    Yes if you look at what we spent 

     

    I don’t blame beane for that though

     

    Agree ... hence why I specifically mentioned Whaley...( also Rex had his involvement as well.)

     

    According to a Rodak article Whaley apparently tried to move up higher to get Ragland... wonder what he was offering move up to pick 32?

    Bills worked the phones Friday: Whaley said the Bills wanted Ragland so badly that they started calling every team in the second round, starting with the Browns at No. 32, looking for a trade partner to move up and select Ragland. They found an eventual match with the Chicago Bears at No. 41. Part of the reason Ragland might have slipped into the second round was an enlarged aorta, NFL Network reported this week, although Whaley said the Bills have medically cleared Ragland, and Ragland said on a conference call that a heart specialist told him that he is "fine."


    What a shocking draft 2016 turned out to be...two years later Shaq and Washington are the only survivors I believe, and they had both want to show some improvement to be here next year.....

    Who said that? A ton of people loved the Hyde signing and we spent a 1st round pick on a qb.

     

    i will blindly trust this regime on the defense side, especially d backs.  But our offensive evaluations so far have sucked, minus perhaps Dawkins.  We don’t have one receiver who threatens a defense vertically.  That’s a huge problem.

     

    Plenty of people here at the time and at least one media "expert"...

    The WR's don't look great on paper but they will have a few new faces, a  new Co-ordinator and new QB throwing them the ball...

     

    Im prepared to wait and see and hope for the best at this stage,,,

    Are you computer retarded???

     

    Not a personal insult... legit question.

     

    Click on username, look at content history, find how many separate days I bothered posting there.

     

    Peterman sucked donkey balls more than any other QB I think I've ever seen in a Bills uniform in his limited snaps last year and has an arm that is not remotely NFL caliber, that's why.

     

    If he improved and strengthened his arm... well... that's good, but the only direction for him really was up.

     

    And trust me... I'm rooting for him because he's in a Bills uniform.

    Yes I’m computer retarted..

     

    Cant you just tell me?

    Regularly???? :huh:

     

    Believe me... I'm not a regular. I've checked in there no more than a handful of times... and a couple of those were easily to criticize the thread for its very existence.

     

    Check my posting history for your proof... and saying "you posted 5 times today" would only demonstrate ignorance considering all posts pretty much came at once and I'm not remotely responsible for that thing staying on page 1.

     

    I'll happily watch it die.

    How do I check how many times you have posted in that thread?

     

    My estimate would be somewhere between eleventy million and a gazillion.,,

     

    But before we go completely down that rabbit hole... why the issue with a thread about Peterman and not Tyrod?

    I never wanted to bother with this thread... but unbelievably it's somehow reached 29 pages.

     

    Still so confident in Peterman???

     

    Peterman seems like he's improved, but it was almost impossible not to from what he was doing last year.

     

    Despite whatever McDermott's claims are about slotting in camp at this moment, 6 weeks from the start of camp... I'm doubting Peterman is any better than 3rd in line for Week #1.

     

    So you are concerned about this thread being 29 pages , but the Tyrod thread which you regularly contribute to ( a player no longer on the team by the way) is 25 pages?

     

    Im sure that will be different though somehow..

     

    I wish you hadn’t of bothered..

    The Bills have a lot contracts that they could get rid of to open up cap space, if Shady has a really bad year they could also release him for another 6.4 million and Vald is another 2 million they could also cut. So the Bills have a lot of ability to open up capsapce. 

    1.  of Released Jerry Hughes
    2. (Saved: $7,500,000)
    3. Released Charles Clay
      (Saved: $4,500,000)
    4. Released Chris Ivory
      (Saved: $2,250,000)
    5. Released Russell Bodine
      (Saved: $2,375,000)
    6. Released Patrick DiMarco
      (Saved: $1,150,000)
    7. Released Andre Holmes
      (Saved: $1,450,000)

     

    I was about to comment on this list to say something along the lines of “they have so much space, why cut more players?”...

     

    Then I looked at the names..

     

    Keep Shady thought if he is still cutting on a dime..

    Look at our secondary last year, seen by pundits as the worst in football. We will be fine because our coaching is strong now.

    These talking heads have no idea about talent evaluation.

     

    If Bodine and Newhouse end up being as good as Hyde and Poyer I will swim from Manly to Circular Quay..

    ...pretty interesting that the Peterman has been getting positive reviews which is not surprising despite the 5 pick debacle and the "TBD El Busto" labelers piling on.....so what if the final pecking order looks like:

     

    1. McCarron

    2. Allen

    3. Peterman (PS)

    (of course it's possible 1 & 2 could change at some point in the season)

     

    ..if, IF Peterman continues to progress, is the PS a risk to exposure?......would it matter?........would you carry 3 on the final 53 if he shows solid value?.....what is your take bud?...

     

    I think another team would take a chance on NP if he was on the PS particularly when injuries start to happen around the League...

     

    Would it matter? Probably not as that would mean that they see him as the clear No 3 so therefore expendable..

     

    Given that all 3 are relatively inexperienced, personally I would prefer they keep all of them in the 53 at least for the first half of the season...

     

    Appreciate that this is not a popular opinion...

     

    If Allen is starting by then maybe they can get something in a trade of AJ provided they have the confidence that NP can be the backup
