By the looks of the video, it wouldn't surprise me if Marrone told Russ/Nix/Whaley that he could revive Fitz. This worries me.

The NFL should investigate this for sure. And I won't shed a tear if RG3 misses time in 2013 due to this. He's an adult. If he feels he needs medical attention, he should ask for it. And it's Shannahan's job as HC to be able to identify potential injuries to his players and refer them to the medical staff to further evaluate any such bodily insults. And I just love the way Dr. Andrews threw up his arms and said "he's running, he must be OK". How unprofessional can one get. Somewhere in this story is the truth and I don't think Dr Andrews is the idiot he makes himself out to be. I feel the NFL needs to be more aggressive in protecting its players. I'm fine with players becoming injured due to violent, aggressive play. It's part of the game. But to knowingly put an already injured player back on the field is wrong. It should be punishable via a loss of a draft pick. Fines do nothing.

When I say "fall", I meant "fall" a whole round (and I'm sure you did too) like Claussin or Mallet. Nassib will not fall to the 3rd round. If anything, he'll move up to the 2nd or even late 1st. Just look at last year's QB class. There were many that moved up into the 1st that nobody would have predicted to. As for Aaron Rodgers, being picked 23 is not a fall. In fact, based on his college career, he was picked in the appropriate spot. And as someone else pointed out, Marino and Favre are from a much different era. The premium that is placed on QBs in the current NFL is huge compared to back then.

The only way we move up to 1 or 2 is to package Spiller. And there's no QB worth that trade. No one cares about Jackson. As far as the NFL is concerned, he's done. It is extremely rare for a QB to fall. They go the opposite way, up. And when they do fall, it's because it's consensus among the GMs that he's likely a bust and that's pretty damning.

All this 3-4, 4-3 stuff is nonsense. First, good DCs out there are not running pure 3-4s or 4-3s. Second, there's likely no such DC currently employed by an NFL team who doesn't know how to run both. If he doesn't, he doesn't take his career seriously, which would be unprofessional. That said, if you held a toy gun up to one of their heads, they'll definitely have an opinion on what they think is the superior scheme. But, this may change based on personnel.

Hiring Lovie could be seen as equal to never having fired Wade, which, in hindsight, we probably never should have done.

Yeah, every chick probably has her own. She must have an anti-gravity belt on we can't see.

I would take Flacco in a half-heartbeat. I just don't think the Ravens will let him hit the market. Ever.

And we all know Marv was infallible in his actions and words. If Russ cares for marketing in the very least (and we all know he does, more so than fielding a winning team), he better be open to fan feedback.

I get it. If we get this vet that you desperately want, then in the very near future we will be placed in the position to pick this unanimous, consensus #1 QB, correct? For once I agree with you.

It would be great if Jones (and T'eo, for that matter) are gone before we pick. That's 2 more QBs we get to choose from then.

Geez, after reading through all this, it looks like Whisenhunt is dead in the water without an arguable future HOF QB to run his offense. We don't have that and history and probability argues against us having one of these in the near future. I know that Nix and Whaley are probably pining away for his services (it seems like GMs prefer the "safer" pick rather than the best person for the job). That said, I think Russ would block this sort of hire. Russ knows the fans have read this chapter before. I dunno, the way this coaching search is shaping up, I think many of us on here are silently wishing we never fired Chan, but just Wanstanche.

5 of them are still in this league (as of today) though. They still suck, but many of them stuck to the side of the barn compared to other years.

I remember when this line of thinking was jammed down our throats when we hired Jauron.

3 different offenses sound good. Better than a HC/OC trying to jam players into his system.

Great throw. Something I haven't seen as a Bills fan.

With him being pulled 2-3x a drive, we may not need to move up. But he is looking good, minus those dump-off plays they've been running.

If I was Jones, I would be super pissed. Doesn't his coach even have an ounce of respect for him? I've never seen an OU game before. Do they do that a lot?

What is this crap with Bell? Why did they just do that?

Bills must lose ALL games next season to get Johnny Football. To do this: hire Whisenhunt.

I wonder if any of these Vick haters would choose to retain Fitz over Geno Smith or RG3.

I don't know about the love for McCoy. Peyton is McCoy's OC. I really like the Bevell idea. A lot. And why hasn't Jay Gruden been mentioned at all? Did he send out a memo to the NFL that he wasn't interested in any HC jobs? It's becoming clear that whoever is running this team (ie. Ralph) doesn't understand that our next QB will be in charge of developing a rookie QB.

Not a done deal yet.

Looks like Buffalo is going to end up with the leftovers. What's progressive about Smith or Whisenhunt? I would go more for Arians, Jay Gruden, or Bevell? They have proven they can develop a young QB. Sure, Whisenhunt developed Big Ben, but their original intention was to have him ride pine for a year. An injury to Maddox caused Big Ben to come alive. And what has Whisenhunt done with the QB situation in Arizona? A complete joke. In fact, the Bills and Whisenhunt deserve each other.

Just based on what he did with Wilson should be enough to earn him an interview.
