So what you are saying is we have at least 3 more years until we get a franchise quarterback? Oh Joy? But hey what is the difference between 11 years and 14 years of losing? If you are convinced he already is a franchise quarterback (as you corrected my post to read), then yes you are content with losing if you truly believe that.

Your standards are very low for a franchise quarterback. No wonder you are content with losing.

Nix hopefully can learn how to draft, because he said it himself when free agency starts he is home sleeping. He has to be one of the worst, if not the worst, GMs in the league-agree with you there. What free agents did we sign that were being chased by other teams? Barnett has turned out to be a steal, but he was available during training camp and wasn't signed. Nobody else wanted Merriman. Chandler had about 2 career catches before this year.

No doubt. Brad Smith, Merriman, the list goes on and on. To be quite honest, this team would be even worse then they already are if they signed players based on race.

Spikes didn't leave here as a free agent, he was traded, but I do agree with you, that was a very dumb post. Bills are alot of bad things, but racists? I would wonder more if the person who accuses the Bills of being racists, themselves being that way more then the organization.

At least the Bungals do go up and down in success, a couple division titles since we have been relevant.

Did he call the city of Buffalo a bunch of losers? That is the team he is building.

No fan or group of fans has ever ran anyone out of town, kept someone in town or brought someone in town. NFL franchises, and especially the Buffalo Bills couldn't give a care less what their fans think, especially when it comes to personnel decisions. As he said in his HOF speech, he did celebrate the first time he scored. Marv Levy jumped his ass and told him to "Act Like You Have Been There Before" and he never did again. Now that is class. Even Thurman mentioned how that little thing from Marv helped him grow up. Not sure if Johnson will ever grow up, but then again he will never be half the player Thurman was either.

If you accomplish #2 on your list-#1 comes automatically. So in theory you have them backwards.

Don't mind Dr. Dareustink he trolls just to criticize other posters with not much useful input to any subject himself. I do agree with you on the Fitz subject. I heard on NFL Network a month or so ago, that you never extend an "up and coming" quarterback during the season in which he is "up and coming." Kinda like buying a car without taking it for a test drive, you paid for it now you are stuck with it and the poor performance. The way Fitz is playing for a good portion of the season, we wouldn't have had too much competition for him, certainly nobody else would have given a career backup that will always only be a very good backup the kind of bucks that the Bills did.

It is called coaching and game planning.

Whatever? What did he say that hasn't been said a million times already, and deservedly so.

What is so valuable about Nix? In my opinion it is one of the worst hires that Ralph has made to this point. He has almost totally blown his first two drafts, with a couple players still having a little light at the end of the NFL tunnel at best. He made it known that when free agency started last year he was going to be home sleeping. No team nowadays can be built entirely by the draft, especially when you don't know how to draft. Call me crazy but normally a personnel genius doesn't get his first big break at the tender age of 70. Ralph is a big problem in this organization, we all know, but he isn't going any where until he passes. Nix is the next big stumbling block in this organization, he has made so many personnel blunders in under two years, he might be the worst GM in franchise history already.

And monkeys will fly out of my butt?

If he had just went over and handed the ball to the official I would have applauded Johnson for trying to grow up. That obviously wasnt the case though, he did whatever that waddle was acting like a kid that just got punished with his head down. Can this guy to anything without trying to draw individual attention to himself-in a team game. It doesnt really matter because in 2 or 3 months, posts on him will be whether it was smart for the Bills not to resign him. I say let him walk. That is my point exactly. I am not saying he isn't a good guy, in fact I met him his rookie season at camp and he stayed and chatted with us for awhile. It seems like he just cannot understand the concept of a "team" game, and is in such dire need for attention to himself that it often lately has affected the entire team. It scared me that he is acting just like a young Chad Ocho Stinko, and is in love with himself too much that it puts the Buffalo Bills way on the back burner. With most players and us fans the Bills either win or lose, with him it appears that his win or lose is only dependent on what he did that game and whether he was able to act a fool and get attention.

Has he lived up to the expectations of the #3 pick overall, no, clearly not. Am I ready to give up on him yet? Clearly no to that question also. He could without a doubt use some help around him, but will he get it with this front office in place? With this owner in place? Who knows. You rarely ever hear Dareus' name during a game anymore unless it is for a penalty. Let's just hope for the best, he might be the only hope of this front office actually hitting on one draft pick in the first two compelte drafts they have run here.

Exactly, and my biggest problem now is Fitz is obviously no better then a stop gap, but because of this ingenious front office he is now forced to be a franchise quarterback, which he will never be. Alot of people on here don't understand your statement about accountability, to alot of people it is only in play when they are right. Thanks for your commons sense on this issue.

Thanks. Everyone with a brain knew the Bills sucked, the issue was Fitzputrid-but you are too busy trying to criticize people to read the post first.

Gee that is a good idea? Whose doctor told you that one? Knock Knock: Who's There? Ryan Ryan who? Ryan in the world would you give Fitzpatrick all that money!

Totally agreed. After about the second or third week this year, someone recalled a post from a couple years earlier after they signed Fitz, and called me out personally because I said I didn't think it was a great signing. They acted like Fitz was going to the Hall of Fame after two or three games and I was an idiot-who has the last laugh now?

My sister's husband's brother's neice's boyfriend doesn't watch football but he did tell me that Fitz has had a broken arm since birth.

I don't think he threw an interception, but you are correct in that it seemed like more of his passes his Titans hands then Bills hands. As far as Gailey, people on this board have been referring to him as a "Mastermind", don't see that much lately. You get what you pay for when it comes to Gailey & Nix. Except for the once in a decade when they lose to the Bills.

That is what comes with the territory when you have the leagues greediest owner.

Dude, take a deep breath. One decent quarter of football doesn't all at once make him worthy of #9 pick overall. Almost two full seasons as a top ten pick, still no 100 yard games. He has talent, but as a full time #1, doubt it. One decent quarter or half doesn't wipe out 25 or so games of cluelessness. Nobody with common sense can argue that picking him wasn't a luxury pick, if you do you just sound dumb.

It is normally only the teams that put poor quality on the field that have poor quality in ticket sales, and only some of them do. Why would they reduce it? They don't lose money by those seats being empty, but if they win they sell those extra tickets. It is all about money, only way they reduce seats is to have more room for luxury boxes that make them even more money.
