  1. Well, considering he was bringing up QBs who played over 20 years ago, the answer would be "many". Those were the days when a team could win with a top-3 defense and a statue game manager under center.
  2. I agree. I would also ask what happened between last year and this year. He seemed to thrive under Pettine, so I wonder if the absence of Pettine is the problem. Sure, he has a history of poor effort, but it'll be telling if Pettine grabs him if we cut him.
  3. I guess it depends on his percent body fat, but I'm still sure he had to drink quite a lot.
  4. It's interesting how each preseason the Bills have sucked, we are told each and every time "it's just preseason, wait until the regular season". Every year. And how do the cards eventually fall? 6 win seasons. I think people are still under the impression (we saw during the SB years) that the preseason is meaningless.
  5. Wade Wilson, Trent Dilfer? Really? Boy, our future looks bright. As for Kurt Warner, he really has no equal in history. And if you're talking about him going to Arizona, as opposed to him going the Rams, what QB who has won multiple SBs will be available this offseason?
  6. Bringing a vet in to play QB has rarely ever worked out well for a team. It just never ends well. The only 2 circumstances where this worked out well was with Manning and Brees, but in these cases serious injuries were involved.
  7. While I'm not convinced Nassib will ever be more than a backup, I'm pretty sure EJ will be out of the league before Nassib.
  8. I wouldn't have drafted o-line, but a QB. An elite WR as elite lineman is worthless if you don't have a decent QB. That trade will determine Whaley's fate.
  9. It's part of the game. In fact, it's part of any sport at any level. A professional would know how to deal with it.
  10. If the Bills pull another 6 win season (which is history has taught us is highly probable), Whaley should be the 1st person given a box to pack his personal effects. He drafted EJ (or at least, consented to it). A GM is married to the QB he drafts. And don't forget trading away next year's 1st for Watkins (when we have no one to throw the ball to Watkins). As for Marrone, he'll be collateral damage due to the QB he was given and the man who hired him.
  11. I don't think I've ever seen this much discord in a Bills team in quite some time. Marrone better gain control over his team.
  12. Maybe they're tired fighting each other and now want to fight the fans? Seriously, Goodwin is a nobody and will likely be selling insurance in the next year or 2.
  13. You mean after playing 2 preseason games his rookie year? I'm undecided on JF, but it's rare when any rookie QB looks good in preseason. And if he does, it's likely meaningless. One should actually become concerned with poor play after their rookie year. The jury hasn't even been selected for JF.
  14. I know, really? The blackout rules help low income communities? If they're so concerned about low-income people watching football, then they should be speaking to the NFL - which is a US government sanctioned monopoly - about lowering ticket prices. Then we wouldn't have to worry about blackouts. Seriously, these are the people running our country?
  15. This is a nonissue. They can give him a nerve block before a game and he'll be golden.
  16. It should cost Whaley his job. In fact, if they don't win more than 7 games this year, he should be toast as he had the opportunity to upgrade our QB position this draft (as well as next year's draft) and he failed to do so. But if Whaley goes down, by default Marrone will go down too.
  17. So are you defending Brady or criticizing him? All I know, love him or hate him, Brady will get the benefit of the doubt 99 times out of a hundred. Brady with Watkins and Wood would destroy this division.
  18. Why are we referring to him as a rookie? And if it's because he was injured more last season than not, isn't that then cause for alarm? Maybe, just maybe, because Brady is one if the best QBs to ever play the game and EJ has done absolutely nothing in this league (but get injured)? I may be way off though.
  19. "It's just preseason, calm down"
  20. Is it time to throw out the "it's just preseason" excuse? I'm thinking Whaley's decision to trade away next year's first is what's going to sink his ship.
  21. I think what you meant to say is "The Trust is cheap".
  22. I'm inclined to believe this report. TG sounds awful confident here. And JK is seeming fairly desperate in latching onto a bid here. I wonder if Jimbo has signed a NDA because doesn't it forbid people from discussing the bid with other bidders? I know JBJ must've signed it. And is it normal for these sales to develop into a circus-like atmosphere?
