I wasn't going to say it, but.... Despite the misinformation rampant in this thread, perhaps a good scientific discussion can happen in here. I think some meaningful CTE research could be done to diagnosis it before the onset of death. I think we are on the cusp of a revolution in clinical imaging. It would be a very expensive study, but I would like to see a study which correlates PET scan findings to head trauma. My guess would be that brains experiencing CTE would have specific areas of increased glucose fueled metabolism. Using players (kickers) who hadn't been hit would be a great control group. However, I suspect you'll find some players with minimal baseline brain activity.

By the looks of it, there's some very successful trolling going on in this thread.

Actually, even if he wins us the Super Bowl next year, he really won't get paid much that more than if we were going to pay him right now. The going rate for a decent QB is $18 million per season. For comparison, Rodgers, Wilson, and Flacco make $22 million per season. If we are going to pay him Franchise QB money, +/- a few million per season isn't going to matter at that point.

Can he cover Marshall?

So it looks like nothing is going to happen until after June 1st, barring a great trade opportunity.

I'm fine with this. There has always seemed to be arms (legs?) race in the NFL to get/find a kicker who can boot it out of the end zone consistently, which, as a viewer, is boring. With that action leading to a free quarter of the field now, teams will think twice about doing so. This will lead to more kicks falling around the 5-10 yard line and hence more returns. Good for the viewership.

Wait a second. In his one season with the raiders (being fired after Al Davis's death not necessarily his fault), he went 8-8 with a top-10 ranked offense. If he was a Bills coach that year, 99% of the posters on here would've called it a successful season.

I'm sure Rob Ryan is gestating a plan to contain them.

You mean PV=nRT? That's from 1834. How is that a "new fact"?

In all of professional sports, I think the general consensus of a sleeper pick is an under the radar pick that surprises everyone and becomes a great player. It's really not that complicated. And sleeper picks can be selected during any round of a draft. For example, even if Darby was selected in the 1st, he would have still been considered a sleeper pick.

Damn, another FA using us for leverage.... Kim is cheap.

You serious?

He's also said at one time "It's on like a mutha!@#$er". Turned it not to be the truth.

I don't understand. Why would we want to trade a Pro Bowl QB for one at risk of even getting cut?

Depth? Who needs depth? We barely had an injuries last season...

Which doesn't mean Brock can't evolve himself and lift his game. Still, he's a huge ? and doesn't deserve that much money.

Why would we want to trade Tyrod for, in all likelihood, 2 virtual 2nd rounders? Fitz to Denver makes as much sense as buying a T shirt in July.

No FA signings to report? Doomed.

Ha. Who in the NFL (or on Earth for that matter) doesn't "feel underpaid"? Osweiler finds himself in a position of power. The reigning SB champs are now without a QB. He basically has a monopoly of the QB position in Denver. The Bills otoh have options, because their one year wonder is under contract for another year.

I still can't believe this hasn't been discussed in the Bills "frustrated" thread.

Definitely was sweet and all, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say he didn't write a word of it. Who goes on to twitter and praises the organization they were just fired from this morning? This is just his agent making sure no bridges are burnt and he's still employable elsewhere.

I've heard of him. Let's kick the tires and see if he has anything left in the tank, despite being on the wrong side of 30, obviously.

Maybe they should continue working on the definition of a catch first.

I can only see it for particularly violent penalties: roughing the passer, unnecessary roughness or personal fouls. Can be for holding or interference because whole lines would be sitting in the box. But I love the idea.
