Fan in Chicago

I don't think anyone here is overblowing it or calling him God. I, for one, am acknowledging that he failed as a QB but by all accounts was an honest and decent guy. Perhaps he did the cleanup for PR but lets not discredit him for doing it in the first place irrespective of his motivation. Also, how is your comment about him being single and liking bars relevant to the conversation ? For one reason or the other, he failed as a QB for the Bills. But he was a good guy in the time here. Let your opinion of him as a QB not cloud your judgment about his actions off the field.

Well written post ! I agree in its entirety.

Injuries non-withstanding, at some point we need to stop giving this guy a break.

I agree. If we are solid at 4 out of 5 positions, we should do very well this season on O. On D, unless Troup turns out to be a major bust, we should be way better than last year. I know other teams in our division have also made advances, but if we land Gaither, I will truly feel very optimistic about a playoff appearance this season.

From me too.... This website has immensely enhanced my 'fan-ship'.

Well, welcome. We envy you but your team gives us long suffering fans hope.

What exactly are you complaining about - that he has not written about something that you believe is happening behind the scenes ? Perhaps he is waiting for something real to happen ? Writing about rumors isn't really reporting. From his blog, he writes "ESPN Rumor Central looks to be speculating more than anything else, but they believe a veteran free agent offensive tackle could be pegged." He is merely commenting on what has appeared on Rumor Central. He did not state it as a news item. If there is a specific item of his you want to criticize, please link it.

Thanx. Just did every step and it took all of 2 minutes.

I have read this statement several times on this board but can't seem to find information to check it against. Can you provide a link ? I have read his performance stats and they look very good - which means he is productive and implies he is not lazy/has bad ethic.

At last someone else who also enjoyed it. Most people who I recommend it to ask in total surprise - 'Which one ????' A masterpiece. If you have the patience, try another foreign movie called 'Revanche'.

Or see if they are in need of another running back or safety.

I agree with the first part of your post. However, I have still not reconciled the Spiller pick in my heart and mind. No matter how good his talent may be, I feel the O may have been better helped overall by a line pick. If a highly graded player was not available at our spot, we should have traded down. This is the 3rd first round pick we have spent in the last few years on a RB - a position which can be more than adequate with a lower round pick given better blocking. I remember when mcGahee was picked, the spin was that he was such an incredible talent that him rehabing in the first year would be a price worth paying for the returns we will get once he starts playing. Well, we all know how that turned out. I hate it when people point to the Mike Williams pick and say the crap shoot. Sure it is - but I would rather bust out on a line player than a skill player when our lines are weak. Spiller is a luxury pick in a year of needs. A player of his talents helps a team on the cusp of greatness which we certainly aren't yet. I do disagree with the second part of your post. I do not think this was a marketing move. I sincerely believe Nix and company are obstinate about sticking to the board and picking BPA.

I agree with you. First we added Dwan Edwards and Andra Davis - not flashy but solid pick-ups. Then a good low center of gravity NT and couple of other linemen. These choices along with an already solid DB corps and an expected good DC makes me feel confident in our D. I think we have the potential of being a top-10 D this year. Yes, I really think so.

You are on the wrong board.

Trust me I am speaking from the grave.

hate the pick but to NGU

He is the TBD's version of deep throat - gave the board a heads up about a couple of items this offseason and they were correct. He posts infrequently, or when he has solid information. We believe he is in the know about things that are going on inside the FO. In general, the board tries to keep him under wraps.

If you wanted precisely one person to respond, a PM would work better.

The 'RW is cheap' rant ? Is there any evidence to back up your claims ? I think it is equally possible that the FO did not want to consider BR at all because of character issues - this discussion would be long before the issue of money is discussed.

Have you seen The Accused ?

Eric Berry C.J. Spiller Not because I think they are bad players but because I think #9 is too valuable for a position we don't need filled.

Or you could PM me your phone number and I will text you the first pick.

PTR is sub-consciously channeling his inner Nevergiveup and cleverly implying a trade down such that we have no picks on Day 1.

I had been a vocal critic of TO last season. But seeing that Reed and him are gone, the lack of experience at the WR position scares me. I wouldn't mind having TO back for at least one season in case his half assedness (sic) turns out to be better than the full efforts of Hardy/Johnson.
