EJ Manuel: “I’m hoping it’s the #Jets, the #Eagles, and the Buffalo #Bills,”

per chris brown's twitter: @stanj62 Dansby visit is still ongoing at this hour (6 pm)

EJ Manuel would be a super solid choice imo. If Marone meant what he said, that he would adjust the system to fit the player, it shouldn't matter that if he is a west coast player or not. This guy has the best upside. The biggest knock on him is that he isn't "consistent," yet he was pretty consistent last year. He has all the physical talent and seems to have the right character traits. I don't understand why all these pundits have Geno ahead of him. They are the first to point out geno had only like 6 interceptions last year, but what about all those fumbles? Those fumbles to me are a huge red flag that this is a problem that might carry over into the nfl with him. It was something that was a problem for him for most of his college career. If he is going to fumble that much, might as well have Fitz throwing interceptions. If it were up to me, I say take EJ somwhere and take bray or wilson in the 5th or something like the skins did last year. Can't hurt grabbing to decent QB prospects in one year. It would give us a better chance at improving the position.

EJ Manuel! that would be my first choice, but based on the what the talking heads say, Bills have settled on either nassib or barkley, of course.

They got him waiting in the lobby while they are watching Mel kiper's take on the QBS. I kid, I kid. But really, not having news of him leaving is pretty good so far. He might be getting checked out by doctors or talking contract. if interest wasn't there, he probably would have left.

They signed Kolb as an insurance policy, just like they traded tavaris for insurance policy. They didn't sign kolb to be a long term answer, at least I hope they didn't. and it has become obvious they want to trade down, and are going to make a play to trade down, but that is easier said than done. The draft has to play out the right way, the right players need to fall to us, and the right teams have to want those players bad enough to be willing to give up the right stuff that would be worth it. It isn't like they can decide now they they are going to trade down no matter what. For all they know, when their pick comes up, there isn't a single team even considering trading up at that point or they already traded with someone ahead of us. saying "just trade down" makes it sound like a piece of cake, and it isn't

I think that the only reason it isn't "panic" mode because it is just the same song and dance we have been going through for years reguarding the QB situation. We have a couple serviceable backups, and that makes it ok to not take a leap of faith or take a risk. I am not saying that this is the year to take that risk, but there are some decent prospects, and taking one of them at 8 wouldn't be the worst decision they have made with a first round pick in recent years.

If 31 is bad, broncos/pats* need to dump manning/Brady ASAP! Those guys are ancient!

haw, such a jokester you are. I almost thought you were serious. I don't think it will be that high. There doesn't seem to be enough teams going after him to drive the price up. At his age, I would predict a two year contract worth up to 12 mill with 7-8 guaranteed. Though my guesses aren't very good.

Now that is interesting.... I am not ready to put on the tin foil hat just yet, but make it three years in a row, and I might just construct one.

playing NE with the first game gives us the best shot I think to beat them too. Pats* wont have any tape (other than preseason games) on our new defense and offense, their tight ends probably won't be healthy, and might not even play, plus it is a home game. I think that is the best shot we could have. Not saying we are going to beat them, but best shot we could have.

I agree. There probably won't be more than 2 qbs taken in the first round, but there is a really good chance that 3 or more qbs will get picked at the top of the 2nd round before we pick... if we are using our 2nd rounder to draft a qb, best thing to do is to trade up into the first round.

This is getting a little OT now, but if you are saying our military is down to a few hundred thousand people, that is one hell of a lie you are telling. I do believe China has a bigger military, but a few hundred thousand+ one million would be a closer to our active military size. With the reserves it might be double that.

I don't know, looking forward looks pretty scary. Too much unknown, and with our luck, unknown isn't good.

hey! you stole this from stevie's twitter

I don't see china immediately backing n korea. If anything, this nuclear stuff has china moving away from them and closer to the US. Hypothetically as well, lets say we did "bomb" n korea, china would think more than once before attacking a country that buys all the crap they make. China is doing well, and it a huge part to us buying their crap. If we are at war with them, their exports to us stop and that will ruin their economy. The US and China are economically tied together, even though we are far from allies. And if north korea sets off a nuclear weapon, no one, and I mean no one will be their ally.

They could use it, but I doubt they will. I don't think the pats* care what the bills say or do. I think it is obvous if the jests said this, it would be headline news, but since it is the bills, I don't think the pats* care. They don't hate us or fear us. Motivation isn't going to play a role. If we lose to the pats8 twice this season, it is because they are better than us and we suck. not because stevie made a tweet about north korea 8 months prior.

That wasn't anything off the field though. Not once has he done anything off the field that effected the team. not once. And if you think they lost that game because of stevie being benched, then that is crazy. they lost the game by like 25-30 points. I love stevie and all, but don't seem him scoring and playing enough to offset that. And hypothetically, IF stevie is a good enough as you say to turn a game where the bills lost by like 30 points into a win against a team that went to the super bowl that year, then he must be the biggest game changer than TO and Sanders. Stevie being benched did not lose us that game by a long shot. However, earlier that season he probably did cost us a win against the Jests with his on the field celebrating. that is still hypothetical, but there is a good chance he actually cost us that game. But that pats* game where he got benched? hell no

So what are you saying exactly? It is ok to have off the field issues that hurt the team if you are a big name and a big playmaker, but it is wrong to be a decent playmaker and say things on twitter that sounds stupid, and no one else but a handful of bills fans seem to care about? I mean, I get you think that this tweet could mean stevie is getting kicked out of buffalo, but it has been several days now and I don't see any sign of this happening, and never thought it would. I don't see him losing the locker room over his tweet, I don't see the patriots using this as "extra" fuel like they would if rex ryan said it, I don't see any younger players looking at him and thinking they should do the same and shouting about north korea on twitter, I don't see any coaches or front office people showing any concern.... so tell me, where is this actually affecting the team? Because I can't imagine it is doing anything at all as far as the football side goes.

And all these people that said this was a big deal because it would send SJ packing, if it was something that would send him packing, there would already be trade rumors out there. the guy isn't going anywhere. Not only that, but the usatoday and I think cbs were the only national media to even mention it. this is such a non story it isn't even funny. When stevie goes out and actually does something off the field that is a big deal, then maybe we can worry about it. All these things people list here that stevie does off the field, the ONLY people that give it a second look is bills fans. You don't see anyone else talking about it, though I am sure there might be a 2 page thread on a pats* forum somewhere about this. Let's wait until stevie starts beating his wife before we compare him to chad Johnson, let's wait until he starts bashing his QN and demanding all balls be thrown to him before we compare him to TO, lets not give crap to a guy that has done nothing but say something stupid that no one but a handful of people on this board actually care about. Really, if every NFL player that said something stupid on twitter was to be released or traded, the turnover rate for all rosters would be insane. Hell, in Jim Kelly's years, he was out womanizing women off the field. Would you throw him off the team then because he was going about town and being immature off the field? What stevie does off the field is so small. The only reason it is made a big deal out of is because with so many losing seasons, no QB, and no hope, we really have not much else to talk about.

it depends on what type of respect you are asking about. Do you mean the respect of his on feel play or off the field stuff? His on the field stuff isn't close, but off the field the guy is a saint compared to the other two. TO and Sanders were more than "look at me" types, they were polarizing people.

This class cant be any worse than the class that brought us Quin, Jamarcus Russell, Trent Edwards, and Kevin Kolb.

I don't know, sounds a little over the top to be this harsh on players because they show "evidence" that they have "potential" to do an antic on the field that will cost the team, even though said player did nothing like that on the field last year. I think going a whole season without any of these antics affecting the team, re-sigining with the team when he could have gone elsewhere for more money (most likely), publically supporting the team and the city, being one of the few players that actually perform on the field, has shown to get gradually better each year, hasn't missed a game, and played through a groin injury and still played hard.... for a guy that appears to be part of the solution and not part of the problem, people here are pretty quick to run him out of town because he could "potentially" do something on the field that would result in a penalty. People are free of course to bash him and run him out of town if they wish, whether it is because the tweet was offensive or if people truly believe that cutting stevie is worth it just because there is a chance he could do something stupid to draw a 10 yard penalty, and that 10 yard penalty would cost us a game, people are more than welcome to believe it. I am sorry, I just don't see how this tweet is "evidence" that he is going to do something stupid on the field. I plan on doing something stupid this weekend. Doesn't mean I am going to do something stupid on monday when I clock in at the office.

This draft is deep with olinemen. They should be able to find a decent starter in the mid rounds. They need to get an impact player with the first pick. If not a QB, someone that will make us more explosive. A guard isn't going to do that.

Lol. Is it still April 1st?
