YoloinOhio Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Yup. IMO, his best bet is to go to a dome or warm weather team. Or play against brooms. You're right. They used to be a great franchise. He has a big arm though (at least pretty big). He definitely has the biggest arm of the 3 top guys. I know this is veering off topic for the thread but one more point on this, I can never tell how a guy is going to play in bad weather until they actually do, and so many QBs come from warm weather schools so we don't see them do it until they get to the NFL.As far as Manziel, he has big hands which will help and his mobility will as well. But no idea whether he will be Brady (good) or Manning (meh) when it comes to throwing in the snow/wind. I thought Rodgers might struggle GB coming from Cali and he sure doesn't.

Brady did play at Michigan. Also, Cal isn't cold but it can get breezy there.
YoloinOhio Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Good points. Brady did play at Michigan. Also, Cal isn't cold but it can get breezy there. True it was Cal and not USC. I agree in Big 10 QBs, we don't hit on them often but they are used to playing in weather (Russell Wilson too).
Jamie Nails Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Everyone's favorite espn blogger, James Walker, is reporting that the Bills have removed themselves from the bidding.
richNjoisy Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Profootballtalk says Jackson has left the Building (washington). No contract signed and MAYBE heading out of town.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted April 1, 2014 Author Posted April 1, 2014 Everyone's favorite espn blogger, James Walker, is reporting that the Bills have removed themselves from the bidding. Bring on Mike Evans!!!! or if my special dreams come true, Sammy Watkins!!! CBF
YoloinOhio Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Saw on Twitter that DeSean is repped by same agent as Maybin. Fair to say he owes us one?

YoloinOhio Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 No, his agent isn't the one who made the Bills draft him. LoL and shucks, I was still looking for someone to blame for that!

#34fan Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Dasean is one incredibly gifted knucklehead. I hope he gets along well with RGIII, but I'm not holding out hope. Wonder what DC nightclub he'll be arrested outside of?
Mark Vader Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 The NFL is happy that they have a division rivalry that the media will overhype.
papazoid Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) It's a three-year deal for DeSean, but for how much? http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2014/04/02/its-a-three-year-deal-for-desean-but-for-how-much/ eric decker got 15 mil guaranteed, so I say desean got 16 mil guaranteed. this is a great signing for Washington. plus he gets to play philly twice a year. heard a stat on the radio today... desean and calvin Johnson lead the league in passing plays over 40 yards. as a point of reference, I could only find a link for plays over 20 yards. desean ranks second. http://espn.go.com/nfl/statistics/player/_/stat/receiving/sort/receivingBigPlays Edited April 2, 2014 by papazoid

Beerball Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 I heard 3 years for $24M with (good call) $16M guaranteed. Same numbers that I heard. I would guess that if the Bills were in fact interested they were unwilling to give a multi-year deal. One year "show me" type offer. I'm happy that they kicked the tires but also happy that they didn't win this one (as it turned out).

I would have liked it if they signed him but, I do not even know if he ever really considered coming here. Nor do I know if the Bills were willing to go as high as the Redskins did. But, he would have been a legitimate #1 receiver and allowed the Bills more flexibility on the upcoming draft. Still, the "baggage" was a bit disconcerting (locker room cancer? Off field risk(s)? ) so, I am not devastated at not getting him. But, the Bills have a lot of cap space left and I do expect them to use it now to lock down players such as Darius and maybe Spiller. My 2 cents.
