  1. Oh absolutely. So did Losman. My point is that imo, Mallett has a far better arm than CP. Nothing more.
  2. OK then! Peterson down 3, Watt and Moffett up 3.
  3. Certainly you and SJB know that there are many different types of arm strength. SJB mentions the fastball. JP Losman had a wicked fastball. Do you think that he had a better arm than Bledsoe? Drew could throw a 60 yard pass with a mile of air under it. So can Mallett. Some QBs need a big windup to get off a strong pass. Randall Cunnungham was a qb with a monster arm; he could toss a ball 80 yards but he needed to step into his throws a lot. Elway once threw a 50 yard pass ACROSS the field, on the run. Which one do you think had a better arm. Mallett can flick a 25 yard checkdown with zip on it from his wrist, or stand still and throw a 50 yard post while flat footed. He may not possess the strongest arm in each and every phase of football, but his arm strength is off the charts. Coach Saban said that he makes 3 or 4 throws per game that nobody else in the would can make. That tells me a lot, ya know?
  4. So, if the Bills draft a qb at #3, will you be ready to call Nix a "complete moron?" Or, do you think that Mr. Wilson will make the call?
  5. And Evans wasn't exactly a top quality pick. Seriously.
  6. This is an outrageous comment. Mallet throws a FAR better ball flat footed than CK does with a running start. You think the kid is good? Fine. But in terms of arm strength, Mallet could probably throw him 50 or 60 yards. It isn't remotely close.
  7. Does this call for us to vote on more than 1 player? Btw, I think that I speak for every credible poster on this board when I say thank you SO much for your effort, intensity, and the great dialogue that you have provided to this board. Your work is much appreciated; do keep it up, ok?
  8. Mallett up 3.
  9. I can respect what you are saying. But the question remains, do you think that the Bills are big and strong enough to compete in the NFL? I think that the answer is obvious. At SOME point, they will have to stop wasting top picks on small, under productive "skill" players. Why not now? If we keep using our best picks and financial resources on rbs and dbs, can we reasonably expect to win football games? True. In 2007, I was still in pain from the 2006 draft that you continue to defend. If they draft Gabbert I will not be sickened ala selections such as Spiller, McKelvin and Lil' Donte, because I do believe that Gailey has a very good offensive mind and knows what he is looking at. I am just not overly impressed from what I have seen of him.
  10. 1) Miller had great combine numbers. So did Mike Mamula and Vern Gholston so I'm not that swayed. Miller is small. We need to get stronger, not smaller. 2) I can't help it.....Gabbert reminds me of Trent. I only saw him on youtube, but this guy is a checkdown machine imo. 3) Investing a # 3 in a corner and making him the highest player on this team would be a Levy/Jauron act of monumental idiocy. Mel Blount was as good as I have ever seen at cb. To those of you who saw the "Steel Curtain," raise you hand if you think Blount was as important as Joe Greene, LC Greenwood, Jack Lambert or Jack Hamm? I would rather take a supposed "reach" player who would offer a chance at greatness than settle for any of the above. This football team already has too much invested in small, non-impact players such as Evans, Whitner, Spiller, McKelvin, and a host of non-productve others. I want the Bills to have a great quarterback and a strong football team. When they accomplish this, they will win football games. End of rant; jmo.
  11. I disagree. Levy/Jauron were driven by a philosophy that defensive backs and special teams were the most important phases of football. Look if you will at the 2006 draft. They shunned quarterbacks, offensive tackles, and the best DT in the draft to take 3 defensive backs with their first 4 picks, and even traded away an early 3rd to achieve this mess. As for the running back selections, I think that they had Ralph's signature on them in order to sell tickets, with Spiller being a glaring example. Jmo.
  12. That says it all.
  13. This IS really going out on a limb.
  14. Sorry, I disagree. I am not happy that they took a small, part time player at a position in which we had some depth with the #9 selection of a draft. And if they thought he was the bpa they were obviously wrong, and this doesn't take team needs into account. The above said, I am 100% sure that Nix/Gailey are better than the combo of Levy/Jauron. They couldn't possibly be that inept and after all, this was year 1 for Nix as a GM. But, he is a football personnel man, and he has a golden opportunity to improve this team. As for Gailey, he has proven that he can at least run an offense. Hope springs eternal for Bills fans before a draft.
  15. Do you remember when we were talking back and forth on draft day/2008 when you posted (in round 7), "holy s---t, we drafted another corner." Time does fly. I will be ok with the Bills drafting a qb at 3, but there is no room for them to miss. Aside from that, I too would be fine with Watt, to be followed by a RT (or a quality TE) in round 2. The team would be stronger, which is a huge step in the right direction.
  16. Worse things could happen Pete, ya know?
  17. Very good article. It makes me think that Watt will go higher than expected.
  18. Mallett to Dallas in the first round.
  19. I have no quarrel with what you say. Seriously. Nobody else would have hired these two incompetent men in their capacities. Levy was a washed up coach hired to be a GM, and Jauron was/is a proven loser. And, Ralph is ultimately to blame. Still, their incompetence was devestating to this franchise. Our only hope is that Nix/Gailey can right the ship and as much as I crave this, it is admittedly a reach, especially after the Spiller selection. The good news is that hope springs eternal before every draft, and it is that much better having the #3. GO BILLS!!!!!!~!!!!!
  20. And there is no excuse for this. It is something I will never accept, nor should any serious Bills fan. The damage done by Levy/Jauron to this team is immeasurable. We will never be any good until we are a strong football team. Using our best resources to draft defensive backs and running backs will keep us in the basement, and this team will be a non-factor until this idiotic mentality is completely purged. The Spiller selection was not a good sign. As for this article, I like the comparison to Marino, and Mallett in some ways might have an even better arm. Do I think we will draft him? No. Do I think he will be a huge success in the NFL? Absolutely.
  21. http://www.drafthistory.com/ I absoluely agree with the writer.
  22. Agreed. Hansen played "bigger" than he actually was. He got great angles on his pass rush, and when Bruce and Bryce were on the team, he was superb. He was a fierce hitter with great technique. And yes, he did a lot of dirty work. I for one wouldn't mention Hansen and Whitner in the same sentence in terms of ability and making plays.
