Colt McCoy To Be Released Soon
Saint Doug replied to DefenseWins's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nice job, Buddy. Doomed. -
I don't know about TJ being good or not, but most playoff teams have shown us that having 2 #1 receivers is not necessary. An great QB should be able to make all WRs shine.

Those who like the Kolb signing post here
Saint Doug replied to Kellyto83TD's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm perfectly fine with it. I don't think this guy got a fair shake. Let's see what he can bring, but this signing should not prevent the Bills from taking a QB in rd 1 or 2 (preferably 1). -
Cool and Calm look at Bills moves
Saint Doug replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
They may have lucked out indeed. But, they now have very promising QBs and may be set for years. That's not going to happen, ever, if you're sitting on the sideline wondering about getting in the game. That's why I fault Nix. Even if we drafted a QB in the first round each of the 3 years and struck out with each one of them (an unlikely scenario), we would still be no worse off than we are right now. He didn't even try, but other teams did and they're now reaping the rewards. -
Cool and Calm look at Bills moves
Saint Doug replied to Alphadawg7's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
But that was the same logic behind not taking one the last 3 years. I know you think drafting a good QB is hard, which is why 9/10 of us wouldn't be able to pick one, but that doesn't give Nix an excuse for not being able to identify a winner. He's a professional, likely making more money we could ever wish for. Him and his men have got to start working for it. As for the OP, great post. But, I'm going to remain guarded in terms of us picking Byrd over Levitre. We've basically signed him to a 1 year contract, same as we did with Nate Clements. We've heard nothing about us trying to iron out a long term contract with him. I'll believe it when it happens. As for Kolb, this is a situation where we were aiming to upgrade a position and we did. We only had 1 real QB on the roster, a questionable one at best (there's a reason he was inactive every game last year, supposedly due to lack of game plan knowledge, and now he has learn a new one). Kolb will be TJ's competition and it didn't cost a pick. Who knows what will happen with him. He's relatively young and hasn't been given a fair shake. Some QBs take longer to develop than others. -
I think if the Bills thought a #2 WR was a need, they would have addressed it in FA. Plus, I don't think 2 #1 WRs is needed. Most playoff teams, especially the ones who go deep, while solid at both WR positions, don't have 2 #1s. What we do need, perhaps more than any position (excluding QB) are LBs. Second need would be CB. If Geno/Barkley is gone by 8, take a LB or trade up, then try to trade back into 1st to take a QB later.

Bills officially sign QB Kevin Kolb
Saint Doug replied to 26CornerBlitz's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have absolutely no problem with this signing, just the way it went down. Kolb was cut by the Cards 2 weeks ago. He could have easily been picked up by a number of teams. Why did it take so long for the Bills to come to the conclusion he would be a viable option? Either the Bills haven't prepared themselves for multiple possibilities (i.e. the possibility of the Cards cutting Kolb and how they would respond), don't have a general plan to improve their QB position, or just don't plain know what they want. -
Awesome signing. We got good value here.

So, you think the Bills draft badly???
Saint Doug replied to Dr. Trooth's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Comparing number of starters per draft with other teams is precarious at best. Just because our former draftees are starting for the Bills doesn't mean they would start for other teams, or even still be in the NFL if it wasn't for the Bills. Case in point, Aaron Williams or our entire starting LBs. -
A word about Marcel Dareus and last year
Saint Doug replied to Kelly the Dog's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm going to blame his slump on Wanny. Isn't a coaches job to get their players mentally ready for a game? Didn't happen with Dareus, nor with half of the players on defense. -
Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu - CB - LSU
Saint Doug replied to dbflaBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Just imagine the mayhem he'd cause at Dave & Buster's. -
Tyrann "Honey Badger" Mathieu - CB - LSU
Saint Doug replied to dbflaBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He'll go in the 2nd, if not late 1st. He's undoubtedly a 1st round talent, just very immature. If you can afford the risk, like many teams drafting late in the round can, he could end up being a steal. Can you just imagine our secondary with him? Isn't smoking weed a prerequisite for an NFL career though? -
Possible Flynn trade to Raiders, Palmer to Cardinals
Saint Doug replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
You know, it's going to be something ridiculous, like a 6th rounder, and TSW is going to collectively ask why didn't the Bills make that trade and then head to the nearest cliff. -
Tyler Bray - QB - Tennessee
Saint Doug replied to San Jose Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
For this reason alone, we should pass. Perhaps we should send an anonymous message to the Bills FO not to forget to check out his back. -
ESPN Insider : McShay latest 2 rd mock draft
Saint Doug replied to Dat Dude's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This will never happen. Bills FO already has shown is they do not value the guard position. Hence the dumpster diving they do to fill it. Hence the failure to sign Levitre. -
Bills Current Cap Situation updated
Saint Doug replied to Dr. Trooth's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm quite certain this is going to happen, and the Bills brass does too, hence the FA in activity. There's a difference between going on a FA spending spree and signing enough FAs in order to have a near-complete roster. I see the Bills doing neither. Which is fine, I suppose. I don't see us going anywhere with the current roster even with did spend a bit on FAs. Might as well conserve the money for when we become competitive. -
Great read on this yrs QB's class
Saint Doug replied to Bufcomments's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I do agree that Barkley will likely be the first QB off the board. -
Jamarcus Russell Making a Comeback
Saint Doug replied to truth on hold's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
OK, this guy's been making a comeback for about a month or 2 now. Can't wait for his "pro day". Should prove to be highly entertaining around here. -
Very close. Statistics say, given there is 1,696 players in the NFL, not even counting PS players, and homosexual males make up about 2% of the US population (http://abcnews.go.com/m/story?id=13320565), then there is about 34 homosexual players in the NFL. Edit: oops, I see this has already been discussed.

Fred Davis FA TE has dinner with Bills brass
Saint Doug replied to Scott_36's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The anti-Big Ben rhetoric on this board truly is astounding. The dude did stuff that each and every one of us either did (or wish we did) back in college. But, since he's won 2 Superbowls and should be acting like a grown man, he's the devil reincarnate. As for Davis, the dude talks like he's among the top TEs in the league. Even when healthy, I never saw that in his game. -
I maybe don't love it per se, but it certainly does appeal to my morbid curiosity.

New Stadium Already Being Discussed?
Saint Doug replied to BRAWNDO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Either that is the standard IQ as we know it is dumb. Googling shows an initiative to learn.
