QB Bills

I'm skeptical about coach-speak, especially this early on, but this is one of my favourite things I've heard Rex say so far. Goodwin is just ridiculously fast. He just needs to stay healthy and he needs to be used properly. In all my years of watching the Bills, I've never seen anyone blow by defenders the way he does.

Are you serious with this list? Fitzpatrick? McIntyre? Parrish? The kickers? You include George Wilson then say Aaron Williams might be a decent safety. TJ Graham was a horrible pick, but Roscoe Parrish had talent? I don't want to say anything in case you were drinking at the time of the post, but I think you're really out to lunch here.

OP is right. What's the point of the front office doing all that stressing about a guy when he probably won't even be that good? They should probably just forget about the rest of their picks too. Just don't show up to the draft at all. Watch all these other loser teams pick the guys we may have, pay them a lot of money, and watch them flame out in a couple of years. Would you rather do that, or spend a few months lounging at the Pegulas' pad in Florida until training camp starts?

I had no idea Pete Carroll was at one point employed by the Bills.

Of course he deserves credit. He was a better GM than Whaley. Go through the roster and see who's responsible for bringing in more impact players. And unlike Whaley has this off-season, he didn't have the benefit of spending like a drunken sailor (on coaching and personnel). Nix gets way too much hate on here from uninformed fans. Every team in the league passed on Wilson and Gronkowski at least once.

And they would be right.

I love this argument in favour of the Watkins move by pretty much saying "hey, we would have screwed up and drafted ebron instead of ODB anyway, so it's a great trade!"

You have the most ironic screen name here.

Nice observations OP. This year also marks the return of the X-Files and the cigarette-smoking man. Let's see if he's softened his stance on never letting the Bills win the Super Bowl.

Probably not a popular choice here, but....Jason Peters.

Baldinger...deadfinger...whatever either way...poor bastard torrey holt has one of those too, from what i recall

Isn't he the guy with the messed up finger? Maybe that disgusting digit gives him the power to see into the future.

You're right. I'd much rather listen to the wise words of Emmitt smith.

It's just semantics, but I believe the last Bills home MNF game was the Cleveland one. Where we lost on the missed field goal at the end. That Dallas game was unreal though.

He got caught with bud, bud.

Forgot about the Dareus thing. Crap. Would really suck if our best player misses time early on with who we open against.

http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/166374/john-claytons-five-best-monday-night-football-games-of-2015 Look at Clayton's pick for best MNF matchup of the year...

Good teams don't care about the schedule. If we're a good team, we should be alright with this.

It most definitely is. And an uninformed one at that. This defense is built predominantly by Nix who added Mario, Dareus, Gilmore, AW and Bradham. Should also have been Kiko if not for the trade. Kyle and Leo are holdovers from Levy. Whaley has added Hughes and Brown, along with placeholders at the third LB position and free safety. On the offense, there are only two competent linemen (Glenn and Wood) and neither is from Whaley. They paid an arm and a leg for a star receiver with no QB to get him the ball. Woods was a Nix guy. Fred was a Levy guy. The rest of the offense sucked. Including all three of the linemen Whaley drafted last year. As for the offense being "the most improved in the league", we'll have to see that once the season starts. It can be argued that they overpaid for all three of their big additions in Clay, McCoy and Harvin. Their biggest two issues on the team were QB and oline, and Cassell and Incognito are not going to fix that. He gets an A for spending a lot of fracking money like a teenager with Daddy's credit card and possibly hurting our cap situation a few years down the road. But as for results, he's a C- to D+ at best.

No it's not. According to some, anything good that has happened is because of Whaley, and anything bad that happened is because of Nix. Then you have low standards.

I've read it here. Not saying you are saying that. My whole point is that it's a ridiculous comment. Again, for those who think Whaley is worlds better than Nix, please state when you think it is he actually took over the primary responsibilities. And the players brought in after that point. Yes, this is a talented roster. But the majority of the credit for that goes to Nix, not Whaley.

Reading some of these responses about how he deserves an A or nothing less than a B is mind-boggling. Perhaps a better question would be, who on this roster do you give Whaley credit for adding? Giving him an F is a bit much. He's done some good things. And finding a QB is predominantly circumstance and/or luck. But I guess it all depends on when you think he took over from Buddy. The funny thing is, people like to give him credit for Kiko and Robert Woods but blame Nix for EJ.

You're selling Fred short. Nothing new for him though. He will prove to be the more effective back by the end of the year. As per usual. Not many RBs could have done much with that clown show of an offense last season. McCoy included.

A+ I love how he built an amazing defense by bringing in guys like Mario, Dareus, Kyle, AW, Bradham, Leo. Also, great job drafting the only two good linemen on the team in Glenn and Wood. Let's not forget about trading a first round pick for a receiver without a qb on the roster. And trading a potential star linebacker for a running back who likes to dance around in the backfield for your ground and pound offense. Seriously, you pompom wavers need a reality check. Buddy Nix brought in more talent to this team than Whaley. But he didn't draft Russell Wilson!! Guess who else passed on him? Every other gm in the league. Twice.

Not necessarily. If they can fix the run-blocking, we'll see how good Fred really is. The guy is the most criminally underrated RB in the league.
