  1. Why didn't the Bills let Karlos go to rehab and then stand "fully behind" him until he got back?

     

    Because Dareus is the best DL on the team, and top 10 in the NFL. Karlos? He was gaining his weight back and not even top 3 on the team. I bet it would have been different if he was a pro-bowl player.

  2. I'm kinda sick of stupid comments coming out of the mouth of a professional football coach.

     

    Knock it off. :nana:

     

     

    But sometimes will pick him up. If it were us we'd be all for kicking the tires.

     

    Well, yes, someone could pick him up for nothing, I agree. I would think that is much more likely than someone giving the Bills a pick for him.

  3. Who is this Sullivan you speak of? I don't know who this person is.

     

    Seriously, life is more pleasant when I don't read his crap. I don't click on a link that I know is is, and I sure as hell don't support any advertisers who are on his page if I happen to land on one of his "articles." The only way to ignore him is by not giving the Buffalo News the page views and let the advertisers know I will avoid them if I see an ad on one of his pages.

  4.  

    They cut Mario and it cost them 7 million in dead money on the cap....and they "really CAN'T CUT EJ!" because it would cost them 1.6 million? Even if his replacement is a better player, the Bills HAVE TO KEEP EJ! because his salary is guaranteed?

     

    Check out their cap numbers. Tight. Wouldn't make sense to cut a backup you are already paying for a guy who really isn't any better.

  5. The thing to remember is that he's a 3RD ROUND PICK!!!! I think you draft for potential 3 years down the road in the 3rd and below. Each round you need to afford more risk, and draft for long-term upside because that's how you have to look at those players. Obsessing over taking a DL over an OL in the 3rd round because it was an immediate need is absolutely insane. Chill, dude.

  6.  

    People don't have to agree about talent evaluation or play calling or whatever, but this kind of mindless knee-jerk name calling - what value do you think it adds here?

     

    If you know something about the guy and you think it's a bad choice for educated reasons, state what they are

    Otherwise, why not STFU?

     

    Generally reading the comments this draft week makes me think that people are generally stupid, or at least go "full retard" whenever they approach a keyboard. I'm amazed at how many people think of the success of a draft in terms of what a player can do THIS YEAR vs. planning for the future.

     

    I don't profess to know much about the draft or evaluating players, but I do know abou the Bills, their needs, and their needs 2 or 3 down the road.

     

    Do you want to be successful? Plan ahead.

  7. For those interested, before they picked Brady that year, they picked....

    no first round pick

    Rd 2 - Adrian Klemm - OT

    Rd 3 - J.R. Redmond - RB

    Rd 4 - Greg Randall - OT

    Rd 5 - Dave Stachelski - TE

    Rd 5 - Jeff Marriott - G

    Rd 6 - Antwan Harris - SS

     

    then

     

    Rd 6 - Tom Brady - QB

     

    and after him...

     

    Rd 6 - David Nugent - DE

    Rd 7 - Casey Tisdale - DE

    Rd 7 - Patrick Pass - FB

     

    That's amazing. The best pick (possibly) in the history of the NFL, surrounded by mediocre (at best) picks. Proves that it really was a lucky pick in many ways. I don't know if Brady would have been as good without Belichick, and vice-versa. I really think that dumb luck created an amazing dynasty.

     

    I don't doubt that the Pats would have been a good team without Brady, and maybe won a SB, but there's no way they would have done what they did for the past 15 years without Brady. They certainly wouldn't have dominated the AFC east the way they did.

  8. I see them definitely taking a QB at 19, unless of course they pick a DB there. Then again, I feel strongly they'll go DT, however they could go LB or even DE. Safety is still a concern so they might go there at 19, still they could use another RB and might use that pick to hedge against Shady's impending 10 year jail sentence for giving lip to the Philly cops thing. So, that said, I honestly believe their pick at 19 will be the kicker from that school in Florida.

     

    I agree 100%. There's no doubt that's what the pick will be. Bank on it.

  9. This is how we go forward. Right now Glenn's cap hit is nearly 14 million....franchise tag. Sign him to a 5 year 70 million including a $20 million signing bonus....first year salary of $1.4 million, cap hit is 6.4. Savings over 7 million. Do a similar deal with Gilmour, and you'll be in great shape. Trade down a couple times for an extra couple picks, draft well and conquer.

     

    We had to get rid of lazy bones Mario Williams. Nigel is a hitter who can't really cover, so we signed that guy from Tennessee. We lost Baccari Rambo, but picked up some others. I like what they're doing. Urbik? No loss there. Hogan will hurt us both from the loss and from New England's gain.

     

    Fun times ahead.

     

    I doubt they'll move on Gilmore until after the draft, depending on who they get. If they get a good CB high, I wonder if they will count on that CB to step up next year, and let Gilmore walk.
