I second - excellent location for fun and trouble...

I have watched too - plays like a beast, but seems dumb as a rock...

As much as all of us like to hang our hat's on Buffalo being a major league town, in the end game, ownership simply cannot compete with the big boys in major sports. There is a reason why the Bills (and Sabres) loose marquise players more than they retain them. (I know people think Clements is a bust, but when he left, he was a damn good corner...and one we drafted, but could not keep). I think the Peter's situation is a case in point, he is arguably one of the best LT's in the business, (top 3?), but we cannot get to the table...or perhaps will not. I know you can argue, we kept Schobel and Kelsey (why on the latter?), but you have to agree, at no point was either considered a marquise guy at the position. That said, cities like Buffalo, Seattle, Detroit, ETAL can keep, and in free agency perhaps attract, mid level talent, but any prominent/elite players at skill positions will not be retained by the BUffalo's in today's NFL - it is simply not economically feasible. We hear the argument that "we'll negotiate with Peters if he shows", but what is the excuse for Evans and his lack of a new deal? Wouldn't it speak volumes to Peter's to cash Evans out with a new deal, then at the press conference throw it in his face of what we are capable of as an organization and how we reward our guys? If Evan's plays lights out, off he goes and we get sold the fact that Hardy is an elite replacement and we lucked out to get a Kevin Johnson when we did, (maybe even he's the next TJ Hoosh...). Look I disagree with Peter's position, but let's face it, this team has a certain look of something exciting with Peters in the line-up, without, well, another 8-8 or 9-7 team. I would hope the executive braintrust recognizes this to be true, (Hell all of the National Media does), and places the team in that position. I think they recognize it, but are not willing to part with the money needed...

10 Teams and this is the best you could do? You invested early in the WR's didn't you? Not too bad though...here is the problem, I bet there are some teams in your league stacked at the RB and you can't fight that...

I agree he's a missle alright...his career will last another 4 years...then he'll live on painkillers the rest of his life...

Normally I do not care about this stuff...but these guys flat out blow - poorly spoken, bad grammer, using slang, they simply appear unrehearsed and have not done their homework...I might email the fine folks at NFL TV this is so bad...

Maybe we can unload Kelsey...

From a source deep within the organization, Ashton Y is on the list...

With 2 exceptions, not axactly household names....on this years schedule we have 2 that are guaranteed HOF, 2 number 1 overall's, a couple of decent threats and some nobodies... I think they might be a hair stronger this year...

And they looked B-A-D...I think Kasel is done as their back-up to Brady

Keep it in the context of the post - I think that JP playing well will inevitably lead to a controversy the media will fuel...and people on this board as well... You know that is the case.... If it were Hamden (?) played well in Trents stead, no worries as there is no vein that he deserves to be a starter...

I know opinions are like as-holes, but there's nothing wrong with people choosing "their" guy. So if I chose Obama over McCain and you like McCain and Obama, does that make me unamerican???

Oh come on now - if the offense gets a jump and special temas adds some points where we can mix it up on offense, they'll be OK. If they dictate to us what we have to do...we are cooked...but then again, so would 25 or so other teams in the league...

I really do not care which guy starts, just stating that we will have some hang wringing and infighting...as evidenced by the responses...I guess that is the case huh?

If JP starts Sunday and plays well, I think we'll have a good old fashioned QB controversy on our hands... I know he has taken the high road, but if he plays and plays well, the murmers will begin, "JP would be better than Trent in this offense, more athletic...", "the only reason that Trent looks good is he has better tools at his disposal...just look at how well JP did...". You know it's inevitable - the News needs to sell papers and we need a good old fashioned controversy on the board to ingnite the masses... JP crashing badly would be best for all interested parties...

In his order...I guess he believes Peters will be signed...

From this weeks Tuesday Morning Quarterback (mailbag): • THIS WOULDN'T BE A FANTASY QUESTION, ERIC, WOULD IT? From Eric Batchelor, of Acton, Mass.: "Who's your pick for leading rusher in the NFL this year?'' 1. LaDainian Tomlinson, because his Michael Turner-security blanket is gone. 2. Marshawn Lynch. 3. Steven Jackson. 4. Joseph Addai. 5. Adrian Peterson.

Not even close - the guy will start by his third year...good instictive player, will add bulk at the NFL level...Perfect cover 2 weaksider...think Ellison but angrier and a bit bigger...

Absolutely - another "Carpenter" type LB...ask the Cowboys about him...

MOre to it: Ellis is more than just an edge rusher. He has had good success as a leverage player vs. the run and has the quick-twitch moves to give chase in the opposing backfield. With his lateral agility and ability to clear his feet on the move, some scouts are even analyzing him as a potential strong-side linebacker in a 3-4 alignment, thanks to his 4.56 speed.

Excellent pick.

Owen Schmidt

Dammit - I like your moxy...very good....(though I am not sure what he has done, let's ax him to get the pendulum swinging again...I am a little bored myself with the good decision making going on these days.)

The difference I think is thatSpikes was scheduled ot make $9MM...you might get Wilson for 1/5 of that...

If he were signed to a performance laden contract...why not?
