Thank you for the grammar correction. Clinton, self destructive? No argument there. With respect to GWB, he was likely to have been the dumbest president in modern times. His degrees are as meaningless as is his "service" record. He is and was, nothing more that a product of "privilege". Here's a man who earned nothing in his entire life and yet managed to fool enough people to become president. For that alone, he earned kudos, but onlyg but disdain for everything else he did.

"Countin' flowers on the wall That don't bother me at all Playin' solitaire till dawn with a deck of fifty-one Smokin' cigarettes and watchin' Captain Kangaroo Now don't tell me I've nothin' to do"

RIP. May God watch over your family.......

Nice, but a bit revisionist. Kelly did show considerable promise in 86 & 87 (in the NFL). It's not true that he was an unknown at this point. Doubters existed, but he had already shown quite a bit as well.

Where's the love for Steve Johnson coming from? What has he done? Nothing. Now if he proves to be better than the bulk, so be it, but he must earn his job. He has no "in" just because he was with the Bills for a couple years.

It's not as if the "schools" weren't influenced at all by who his family was. They were as honorary as if he was just granted the degrees today. Also, how about his "Guard/Reserve" record? His own commanders don't recall George. Yeah, he served. If you believe that, may God have mercy on you. If I recall correctly, George also only managed a C average in "earning his gifts". Yeah, those "degrees" were real....... Give us a break. George was nothing more than a poster child of privilege. To deny that George Bush was the least intelligent president we've had only shows an individual who is so hung in their GOP Right Wing prejudice and mindset that reality and truth are meaningless to them. To compound matters even more, the GOP has scoured the nation for someone as stupid as Bush and they found her in Sara Palin. (corrected.....)

Again, chance just for change sake is dumb. Arrogance has nothing to do with it, unless it's your own for beating this unlikely idea to death. Troy Smith, outside of your self and possibly his family, is not a well regarded NFL QB.

Antowain played OK, but did have the clincher at the end....

.....and so might my son......in about 6 years. Tory Smith - no better, and likely worse that what we already have. Change for change sake isn't progress, it's just plain dumb.

How many times do you need it pointed out that the Bills (and a number of other teams as well) did not see Tebow, Clausen, or McCoy as top draft choices. The Bills were not alone in this evaluation of their talent. Anyone one of these guys may prove the pundits wrong, but again the Bills were not alone in passing on these wonders of yours. I guess you just can't let it go that outside of Bradford, none of the others were seen as warranting a high draft pick.

We have looked "outside the box" and Troy Smith is not a savior. Heck, at OU, he wasn't even a decent passer for crying out loud. Time to move on.

Again, you over-simplify your position. With multiple speedy weapons, it's just not that easy.

It would be great if no one ever brought up "Madden" again with respect to the Bills, and the evaluation of their talent. But then again, old timers could begin to bring up Strat-o-matic Football ratings (for those who might have played the game when they were young). For crying out loud, they're games first and foremost!

He's currently under contract. He should be fined for the missed mandatory OTA, and any time he misses in camp. His retirement and posturing for a trade to a Texas based team (to be near his home) ruined any trade value he may have had, so let him rot. If he wants to come back and play, fine. If he stays away, fine.... I would have said we should accommodate a trade for him had he kept his big mouth shut, without retirement talk or his desire to no longer play in Buffalo. At least then the Bills may have been able to get something for him. I'm sorry, but he can go piss up a tree at this point since he played this the way he did.

That is a fairly accurate evaluation of Flutie's 1999 regular season performance. Had he achieved some of 1998 successes, he never would have been benched. What carried the Bills in 1999 was the defense, plain and simple. in 1999, Flutie had to have set a record for most passes batted down in a single season. Flutie was forced by the opposing defenses to be a pocket passer and he simply wasn't good at it.

Careful PTR, you'll draw the venom of the right any minute now. They surely don't wish to hear about other major economies functioning well that are much more "regulated" that ours. Canada, Germany, Japan, etc.......but hey, we're the USA, we're always right, even when we're wrong. They won't believe you anyway. Gordon Gekko (first version) is their God, and they are the workers for the airline he's about to destroy.

Well said Doc. As A PR, he had 4 very good years with only last year being sub-standard. While he was in Jauron's doghouse which cost him playing time and opportunities. A clean slate may be just what the "Doc" ordered for Roscoe. WR cuts may well be very interesting indeed, especially of one or more of the UDFA's end up showing real potential/talent. We currently have Roscoe who really hasn't shown he's a viable WR, Steve Johnson who despite his fan clubs hasn't shown much, Hardy who needs to show something now, and Felton Huggins who is perennial camp fodder.........

He reminds me of no one, yet! Give the guy a chance to play first for pete's sake. He hasn't even taken a snap yet. When 2010 ends, then at least there may be a body of work in which to evaluate his play and compare him a bit more knowledgeably.

.......and the broken record played on, and on, and on, and on, and.........

Well, that's fine for you. While its does not always apply (Terry Glenn 90 catches as a rookie, for example), in Eric Moulds case, it definitely applied. As is usually the case, the reality lies somewhere in between.

.....up his azzzzz? (Just kidding.......just couldn't resist the blatant setup)

Billy Kilmer? No arm, no real QB skills at all, but was tough as nails. The best thing about Kilmer when he played for the Redskins was that Sonny Jurgensen was his backup (late in Sonny's career). Sonny was an excellent QB.

Defenses merely had to keep Flutie in the pocket to render him far less effective, which all of our opposition did in 1999. That was their focus and Flutie's play suffered considerably. Yet, as poorly as Johnson played, one could still make the case that we may have been better off in a big game to have Flutie play rather than Johnson. However, any talk of our advancing had the Bills beaten the official/Titans is silly. As already pointed out, our offensive line was in pitiful shape. Fina was hurt, Hicks (RT) was hurt, as well as others. Our Offense didn't have a chance no matter who we would have played next.

Actually, Moorman had his share of miscues last year and wasn't the same guy form a few years back. He's good but he slipped a bit. I hope he can rebound, but even more so, I hope we need less of his services than we've needed for the past number of years. Kelsay effective against the run? Wow, where did that come from? When has he ever shown that he could be effective against the run? Yikes....

You might wish to try this then. TO showed he still had the ability to get deep, beating single coverage (as long as it wasn't Reavis providing the coverage that is) occasionally. However, the rest of his game is gone gents. He has no heart to go over the middle and on the rare occasions he di, he had serious alligator arms and hands. He dropped numerous balls, which he has always done, but with the bulk of his game diminishing, that is now a big problem. He also had numerous times where he could have fought for the ball, but never did. Some were intercepted, more fell incomplete. Sorry, but the TO you saw last year must be a different one than the one I saw. With no fight in him or the desire or ability to come back on the ball, I'm glad he's no longer a Bill. TO was signed for one year, and he did nothing to deserve another, either with Buffalo or with anyone else.
