and for a fast start at getting it done...and not having to learn about each other via an off the street hire....things can be moved along faster.
