You people act like the Bills didn't want to trade down in years previously. Teams are always looking to trade down to get more picks. The draft is a crap shoot no matter who is the GM. It's all about a players, other teams interests in that player and what they are looking to trade for the deal. People only trade into the top 10 from that far back if they are looking for a QB. By all accounts it was two GM's talking together. Doug would be an idiot to not get his coaches opinion or blessing on a move.
i can't wait for a week to go by. When Whaley is still around people will be having kittens.
What is your source? Stop passing your opinion as fact.
Some people just dont' get it. They dont' believe anything out of the coaches mouth or Owner. They would rather believe conspiracy theories. I heard that the moon landing was faked.
Most of the trade downs you mentioned happen during the draft not before. By the time someone decides to move to the 10th pick both the 1st and 2nd pick will have already had their names called.
Interesting scenario but i don't agree with moving Dareus. Our front 4 could be scary this year.
Good for him. There is a day 1 video of Sean and it shows him seeking out Jim Kelly in the crowd to greet him. He said "I was hoping you would be here."
I think Sean gets it. I hope he can pass that along to his teammates.
The is the best feeling i have ever had with a new coach.
not sure how a new stadium puts you at a competitive disadvantage. The patriots stadium isn't new. The raiders stadium is terrible and had a better record than both the Giants and the Bills.
No idea why he thinks this.
People need to see that their have been changes with how the Bills have been handling things. The bluster of Ryan is gone. The Bills are also doing the minimum required for Media. They also said early on that they wanted the Coach to be the voice of the team going forward. I am not sure why people seem to think this is causing Whaley to loose his job. you don't know what is going on behind the scenes. Whaley has always looked uncomfortable in front of the camera.
Not every team is perfect when it comes to the roster. It's due to Free Agency. Every team has Holes. The Bills might have more than normal due to the coaching changes all of the time. We need a QB, WRs, and CB's. TT is a stop gap.
When you win all the time and are picking so late in the draft you can gamble alittle bit with your draft picks. Paying Gilmore 14 million is a bit much. He will be done in NE in 2 years. Tracking the last pick in the draft for Cooks is basically using a 2nd rounder.
What else have they done?
Organizations are known to put false information out there to find leaks. Tell one guy one story tell another guy another story. Whichever story gets leaked to the press is your mole.
Short answer is no. I don't want to watch another season of WR"s being open and he missing them. He is not exciting as a QB at all. He will not make the plays to win games.
LOL. This is funny. There are coaches for a reason. It's nice to have former players who want to the help young guys but i personally believe that the coaching players receive during the offseason conflicts with what the coaches want during the season.
Imagine that. People in the front office who are responsible for managing the CAP, and the future of the roster down the road doesn't jive with what coaches want since they are in a win now mode all he time.
This is not news.
