For those in favor of Tyrod Taylor, maybe a coach from Seattle would also hire an OC who would see Taylor as a Russel Wilson type skill player, and be able to maximize his talent. Wilson has similar attributes, limitations, yet wins. An offense similar to Seattles would already have the quirks worked out for a short qb as far as seeing middle of field, or the scrambling type plays, etc... so we wouldn't be starting over with offense necessarily, possibly improving... and he is accustomed to large corners, and focusing onstopping the run.... our current roster may fit ( therefore avoiding large turnover), and potentially return to the level to which it is capable of performing.

Dick C. --- Farewell...hope you change your mind..although I doubt you plan to since you gave up your identity when sharing your years of service. So- I wish you the best...

Tim,
Could Levitre play LT and be solid, or is he purely a guard who can fill in at tackle in a pinch?
Is Eric Wood a good enough Center to trade down with a G.B. or Philly to get a G?
If either of these guys are suited to move would it be feasible that Nix could be considering moving down with G.B. or Philly to pick up extra picks and draft a Iupati or Pouncey in mid 1st?
If not -- considering the top 2 tackles are off -- would Williams be the most logical choice vs. reaching on Clausen?
And most importantly -- please tell me they won't draft Tebow .....
-
You made my point. At team like the patriots have the luxury to take the risk in hopes of high reward. They have that luxury becaue TT can sit for 3 -4 years developing behind Brady....There is an established QB to help teach / mold / adjust TT as a QB.
The Bills do not have that luxury. If TT fails in N.E. no one cares. -- if he fails in Buffalo we continue to digress.....
Quite to the contrary - another guy who doesn't think TT's such a "huge risk" is our nemesis Bill Belicheat*, who happens to have three 2nd-round picks, including Jacksonville's #12 spot (#44 overall). Would he* use one of those to draft Tom Brady's* eventual replacement? Belicheat* certainly has the luxury of 2-3 more years of starting Brady* while developing Tebow and, being a very close friend of Urban Meyer, has visited the Gators camp many times and already developed something of a relationship with Tebow...Link - Belicheat* calls Tebow ‘great’
BB* doesn't seem all that concerned about TT's 'mechanics, either...
Patriots coach Bill Belicheat* said last week at the owners meetings that he* wasn’t concerned about Tebow having to work on his throwing motion.
“Tiger Woods has rebuilt his golf swing twice. Every quarterback I’ve* ever had or coached has worked on his mechanics and improved them. Phil Simms, certainly {Jeff] Hostetler, [Tom] Brady*. I* can’t think of many that haven’t. It’s part of a player’s development,” Belicheat* said.
(Link - Tim Tebow opens up tight-lipped coach)
Interestingly enough, some have suggested Tebow might be better suited or at least initially moved to Tight End, and the Cheatriettes* just happen to need one...
There’s been plenty of talk about Tebow possibly switching to another position in the pros. Belicheat* believes Tebow’s willingness will serve him well at the next level.
“My* sense of Tim Tebow is that if you asked him to play nose, he’d play nose. I* think he’s that kind of kid. Whatever you ask him to do, I* think he’d do,” Belicheat* told reporters.
(Link - Patriots'* Bill Belicheat* offers glowing praise of Tim Tebow)
As SI's Tim Layden wrote...
Link - The Tebow experiment is inevitable
So the question is, are the Bills going to be the trailblazers? Is Tebow going to usher in the next Bills dynasty and take us from cellar-dweller to Superbowl contender? Or, 3 years from now, will the Cheatriettes* still own us, and will we be moaning, "Crap, why can't the Bills get players like Tim Tebow?"

Tebows not a huge risk. Most Qb's take 2-3 years to develop. so will tebow.
Seriously, Tebow is not a huge risk? When everyone besides Jim Kelly believe he is a project. Consensus is out, it is not a debate. To a man everyone agrees he needs to change throwing motion, feet, ability to read defenses, ability to look off safeties, etc....and he doesn't have a gun to overcome mistakes...The word is out Maxx - he is a project. And a project with that many tools that need developed = risk. So therefore big project = big risk...It isn't as if he is being debated. There aren't people out there fighting to defend his QB abilities...The only debate is whether or not he could develop into a NFL QB based on his leadership and athletic ability....Project...Risk...And the bills can't afford another project QB.
-
I am not a regular poster...I do read the posts in hope to find some original scoops, and to get the vibe of the fans...but the Tebow conversation and apparent courting from Kelly has me frustrated. I am not a typical nay sayer. The Nix regimehas potential, and I am willing to wait and see....I actually see a ray of hope with the type of philosophy they advertise....However, Tebow is a project for a team with a QB - and a luxury roster spot to place him in to see if he develops. The Bills however do not. And wasting a pick...even if it is the 3rd round...is a waste of an oppurtunity to receive a player who can fill a hole and contribute to turning this franchise around. Tebow may be all that and more. But Buffalo can't risk that chance.

He appears better suited to be a RT, GB had him working LT. Either way, I would much rather see them signing young potential then old run down talent at the end of the road. Both are risky, and the young talent has higher potential for reward...
The direction of the O line is the most encouraging sign for the future.

Where are you getting these sack stats? Is this from billyjoetoadlickersopinion.com? Is Fantasy Stats Advantage the original source? If so, who are they? What do they know? How do they compile them? I don't see anything whatsoever on their site which makes these stats seem the slightest bit legitimate.
The 11.5 is bogus, and the 6.0 is really bogus. I saw the stats on a blog if I remember correctly, but is it anyone who has any knowledge whatsoever of who Peters was supposed to be blocking on which play? Do they count sacks that happen after 5 seconds? Do you know?
I don't know about the credibility of that site, but on Sirius NFL radio last night they were talking with Vic Carucci and he stated Peters had 11.5 sacks given up -- and was ranked 32nd amoungst NFL tackles overall last season.
Don't know where he gets his numbers from either, just thought I would add his comments. I think Vic is credible.

Right, because a DT on the the other side and a WR is more important than an "in his prime" LT.
Quite simply, this organization is clueless when it comes to putting together a winning team.
Protect your QB and get to the opposing QB. Simple as that. Wanna guess the two weakest units are right now on the Bills?
They didn't lose Peters because they didn't identify the position as more important then a dt or wr. They let him go because of how he was conducting his efforts to re do a contract..because he was pricing himself as one of the top 3 lt. Stroud and Evans were asking for money at the appropriate values, and in a positive fashion...
How Peters conducted himself on the field (or lack thereof) and in the negotiating room is why he is in Philly...not be OBD can't determine the importance of a LT....
-
The Bills didn't whiff on Leonard. Assuming you meant the FO didn't recognize his talent level.
The Bills missed with the coaching and schemes...they never allowed him to flourish. Same can be said for Lee Evans, Donte Whitner, Poz...
Talent is there. We just run everything so vanilla that the players are limited in there ability to have game breaking impact.
-
We already have our version of C.J. Mosely. His name is Spencer Johnson
Spencer Johnson has great upside. DT rotation is solid. Unless we are looking to add a stud. B level DT we have enough off.
Sean Jones, resolves safety issue.

However, there is hardly any prior evidence about linebackers named Rey.
Orakpo
Cushing
or 2nd round Clay Mathews.
-
are you saying we paid about 3.3 million for a nickel back...wow, wonder how much the two starters are gonna make.
that's an awful lot for a back up.
3.3 is nothing if he resumes playing as he did in S.D. -- he is one bad yr., bad fit, from being a 6 mil a yr. man.
-
There are some here that don't like who we have signed and think we are just signing backups. I want to know who you think the bills should sign that is not some other teams leftovers and is starting material.
Sean Jones
Kelley Washington - not necesarily a starter -- but could fill Hardy's role in red zone
Freddie Keiaho
-
anyone know why we aren't pursuing Sean Jones at all?? Wouldn't he be a decent FA fit. Especially if Whitner goes FS?
And Florence...what's the staus there?

If you guys really believe that PP is as good as Conlan, go ahead and believe that.
I think that you guys are foolish to believe that, but that is my two cents.
I was answering to the comment " At this stage in his career, he certainly is no Patrick Willis or Shane Conlan (the guy he is most often compared to). "
So simply I am saying at this point of Conlan's career -- comparing as essentially rookie years -- he is comparable to Conlan.
-
Nice try.
So I will go ahead and mark you down as someone who thinks PP is as good as Conlan.
In my view, Shane Conlan was an impact player -- while PP has been anything but.
I really hope that he turns it around though. I would love to see him stuff some holes and stop running around blockers leaving gaping holes for the opposing team's rbs. That would be a nice start.
If PP was running with the same talent level Conlan was during his tenure I am sure he would easily have a bigger impact. I don't recall Conlan being the game changing, bone crushing, playmaker of that D either. Loved Conlan - but Poz is no slouch in comparison...

Silly stats.
And last time I checked, Chris Kelsay isn't exactly Bruce Smith. Close thoguh.Bruce Smith
85 = 48 tkl - 6.5 sks - 0 FF - 0 int
86 = 63 tkl - 15 sks - 3FF - 0 INT
87 = 78 tkl - 12 sks - 3 FF - 0 INT
88 = 56 tkl - 11 sks - 3 FF - 0INT
89 = 88tkl - 13 sks - 0 FF - 0 INT
90 = 101tkl - 19sks - 4FF - 0 INT
Kelsay
03 = 19 tkl - 0 - 0 - 0
04 = 37 tkl - 4.5 sks - 1 FF 1 int
05 = 44 tkl - 2.5 - 1 FF - 1 INT
06 = 61 tkl - 5.5 sks - 1 - 0
07 = 43 tkl - 2.5 sks - 0 - 1
08 = 47tkl - 2 sks - 0 - 0
Guess your right

Interesting post.
Yet, it would have been nice not to have seen him run over by Clinton Portis at the goal line in the preseason. I would love to see the guy take on blockers more rather than try to run around them.
I have not given up on PP, but I certainly would have liked to have seen him perform better. At this stage in his career, he certainly is no Patrick Willis or Shane Conlan (the guy he is most often compared to).
It was essentially his rookie year. He got a lot of experience. I really hope that he steps it up this year.
Conlan
1987 114 tkl - .5 sacks - 0 int - 1 FF
1988 84 tkl - 1.5 sack - 1 int - 1 ff
Total For Career -- 5 INT 6FF 0TD
PP
2008 110 tkl - 0 sack - 1 FF - 1INT

"potential to be a great middle linebacker" Like Dick Butkus great?
How about good to very good?
I think Butkus - Singletary - Lewis are in a category above simply "great". But if your hung up on the term "great" vs. the point of my response we can change it.
he has the potential to be good or maybe even very good, but probably not great...at least not Butkus great.

Great post. Poz is judged harshly for his play in essentially his rookie year. often accused of only making tackles 8 yards down field. I think he has the potential to be a great MLB....last year he dealt with the play calling responsibilities and a DL in front of him that was pushed back 5 yards each play....a year under his belt calling the defense should help make it more natural, and therefore his ability to react vs. think will improve...if the DL is addressed he should have more oppurtunities to make tackles closer to the line of scrimmage....it was the year before Baltimore drafted Ngata that Ray Lewis found his play suffering -- and he made it clear he needed a DL that would clean up in front so he could make plays.

Should have just tendered him and left it at that. He wasn't a flight risk. Sign Fred to a long term deal
Coach search has come (again) who is the best fit?

Also, Taylor vs Wilson, stats first two starting seasons not so far apart that it's not feasible to think they are not so different. Hence my point an OC from Seattle staff that worked withWilson could impact Taylor's development in a positive way
