QB Bills

I'm sure we could get a few of them at this point. Might need to upgrade the medical staff though.

Hahaha...perfectly stated. It's not just that he was a reach at 8th overall. He's just not a good football player. The sooner he's gone, the better.

By quick count, I came up with 44 games that are not being played at 1pm or 4pm on a Sunday (or sat. dec 24) this season. If my math is correct, that means the NFL doesn't consider the Bills worthy of one of those 88 spots. I know I'll hear the whole "we haven't done anything to deserve it" crowd, but this is just a slap in the face. It's the second year in a row while the league keeps adding primetime games. The f'n Jaguars get two home Monday night games and a Thursday night game?? Are you kidding me? I can fit as many people into my VW as they normally have in their stadium on gameday.

You don't? It's actually quite simple. People here who hate Brady are simply Bills fans, not football fans. The Bills could be playing water polo for all they care. The guy's done nothing but work his a$$ off and be successful. As a football AND Bills fan, at least I can be honest with myself and say I wish he was our QB and not the guy toying with our D twice a year. And to the mouth breathers out there, no this doesn't make me a Pats "troll" or whatever the buzzword is this week. You can go back to watching Larry the Cable Guy. I'm pretty happy with my life, but if I could switch places with anyone in the world, it would be a toss-up between Brady, Cristiano Ronaldo or that pasty guy married to Jennifer Connelly...lucky bastard.

Why would Aaron Maybin get a #20 tattoo on his thigh?

Not a fan of this move. Stroud is still a serviceable player. Why not cut Kelsay?? Seriously, how bad does this guy have to be before they open their eyes? Contrarily, it seems like the worse he plays, the more money he makes.

He has a good arm and that's about it. Not a very good QB from what I've seen of him. They've been very fortunate this year and will have their asses handed to them this Sunday. Further to this topic, in light of that Rodgers/cancer patient video, who is the least douchiest QB left out of the final 4? It can't be Dirty Sanchez, can it?

It's true. Anytime I start feeling even the slightest bit warm and fuzzy about the Bills, I think about that signing and I'm brought right back down to earth.

I can only speak for myself, and I know if another team had signed him for this exact contract, I would be cursing the front office. Just imagine it was the Pats that did this. We'd be homicidal right now. Count me as one of those giddy about seeing what Merriman can do next year. Perhaps it won't amount to much, but like many others have stated, it's worth the risk.

lol yup...it's a shame he didn't put up big numbers dude, you should do a quick wikipedia check before you post silly statements like that

Maybe it's just being used to seeing so much crap on the field that fans can't tell anymore when they have a star, but I don't get how anyone who watches football can say Kyle Williams isn't a shoo-in for the pro bowl. It's actually quite remarkable how well he's played. All the big running plays the opposition gets seem to occur when he's taking a breather on the sideline. I noticed that on three separate occasions on Sunday. He is consistently double-teamed and still makes plays. He was actually triple-teamed on multiple plays against Miami the week before. Can't remember the last time I saw that. The guy really has no help whatsoever.

F-E-E-T FEET! FEET! FEET! FEET!

I get that hunch about Wes Welker. Whenever I see him, I'm reminded of that episode of fresh prince of bel air where Carlton mistakenly takes speed (or whatever it's called now) and dances like a maniac. As for the best defensive player, I'd have to go with Dont....err...I mean Haloti Ngata.

at least someone in this thread has some knowledge of the game if evans isn't the biggest waste of talent in the league, then he's really close i would argue the point that the bills don't have a qb...i like fitz, the only problem is that the o-line is absolutely dreadful, and those of you thinking that they are much improved need to look at how fast fitz has to get rid of the ball, not how many times he has been sacked...he has been making them look good by those quick 3 step drops, and those short routes are more suited for a taller receiver in single coverage, neither of which lee falls into also, i don't understand how someone can praise steve johnson and criticize lee evans for not wanting to get hit in the same sentence...johnson has gone out of bounds numerous times this year instead of fighting for extra yardage...am i the only one who has noticed this? to be fair though, i have a hard time questioning anyone's toughness if they play in the nfl...i don't think you can survive there without being tough and ballsy (unless you're a kicker maybe)

That's just a copout. How major league is Pittsburgh and Indianapolis? By your rationale, Dallas couldn't possibly have gone over a decade without winning a playoff game. The easy answer as to why NE is consistently at the top is simple: Bill Belichick. Sure, good ownership is important, but only to the point of not interfering or being overly stingy. It's not Brady, even though he is a top QB. I think the Matt Cassel experiment proved it. No, they didn't make the playoffs, but they won 11 games with an average-at-best QB (and no, it wasn't because of their defense). Belichick handles the coaching and personnel duties on the team. Even when Pioli et al were with them, I remember reading that Belichick was the guy behind everything. This might sound outrageous, but I'd trade our whole roster for Belichick, give him whatever money he wanted, and let him build the roster from scratch. I'd be willing to bet that by year 3 we'd be better off than we are now.

In case anyone doesn't know by now, in addition to their own 1st rounder, the Pats also have Oakland's first and Carolina's second (which is almost a first).

He's actually talented but he has got to be the stupidest player to ever put on an NFL uniform.

1. Nobody's whining. Really. 2. Having an unbiased opinion is different than having a biased one. 3. Stupidly excited is a fun place to be...too bad you stopped halfway.

Everytime someone reads his column, he has a triple-fat latte. That's the way Peter 'Burger' King rolls. And by rolls, I mean the ones hiding his Brett Favre belly ring. This guy is the most biased reporter out there. Having said that, Kyle Williams is awesome, but knowledgeable NFL fans knew that a long time ago.

Admittedly I'm a biased Lee Evans fan, but did anyone notice the prolonged block he threw so Jackson could score that long touchdown? Granted he's had a few off games the last little while, but you've got to be delusional to think he's not far and away the best WR on this team.

as with any of these trade scenarios, it all depends on what you can get...if you could get joe thomas or jake long for spiller, of course you would do it (at least i would) but the problem is, you'd never get anywhere close to that...for one, trades don't work that way anymore, and two, running backs are far too interchangeable (another reason why it was dumb to draft yet another RB at 9th) and therefore have less trade value than other positions

what the hell was that?!?! was he drunk??

It still amazes me that he's not automatically considered the best Bill ever. I really don't even think there is a debate. Played in a 3-4 with subpar nose tackles. Was consistently double and triple teamed, yet is the all-time leader in sacks. Kelly, Thomas, Reed, OJ, etc..all had excellent careers, but none of them would be considered even in the top 10 at their positions except maybe OJ. Yet there is case to be made that Bruce is the greatest defensive player of all-time...definitely the greatest DE.

i'm going to new york for the weekend and wanted to know the best place to watch the game also, i'm going to the sunday nighter (giants at philly)...if anyone has any knowledge, can you let me know the best way to go about getting tickets for the game? i don't want to have to pay an arm and a leg on stubhub

whoa whoa whoa! easy there, grasshopper...the fitz is alright, and thigpen's not bad either...i'll give you kordell stewart though
