Here's hoping the Bills will turn a blind eye to all that political BS and keep the best player at every position not just WR. I really could care less about signing bonus', draft position, or who was managing the team when the guys was brought in.

Has anyone else noticed the irony that Marv being an old dude seems to not want old players? You would think he would have more respect for the elderly.

This pick was all about replacing the name Williams on the D line so people will (or maybe won't) forget about Pat.

Amen

I'm confused. (Which is easy for me) Wasn't one of our biggest weaknesses the OL? Yes the DL was weak also, but no OL in the first 3 rounds? Come on even the most optimistic of you have to at least question that. Here's hoping day 2 brings WM some help. If not, then here's hoping our new D can pitch a lot of shutouts.

If the Bills were so scared to trade out of the 8th pick to get Whitner, then why didn't they trade up to get him? For those of you who keep insisting that he may not have been there a couple of picks down, well you are right, he may not have been. But he may not have been there at 8 also, so why didn't we trade up to #1 & make sure we got the man we wanted? Answer: Because he wasn't worth the first overall pick. Who says he isn't worth it? Apparently the Bills because they didn't trade up. It's about value. Also if they were so enamored with him why did it take so long to make the selection?

But if you don't put a value on a player then how do you create a draft board?

The Bills are buying Cadillacs (Good Players) but paying Ferrari money for them. Come on people, the draft is all about value.

I guess you can rationalize anything if you try hard enough

Well, after that pick I guess I won't be shocked by any other moves the Bills make in the future. I guess we can expect to see us draft in the 2nd round a RB, and 2 WRs in the 3rd. What a joke!

MM was complaining about Willis not running strait ahead all last season. That he was doing to much dancing in the back field. I thought like you, that he didn't bounce it outside enough because there wasn't any holes up the middle. Thanks for the re-cap.

Cheer for any team playing against the "new" Bills.

Let me play devils advocate here. He was kind of weak on his wording of the subject. Almost like a politician would word it so that if a trade does come down the line he can say "I never said I wouldn't consider any offers or that we didn't want any offers, only that there was no substance to the rumor, and that no one had made an offer yet." Why didn't he just say "We not interested in a trade, end of story" OK I don't really believe that, and I do think JP is genuinely in the Bills plans, but I just wanted to beat the Marv Bashers to the punch.

It must have just been me. But when JP was on the field I felt a lot more excitement in the offense's play. Like at any time we could score. With Holcomb I felt the offense had to struggle for every yard it gained. Maybe because it seemed like it took 3 completed passes in a row to get 1 first down when Holcomb was in. JP might not beat out Holcomb or Nall, but God I hope it's Nall then.

I'm one of the above. One of the biggest problems I see is that people can not agree to disagree with maturity. It has to result in name calling and insulting you mother. Which is sad, because a “good” argument can lead to insight and actually create more exciting topics to be discussed? If you can ignore the aforementioned posts, you'll find that this board can be very knowledgeable. Happy posting.

I say we treat the whole team like we are treating Losman. If after 8 games they don't make the pro-bowl... call for their head. Oh wait! That's means the only ones left on the team are a punter and long snapper. Never mind.

There are some things that even Marv can't fix.

The Bills also have a RB who's all about the money.

In order to keep the competitiveness of the NFL, revenue sharing is a must. That is a given. But if I'm a Daniel Snyder, why would continue selling my stadium's name or any other "local" merchandise, if I'm going to end up giving it to the NFL. Especially when some teams don't sell their stadiums names at all. Like the Bills. Maybe the NFL need to either force all teams to sell their stadium's name, or tax the ones that don't an amount worthy of value of their stadium’s name. Or cap the amount of extra revenue a team can bring in on its own. I can see the NFL not wanting to limit any income so capping revenue seems unlikely. The only other option I can see is the NFL taking control of all merchandising for all the teams, and then splitting it up.

It may not have an effect on his play but it certainly had an effect on his judgement. Would he have quit football if it wasn't for his "need" for weed? I don't thing so.

Reasons why not to legalize any drugs.... 1. Ricky Williams. I rest my case.

IMO if the new regieme has any doubts about JP they should unload him now. If they have doubts, then the first sign of trouble they are not going to be confident enough in him to work it out. They will yank him, and we'll have 2005 all over again. Personally I think it would be a mistake, but if they don't trust him, they should dump him. Of coarse then I see him going to the Jets or Dolphins and kicking our @#$.

I've herd crazier ideas. Like a 328 lb. undrafted TE bring converted to the starting right tackle. I guess I would have to know if there is a benefit to having him cut before training camp, or if the experiment doesn't work, cutting him during the normal cut down dates.

Just what we need another rookie coordinator! Yikes! How is DJ suppose to delicate responsibility to his coordinators and just over see everything, when he has to worry about a rookie DC. Come on this hire is a joke. BTW I just wanted to be the first person to B word and complain about the hire. I really think the new DC will be fine.

Yeah! Let's trade our 1st round QB who's had 8 whole games of playing time, for a 3rd string QB with even less time and a 3 round pick. Wait let's trade Evans and Mcgahee for thier 5th Reciever and 4th running back, and get thier 4th and 5th round picks.
