Bill from NYC

If you are going to be holding on-line posting classes, please give us the times and dates because I am sure hundreds of us can't wait to listen and learn. I'm sure that you have much to offer after 9 posts.

What scares me about cutting Robey is that it might increase the chances of keeping Gilmore. My guess is that Gilmore wants out and Whaley would have to seriously over pay him to stay, but this is exactly what Whaley does.

Why did you stop at 2010? I was hoping you would go back until at least 2006, which imo was a huge breaking point.

I fully agree. If this article is true, it proves that qbs are worth their weight in gold (as if more proof was needed). Tyrod is decent and under contract. It is also quite possible for him to improve, but players get hurt. If we draft a qb and he plays well there is built in, major trade value. In an ideal world we could trade down and still accomplish this. I would love to get back some draft picks that Whaley squandered but I guess one can't have everything.

What about the contracts CB? How many dumb contracts does BB hand out? How much cap space does NE have. How many draft picks does BB give away as compared to how many he reaps? One is a complete pro. The other is a rank amateur.

It reminds me loosely of the time when Bledsoe lost to the Steelers and TD got SO mad at Bledsoe, he brought in the great JP Losman.

That is certainly a solid point GB but check it out....Whaley traded away many of our draft picks and has doled out insane contracts. The clause he gave to Dareus, who lacks some impulse control, was criminal. Still, the team can't touch the playoffs. That is what I call doing a bad job. Hopefully he will be fired a day or so after the draft.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't Byrd a top 5 paid safety when he left Buffalo? Salary doesn't make one great. Neither do stats. We have a thoughtful, intelligent poster who used to post color coded charts, "proving" that Rex Ryan was a good coach, and that his defense was sound. The dialogue is great, but I suppose we must agree to disagree wrt Gilmore. I was pissed when they drafted him at 10 and would be perfectly happy to get a 3rd for him as a comp pick. GO BILLS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never could quite understand the above. The fact that the Bills are approaching two decades with no playoff appearances is a disgrace. Of course we all want to win championships, but wouldn't you be even a little happy to make the playoffs?

The Bills have enough problems without Marshall and his mental disorder. When Borderlines are acting out (which unfortunately is sometimes often), these are not people you want to spend time with. It's a shame because the man had a ton of ability. http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/football/jets/brandon-marshall-borderline-personality-disorder-article-1.2141563

Like I have said, pocket passers are few and far between these days. Running qbs like Tyrod are the future of the game, or so I think.

Your standards are low if you consider Gilmore to be great. Very low.

C'mon CB, I know this. He still needs to get grounded and gain impulse control. I am rooting for Dareus as much as anyone. As for Allen, he is a solid, hard working, intelligent, extremely talented, motivated young man. If healthy, he is going to be a very, very good player.

I suspected that he was hurt in the title game. I hope is OK because again, he seems to be a great kid. I have seen all of his games and trust me, the kid can flat out play.

Jonathan Allen thinks Saban is a good man. And FWIW, Allen is NOT going to be like Dareus, he's a great kid. http://gridironnow.com/alabamas-jonathan-allen-pens-heartfelt-goodbye-letter-to-school/

I am glad to hear this good news!

Supposedly, this draft is very deep at cb. If it is, why jump at #10?

Do you really think that Gilmore wants to play in Buffalo? I am totally unimpressed by Whaley but I can't in good faith blame him if Gilmore walks. In fact, I would credit him, but that's another story.

I'm with you John, and I actually think TT is a decent quarterback who SHOULD improve this season. Still, nothing is certain and it can never hurt to draft a talented qb. Ernie Accorsi once said that a quarterback is the most important position in the NFL, and that backup quarterback is second. And this was long before the rule changes!

Kirby Smart is making a few million too! And thanks for bringing facts and common sense into the equation!!!

Sadly, this wouldn't surprise me. Hey, the best part about being a Bills Fan is Bills fans. It sure ain't the coaches and GMs.

You mean the year they went 1-15 without him?

Leave it to suffering Bills Fans to be wary of one of the greatest football minds in history. Hey, maybe Marv can come out of retirement and right this ship LOL!!! This apparently would make some folks happier than getting Saban.

He could be terrible (which he of course is not. He is great) and still be 1000x better than any of the horrid display of coaches that we have been unlucky enough to suffer through.

The man has a coaching tree the size of a redwood. Many of his assistants go on to make millions. Certainly you don't prefer the parade of loser head coaches we have been subject to, do you? Well, if our new coach doesn't work, perhaps we can bring back Rex, Gailey or Jauron and sign Whaley to an extension, that is if Nix turns us down.
