  1. I really do not feel like unpacking this entire response & our couple of posts back and forth - it just isn't worth the time for something so minute... If people having differing opinions that is a good thing and can help everyone learn and come to a consensus (provide all parties are looking for that outcome and not being pricks - general statement; not directed at you). I will say you are reading way more into & inferring a ton regarding the topic title and small piece of info I copied from the source article and put in there - Brownies willing to trade and Dorsey saying I'm willing to trade; it's black and white, period, done deal. You added the inference of: "Your title is not congruent with Dorsey's statement. What Dorsey is saying is if somebody wants to pay "stupid money" then ,yes, we will fleece them..." I made no reference to how much it will take to trade or that we even should trade to #1, that was all you and your thoughts; not mine. Nowhere, in this thread at least & until now, did I mention that we should trade up for Rosen, Darnold or whatever (yes we should).... Again you are inferring that my "last statement is smart-alecky as though once again you can't handle somebody who looks at it differently than you do" is also incorrect. Here is the funny thing, I actually agree with you. You can actually check out my full thoughts on this in this thread over here: https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/202273-beane-josh-rosen-will-be-one-of-the-bills-30-pre-draft-visits/?page=4 Any how I hope we are good now dude, no hard feelings here
  2. Honestly, IDK why you are being a pain in the ass about it, frankly it's stupid and a waste of time. The point was to simply get this out on our board so people can see it and comment on it like any other functioning board (I'm not going to get into the dysfunction or level of function that occurs on this board). Now that I am spending time on this - The title says "Brownies willing to Trade #1", Dorsey says (I'm parsing the quote a bit) "A lot of things I can do at #1...I'm willing to trade". I would say the title is in agreement with what he said. No where did he say he wants "stupid money" like you are inferring (I'm willing to concede; yes he wants a lot in return and why wouldn't he?). No where did he say that and I chose not to put it in the title. If you don't like the title or think it's misleading, report it and let a mod decide make your own, or stay out of the thread...Your choice... On a serious note though: Do you believe the earth is spherical?
  3. “There’s a lot of things I can do at No. 1 and not just get a quarterback,” Dorsey said Thursday at the NFL Scouting Combine. “My door is wide open if somebody wants to come up and talk to me about a trade, I’m willing to trade. But also I’m going to do what’s best for this organization, and I will do that.” http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2018/03/01/browns-open-to-everything-with-no-1-pick-including-a-trade/
  4. Figure this is a good place to drop this...sigh BJ Kissel‏Verified account @ChiefsReporter 2h2 hours ago “From the day he first stepped on the field at rookie minicamp, he’s “wowed” us...he’s one of the best players I’ve ever seen.” - #Chiefs GM Brett Veach on Patrick Mahomes.
  5. We are too far down to wait for someone slip and I am pretty sure Beane will do what he has to do to secure the guy he wants (to a reasonable degree of course)...
  6. So a quick google search: [Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC)] The prognosis of patients after recurrence was analyzed with the Kaplan-Meier method and log-rank test. The recurrence rate was 32.7%. The recurrence time ranged from 2 to 96 months, with a median of 14 months...Kaplan-Meier and log-rank tests showed that the 2- and 5-year survival rates were significantly lower in the recurrence group than in non-recurrence group (67.6% vs. 88.0%, 31.8% vs. 79.9%, P < 0.001)... Recurrence is an important prognostic factor in patients with OSCC. Camisasca et al.[2] have reported that the 5-year survival rate was 92% in OSCC patients without recurrence and 30% in patients with recurrence (P < 0.001, log-rank test). The median survival was 76.8 months in patients without recurrence and 42.5 months in patients with recurrence (P < 0.001, log-rank test). Lindenblatt et al.[3] have reported that recurrence affected the 5-year survival rate and disease-free survival of patients with OSCC. Postoperative tumor recurrence leads to a poor prognosis and a poor quality of life.
  7. We still can't replicate roman concrete which is significantly better than our current form of concrete...
  8. I couldn't resist sir! Sadly, I know your pain, your wife and mine must be related...
  9. Sorry man, she never has a problem giving me an unsolicited one...
  10. Wait until you play Madden on the PS4Pro - huge upgrade. Horizon Zero Dawn (fun game and good story as well) is just amazing on that setup...
  11. Here are the stats that matter and are related to winning the game (well in TTs case, not winning the game) Mike Rodak‏Verified account @mikerodak 4m4 minutes ago More Mike Rodak Retweeted Mike Rodak Overall, here are Taylor’s stats since 2015 when trailing by 8 or fewer points in 4th quarters: Win%: .167 (T-42nd, 3-15) Comp%: 53.5 (33rd) Y/A: 6.41 (28th) TD/INT: 0.6 (T-33rd) PSRT: 58.1 (35th) TD/A: 4.2% (23rd) INT/A: 7.0% (36th) FD/A: 26.8% (31st) SACK%: 9.8 (35th)
  12. Mahomes & Trubisky were the only 2 i liked... There were lots of "process" as well
  13. Last year/this year was dump the bad contracts, create the cap space and begin to establish the culture....
  14. Not mad at all actually; I have zero personal feelings towards you or TT. You don't care if Tyrod is under center? That's all you talk about... We didn't have a serious playoff run, we got lucky because the Ravens defense blew their lead....
  15. They didn't exactly give a ringing endorsement at all. Of course they are looking to trade him, whether before the draft, during, after or in training camp if a QB goes down. The nail in Tyrod's coffin was when the HC would rather start a 5th round rookie instead of him. If that wasn't enough, the playoff game in Jax should entirely be the end of the line since it was a winnable game... I will add this caveat, depending on how the market falls, it is somewhat possible that he finishes this year with us, but I think that is a less than 5% chance... What TT homer you are...
  16. Congrats Dude - best thing to do is what you did! Enjoy the new set!
  17. Very unlikely he will be back btw...

  20. http://buffalonews.com/2018/02/28/brandon-beane-qa-bills-gm-on-new-cb-ransoms-combine/ Q: In regard to Tyrod Taylor, how tricky is the roster bonus going to be in keeping him on the roster? A: Tyrod's on our roster right now. That's the plan. We're just taking it day by day. Like every position, we're trying to get better everywhere. We're looking at every position, including quarterback. But Tyrod did a lot of good things for us, so I'm not really worried about the bonus. I see him on the roster right now. Unless something changes, he'll be here through that part. Q: Does it make you cringe, the price it would take if you want to go into the top five to make a trade? I'm sure you like the fact you have a lot of picks. A: I do like my picks, you nailed that. It's one of those things where if you're gonna move up, especially in Round One, it takes a lot. The higher you go, it exponentially increases. So you have to feel good about what you're doing. You can't just go up there, hey, we need a quarterback, we're going to mortgage everything to go up there. We've got to know that we feel this guy is the guy and is worth the ransom or whatever you want to call it that it would take to move wherever you have to move to get a guy you think fits your long term plan. Q: Do you think it's a seller's market this year with all these teams that seem to be chasing a quarterback? A: I don't know. I haven't gotten into any deep conversations with anybody because we're still evaluating. I haven't met some of the quarterbacks. So all I've seen is them on tape. You hear some things about them, with some of the recon we've done talking to some of their coaches and trainers and people in the building. I have not met all of these quarterbacks. I'm going to meet some of them this week. Then we have a plan in March and through April until the draft to continue to process. The combine is another step. Until I can put that final value on where we see each of these quarterbacks I'm not going to worry about where I'd have to move to if we decided we need to move up and get one. Q: You only have two QBs on the roster even if Tyrod Taylor is one. Will you be looking at free agency there? A: We're looking at everything. We really are. We're seeing what's out there. This year it's been well publicized there's more veteran quarterbacks that are out there. We have to do our recon on those. If we see something that seems like it's a good fit for us and upgrades us, then we'd look to do that. Again, we're happy with where we're at with Tyrod and Nathan until we decide different, really. Q: Your view on this QB class and how has that view evolved? A: There's a lot of good players. Again, I haven't got to meet them all but there's some guys who have done a lot of good things. I know all the mocks have five, six guys, maybe some even have seven. But there's a lot of guys, different flavors, different skill sets, different personalities. Not everybody is a fit for every team. We've got to decide what's the best fit for the Buffalo Bills. Q: How important with the QBs is the personality piece and the connection with Sean McDermott and Brian Daboll? A: The intangibles of the quarterback, it's the most important position, it's a quarterback league. There's so much expected out of that position. It's the closest thing to a coach on the field. The leadership that's required. So to your point, you're going to vet a quarterback probably more than any other position. I know at Carolina, the guy we vetted the most was Cam Newton. We spent a lot of hours before we came to that decision. As we go through this process we will investigate all these guys. But we'll do that every year. Q: How do you balance the cap space you have, free agency and the chance to move up? A: Picks are valuable. I trust my scouts. I trust our vision. I trust the coaches in the process that we're going to select good players. Any time you're packaging picks in any round to move up you've got to know you're doing it for the right guy. So I do take that very seriously. I have to look at those things. There's a time to be aggressive. You've got to know when that is. Part of it's your gut. Part of it is all the research you've done on these guys. . . . I value this guy at the 12th. If he falls past 10, let's go up to get him. If he falls to 20, let's go get him there. We're in the third round and we had a second-round value, we believe in this second-round grade, let's go up and get him.
  21. We are year 2 into it (It is a 3 year job), at the end of this season there will be another churn of expiring contracts and a boatload of cap space in 2019...done
