Most rationale post in this entire threads. I would only add: he could not beat out Curtis Painter. Yes, the architect of the Colts 1/15 season, perhaps the worst QB ever in the NFL, that Curtis Painter. Please.

You could say that about practically any 7th round pick. Total crap shoot

Not even close to the same thing.

I liked SJ, but losing him is not going to hurt. Mike Williams is a more than adequate replacement, and probably better. It allows them to move Woods inside where he will be hard to stop, and he is a more reliable receiver. With the addition of Watkins, SJ was no better than 4th on the depth chart.

You do not have to be a "liberal" to dislike Trump. There are many reasons to dislike him that pre-date him ever making a political utterance, and many since that have nothing do with his non-business opinions.

I was listening to WGR this morning on my way to work, and they were asking the question "who would be your dream owner of the Buffalo Bills" to generate some conversation and some phone calls. This is nothing more than Sal's response to that, and an attempt to generate some conversation and therefore listeners for WGR. There is no news in this.

Manzel is an arrogant, spoiled brat and that is not likely to change. There is no way he is not going to be a major distraction to the Browns, whether he plays or not. You would think he might mature over time, but I would not bet on it. Mike Pettine better get used to this.

I can't agree with your take here. The only receiver in this draft that was a potential immediate number 1 threat was Watkins. While deep in receivers, it was not necessarily deep in elite talents, unless you think the Bills needed Odell Beckham. Something tells me you would have been screaming about Beckham at 9, but he was the next best option at that point. Major drop off. The Bills have a roster full of number 2 WR talents and did not need another one. As for the "potentially top 5 pick", why plan for failure? It is as likely a bottom 5 pick as a top 5 pick. I applaud Whaley's guts on this. The big issue many people have us they simply do not believe EJ will play well enough to win, therefore the Bills should plan for failure despite what is a stacked roster at this point. That may happen, but planning for failure leads to failure every time.

2nd in 2013 and a conditional pick in 2014 which turned out to be a 2nd.

Schumer is very powerful in Washington. The threat of his wrath is very real to Goodel I am sure.

The next positive conclusion he comes to will be the first.

Sorry for the Rush Limbaugh stereotype. That was uncalled for. As for the rest of my comments, they stand as is. I have lived through many presidents, and I can that I have profoundly disagreed with all of them on some or even all of their policies. The right to disagree and publicly so is fundamental to our system, but disagree and disrespect are two different things. Sorry if you do not see the difference it makes.

Travis Henry was the most prolific Bills player ever. His legacy will live on for generations.

Golisano spent to the cap. You can argue with the decision making, but he was not cheap.

You are right, and I typically avoid any of the politically motivated comments on this board as no good comes of engaging. However, I find it disturbing, as an American, when someone says the President is not deserving of respect. That is all. I am out on this particular discussion, and I am sorry if I contributed to devolving the thread.

Please, save your Rush Limbaugh inspired hatred for a different forum. That man is 10x the man you will ever be, regardless of political beliefs. He is the President of the United States of America. If you cannot respect that then there is something wrong with you.

Since the Browns passed on the best WR in the draft, knowing their best WR was likely lost for the year, and did not subsequently address it, I would say they are probably desperate to sign any WR with pulse at this point. There is always next year.

I do not care what they might be called. If this team moves from buffalo I am done with the NFL forever. End of story. I did not click on the article but the title smacks of Jerry Sullivan. Hence my reluctance to even read it.

So many blunts to smoke, so little time. It is common courtesy and traditionally expected. Failure to do so is disrespectful in the extreme.

I love this pick. The Bills have bookend tackles to rival any in the NFL. You have to love this kid's attitude. Here is hoping that it translates to early success. If so, the Bills are going to have a dominating line.

Exactly. Plenty of people would have been complaining on this board if they settled for a second level talent at 9 while Detroit or Tampa traded up to get one of the few elite talents available in the draft. I applaud the willingness to swing for the fences.

I would be fine with Golisano as owner with one proviso - he does not bring Larry Quinn with him. If I am not mistaken (and I would be happy for someone to correct my memory on this), Quinn was part of the meeting TG had with Bills officials a month ago or so. In my opinion, TG saved the Sabres and was a very good owner. I would not like to see Quinn replace Brandon. Quinn was the biggest problem with the Sabres during that time period.

They need to see what they can get out of TJ through this years camp. There is too much raw athletic ability there to give up just yet. He needs to step up his game though.

The decisions to put the football stadium in the outer suburbs and the new UB campus in Amherst were perhaps the biggest mistakes made with respect to urban planning in Buffalo's history, and there have been many. It would be a very different city today if not for those short sighted decisions. The opportunity should not be lost again. I agree with the author.

It should not be a surprise to anyone that Jerry Jones would lead the charge on a conversation to move the Bills to Toronto. There is simply more money for everyone to be made there. It remains to be seen whether any bid from the Toronto group will be viable, what the stadium options will be, how they can manage the players and the CBA, etc. but they are certainly going to take a hard look, and the mouth from the south will lead the charge.
