BoDontKnowSnow Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 what is source that those guys are there??????? Russ did say "... who's in the back of the room" when we mentioned Thurman earlier... not sure about Tasker/Brown though
thebandit27 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 what is source that those guys are there??????? Brandon mentioned it at the very beginning of the PC
apuszczalowski Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Then wonder by Jim's not there if those guys all are. I know its New Year's and he might be out of town or what not Looking at Kellys past, he is probably still passed out on the floor or just waking up to one of the worst hangovers imaginable....
KRT88 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 So why does nobody scream about how we could have had Ponder also, yet they include him in the list of rookies making the playoffs? Ponder was being called the worst starting QB in the league a few weeks ago, he is the starter on a team being carried by AP. What has kaepernick really proved out there? He won games with the same team that Alex Smith won games with, yet people keep talking about how Smith is such a horrible QB. Kaepernick sure did look elite when they played a good team in Seattle 2 weeks ago......... My point isn't that we didn't draft THESE guys, is that we failed to draft anyone to have a future QB on the roster. Why not talk Ryan Mallet in the 3rd round two years ago? Or someone else, draft a QB or move yourself around in the draft to get yourself in a position to draft one.
bills44 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I heard Thurman yell "It's on like a MOFO" just before Brandon took the podium
boyst Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I heard Thurman yell "It's on like a MOFO" just before Brandon took the podium ha
uncle flap Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 (edited) what is source that those guys are there??????? They were named* by Russ. Ruben Brown was quoted on twitter saying, "I wasn't really planning on going, but I was in the building anyway." EDIT: *Acknowledged by Russ as being present Edited January 1, 2013 by uncle flap

EDIT: *Acknowledged by Russ as being present Interesting on Ruben being in the building. You know, the Packers are owned by the town. Imagine the Bills owned by players?....
LiterateStylish Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Brandon and Nix both said that there is no definite transition to Whaley coming yet. At some point, because he is 70 years old, Whaley will take up. But there is no timetable. Nix is still our GM.
tito1 Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I heard Thurman yell "It's on like a MOFO" just before Brandon took the podium I laughed out loud on this one
BRAWNDO Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Once the new coach is hired we will see how much change there is

Why not talk Ryan Mallet in the 3rd round two years ago? Or someone else, draft a QB or move yourself around in the draft to get yourself in a position to draft one. Because tehy didn't feel that drafting a guy then was the right time, their plan was to build everything else and then bring in a young QB
NoSaint Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Interesting on Ruben being in the building. You know, the Packers are owned by the town. Imagine the Bills owned by players?.... Ruben lives in town, no? Not that odd he would be on the list of guys invited. In the last decade, how many others had his success. For what it's worth, he endorses lovie (was noted yesterday).... And what it's worth is clearly nothing, just a tidbit to share.
flmike Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 I can't blame Nix too much. I agreed that we needed to improve the defense since Fitz had shown that he could win. His meltdown astonished a lot of people and may have happened for the same reason that Edwards did - a monster hit and concussion that really did affect his subsequent play.

I believe Tasker does as well (his son went to St. Francis).
San Jose Bills Fan Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 Brandon (paraphrased): "With regards to Buddy Nix, there is no loss of power, I know that might be the perception but Buddy will lose no power."
dubs Posted January 1, 2013 Posted January 1, 2013 So, that was an interesting press conference. I have to say, Brandon is very impressive and I want to believe in his vision and passion. The only thing I am a little concerned about is how much does this actually change things? If a 94 year old Ralph giving up "control" (you have to believe he was very involved prior to this point) really makes a big difference, then I could see this moving forward in a good direction. I am not sure if people caught this, but I loved the small soundbite of Russ alluding to a new stadium on the horizon.
