Just being a little sarcastic there. I am sure Harris works very hard. But we need guys who are hungary and want to win, will doanything to win and grab the job by the nuts when they get in the game. See Jarius Byrd. Not guys who play timid or are not good enough to fill in when the starter goes down. See Corto and Wendling. Both are good on special teams, neither should be on this team long term.

Just like every other issue with Buffalo...It is a lack of balls from the front office, to the coaching staff, to the quarterback, to the entire attitude of the team. If you draft and evaluate guys to be 2nd string fill-ins who never can really compete for a starting spot because they are not talented enough. Your starters are never really pushed, and if one of them are injured the back up is not talented enough to step in long term. The front office needs to grow a pair when drafting and get the most talented player available. Forget high motor,forget smart player, what matters is playmaking ability. They need to make a statement that if you are not good enough to start, you are not good enough to be a Buffalo Bill. You should not be content to be a special teams ace year in and year out...If you are, you have already lost.

Yes I was talking about Ellison. And, no, I wish Buffalo would draft guys in the later rounds who have the potential to be impact players, and work them down to special teams if they cannot hack it, instead of drafting guy who project to be good special teamers, but have no real potential to be impact players....if that makes sense. Like I said it is an organizational problem of how they evaluate.

Great, so we have a lazy college safety playing as an undersized NFL linebacker with a work ethic problem. GO Modrak & Guy! I bet he can cover punts though.

I equate the Bills to a baseball team that keeps drafting pitchers who project out to be middle relievers instead of starters, because middle relief is a very important part of baseball. Yes, we all know special teams is important, but the 5 times a game a guy Wendling or Wilson are involved, is not as important as say they 50 or so plays your OT is in on, or the 35 to 40 plays anyone of your linebackers may be involved with. Also, regarding Nic Harris, can anyone show me one solid NFL linebacker (in the history of the game) who was ever considered being moved to a safety position? He is too small to ever be an impact player. Regarding Ellison being 234 lbs, I could list Cindy Crawford at 6'2 and 220, but that doesn't make it true.

All I am saying is he is another Bill without a true position. Classic line"he's bigger than Ellison" Ellison is drastically undersized by NFL standards. I know we can't get 1st round talent with every pick, but my issue is they draft guys intentionally to be career special teamers. Other teams drat guys to compete for starting positions, if they can't hack it, they play special teams for a year, and are gone if they do not improve. We get guys like Wilson, Wendling, Corto, Harris, Stupar...All high motor guys who give it there all. I am sure they are wonderful around the fans and are great to have a beer with...But are they, or will they ever be playmakers? Are they talented enough guys to be kept around year after year and be anything but fill ins? Probably not, and if they are not, it is time to free up those spots for guys who could possibly develop into difference makers and let them learn on special teams. (Yes, I know Harris is a rookie, I am talking about an organizational mindset more than anything.)

I don't understand this about Bills fans (I have been a Bills fan all my life, but outside WNY) We have garbage players, and garbage backing them up and often we are calling for the garbage backing them up to get a shot, instead of just getting rid of all the garbage. Nic Harris, is too small to be a LB and too slow to be a DB. He should not have been drafted in the first place. Buffalo drafts three guys every year with "high upsides" who come cheap and can't do anything except offer high energy on special teams. We need to cut all these guys bring in some talent...Every where. Then move they guys like Ellison to back up roles. we will never be competitive until this happens.

LOL....At least it would be "factual" I'm sure the downward spiral of the Bills would be completely attributed to George Bush and Capitalism in general.

No politics here, but I did see Farenheit 911, as well as Bowling for Columbine. Both were filled with tons of factual errors even though they were billed as "documentaries." Every credible source who saw them will attest to this fact. The man is an elitist, lying, opportunistic piece of garbage....not a patriot. Patriots actually care about their country. They do not enjoy all of it's fruits and than sh*t on it every chance they get.

The man could not make a good movie if you gave him the script for Gone With The Wind and sent him back in time 80 years.

Kind of a goofy analogy, but everytime I see Trentative, I think of that movie. I think we can all agree that Trent has shown glimpses of being a good QB but somewhere along the way he lost his balls. Given who is available on the free agent market, and the fact that not to many qb's in the draft that are projected to be big time QB's in the NFL, is it worth it to stick it out with Edwards the rest of this year and see if he can get his balls back, or is the guy done in Buffalo?

I hate to say it, but if that is all the available FA QB's in 2010 and we can't trade for a proven leader starting QB, then I think I take my chances with Captian Checkdown and try to get the best quarterback available in the draft....At this point in his career, Edwards is a better option than anyone on that list, with the possible exception of Quinn, who has shown less than Edwards has at this point in his career.

Jeff Fisher wants Bud Amdams to let him out of his cntract and wants Ralph Wilson to sign him to a long term contract for one reason, and one reason alone. Man Bear Pig! Excelsior!!!!!!!

1) GM 2) HC 3) QB 4) MLB 5) OT I actually think the offensive and defensive lines will be ok with the future development of Maybin, Williams, Bell, Wood, and Levitre. Of course our draft will most likely look like this. 1) overreach for a 5'9 DB form Ohio State. 2) overreach for a 5'9 safety from Ohio State. 3) pick an udersized line backer who has great special teams potential. 4) trade the rest of our picks in the draft for Jake Delhomme and cash considerations.

And what seperates Flutie from Tebow is that Flutie was very fundamentally sound, as well as being a good athlete, he was just small so he did not get a lot of love from coaches. Tebow is not fundamentally sound.

I agree, but the record is what the record is....... and the record is that Flutie (for whatever reason) could not stay in the NFL and had to develop in the CFL for many years. When he got a second chance he made the most of it....but even during his good years in Buffalo, he was an average to mediocre QB (numbers wise, not balls and win wise) And he managed to get benched before the Music City >>>>> We'll we all know what BS that was.

The Answer to all our problems http://www.geocities.com/buffbillsfaninfl/jp.jpg

If Colt McCoy was named Sheldon Dinklefish he would be a 4th round pick.

Vince Young....got benched for Kerry Collins....KERRY COLLINS FOR CHRSIT SAKE, and everyone loved him out of college after the Rose Bowl the year before he beat USC because he was an athlete who knew how to win. All I need to know about him is that Tenessee is 0 and 6, and was down 52 - 0 last week and Jeff Fischer STILL did not trust him to be in the game. Sometimes silence can be deafening. Michael Vick was a great athlete who knew how to win and was immensly overrated as a starting QB in the NFL....take out the character issues, he was not that good anyway, and was REGRESSING badly as a quarterback before going to jail. Cade McKnown was a top 10 pick who was a good athlete who knew how to win, and like the others, did not have the fundamental skills to be a quarterback in the NFL. But obviously a lot of people thought this guy was the answer because he was a top 10 pick, so to say nobody thought he was a good QB is just not true. Noetheless, he was out of the league in 3 years. Flutie, another good athlete who knew how to win, was out of the NFL within 5 years. he had to develop FOR A LONG time before being ready to lead in the NFL. And I was (and am) a big Flutie fan when he was in Buffalo. Tebow is another very, very good athlete, who is not a fundamentally sound QB...Some overconfident GM will say to themself...I can turn this great athlete into a fundamentally sound NFL quarterback....maybe so, maybe no. But the track record for scrambling QB's with poor fundamentals, who come from College programs where they were treated like royalty, and are not challenged to improve becasue they "were exceptional athletes and knew how to win" is not a very good one.

And middle linenbacker, and left tackle, and get a new coach, and get a new gm, and get a new owner,and,and,and and.....it is maddening.

PLEASE SEE: VINCE YOUNG, MICHAEL VICK, CADE MCNOWN....AND DARE I SAY DOUG FLUTIE (UNTIL HE GOT SOME MORE EXPERIENCE IN THE CFL)

And take "i can't stay focused on my job for 4 quarters Scott with you...While your at it why don't we purge the team of all of our special teams Superstars who can't even be called adequate back ups in the NFL....Seriously I have never seen a team draft more people for their special teams upside than the Bills. It would be like a baseball team continuing to draft guys who could be really good middle relievers one day...It is ridicilious.
