Here is what I would like to see happen o resolve the Bill's QB situation: 1. If the Bills's can pry Alex Smith away from KC (I expect them to go with Mahomes), they should. He is 33 years old and has likely up to 5 years of playing time left. He has 1 more year on his current contract so KC may just cut him, but we could get him in a trade for no more than a 2nd round pick, maybe a 3rd rounder. The reason I like him is that he is a good game manager and does take care of the ball. He can also read the field, which Tyrod can't do. The risk is that if we can't resign him, it's only a 1 year rental. 2. Have Peterman study under Smith. I think Peterman can play, but he needs time to learn and someone to learn it from.

I agree -- The Bills need a D-Tackle and pass rushing D-End. I am not sure the Bills really missed Dareus as a player as he took too many plays off, but we missed someone who could do what he can do -- clog up the middle.

Cardale Jones Hype greater than Peterman hype?
VirginiaMike replied to Bing Bong's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Jones should never have been drafted - a wasted pick. Peterman sets up nicely and has a pro release, but he needs a ton of help reading the field. I'm not ready to give up on him. I'm not sold that either will ever be a starting QB in this league. -
After QB, what's next? Top 5 player needs.
VirginiaMike replied to GreggTX's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
DT -- Can't count on Williams next year and no one else is of starting caliber OG/OT - we need one of each. As someone else said, we could go Tackle and move Glenn, if he is ever healthy, to guard. We still need a Mills replacement QB - Taylor is not the answer, I really wanted him to be, but he's not. I would like to acquire Alex Smith, if he becomes available. He'd fit this offense. LB - We're getting old there. Alexander was re-born in the playoff game, but he was sub-standard most of the year. WR - Need some speed, but more than that someone who can get open. -
We should Sign Fred Jackson
VirginiaMike replied to clearwater cadet's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We could sign OJ and cut loose the Juice. -
Bowl season is about over,who do ya like for the Bills.
VirginiaMike replied to mob16151's topic in College Football
It's not very exciting, but I like to see the Bills get some good O-Line & D-Line help. Maybe we can get a good o-lineman in FA, but we need to stop getting retreads and get someone solid to play Guard or Tackle. We need a pass rusher and a run stuffer on defense. -
No thanks. I'm not sold on only physical ability in a QB any more. I really like to look at leadership and what a QB does when it's on the line. Josh Allen has seemed to fold when it's on the line. Mayfield from OK is a guy whoo seems to rise when it's on the line, similar to Watson last year.

Here is some info from Walter football: Drew Lock, QB, Missouri Height: 6-4. Weight: 225. Projected 40 Time: 4.79. Projected Round (2018): 2-4. 12/7/17: Lock set the SEC single-season record for touchdown passes with 43. He went on a tear in the last half of 2017 to lead Missouri to six straight wins after a 1-5 start. Lock has completed 58 percent of his passes this year for 3,695 yards with 43 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Lock is a gunslinger-style quarterback who needs to improve his accuracy for the NFL. He has a big arm with the ability to throw any pass, but he needs to improve his accuracy, field vision, and the speed at which he works through progressions. He can be prone to overthrows, plus can put too much heat on some passes. Lock has good size and can fit the pass into tight windows. He throws the ball well downfield and shows some timing and anticipation. Lock does have the propensity to force throws to covered wideouts as he can trust his arm too much to beat tight coverage. Lock could stand to make improvements before going to the NFL, and improving as a senior might be his best route toward having a good pro career and going higher in his draft.

What do you fix first? OL or QB?
VirginiaMike replied to Canadian Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm an advocate of getting the O-Line right, because an average QB can look good with the right O-Line, but it's really hard for a good QB to look great when running for his life. That said, for the Bills, if the right QB is available (by the Bills evaluation) then they should never pass him up. -
Charles Clay Highest Rated TE in league
VirginiaMike replied to CanadianFan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nice to read and I do think he is a good player (top 10 likely) , but he is not in the same stratosphere as some of the top Tight ends -- Gronk, Kelse, Reed, ... Of copurse, there is a difference of having a Brady throw to you vs a Taylor. -
Favorite Bills Logo
VirginiaMike replied to The Real Buffalo Joe's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I thought for sure my answer would be the standing buffalo, harking back to the glory years of the 60's, but as I look at them both, I like the charging Buffalo. Now let's get charging Bills! -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - Welcome to the NFL
VirginiaMike replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Nice write up. I would like to be optimistic, but have concerns that the offense my never get on track. The game against the Jets is not a good indication. Carolina has a good defense, but not all world. This game with Denver could be ugly for the Bills offense. They looked very tough this past week. I want to be optimistic, but need to see some progress with the offense. Go Bills! -
Glad for the win. The Jets are as bad as reported. The Bills did what they had to do and have the win. We need to find a little more pass rush to help the DB's. We did not need it agains the Jets, but will against better teams. Bottom Line -- the Bills are 1-0!

How'd we do vs the draft value chart?
VirginiaMike replied to Buffalo86's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Good analysis -- I didn't have the chart numbers, but it seemed to me at the time of the trade the Bills came up a little short. Looks like, according to the numbers, that it true. The caveat with that is that we may have wanted to move out of the pick more than the Chiefs wanted to move into it. If that is true, then we may have had to sweeten the pot a little. -
ESPN removes Sage Steele from NBA Countdown
VirginiaMike replied to dpberr's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I think Sage was good at her job and knows sports. That said, when you work for someone and represent them, you have to toe the company line, or at least not slap it in the face. I've never been a big Michelle Beadle fan as I think he tries to cover up her lack of knowledge by making strange, unrelated comments. -
McDermott says WR2 is already on the roster
VirginiaMike replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
TRUTH STATED HERE. IF WE ALREADY HAVE OUR NUMBER TWO, THEN SAMMY MIGHT AS WELL GET USED TO BEING DOUBLE TEAMED EVERY PLAY AND TAYLOR WILL BE RUNNING FOR HIS LIFE. -
Mayock updates his top 5 by position for draft - 3/21/
VirginiaMike replied to yungmack's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I'm surprised to see Peppers #1 at Safety. Most others seem to have him 3rd and dropping to the lower 1/3rd of the 1st round. I think he will be a "in the right system" guy - not sure I want him covering anyone, but roaming and making plays like Troy P (not gonna try to spell his name) from the Steelers.
