Cordy Glenn not participating to start camp
Saint Doug replied to FluffHead's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I just hope it's not a contract issue being hidden inside an "illness" issue. That seems like a common ploy. Hope he feels better soon anyhow. -
Thad was more impressive than I thought last year
Saint Doug replied to FireChan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
God bless his soul, but I think that's because Kelly used to throw up some real stinkers every now and again (imagine that!). Sure, he was a HOF QB, but he was also sounded by a HOF o-line, HOF WRs, HOF RB, and a consistent top-5 defense. Even EJ would've shined on those teams. -
I'm not too worried about that. For one reason or another, it happens. What concerns me even more is that Gus Bradley didn't think him being on the roster made the Jags D a better unit.

Come on guys, "things happen". -
Kiko and Mario had Offseason Surgery
Saint Doug replied to BRAWNDO's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think this is just a testament on why they deserve to make as much as they do. That and the dementia they'll develop down the road. That said, I'd be curious to know if other teams have had this many injuries. -
Sammy Watkins is officially a Buffalo Bill
Saint Doug replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I have as many reasons to like him as I do his agent. He's a great kid and I look forward to him lighting it up. -
Sammy Watkins is officially a Buffalo Bill
Saint Doug replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Parker's his agent? I expect this contract (assuming he's decent) to be (1) unfulfilled in its entirety and (2) to be the first and last contract he signs with the Bills. Let's fully enjoy the next 2-3 years before he becomes "disrespected", sits out, develops a prolonged "injury" or demands a trade. -
Spotrac Contract Forecast: CJ Spiller
Saint Doug replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think if Brown is a viable option (1000-yards or more), we'll be seeing Spiller walk. We have more important positions we will need to address and we shouldn't break the bank on a player who is not an every-down back. Plus, if we ever make the playoffs, we need money for FAs that would help push us deep into the playoffs. -
Bills need DE - Graham/Jordan could fill the need.
Saint Doug replied to ChanOverChin's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Haven't people been throwing around that we played nearly 70% of our snaps out of a 4-3 formation last year? Seemed to work out pretty well then, so I'm not exactly worried about the DE position. Edit: Duh, didn't see it posted a few posts above me. -
Buffalo Bills Undrafted Free Agents
Saint Doug replied to Nanker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There must be a reason, but I don't understand why the Bills don't just sign him as an UDFA. With his status of just being an "invite", there's really no commitment and he could sign with another team at any time, right? It's either the Bills really don't believe in him or they can't afford the $3,000 signing bonus. -
First, let's make the big assumption he turns into a player like Green or Jones. Where does that get us? What have the JJ trade done for ATL? Same for Green (although Cincy gets points for not mortgaging their future to get him ). Would you even trade pick #8 and next year's 1st for Jones or Green, especially when you have an unknown commodity at QB? The more I think about it, it almost resembles a desperation move to try impress the next owner.

According to the federal government marijuana is a Schedule I substance, thus it can never be "prescribed" by a physician. And since the DEA governments every physician's ability to prescribe controlled substances, it's not likely going to be violated by any doctor in any state. To get around this, in some states, medicinal marijuana can only be "recommended". I can't possibly see the NFL going against the federal government due to its anti-trust status, regardless of what state a team plays in.

Buffalo Bills Undrafted Free Agents
Saint Doug replied to Nanker's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is the best move of the draft weekend. -
There are many different points-of-views on here, but I don't think anyone here is ignorant enough to mistake Vick for a playoff calibre QB

Kiper gives Bills low marks in draft
Saint Doug replied to bisonbrigade's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I guess I withhold my judgement of Kiper's grade or the draft picks in general, because I don't know much about college football. But, just one thought: is drafting Watkins really the difference between a deep-run playoff team and 6-10 perpetuity? Quoted for internet eternity. -
Athletic skill aside (because it means very little right now), Sammy hasn't caught an NFL pass in his life. While I sure hope it doesn't happen and it's probably not likely, he very well could end up being a bust. Stevie is not a bust. While not elite, he's money in the bank. As for EJ, he's negative money in the bank right now considering the 1st round pick we used, plus the 1st next year which we won't be able to use on a QB.
-
Correct, which is probably why they went out and traded for another RB option. It's called improving the position. But the Bills don't want to with the QB position.
-
By that logic, why draft anyone? Our current players are further along than anyone we could draft. Why draft Watkins when Stevie is further along than him? Sometimes it's about potential and constantly trying to improve your team.
-
By this logic, EJ should be the only active QB on the game day roster. They're 100% behind him, right? Shouldn't need a quality backup when you're 100% behind your starter, right? I think it's amazing that a "run option" QB who really didn't run much still managed to tally up 3 injuries in 1 season plus an offseason surgery. But I guess we still wouldn't want a quality backup considering we're 100% behind EJ. You must've missed the countless floaters he threw up. But I guess this is why they targeted Watkins.

Aaron Murray, if he slides to 5th Round
Saint Doug replied to Mort Hendrickson's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I don't see how drafting a QB in the 4th or 5th contradicts this. Plus, the Bills were already fairly talented at WR but they still decided to improve their team by drafting Watkins. A good GM continues to improve his team regardless of position. And it's naive to believe EJ will play a whole season, so we need a good backup QB. Whaley never said Lewis is "their man".
