then expect the playoff drought to continue... good players want to get paid

so the bills have not been a failure the last 17 years?

This is very true but bills fans do this with every below average qb and when they are off the team they move on to the next.... we saw the same with losman, edwards, fitzpatrick, manuel, and now it will be tyrod

i love how everyone says Rob Johnson was the right choice.... his stats were absolutely horrendous in the wild card game and he gave up a safety at one point (i think he was 9-18 for 107 yards or something) bills would not have been a playoff team had Rob Johnson started all 17 games that year... Flutie struggled that year but it is not far fetched to think flutie could have done a little more to win that game Flutie was responible for 3 turnovers not 5.... Eric Moulds fumbled a 50+ yard catch after being caught from behind and reed also fumbled in the 4th quarter (should have been called down) .... bills also had a eric moulds touchdown ruled out of bounds and an andre reed obvious touchdown ruled short of goalline (which led to 15 yard penalty for spiking his helmet - pre-replay era)

I agree with you... this is a good forum too but there is just not as many new threads as the bbmb I could go on bbmb daily and find something.... on here i see the same threads every morning

Russ is not going anywhere.... he is very good at the business side; however, I could see Russ gaining resentment if he really was that close to Whaley and Overdorf at the end of the day though, I do not think Russ will leave

who are you kidding....Sammy is definitely going to get a block buster deal were you one of the people saying Gilmore would not get one?

seems like a few in this thread have a personal agenda for their hate of potsmokers

wow please state your facts..... pain killers and alcohol are not as dangergous as weed? what world are you living in

i do not understand how you cannot talk yourself into liking this guy if you were optimistic with the previous head coaches

murphey is a kool aid drinker and never says anything critical of the bills. its really annoying....

I really wanted foster at 27... i feel like we could have got a good cb still in the 2nd

we are also like one injury away from a totally disastorous defense

you have a good point here... but it is all about risk.... acceptable risk (IMO) increases as you move back in the draft when you are in the Top 10 you want to minimize as much risk with the selection

that is not true... if our offense did enough in the oakland game they would have not given the ball straight back to the Oakland offense so quick in 4 straight drives that included a back breaker turnover by tryod yes the defense struggled but Oakland had a worse defense then us and there offense instead of doing what you consider "enough" carried the load and won the game its a team game but if the offense has a chance in the final 5 minutes they need to more times than not win the game... if your offense scores 38 points but is losing by 3 points with 2 minutes left... is it ok for them to **** the bed and blame the defense because they "did enough"?

this would be ideal but there is just too much risk and easier said then done.... most of the time if you are picking in the top 3 you need a qb.... even if browns (and have already selected lets say tribusky or watson) have a top pick and darnold and rosen are the real deal, you have to expect at least 2-3 other teams also trying to trade up for their services... that is a lot of competition and uncertainty

i get what you are saying but you need the qb first or you will build a team that is average and wins 7-8 games a year just leaving you out of the top 10 of the draft every year and missing out on the top qb prospects....i mean that is really the reason Bills are in QB purgatory is because we only have had one legitimate shot when we picked at 3 and cam newton was the only qb prospect worth taking....therefore you truly do have to gamble and hope you win the next lottery (wilson, prescott, cousins) in the later rounds the OP is right.... it does not matter until we have a qb

it is really working for us too 17 years and counting

i remember when fans were saying this like 5 years ago......

and it will be something along the lines... "next years qb class is better we should wait"

what will the excuse be for whaley when another one of his rosters misses the playoffs this year?

OJ Howard is who I have wanted all along.... helps the run and pass game

and they keep collecting super bowl rings

Fitz was given way too much time before they pulled the trigger on drafting qb.... EJ would have got the same treament but (we closed our eyes and threw a dart) with Baltimore's backup and he beat out 2 below average qbs for the job (cassell and ej)....heck there were fans arguing EJ should have been the starter in training camp when Tyrod clearly outplayed him.... I would not use that as an argument that the FO is on the right track with qb progression over a 9 year span closing your eyes and throwing a dart would also be drafting qbs in later rounds.....

good because i not want him in the first
