Rubes

The collar in the picture has a much smaller/thinner white band around the collar. Contrast it with this (more hideous) one: Now I'm not sure, maybe you guys are right...perhaps the smaller collar is only for the cheaper jerseys, not the authentic game jerseys. I sure hope they change it.

Not sure if posted already, but it appears that, lost in all of the draft glory, that ridiculous collar on the jersey appears to be a thing of the past.

Well said!

This could be awesome.

I agree, I'm pleasantly surprised how often I've been hearing praise for this guy. I'm excited to see what the new staff brings to the table on both sides of the ball. Dammit, they've sucked me in again.

Time will tell, but for me it makes for a good potential rivalry. Certainly these guys are not in the Kelly/Marino class of QBs, but it was always fun to have a division rivalry headed by the QBs, and I hope this gives a little more oomph to the Bills-Jets games. At least until Geno implodes and the Jets crash and burn.

Wouldn't Stevie and Woods be on the inside, and the speed guys on the outside?

On offense: EJ CJ TJ FJ SJ On defense: Kyle Mario Aaron Duke Did I leave anybody out???

That was really good.

Either way, one thing is for sure: this team should at least be interesting and fun to watch.

Lots of "experts" are panning the pick (see: NFLN), but I think most of us are psyched about it, particularly with the well-timed trade and extra picks. If Minnesota hadn't freaking sold the farm to the Pats* (for Cordarelle?) this would have been a ideal first round.

I think it's quite amazing that, really, nobody has any idea whatsoever what the Bills will do at #8.

I would not be particularly happy with this pick.

I wouldn't jump off a cliff over it. I'd just hope he's more Rob Gronkowski than Tony Hunter...

F5?

Because he can probably take a back seat for half the season to Kolb, if needed.

Forget it, he's on a roll!

Nice ESPN article on Barkley. I could be sold on this guy. A separated throwing shoulder worries me a bit, because once a shoulder's separated, the more likely it can get separated again. But he has all the tools, and he appears to have really great accuracy and touch on the ball. Everybody's saying he's a second round QB, but as Buddy has been saying, sometimes you have to take a guy a round earlier than he's projected.

There's more than one Ryan Leaf??

If we sign him, I'm sure there will be plenty of people here upset that we overpaid for him since, you know, we're only bidding against ourselves at this point.

Looks good to me. He has some serious touch and accuracy.

Oh no you didn't.

I would be quite happy with that, John. I'm just not sure Woods will be there at #41. I have to think, though, that if Milliner is still there at #8, it might be him...or, better yet, a trade down. I think the Jets would grab him if he's there, so maybe that would entice someone.

By the way, do you ever go back after three years or so and evaluate how you did, in terms of ranking and estimating success?

As long as we're back at it, I offer you this steaming pile of **** that just won't seem to ever go away: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f8q8kB87APc God, just hearing this makes me violently ill.
