Yeah that's right businesses that make hundreds of millions and are worth over a billion only need one ninety year old confined to a wheelchair to run it. Ralph could have sent any of us to handle lease negotiations for him. So your position is that Ralph was smart enough to handle this whole lease thing, but an idiot for turning full control over to Brandon a year later.? I mean after all Brandon is really nothing more than a waiter deserving of nothing more than a tip, and at 15% a bad tip at that.

Leg work means going to the endless meetings required to get anything done with local governments. So you think Ralph, in his nineties, the same Ralph Wilson who in his HOF speech said he was appalled to see all the people in wheelchairs at the parade (he meant amazed), you think he handled 85% of this? The Ralph Wilson that was unable to travel, that Ralph Wison?

None of us know who or how involved anyone was in the lease deal. Ralph would have had to sign off on it. Probably was Ralph's idea, but he didn't do the leg work or negotiating. The Pegula ownership is hindsight, was not a forgone conclusion.

I think that Brandon's efforts to regionalize the team were smart, the Toronto experiment not withstanding. It didn't work, but I understood it. Moving training camp to Rochester was a good idea. The combined market of Buffalo and Rochester makes the Bills market a mid sized one rather than a small one. However Brandon's largest contribution, to what ever degreehe participated, was the stadium lease. It eliminated most potential suitors that wanted to move the franchise. This far over shadows anything else.

Lamonica made his team a contender, while the Bills got a one way ticket to Pegulaville.

Ok so now I don't have to check this thread every ten minutes.

And apparently still screwed because of Rex. It seems to me that they have now done everything to help Manuel become successful, by adding both coaches and players.

The most important aspect of this may be that Jeff Littman is no longer with the Bills.

Isn't this just repeating what was written by others? These are not his own observations.

I forgot about Williams, can he even play?

Can Mathis play center, even as a backup? Right now the depth at guard and center is Urbik. Can Miller or Incognito play center?

Thanks, I was kind of hoping it was this board and all of us.

I can't listen right now, what's he impressed with?

How is this seven pages long?

Probably about the same as living in PA.

I think that these guys recognize what a mess the 49ers are, and don't want to take a beating for a team going nowhere.

I've stood next to Tarkington on more than one occasion (at a bar) he seems taller than six foot.

Nothing else to do.

Like I said in another thread, the team is better off if the starter is either Taylor or Manuel and whichever it is has succes. Nothing against Cassel, but if he starts that means back to square one next off season.

Yes it would be great if Kujo works out. It would also be a big indictment of last years coaching staff.

Before I opened this thread I was thinking the same thing. The worst thing that could happen is Cassel winning the job. Not because Cassel sucks, but because it means one of these young QBs is not the answer.

Yup completely read that wrong.

EJ Manuel should be on that worst list. EJ Manuel should be on every worst list. Imo But seriously folks I like our CB situation.

No lost to Atlanta

Exactly what I was thinking. When has this ever worked effectively in the long run.
