  1. Although he may be a decent backup to have and an upgrade over our last one. It is not worth the press distraction. I do not see Kaep as having good character or leadership ability. The stance he took is debatable, but the fact that he suddenly changed his tune and decides to stop the stance shortly before free agency came,is suspicious timing. That is the primary reason for my opinion on him. Name aside, I believe that Buffalo is better off with a draft pick and Cardale behind Tyrod.
  2. Yeah, I mentioned Maybin earlier. The difference so me is others busts like Spiller, Whitner, Williams and even Losman and Manuel to an extent at least played for awhile. Had any of them hypothetically been picked from mid to late round,the would have been just another guy. Maybin was so bad that he could have been picked in the 6th and 7th round and still been considered a bust.
  3. So many choices. Losman was bad and a reach but at least sought after at the time, Manuel was bad but at least we traded down and got Alonso who turned into McCoy before picking him. Ive heard things about Tuttle, Patuski and Moore but that was before my time. Flowers was a bust and Mike Williams was a waste of a top 5 pick. McCargo, Troup and Hardy are honorable mentions but..... My choice, Aaron Maybin. Worst and most frustrating in my memory. As bad as the others that I listed were, Maybin may have done even less than any of them. Had he been picked in the 6th or 7th round, you could have argued that he was still a bust. Even more frustrating was the fact that there was a clear chance to pick much better players projected higher when it came time for the Bills to pick.
  4. I don't know if it is the playoff experience, or the catchy name, but I could see Philly Brown doing some good things this year.
  5. There is no established number 2 option after Watkins but from top to bottom the WR group is deeper and better than last year. I still wouldn't mind seeing a receiver drafted early if the right opportunity comes.
  6. I noticed that the BBMB was referenced a couple times in this thread. Towards the end, that board was pretty much two overbearing mods, and a handful of troll posters including this guy who were despite that, were still allowed to create or reply to the same spam subject threads with horrible opinions every day without any consequence. I hope the TBD veterans will realize that most of the influx that came from the BBMB boards including myself are regular Bills fans like you guys that just want to talk reasonably online about their favorite team. We just made the mistake of picking the wrong place to do so for a few years. I know the post that I replied to doesn't help the cause though.
  7. The Raiders will be deeper in talent so there would be that to consider. Even with that, I could see EJ making enough mistakes to make this a game. Taylor on the other hand, though not always moving the ball doesn't make many mistakes. Turnover battle would make the difference and Buffalo would win.
  8. 7 or 8 wins The roster is incomplete and it is a new system with many new players. More often than not that leads to a non playoff team. My only hope is that Rex was even worse than we thought and that the talent on the team responds to the new coaching staff and system.
  9. I would lean towards no for drafting him, but if he falls to UDFA like some are projecting, it would be a no brainer.
  10. Not just that, but these signings mean that the Patriots get three extra comp picks for the next two seasons.
  11. I'm not surprised, every first round QB not named JaMarcus Russell who doesnt work out with the team that drafted them, always gets a second chance. Hope he does well in life, but I also hope he is starting ifOakland plays Buffalo next year. We need all the help that we can get.
  12. I didn't know exactly what happened at first, a poster clarified it for me and now I understand. However, I cant stay mad at someone who just posted a hilarious reply like the one you did on the offended poster. Well played.
  13. OK, that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.
  14. Seems to me that a player should definitively know whether or not he used a pen to scribble his name on a paper that gave him millions of dollars in exchange for spending a given amount of time with an NFL franchise. It should be clear to a player whether or not they did this occur either way. Only in Buffalo.
  15. My sources say that aliens are on the moon and preparing to take over as we speak. No link, but the voices in my head just whispered it to me. There, I just did what the OP did.
  16. It's bad, bad Philly Brown The baddest man in the whole damned town Badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog
  17. It's funny, I posted a thread with this exact subject a few hours before the BBMB shut down and was told by a couple of "experts" that the thread was pointless and that I was idiotic for posting it. This is a real issue and a big part of why we are in a playoff drought. In contrast, New England who has had arguably the best quarterback of all time since 2001 has drafted twice as many quarterback as Buffalo during the same time frame. Long story short, quarterback is never a position that you should neglect, especially when you do not have one.
  18. He is already better than any reciever that we had on the roster last year besides Watkins and Woods. Could be a #3 or #4 option. Still need help at WR but Its a start.
  19. Up until this Superbowl, I would have said that Montana was the greatest of all time. Like him or not, Brady's Superbowl comeback puts him in that conversation. Buffalo is in a playoff drought for many reasons, but being in the same division as Brady for 15 years is a big part of it.
  20. If that is a normal size dumpster, this guy looks to be about 10 feet tall. He should at the very least be a nice option in the end zone.
  21. Lol, nice one. I love the mentality of some posters. Doesn't matter that there are less than 50 on the current roster, we must never sign anyone in order to make sure that we get that extra 7th round pick in 2018!
  22. Agreed, it is not his fault that we reached for him and threw him into the fire before he was ready. Before that draft, projections had him as a mid round pick that would need development for a couple years if he was going to have a chance at success. Even though he couldn't make it as a QB, I don't remember any report of him having a negative attitude or making dumb choices. I hope the guy does well in life, both in and out of football unless he is playing the Bills.
  23. I think EJ will be on a roster by training camp. Some coach out there will want to see if they can turn around a former first round pick. He will of course be a backup or 3rd stringer, but I don't think his career is over. His ceiling would be a career backup that gets a few circumstantial starts every now and then like Todd Collins, Shaun Hill or Blaine Gabbert.
  24. As of today, the receivers on the Bills are Watkins, Powell, and Listenbee. Even if they resigned Hunter, added a free agent like Patterson and drafted someone, it would still be a shaky receiving group. There is still plenty of time in the off season, but I hope that they do something about this before it is too late.
