I wouldn't doubt that. I don't think many D1 football players go into their freshman year only hoping to be a great college player. Not trying to start a debate or anything, I don't want to let this topic get out of hand haha.

Problem #1: You don't get paid 7+ figures in college (anymore)

Every time I watch Colin Klein I leave feeling more unimpressed than the last time I watched him. His throwing motion is as ugly as they come and him running just doesn't do it for me. I wouldn't even draft the kid, to be honest.

I don't think anyone that is advocating Kelly doesn't have reservations about him. For me (obviously on the Kelly bandwagon) this is all about taking the first step in proving that the Bills are truly committed to changing the way things are done around OBD. Kelly provides the highest reward possibility, IMO, of any candidate out there. Lets swing for the fences and take a chance on a up and comer that by all accounts is changing the way the game is being played.

This thread has turned into a 3-4 man pissing match. You all have said the same things in ~200 posts/person in varying words. We get it.

Woo!! Lets hurry up and seal the deal for Kelly to come to Buffalo!

McDaniels already reported that he will NOT leave NE for a head coaching position. /endthread

I would love to see either of them in a Bills uniform.

I wouldn't mind having Joe D and Metz back but I'm not sold on bringing Catavolos back. Our DB's always seem to have trouble turning and locating the ball.

Chip Kelly is currently there, FYI.

I think the last sentence is the main idea that most people have with regards to today actually representing a change in how the Buffalo Bills operate and are viewed league-wide. If we end up with a top candidate everyone will be on board with what was announced today. If we hire a lower-tier candidate then most will view this as the same ol same ol.

Obviously, you are only perceived as "objective" as long as you agree with his opinions. Otherwise, you are stupid and a kool-aid drinker.

And you guys don't think that "Ken" sounded like an idiot? Wait, sorry for calling one of you names.

Good post. That's a very reasonable analysis.

You are right. I am just waiting to see what Buddy actually says. We will know nothing definitively until that point. It would just be odd for ESPN to report the switch and have them be wrong, albeit not their first time being wrong.

Buddy will address the switch to Whaley when he talks after Brandon.

Of course he's lying. Why would he want a successful football team?

I'll say it again, since you don't understand PTR. The Bills are only interested in selling tickets. They measure success in tickets/merchandise sold and not wins. Get with it!

Yes, but it works both ways.

Thank you.

I wish I made as much money as Brandon

Tarred and feathered? You do realize its a choice to be a Bills fan right? This is supposed to be a hobby, not life and death.

It has been reported that Whaley and Brandon are handling the hiring process and Nix is not.

Well we had a $150+ million dollar budget last offseason. Sure seems to me that the budget must have been pretty high, and there's no logical reason to assume that's going to change now.

Don't you get it? This is clearly only a move to sell more tickets. No one at OBD is interested in winning.
