You broke my heart Fredo!.......
-
Buffalo isnt going to give him 3 years.....no friggen way.
Whoever starts this year is strictly a band aid
-
Agreed....dont let this left hook stop you Leroi.....keep the info coming!
-
I am in wait and see on this QB.....
He was the hottest QB on the market last year for a reason......he might have just been in a bad situation.
All we are asking a QB to do is not lose games
-
Can you please look at his career stats before posting something like this. Career completion % under 60 and would have been far worse if not for 1 good year with the Bears. Same goes for td/int ratio. Practically 1/1 and would have been way worse if not for that year. You should do your homework.
Except for that fact that he did have that year with the bears and you cannot discount it

Everyone taking this guy as insider because of the "text from Whaley" "Rex 2nd interview" "Roman OC" thing
I asked before and my post got purged by the mods - if you are indeed an insider, why on earth would you leak that EJ isn't in the Bills future plans?
Isn't that contrary to the interests of the organization because by gum, even Gabbert who played like total stinking poop for 3 years brought a 6th in trade. So why would someone with real inside scoop go against the interests of the organization to say EJ has no trade value whatsoever 'cuz if someone wants to take a chance on him just wait, we'll just cut him and soon too.
What about all the reports that Whaley interviewed coaches making it clear we wanted to have someone who would give EJ a chance? All smoke and mirrors?
I don't mind McCown. It has been clear that the Bills should sign a FA (or two) and draft someone. More possible strings to the bow, it's all good. It's the "cut EJ 2 days into FA" that makes no freakin' sense to me. It doesn't even make sense as a cap move, his contract is modest but guaranteed.
Locker as a backup - mmmmm, sturdiness in a backup seems a desireable trait.
Hopeful I think in this case it is just best to wait and see......
I wouldnt call Leroi out at this point....u dont have to take it as gospel.....u dont have to say you dont belive it......just sit back and see what happens.
-
Leroi has earned his cred here.....but I gotta wait and see on all of this....so many bold claims.
I do like Locker
-
I know, right? Can you freaking believe the nerve of him to not use the search button first? He just ruined my night...no, make that my entire year! Ahhhhh! I hate new threads!!! I can't take it anymore!!
Dont be mad

Any disrespect around here for Buddy Nix is pathetic and an embarrassment for Bills fans. The guy took over a franchise that had been crashed on the rocks and sunk for over a decade thanks to its bumbling owner, and single handedly got the ship back in the water and in the shipping lanes. The Bills may not have been the Queen Mary when he left, but they certainly werent the Titanic anymore either.
He pulled the Bills out of being a Free Agency laughing stock and to a point where we could actually sign players. It started with Merriman, and he used that momentum to eventually land Mario Williams, one of the top two Free Agents in 2012.
It's slow going, if not damn near impossible, to change a culture that has been instituted by an owner happy with mediocrity for 50 years. Buddy was the first baby step in making that change to where we are now. The Pegulas and Doug Whaley are simply building on his foundation. BTW, it's thanks to Buddy that Whaley is here in the first place.
You naysayers can cite the team's record over those few years, but Buddy doesnt play the games (or even coach them). I think he did the best with what he had to work with and the opportunities that were there. Sure, he wasnt 100% perfect, but no GM is.
I ran into him this past fall down south, and he had a Bills jacket on. He still loves this team and is pulling for it everyday. Show the man some respect for what he tried to do for us fans.
To add to that
Buddy Nix effects are still lingering (in a good way)
He left in place Doug Whaley.....who looks like he is pretty good at what he does.
-
Just wait for Princess Thomasina to retire or get injured for the season.
they will all be on suicide watches
They were on suicide watch THIS season when the pats got off to that slow start
-
I will say, though, CJ has proven me wrong...on at least one occasion. I still get chills when I think about the 36 yard TD run he had in Toronto against Atlanta in 2013. By far the best run of his career. The way he cut and accelerated with perfect patience and timing showed exactly what he's capable of doing. Problem is, he RARELY shows that kind of patience and timing:
Unfortanately we needed him to do that on a regular basis to justify his pick......no do it as an exception
Way to many cloud of dust runs from CJ
-
I think Floyd runs the whole fight and wins a decision.
-
Complex to me reads that the blocking scheme is complex... the RB probably just needs to be taught where the hole is gonna be, and that's about it.
Im thinking that Spiller wanting to break everything to the outside....when Romans' blocking schemes create holes between the tackles is what will do CJ Spiller in......
It might do Bryce Brown in as well.....who also likes to break things outside.
This was awesome: thank you very much. I love these level of breakdowns.
One issue I see, is that the current O line has already shown how bad they can be - these schemes require mobile/agile and coordinated
run blocking. All things the Bills O line is NOT. Not to mention the number of penalties this group would incur.
They draft HUGE O lineman and then expect them to be running all over the place: See 2014 O line draft.
Thoughts?
This would def apply to last year for certain.....
Its all about the OG's......last years OG's didnt
- Move anyone around because their pad level was to naturally high
also
- Not mobile enough to pull and block on the move
I actually think Cog is better at both of these things....and I am almost certain that another G that fits the above needs is on his way in free agency
-
right now who gives a rat's patootie
BOOOOOO
Can I change my answer? I think its gonna be Jake Locker
-
Im not saying yes. But I wouldnt hate the idea.
The upside for Dareus is miles below the upside for Bradford. At the end of the day, I see a healthy Bradford on par with, or slightly below Mat Ryan, who I would be more than willing to trade Dareus for.
Im sorry....I didnt realize that you were even remotely being serious in your first post.
I cant even engage in this conversation.
-
Because QB is almost the only position that matters in todays NFL?
Im sorry but no....just no
You dont trade what could possibly be the BEST defensive tackle in the league for a talented but oft injured, hasnt done anything yet, player regardless of position.
-
I hate the way "sources" even sports writers who have commented on this board are treated.....
But man that Tim Graham has him some thin skin
-
Maybe Dareus and a third rounder?
Whaley might be watching the Suh deal very close.
Also what do the Bills have that the Rams need? WR's? Bills have 2 worth anything and Watkins is not going anywhere.
And no way is Robert Woods is in the discussion unless it includes about 3 other guys and a pick or two.
I know that we dont have a franchise qb
But
Why in the world would you trade Marcel Darius......a certified multiple pro bowler....in the prime of his career.....on a team where the strength of it is our Defense....in particular our D line IN PARTICULAR our DEFENSIVE TACKLES
Why in the world would we even contemplate doing that?
-
I see Rodak on the street im taking his friggen lunch money and pulling his shorts over his head
friggen Mook
-
If true...this does not suprise me at all.....
This is the new bills......and they are going to find that QB one way or the other
-
a couple?
did you see the Bloopers? This is only up to 2012.

his passer rating never exceeded 80 in NY and even with a QBR of 88.4 in Philly he's still not their best option.
he lost a total of 20 LOST fumbles in NY with back to back 8 lost fumble seasons and he had 3 lost fumbles in Philly (tied with Orton is 14)
Once again
I am not defending the bad things Mark Sanchez has done over the years......some of them were rather pathetic.....
BUT
There are no good options this year.....that player simply is not out there. And we CAN NOT go into the season with EJ Manual the unchallenged starter on this team.
Sanchez when he was with Ryan the first go around was in fact the QB of the team that went to two consecutive AFC Champsionship games....in order to do that you have the have
- Winning seasons
- The QB cannot suck or be average most of the time no matter how good his defense is
- Make key plays at key times
What QBs are available on the market that fit that description?
-
Cant take him hes a turn over machine, but the butt fumble who cares.
See this is a legit reason not to bring him in.......I can buy this
But because Mark Sanchez has had a couple of embarrising plays? Come on man.
-
Bring in rookies, I hope they aren't serious about these two.
I dont get you...what exactly is wrong with Wynn
-
I was so glad to hear they want Wynn back.....excellent rotational player
This week's source deep within

I wonder if one of the guards they are looking at is Blaylock.....a total power road grater
Seems to fit Roman's scheme
