Dude gets fired after 2 years of a 5 year contract with a 15-16 record despite huge injury issues and he is supposed to be happy about it? Give me a break. I don't blame him one bit for what he said and most of it is true! He should have never been hired or given a fair chance. He was undermined almost immediately from the inside.

That he had to sniff an ammonia cap and he said the first half was kind of a blur. Sounds like by today's standards he would have been diagnosed with a concussion and they would have been forced to play Matt Cavanaugh. Would it have made a difference? I suspect it may have.

Anyone who watched any FSU games while EJ was QB and compares him to Watson's performances at Clemson is completely blind or has zero knowledge of football.

Luck was a once in a generational prospect. RG3 wasn't even on the radar the year before he blew up. Remember when Conner Cook was going to be #1 overall? Or Teddy Bridgewater? While Darnold had a great year, he is not the prospect that Luck was, at this point at least, and could easily fall off before he comes out.

Almost every single year "next year's" class is going to be better.

There are always outliers, but for the most part good teams win close games. Good teams have good QBs who can get you that game winning drive. Good teams have good coaches who can manage the clock and allow that drive to take place. Good teams have fewer stupid key penalties which keep the opposition in the game.

My post from other thread on this: I watched a good amount of ND games and Kizer did absolutely nothing in those games which made me come away thinking he would be a top NFL QB. Same with Miami and Kayaa. These guys may have the "tools" and "biggest upside" but to me, if you can't pass the initial visual test of watching them play then you should not even be in consideration for a first round pick. I will say this though in the ND games, I often found myself saying "why do they keep running the ball all game when it is going no where." Not sure why Kelly didn't open it up more for Kizer is it Kelly's fault or did he just not trust him? Finally, a huge red flag to me is any college QB with a completion % below 60 in their final year. Even more so if they showed regression which Kizer did. If you can't hit 60% in college how are you going to be effective in the NFL? I'm really glad you are not making the selection on draft day.

Good teams find ways to win close games. Bad teams do not. It's really that simple.

The great news is that it looks like we'll have the chance to get a really good player at 10. Whether it be a WR, S, or LB. Now, if we go somewhere else (CB for example), I will be disappointed.

Gilmore. Definitely Gilmore. Put on an island all year long. Got burned a few times, sure, but who wouldn't under those circumstances? What you don't see is all the plays he completely shuts the guy down because they don't throw it there. So what if he can't tackle. Primetime was a horrific tackler and he's the best CB of all-time. A noticeably better CB than Darby at this stage IMO.

I was about to do this, then I got to the first position, QB, got to thinking who our QB is going to be next year, got depressed and stopped. Maybe I'll try again later.

Seriously? He lost the Dolphins game for us by not being able to kick it into the end zone on kickoffs and missing kicks. He is absolute garbage. He has got worse each year. Wake up man.

Vince Young did not graduate in 3 years. Watson is a smart, composed, professional, charismatic leader. Vince Young was lazy and immature when he left Texas. Just because they are both black, doesn't mean they are the same guy.

So you missed the 2 beautiful passes to Leggett, one caught at the towards the end of the game and the one that would have been a perfect throw had Leggett not stopped the route for a split second. The missed throw was actually more impressive. He read the defense perfectly, threw a perfect ball at the perfect time...Leggett just let up a tad and couldn't recover. This is NOT the old West Virginia offense of screens and short routes from Geno Smith. And throwing it up to your best WR who can make plays is a bad thing? Haven't we been screaming for Tyrod to do that to Sammy for years? The guy has talent, a great head on his shoulders and is a true leader (something we have lacked severely with Tyrod). Sign me up for him on draft day, no question. The great news is that there are a lot of quality players at the top of this draft. At this time, I'd be pretty happy with Watson, Williams, Hooker, or Adams.

Have you ever even watched football? He is so much better than Cardale Jones. Really, it is not even close.

Why is it so hard for people to understand that he is paid by the Bills and is not going to bad mouth his employer which would, most likely, lead to him losing not only that radio show but his dream job of being an NFL play by play announcer? If you don't go into that show knowing that, well then, you are an idiot. I know I'd go day in day out lying like that if I had that gig. It's perfectly reasonable.

Just keep telling yourself that. We saw the exact same things that got him benched in college. He has a great arm, but he will never be a great QB. Never.

Again, this is utter non-sense. The prodigal son is about a son who convinces his father to give him his inheritance early and he goes out and wastes all the money (the meaning of prodigal is basically wasteful or reckless spending). Then he returns broke, leading to the saying "the prodigal son returns." It is not even close to what you are claiming particle sun means. But, what do I know, I'm an "idiom", I voted Saban BTW. He is organized, disciplined, and knows how to run a program. He manages the team, not the offense or the defense, like a true HC should. They are always the most disciplined team on the field and rarely beat themselves. He is process driven and that is what a true HC should be.

That is utter non-sense. You sure you are not thinking of the Prodigal Son?

Guess you weren't around to troll during the Marv Levy GM days, huh?

Ridiculous statement. Absurd.

I'm fine with being worse next season. As long as it is a lot worse! Maybe we'll have a shot at Darnold. Interesting on Darnold...USC's defensive coordinator wanted to make him a LB. Reminds me of another Bills QB who was a LB at one time.

It is his accuracy that is most concerning to me. He wasn't accurate in college, he wasn't accurate in pre-season, and he wasn't accurate vs the Jets. On his best play the WR was wide open because Revis fell. But the pass made Hunter slow down and not score. If Revis didn't fall the ball would have been defended as it was under thrown. Unfortunately, accuracy doesn't seem to be something that you magically become better at when you join the NFL, but who knows?

You are incorrect. In a trade you are hit with a cap penalty just as if you cut the player.
