As I said earlier, I've been watching complete games not highlights, it is a different perspective. If Ds were giving them that bubble screen they just keep doing it and not just to Watkins. I don't see why that is a bad thing. He catches everything with his hands away from his body. It is impressive how quickly he turns and gets up to speed after the catch. He has great vision. Couldn't really tell much about his blocking. Defenses had to account for him on every play, opened up things for other guys. With the running back position becoming less important, does anyone think that WRs with running back skills are becoming a trend?

I felt the same way watching that game. I've been watching other complete games on YouTube. So far none have been as impressive as the Orange Bowl, but Watkins very quietly seems to gain over 100 yards consistently.

Those who think this was a bad draft do so because they think the Bills should have used either this year or next years first round pick on a QB. Neither of those things were ever going to happen.

And then Simms had three season ending injuries and regressed to the point that he was benched in favor of Scott Brunner.

No, second, third and fourth. Your contention is that Manuel is injury prone, which by definition would mean more injuries in the future. Phil Simms had three major season ending injuries in four years. All three of those injuries were worse than the two, not three (first and third were the same injury) that Manuel suffered. I lived in NYC at that time, Simms was considered an injury prone bust.

My original response was to Pearl and his position (along with many others) that Manuel is injury prone. Simms was considered injury prone, therefore he is a good example. I'm not extolling Simms virtues, however the fact remains he has two Rings. There are a lot of great QBs without Super Bowl rings. There are a lot of ok QBs with rings. Super Bowl Rings are relivent because that is why they play the games. If you could trade the Bills entire 1990 team and staff for the Giants, which resulted in a Super Bowl win, would you do it? Or would you rather four Super Bowl loses with a HOF QB?

Yes that guy, the injury prone bust, that managed to get two Super Bowl rings and be named Super Bowl MVP.

You conveniently left out the part about the knee injury, the separated shoulder, the compound fracture of thumb on throwing hand and being benched in favor of Scott Brunner.

I've been watching Clemson's games on YouTube, so far I've seen Sammy attempt one pass. It wasn't pretty. Had a guy wide open in the end zone. Put so much air under the ball the DB had time to recover.

Obviously

Please Google Phil Simms. Then tell me if you would take his record.

Just perfect.

Is it still snowing up there?

Nice work Conan.

Good one

I'm pretty sure they have figured out who is playing QB. It would be last years first round pick EJ Manual. So now let's make this another thread about Manuel. I think unless things completely blow up, meaning they regress, this staff will get at least another year.

Kill joy

This is now my favorite post of all time.

Randell Johnson FAU not FIU

So did I. I was hoping it would turn into a Chad Rhiengold thing.

I agree, but I don't think there was anyone else willing to come to the Bills. I also think that vets understand bringing a guy along. What game did Kolb get hurt in? I know the mat incident was early in camp, but when did he get the concussion?

The answer is none. Last years plan stated to fall apart when Kolb got hurt and it was downhill from there. Even if Kolb hadn't been injured, last year was going to be a year of assessing things. There are people on this site and in the media, that even before last season labeled Manuel a bust. This group thinks its a bad trade because the pick will be needed for a QB. The Bills organization has decided they are going to see if Manuel is the guy and they are going to do everything to help him. The Bills thought enough of Manuel to take him in the first round. They are not going to give up on him after one season. Helping him is the smart thing to do.

Bill, we didn't need this draft to know you that you know nothing. Just kidding, I don't always agree but I enjoy your posts. What happens with QBs in the draft is always curious. The qualities that make a good QB are so complicated that it seems to make evaluation very difficult.

Thanks

What did the Bills get for 5th rounder to Tampa?
