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.

I would lean towards no for drafting him, but if he falls to UDFA like some are projecting, it would be a no brainer.

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.

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.

Cardale Jones and Levi Brown, lol -
Bills have drafted 5 QBs since Kelly retired...
dgrochester55 replied to Beef Jerky's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
5 ways Bills WR Corey Philly Brown will help the team
dgrochester55 replied to pbanach's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Tom Brady-The Greatest of His Era, Not All-Time
dgrochester55 replied to a topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Bills sign WR Jeremy Butler
dgrochester55 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Cowboys DE - Ryan Davis Signs with the Bills
dgrochester55 replied to GoBills!'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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! -
Has any team contacted EJ Manuel about a tryout?
dgrochester55 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -

dgrochester55 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Whaley forget about receiver?
dgrochester55 replied to billsfan905's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
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. -
Lorenzo back on a 2 year deal
dgrochester55 replied to PirateHookerMD's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good deal, I thought that he would command more on the market. Not too much money in case he was a one year wonder. With Zach Brown not being retained, this was a priority. -
OT Andre Smith visiting Bills
dgrochester55 replied to Deep2Moulds46's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't care if the guy has a rack like Dolly Parton, as long as he can be an upgrade over Mills at right tackle. -
I like the signings so far. They all seem to have have a winning attitude and/or playoff experience. Also on the positive side, Buffalo has kept most of both lines along with Taylor/Watkins/McCoy. Keeping the core of the team and adding players that fit the new culture will be a good thing in the long run. Short term, there is still a ways to go. As of today, there are 43 people that are on the Bills roster and not restricted or unrestricted free agents. Among that 43 include a few futures contract players that will likely not make the roster. There are only 6 draft picks. This means that there are many holes to fill and there are going to be a lot of new faces on the Bills over the next 3 months. I am hoping that this isn't a rebuilding year, but there is still some uncertainty as of today.

Robert Woods signing with Rams
dgrochester55 replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Sad to see him go but he wasn't worth the money that he was asking for. When drafted, I had high hopes for him and saw him as as close to a sure thing as you can get. He had some good games but injuries derailed him. In a best case scenario, I could see him being an Anquan Boldin or Donald Driver where the stats aren't flashy but reliable every year. I still think that Woods could be this type of player in the right system, but have doubts on whether or not the Rams are the best fit. -
Bills might as well rebuild...
dgrochester55 replied to Beef Jerky's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You can't back down and not try because of the Pats. Seems to me that they are going all out knowing that Brady and Belichick likely have 1-2 years left. Why tank because of them?(As if tanking ever works in football). Buffalo can still get a wildcard and build on that. Miami was a mess in 2015 and managed to do that. If Brady and Bellichek retire and Buffalo is coming off of a couple winning seasons, that is much better for us that if we are "rebuilding" at the time Bring the right guys in for the new system and play to win, -
I am glad that this happened, there wasn't really a better option for next year. I would still like to see either a quarterback get drafted or add a veteran, but this takes away a huge worry.
