The Senator

OK, so - clearly - you're not Jim Kelly, John Elway, or Eli Manning...

I still haven't figured out how the Bills are going to have Luck available on Sundays next season while he's still playing for Stanford on Saturdays - any clues?

I thought I said that! (Seriously, that's my favorite drinking line of all time )

(In my best Bob Lobel voice...) "Now why can't the Bills get coaches like that?"

DOOMED, we are DOOOOOMED, I say!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING!!!! THE SKY IS FALLING....

BuffTown will LOVE Shawne Merriman. (Still can't believe Nix didn't sign the Steelers 4th-round reject Taddeus Gibson - obviously Nix was either napping or has no interest in improving the team! )

That's what I'm thinkin' - as long as he's nice to children, old people, and small animals, what's the problem? (BTW - doe's anyone know what substance he took? I buy DHEA over-the-counter at Vitamin World and GNC - yet it's a banned substance in the NFL and almost every major 'sports body'.)

or to Cornell Green's injury settlement

The Bills F.O. sucks. A former all-pro LB - where the Bills are particularly weak - and nobody's gonna even bother to wake Buddy up to tell him that Merriman's available. They don't care about improving the team. They should all be fired! What??? They put a claim in and signed him??? Ooops... What I meant was, what an idiot Nix is for signing Merriman! He's all washed-up. He'll never be the same since the injuries and the 'roids. Nix and the entire Bills F.O. are a bunch of ignorant nincompoops! They should all be fired! Just another typical day on TSW...

Except for the ultimate conclusion he draws after all that drivel... "Fitz, on the other hand, has a much better sense of what's going on; so he can take the right risks, while avoiding the wrong ones." Fitz takes plenty of 'wrong' risks. (The ball also seems to slip off his hand at least once or twice a game, usually at key moments.) I'll always wonder how Losman might have developed, given a real coach and a real offensive coordinator.

So you want the Bills to suck for the rest of this season AND all of next season, just so they can draft Luck in 2012? 13 and 7??? Maybe. (Doubt seriously that 9 and 7 will earn the Bills a Wild Card, especially with the Jets at 3-0 in the division, and the Bills at 0-3.)

Actually, yeah, they pretty much do!

Thank you - I learned something today

I would think Buddy Nix might have an 'in' with A.J. Smith, no?

The Bills will rue the day they chose to stick with Fanning-Fan Edwards over JP Losman.

hysterical! (So I'm guessing TBD and PETA are both OK with the Bills signing Merriman?)

Correct me if I'm wrong - and I often am - if he's cut/waived by SD, he no longer has a contract and any team that claims and signs him will be signing him to a new contract, yes?

Long thought of as a 'senile old coot' by the less-informed, RW is still 'crazy like a fox!'

Alright, I'll speculate, but my picks haven't changed since I posted this about 3 weeks ago... (based on Luck staying in school to get get another year's experience and - more importantly - his Stanford degree) 1) Ryan Mallett, QB, Arkansas 2) Gabe Carimi, OT, Wisconsin 3) Dontay Moch, OLB/DE, Nevada 4a) Owen Marecic, FB/ILB, Stanford 4b) Greg Romeus, DE, Pitt Don't much care about rounds 5 thru 7 - take best athletes available or, better yet, use them to trade into postition to get the 5 listed above. I'm willing to eschew the next Levi Brown, Danny Batten, Kyle Calloway, etc., etc. to get those 5 players (Caveat - 4b assumes that Romeus recovers from back injury/surgery, passes physical, gets 'thumbs up' for future play from appropriate doctors/trainers)

So taking people to task for stupid statements = 'claiming to be the CFB guru' ???? Really??? Then you're right - I must be the CFB - cause you just made another stupid statement, and I'm taking you to task you for it

To early to say, don't like to deal in 'hypotheticals' (of which this scenario presents far too many), and would need to know who are the next 31 players taken before knowing who'd even be available at pick #33. (Plus, Luck's not coming out.)

Anyone who alleges that I 'claim to be the CFB guru' is ignorant beyond words.

Wasn't' that yesterday's TSW consensus-philosophy? (Or was it the '12-hours-ago' philosophy?)

no...no...nix was napping, and the sky is falling...chicken little told me so

And how much time was it you spent scouting him? Did you even hear of him before today?
