"When Russ Brandon was named Buffalo Bills president in January, he announced that the team would be implementing a "robust" analytics department to boost football operations. Four months later, Brandon acknowledged the program does not yet exist." Linky What do you think and do you care? I always liked the concept of moneyball in the NFL but feel it may just be a pipe dream and not really feasible. Perhaps Russ spoke too soon and is starting to think the same thing?

Mayock had him as his #2.

Sorry, never knew what the taxi driver's name was.

The Swami and his taxi driver were pretty accurate in the ol' days if I remember correctly.

Did this mastermind come from Chenango Forks by any chance? Was there a cape involved? How could I have missed this! (wish I missed this topic...)

Too bad, this could have been an interesting thread. Does TBD have a drama section? I didn't bother pages 2-5 but I do have this to say: "Expect the worst but hope for the best" True in football and in life.

I read through the post until I saw a stat I wanted to stand up for and this is the first. I like Fred. He's a tough guy who I would trust with my sister. I just hate the memories of him fumbling at the goal line. I will root for him to retire a Bill and show he and Spiller can carry the team. I just can't get past the feeling of if he fumbles again, especially at the end zone, that I will lose start losing my interest in him. I don't want to but there it is. No matter how he plays in the future it won't diminish my respect for him or his effort to succeed.

Stop it! You are getting me all excited. But what about Hannah Montana? She's like totally my fav. I love you Hannah!!

Mine would have to be Mike Williams. Lazy motherf*cker. I may not be able to play or take a hit like Trent did, but if I "earned" that kind of money I would have busted my ass and finish my short career injured just to avoid the life long guilt that comes with stealing that much cash. Not to mention disappointing soo many fans. For shame Mike, for shame!!! (Sounds like a thread. Who is your least favorite Bill and Why. Any takers?)

Good memory. or your a stalker and I should put up my cape and retire to private life where nobody remembers me. I wonder if Trent needs a roommate...

Sounds a bit like me. More Dork with less Spaz but... I knew I liked him for a reason. I got hit hard once in high school, haven't been the same since.

I've heard of him... Get er done!! Sign him!! Doomed!! Trade Mario!! It's on like a mofo!! Super bowl!! Ralph is cheap!! Did I get most of 'em? I figured I would be the first and just get them all out of the way...

A lot of people complained early in FA when we lost some "great" special team guys and were all up in arms. Sounds like this guy is a replacement for them and maybe, just maybe, a defense contributor. I agree with those saying it doesn't mean he will make the team. We need to cut what, 40 some players at some point? I say bring in everybody that may contribute and see what they have to offer. The more you throw out, the better the rest will be. Also, just because coaches bring in players they know doesn't mean they are playing favorites or they "love" the guy. It just means they know a bit of what they are going to get from them and feel they deserve "a chance". Some fans want to jump on or off the cliff. I just want to enjoy the view and see what happens.

What do you think has kept him alive and going this century? I just hope he's not forced to stick around more then a century himself to see them.

I've been to both. Actually I had just gotten home from a 12 hour day at the hospital but not long enough to get in trouble, I'm on my way though. That is actually how I am sober, scary I know.

I hope he can get a ticket for a decent seat. Course we all know there is no bad seat at the Ralph. ... Ralph going to the Ralph. Not often a person can go to THEIR stadium. Pardon me, I'm going to the Andy... (Glad my name isn't John) (sorry John, no offense)

If that's your view then a spelling test should also be included. (Sorry, couldn't resist. )

Very very good point. I would have more confidence in team decisions if they come from the new blood rather then the old (Nix).

He is a professional football player that has a hot Dallas cheerleader girlfriend. (or at least he did) I think we should spread the wealth with the "best wishes". Just kidding. I hope he does well and Cleveland too for that matter.

Then you are of the opinion that we should not take a QB at all then? I'm sick of the Colin/Russell argument, however did they deserve to be surrounded by pessimism coming out since they were not the Luck/RGIII type either? Your so called experts also say that 1 or 2 of the QB's this year will defy the odds and be successful and I for one will hope the Bills select said QB. I'm just saying let's not give up on players until they have earned the right to be given up on, no matter how jaded we may become.

Wow, Giving up on QB's we don't even have yet. TBD has hit a new level of pessimism.

At least one of the votes was so he wasn't the fat chick in gym class as stated earlier in the thread.

Billy Cole anybody??? No, I did not read thru' the entire post to see if anybody else made the joke...

Kolb will start with TJ as his back up and Nassib with the clip board learning fast at least until mid season.

I wonder if this will change the upcoming NFL schedule. We usually play each other early in the season and/or right after their bye week. They will want the Belicheat team to be full strength to beat up Bills and teach Stevie J a lesson.
