I vote for the best possible candidate, whether that is Brohm or Edwards. Part of me would like to see what Brohm can do given the full offense package, which he did not get against Atlanta last year. I did not mention Fitz because his scatter shot accuracy drove me nuts last year. One good throw, two poor throws, one mediocre one, etc. I liiked his intangibles, but his arm, not at all. In watching Brohm in the preseason when he was with GB, and in our game against Atlanta last year, I do worry he may be an interception machine. While he appears to have touch, his out route throws do seem to lack the strength desired also. May the best QB win......AND be successful. We deserve it after all these years since JK.

Character can be divided into segments, such as personal and profession (in this case football). Levy himself spoke of character but he did add he was speaking more of professional/football character than personal. In some cases, some of these scumbags (Rothlisberger, etc) actually put forth tremendous effort in their profession only to be complete turds personally (off the field). Their profession is what gives them their direction. Most of these guys have been stars (high school, college) and have been fairly well pampered and unfortunately, for the sake of their talent, a blind eye was given to their digressions. This is the one area of Goodell's reign that I like, and that's that there's finally a standard of conduct being applied to these guys. In some ways, Goodell could be much tougher, but it's start.

While Butler may have some supporters here, he too was a problem. Just look at the Bills team Polian had assembled, and Butler only oversaw it's demise. He never came close to reloading the Bills to continue to be a quality team. Once Bruce, Andre, and Thurman moved on, we've basically been a train wreck since.

Maybe I was lucky, but I have had four mortgages with Wells Fargo. Two were for new home purchases, and two re-fi's. Not a single one took more than a month to close on.

A matter of pessimism? I thought it's a pragmatic evaluation of the state of the Bills and not having a playoff team since the 1999 season ended.

Led Zeppelin - Physical Grafftti Alice In Chains - Dirt Metallica - Black Beatles - Abbey Road Gerry Rafferty - Baker Street I guess I'm somewhat stuck in a time warp...... Yet, this is impossible, I'd be changing them all the Time.

Turns lemons into lemonade? Just makes plays? I guess I've missed them. 12 catches over two years, with only two of them last year. How many "plays" could he have made?

Actually, the Bills began their slide during Levy's last few years. Our once dominate offensive line was rendered impotent with the likes of Fina (adequate), Crofts (horrible), Ziegler (poor), Ostroski (barely adequate Guard, poor tackle), etc....... Our stars were aging (Kelly, Smith, Thomas, Reed) and frankly, the cupboard ran bare trying to find others able to step in and play. I used to curse Levy for not giving the O-Line the attention it needed. This characteristic unfortunately cared over into the next regimes and to this very day. Last years pick of Wood and Levitre was actually a good step in the right direction though.

There will always be the exception. Good to hear old Jack is still sharp, although I haven't followed the NBA in a long long time now. Say, is John Hummer still playing? (Good that bum was pitiful ...)

Ronnie Jones? He also hired some bum from UB (Bowman) to coach the TE's who was (I'm told) a neighbor of his at the time. Wade wasn't thinking to brightly, and that surely didn;t surprise me. He was a good DC who never should have been a HC. The Cowboys can have old humpty dumpty....Jones runs the show anyway.

Sure did, you missed Gailey's/Nix's comments when he was drafted. He's someone to develop.

Stuck, what the hell are you talking about, or better, "what you talking bout Willis?" I grew up in Kenmore, and while I also lived in Cheektowaga, Depew, Tonawanda, etc., Kenmore was my town/village of residence during most of my 30 years in Buffalo. Enlighten me..... Their DWI (DUI for non-Buffalonians) record may be impressive but no more so than most places. Heck, one of the biggest drunks in Kenmore back in the mid-80's was a Kenmore Cop. His name was "Kir..." never mind. If you know Kenmore, you know who I just started to mention. Care to look at Ohio with the same skeptical eye? I also lived in Dayton, OH, where DUI road blocks were darned near a weekly thing.

Gary Anderson.......drafted by the Bills and cut before the season began....

I have a son sho had leukemnia a the age of two. He is now 11 years old and I do hug him many tines a day. He is doing well.

That's exactly what I saw far too often last year from Mr. TO "Superstar".....

Nice guy, but the team was on a downward trend under him. I can't forget him telling the team we're out of it before that 2000 Indianapolis game when both Indy and Buffalo were still alive (we were both at 7-6). Of course, Indy beat us handily and they made the playoffs. Wade may have been better than what we've had the past decade, but that still doesn't say much for him.

You mean, "They decide, it's nothing about reporting".

John, normally a man of reason...................... The above isn't going to happen.

"Brees' college success led to projections that he would be a mid-to-late first round draft pick in the 2001 NFL Draft, but he slipped due to concerns about his relatively short stature for a professional quarterback (6'0"), a perceived lack of arm strength, and a sense that he had succeeded in college in a system designed for him." Source - Wikipedia Just saying......

You may be right............. Pretty sad.

This is a message board. A place where optimists and pessimists (seemingly a majority) can co-exist. In fact, they should well be able to feed off each other. Makes for a healthy exchange of ideas and opinions. But I am curious as to why you think anyone will really give a crap what you said now by mid season. Even if you are right by mid-season, there won't be any Nobel prizes waiting for you.....

Lets look at Maybin for a moment. He was basically a one year wonder at Penn State. Not the most experienced player, especially considering where he was taken in the draft. He's now having to learn a new position. This may well take more than just some OTA's and mini-camps. With that said, he was a bad pick in 2009 and a year later, he's shown nothing to change that. While he may prove to be a good player still, the likelihood seems to be diminishing rather quickly. With many here wishing for Orakpo and myself looking for Oher, this was yet another Bills first round disappointment for us. Will Maybin change our minds? It is looking like that won't be happening.

There are plenty of sports "journalists" and reporters covering the game as it stands today. Larry, bringing with him the history of the game and the old AFL days, is frankly quite refreshing. Sadly, when the facts begin to get distorted, or confused, then it may be time for Larry to find another avenue for his passion. Before Pat Summerall "retired" it became very painful to listen to him. Van Miller wasn't the same his last couple of years either. Age doe slow one, and the mind does not always stay sharp either. That may not be politically correct to say, but there is truth there.

Sir, you have issues that none of us here can help you with. And by the way, Bruce was an ass in addition to being one of the all time greats. Schobel played very well (not to Bruce Smith's level of course) but very well none the less. ......and YOUR posts are the most racist posts I've read at this site.

....as do many of us....
