It's called a metaphor. Didn't you learn about them in elementary school?

Yeah, we should probably be done with this thread. I mean, what do you expect from a team after 20 years of gross mismanagement? There comes a point you just have to accept the sky is blue and the sun rises daily. As for Da'Rick, be mad all you want, but he's the real winner and for that we should be happy. He's catching balls in the playoffs from Andrew Luck. Remind me, who are the real losers here?

The Billa cutting him is just an instance of the coaches being too lazy or plain unable to straighten this kid out. A rookie. That's too bad.

Are you talking about Randy Moss the preseason of his rookie year or Randy Moss in his prime? Do you understand why I'm asking this? If you do, then your mind shouldn't be boggled anymore. If not, then I'm afraid your mind will be continued to be boggled.

He very well could, and that would be fine because his upside is much greater than EJ's. Remember, EJ played no different for us than he did in college. No growth, low ceiling.

I would be ecstatic if we grabbed a 3rd for him.

Don't under estimate the President and CEO of our football team, whose #1 priority is to fill the Ralph each week.

Yes, and all these great qualities should be brought up when we negotiate a great trade. Because, by the way it appears, he doesn't want to stay and won't sign our offer. Remember, both parties have to agree to the contract. If he chooses to stay, then great. If not, tag him and get the best return for him.

Talent threshold passed? Didn't you see our record this year? I don't think our success will result from some minor tinkering.

Who's going to throw the ball to this WR/TE? Thad?

Just like any other position, they're looking to improve their football team. You can't exactly argue against this sentiment. In contrast, it appears the Bills want to gamble on a mediocre player developing, just like they did with Trent, Johnson, and JP. To each it's own.

This guy is the real deal and he knows exactly what it takes to win. Sure, he's definitely immature and young (21 years-old), and college/NFL players have been accused of doing much worse. Who would you rather have; a "grown up" QB who sucks (EJ) or an immature 21 year-old who plays lights-out every time he touches the ball? Everyone grows up at some point, but not everyone improves their QBing skills. I would trade our 1st pick, EJ, Byrd, Johnson, and Dareus just to be able to draft this guy. He'll instantly make every game winnable and exciting. I would get Ralph's opinion. He'll get this done.

Correct, but that was more or less written out of spite. In reality, I would tag him and try to pick up a 2nd rounder for him. I certainly wouldn't make him the top paid safety. That's not prudent.

I really don't think the Bills record would be any worse with Nassib at the helm this year. In fact, with his handle on Marrone's offense, we may have won a game or two more. As for season's beyond, I have no idea.

Yes, you can. A team simply cannot sign every player it drafts. First, there's a salary cap. And second, if you signed every player you previously drafted, it would negate the purpose of the draft itself. Well run teams, Pitt, NE, Green Bay, have a carousel of players. They don't overpay just because they drafted a player. That's not smart. Now, they also don't overpay for other teams' picks, but draft smartly. If you draft right, you don't need to overpay for your players. As for Byrd, tag him again. Aaron Williams can pick him up at the airport. Welcome back, Byrdman.

After the draft concluded, many of thought our WR corps were the best unit on the Bills. Unexpectedly, this year revealed that they were a weak link. Bye bye Ike. I also do believe he's a scapegoat.

Apparently Marrone missed the screening. He should know this team's history more thoroughly.

Exactly. It's an excuse we should all put to rest. As for STs, if a team has many weapons on STs, then they must really suck on offense and/or defense or they are exercising poor judgement in playing their stars on ST. They don't need weapons, they need good coaching/discipline.

I've always wondered why it's so hard for players just to stay in their lanes. Is it really that difficult?

By the posts here, Crossman doesn't look like he's going anywhere. Looks like he needs more "weapons". Lol. It never ends.

I would see if you could flip him for a 3rd. He never really struck me as a professional, but a little boy being forced to play football. A Super Bowl team wouldn't tolerate a player like this. And, remember, he plays for Pettine first and I haven't really heard anything but good things about him. Again, flip him for a 3rd and consider yourself lucky.

It's certainly nice to see Miami knocked out of the playoffs. After their spending spree, the talking heads had them already signed up for the playoffs. It's good to see Tannehill crash and burn. It's also nice to see Manning demolishing the TD record. Take that, Gomer.

In effect, he downed it and ended the play before falling out of bounds. Solid call.

He hasn't really excelled in this defense, something many others have. Since he serves no obvious role on defense, he's probably gone at the end of the season.

Today: Da'Rick 4/42/10.5/17 Hogan 2/8/4/4 + better attitude while catching those 2 balls
