Bill from NYC

CB, I am not saying that no team would pick up Marcel for a fraction of his ridiculous contract. I am saying that no team would trade a good quarterback for Dareus, his contract, and his issues. Nobody would be that dumb.

What do you think of Wisconsin? Is it me or do they get better every year?

No. it's all good..... The thing that seems to be hard for you and many others to accept is that Dareus, with his crazy contract, serious behavioral issues, and perhaps limited production, is not an asset. In fact, in terms of trade value he is all but worthless. Smith is often slighted on this board when being discussed but imo he is a good quarterback. What NFL team would be dumb enough to give up a good quarterback for Dareus and inherit that salary, those contract clauses, and his off field antics? Sad but true.

What makes it funnier is that he used to be "AlwaysBillieve."

Scott, I don't pretend to fully understand this issue but I find it interesting. That said, the following is a question, NOT a suggestion....... Would it make sense if posters on TBD paid you, and you in turn could make whatever arrangements with the BN, etc. as you deem fit? This way, we could still get the benefits of this site and you could decide how much money (if any) to allot to local publications. If you think this would work, count me in. I am not a rich man but 3 dollars per month or 12 dollars per year is nothing but again, I don't pretend to understand this business. As far as the NYT, I agree with you 100%. I think the Times is a garbage publication but I also think that those who like it should pay if that's what it takes.

As you totally know, the rookie cap makes drafting a Jamarcus Russell or Ryan Leaf less of a franchise killer than it used to be. They have to keep trying until they click and I hope they use some picks on blockers to protect their young qb. Incog is old, Mills sucks, Glenn isn't healthy, etc.

Consider checking in on Promo's thread.

Congrats! Your decades long hatred of Bills Fans has reached a new plateau. Now you, at your sanctimonious best, are offering us the chance to "check out" if we don't toe your rather dim witted line which demands that we agree with you? As Stephen Stills once said, "sit yourself down, take a look around."

He looks like he would be a superstar playing at Guard. Jmo.

I wonder how much damage is already done. Not that it matters much but on a you tube video in which Cowherd was talking about a pro team hiring Coach Saban, he said that Luck's insides are bleeding, and this was a couple of years ago.

Others in this thread don't know this but you predicted the Bledsoe trade over a beer in Lot 1 (Pole 5) at RWS.....a year before it went down. Of course getting Luck seems unlikely, but not out of the realm of possibility. Would I be for it? If the Bills were able to get a clear look at his medical issues and he comes up healthy, certainly. The man is a super talent.

Of course not. Gilmore is a shut down corner. There was never a play in all of his years with the Bills that was his fault.

Bottle returns?

Boldin is lucky to have 1 good year left even with Brady at qb. Imo he is old and all but useless. Now, toss the fact that the Bills are going nowhere this season and yes, even a late round pick sounds good.

You are probably right CB but I am going to go out on a limb here and say that imo, Miller is vastly overrated on this board. That said, Ducasse might be one of the worst players in football.

I sure do have my share WaT. I said that Rob Johnson would be a great quarterback and wasn't too concerned when the Bills got rid of Pat Williams. I also made a bet with cb97 that Aaron Murray would be drafted by the 3rd round (thus his signature which will probably stay up until Judgement Day ) Still, my record is better than all of the Bills GMs combined, and it pales in comparison to R.Rich, BADOL, most (not all) of the draftniks on this board, and a slew of other posters on this board. On THIS BOARD Wat!!! Maybin? An overweight, injured RT (Williams) over McKinnie? Whitner? Roscoe Parrish? Giving up the world for Watkins? Spiller? Two 4th round picks to move 8 spots in round 2 for Ragland? I left out a slew of disasters, and won't even get into the nutty, weird extensions and free agent signings. But in any event you are right. Pros will miss on draft picks very often, let alone people like us. Still, it's almost as if it would be hard to draft as poorly as the Bills even if one was trying to do so. We will know in May of 2018 if things have changed.

Absolutely.

Dave, I can't speak for everyone but I don't see any grave dancing. In fact, I wish him well and from day one I said that he was one of the worst draft choices I had ever seen. That is a heavy statement coming from a Bills Fan. It isn't about hate dave. Imo people marvel at the fact that posters on a message board (with you near the top of the list) have been on the money WAY more than Bills management. It is pretty amazing, wouldn't you say? He seemed to be a good person and I pray that he and his family are successful in their future endeavors.

Wasn't he on the verge of saving humanity? In any event he is old and washed up. I would be all over a 7th.

Please explain to me how drafting yet another 1st round corner does in fact "support the development" of a young quarterback next year. IMO, the only excuse for not drafting a qb would be if they didn't think he was a good one. The rules favor the qb so much that a player such as Brady can play at 40. Years ago he would be beaten half to death at his age. Receivers own the middle these days as well. Teams run sets with 4 or 5 wideouts. A corner only covers one of them, and we drafted other 1st round corner, qb problems notwithstanding. It was dumb and it doesn't matter how good this corner is either, UNLESS all of the quarterbacks drafted at #10 or after suck.

Don't worry Bro. If he is 3rd on a depth chart at any position on the offensive line of the Buffalo Bills, you can bet your last dollar that he sucks and that his NFL future is dim to say the least.

51-0 New England.

There is not one chance that the Bills will pick at 15. I mean none whatsoever. Thanks for the effort but why not do one with the Bills drafting a #5.

Ya think? Go on you tube and look at some of the plays he is making in SF. So did I yolo. I said it many times to John C. that there were at least 3 better blockers on that same team.

Scott, I think a question we can ask ourselves is, IF the Bills could release or trade Dareus with little to no cap consequences, how would you feel about doing so? You see what I mean? This scenario changes things quite a bit imo. I have been a fan of his since he was on the Tide and I am admittedly getting fed up. Greg Cossell says that Allen has more raw talent than Darnold. I haven't seen enough of him to have a pertinent remark but I intend to watch him this season if/when I can.
