Bill from NYC

First of all, I am not trying to sway anyone to agree with me. I come here to talk about the Bills and football. I don't necessarily care whether or not you agree with my takes, and I'm quite certain that the feeling is mutual. That said, let's explore that trade a bit more, shall we? When McDermott made this trade, Beane was not there. Do you really think that McDermott was sure of Josh Allen being there for them in 2018? I make the case that they lucked into Josh. In that same draft (2018) they also traded up for Tre Edmunds. Good move? And if you think that the Bills received adequate compensation for the #10 pick, let's just agree to disagree. Going down 17 spots from a top 10 pick? For what they received? I don't think so. And really, it is up to professionals to recognize the best QB in football, not me and you. We are just fans with opinions enjoying ourselves, no? So you see? There is no need to be accusatory or hostile. Not every fan has to support and/or every dumb move, or even not so dumb move that the Bills make. We are fans, not cultish followers. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stockholm_syndrome

Agreed. My point was that NIL was not the only reason.

You are correct. My choice of words was wrong. Hey, I'm sorry. McDermott thought that Tre was more important than Mahomes, despite the fact that the Bills were in desperate need of a quarterback. Does that sound better to you? Also, if you think that we were given adequate compensation for that trade, I suggest letting your wife do the negotiating when you shop for a new car. Peace.

Did you like him more than Jason Peters?

So was Tre White.

You say that once you knew for sure But now you're walkin' into shore to wonder* The more you learn the less you know The more you move the more you go to nowhere* You ask a bird as she flies by Just where she's at she says, where the wind blows* Ask her by that what she means She says she doesn't know But as she flew away she seemed to say The wind is love is the wind Wind is my love Who knows the wind Who knows my love Where blows the wind The wind is my love

A 12 year old kid with a copy of the old Pro Football Weekly would have done a better job than Marv Levy as GM.

McDermott is looking for extra picks so he can trade up for a corner.

The above says it all imo. Yes, I have seen gentle pit bulls. In fact, one of THE nicest dogs I ever saw was a Pit/Rotweiller mix. He was black and white and weighed WELL OVER 100 pounds, perhaps 150. He was staring at me in an outdoor, upstate brewery. I asked the owners if he was going to attack me and she said, "no, he wants to kss you." I had a few IPAs in me and called him over. He was just SO friendly. The owners told me that he wouldn't even protect their house and that he loves everybody. I believed them. The thing is, this dog had a head the size of an engine block. He could have fit my thigh in his mouth. So, as you say; owners with dogs this size should be held fully accountable if God forbid the dog has a bad day.

Did you steal that horrible draft list from McDermott?

Tua was drafted at #6 in 2020. New England had the 23rd pick that year and they traded the pick (down). NE drafted Mac Jones at #15 in 2021. I really don't know where you are going with the above post.

Maybe the 2nd worst?

And I was walking down the street one day A pretty lady looked at me And said her diamond watch had stopped cold dead And I said Does anybody really know what time it is? (Care) Does anybody really care? (About time) You know, I can't imagine why (Oh no, no) We've all got time enough to cry

And you would be 100% correct, AND; he did it without a great QB. I am not at all high on Milroe. The 4 QBs on Alabama before Milroe were superb and yes, this includes Mac Jones (although that particular team could be considered to have had one of the best offenses of all time). Either way, Hurts, Tua, Mac, and Bryce were great college QBs. Milroe is not imo. He is a great runner but he very slow in terms of making decisions and takes unneccessary sacks. He throws a pretty good deep pass (especially post patterns) but he needs tons of work on the short stuff, but remember, this will be his 4th year in Tuscaloosa. Despite everything, to include a very poor start, they just missed making the title game and did defeat Georgia, in Atlanta. Btw, I don't know much about DeBoer but I love the things that he is saying. Bama still has a TON of talent in the QB room and I am hoping for an open competition.

GB, Coach Saban has stated NUMEROUS times that he wants players to get paid. He did however say that there should be some sort of system in place. With the latest Appellate Court ruling, it looks as if there will be no system. The judge even imposed a tremporary injunction against the NCAA from what I understand, and this was AFTER his decision to retire. Coach Saban said that he made his final decision 5 minutes before the 4 PM phone call and Terry (his wife) said she would support him either way. My daughter told me that when judges impose these injunctions, they tend to think that their decision is very unlikely to be overturned. But keep in mind, I am not the lawyer in the family.

Not the guy? How many playoff appearances does he have since NIL? He has won more championships than your favorite school has with all of their coaches combined (if they ever won any). That said, don't be weighed down by jealousy and/or depression. Do feel better.

Those high notes are unbelievable, no?

Nah, McDermott saves that strategy for cornerbacks.

Almost, yes and this is why I can see McDermott doing it. He was in desperate need of a QB and chose Tre White, why stop now?

Right. It had absolutely nothing to do with the fact that he already won seven National Titles and is 72 years old. Did he need the money? No, because he owns a 17.5 million dollar house, two Mercedes Benz dealerships, a Ferrari dealership, and a hotel. That doesn't matter either. His wife has been patient for decades with Nick being away from home while constantly recruiting and working 16 hour days. Now he is a grandfather and would finally like to spend more time with his family. That makes no difference, right? The jealousy folks have and exhibit towards Coach Saban and The University of Alabama Crimson Tide never ceases to amaze me. Imagine how great it would it be for you if your favorite team and their coach was even fractionally as tremendous as Saban and the Tide!

You never watched the show? You are lucky because doing so will provide you with hours of enjoyment, or so I think. Btw, I never watched Star Wars.

OK.....I'll bite. What on Earth could possibly make you think that Oklahoma State will be a top seed? Is it the lack of worthy opponents? I give up.
