Don't get me started on the Wilponzies...

That's true I hadn't considered that, he worships the Bills and will do anything for them (even though he probably doesn't know a single player or anyone in the front office.

MIght be true but they have six championships, their fans have lots of fun. They seem to have fun when they raise the Lombardi trophy.

Frank is a Colt now, his history with the Buffalo Bills will have no relevance in deciding any trades

So what is your point?

If he was traded to NY in the NFL only one team would fit that description

I largely agree with the improvements you suggest but I don't think a complete rebuilt (which suggests trading marketable assets for draft picks) is required. Add the right QB and the rest can fall in place. Stats don't tell the whole story in the NFL, Woods played a much more prominent role in LA than he ever did in Buffalo.

Me too, I like and respect these guys and it would be great to know.

This is a pretty pessimistic view of the situation Bills do need a QB RB's aren't the most difficult position to fill While I like Woods Ryan Groy did a nice job filling in two years ago. The line needs help but played pretty well later in the season Kyle is beloved but his play wasn't what it was in his prime. The WR's are bad is the same thing we heard the year before but somehome Robert Woods and Marguise Goodwin became stars when they had a solid QB throwing the ball to them. LB need help but that can be found There is some talent under 25 beside White and we have lots of draft picks as of now. (Dion Dawkings, Zay Jones Matt Milano to name a few) No more rebuilding

No, I like McCoy but his time in Buffalo has been way too short and as far as his accomplishments they seems too few to even consider him.

I can absolutely see your point, and it's a good argument its just a difference in philosophy. Similar to the different styles of offense or defense. Both can work its the execution of the strategy that makes the difference. I would still rather pass on the safer bet and focus on getting one of top 5 QB's but I understand your approach

Very nice of McCoy to recognize the Bills fans like that and so heartfelt. It also is a good reminder of how important (fairly or unfairly) a sports franchise is to a city. A winning team that is supported by a loyal fan base can change the public persona of a city so quickly just as a chronically bad team can make a city seem more "depressed" than it really is (Cleveland). This one season has really changed the reputation of Buffalo, you no longer hear it being mentioned as a place you don't want to play.

Yep, but he seems to have changed. A mulligan implies that he is forgiven without changing

It's entirely possible that Cousins could have won a couple of games that Taylor let get away, he is definitely a better QB. It is also possible he could have also lost at least one Taylor won because he did turn over the football more often. I think you mean the second Jets game, the Bills won the first. He is no doubt a better QB than Taylor but I don't think he is good enough to eat up that much cap space. I am in complete agreement with you that it all starts with the QB, get a good one and the rest falls into place. Look at the Colts and Packers without Luck and Rogers. If that type of QB becomes available open up the vault and pay him whatever it takes. I would include Russell Wilson, Tom Brady, David Carr and a few others in that group. Cousins career record as a starter is 26 -30-1, his best season was 9-7. You could certainly make the case that the Redskins have not been great during that period and he'd be much better with a better team around him but that would sound very similar to the people who argue the same about Tyrod. I disagree with you about top 5 versus top 10. A top 10 QB assures that you will have a team that is a serious play-off contender each year, a top 5 QB almost certainly assures that you have a Super Bowl contender each year. As far as once Brady, Ben and Brees retire, Cousins probably is top 10, that assumes Rosen, Darnold, Mayfield or others aren't better. I believe in 3 years he still won't be a top 10 guy.

Wow I hope that information is accurate because I agree with almost 100% of it. I think Darnold is far and away the best QB in the draft, I like Peterman too and hope he is given a shot. I like the idea of signing a vet like McNown and have him compete with Peterman. I like him be he needs to earn the job. Of the group you mentioned I wouldn't mind Mayfield but I wouldn't break the bank to get him. I think they are all risks. I would hate the idea of cutting Cordy Glenn, I could live with a trade.

Yeah that started the change, his wife Jill openly talked about his womanizing in her book and I have heard him speak and he owns up to a lot of his past. I really admire his humility.

I am with you 100% with the need to get a top 5 QB, my point is I don't think that describes what Cousins is or can be. I'd say his top end is 10-15 which is fine but from what I've seen of him play I don't see him as a guy who can take an 8-8 team and make them 11-6 or 12-5. He will take up a huge chunk of the salary cap and you won't have much money left to build around him. This guy could be the top paid QB in the NFL and he's not going to bring that kind of value to your club.

Could be I don't know about that story. He does seem, even by his own admission, a more humble and thoughtful man than he has been in the past. It is interesting I thought the same thing to myself, why even get into this.

First of all it is ill conceived not I'll conceived. Secondly, your statement that my opinions "would be widely dismissed by anyone with out (sic) a predisposition to irrationally hate Kaepernick." is presumptuous and unsupported. Third, it is in fact debatable who would be a better pro. Your poorly written statement that " Kaepernick won playoffs game" shows that he has been a better pro, it addresses past performance. Prior performances aren't always an indicator of future results. Joe Montana won lots of championships; that doesn't mean he would be great next year. The question I chose to answer was who I would rather have Manziel or Kaepernick; I'm not advocating for either QB but forced to chose one I said I would go with Manziel because I don't like Colin and I think Manziel has a bigger upside. If you disagree make your own case don't attack my opinion.

While I still don't like that JK didn't want to play in Buffalo I admire that he has never run from what he said or tried to make excuses. He has acted like a man about it. He has also embraced the city of Buffalo like no other athlete I can think of and not only made it his home but has promoted it everywhere he has gone.

The GF thing is a little more complicated, the drugs is his own stupidity and the rest is just an spoiled kid who probably needed a good kick in the ass. I also think he is a better NFL QB than CK. I think CK is a one trick pony who has been figured out. Its hard to explain my distain for CK without going into the political arguments but if Manziel went around saying it was it was ok to hit women or did it repeatedly I would obviously not want anything to do with him either. CK still thinks its ok to kneel when people are asked to rise and remove your hats as we pay tribute to our nation. I'd be fine with any other gesture, kneel in the end-zone after a TD. Raise your fist in a black power salute, fine but to deliberately disrespect the nation and its people is disgraceful and I can't accept.

Open a dry cleaner. Then we can move to a deluxe apartment in the sky.. (Jefferson's reference sorry) Lots of options, I'd hold on to the picks unless they can get Darnold I think the rest are crap shoots.

Oh ok, I lived in Jackson for about 15 years. Always nice to find fellow suffers in NJ.

Are you in Jackson NJ? I think we may have spoken before

I said you wouldn't be alone in your thoughts but I am disgusted by what he stands for and that's too big a price for me to pay.
