Who is Cambell?

Why is it that anytime Mathews is mentioned so is his pedigree and Carr not so much? Wouldn't it be great if the Texans took Carr.

As far as his football career is concerned. He started for the Colts in Super Bowl III for an injured Unitas, ended up being pulled for an injured Unitas. The game is significant in that it was the AFL's first defeat of an NFL team. It was instrumental in the merger. He also QBd the Dolphins for the vast majority of the undefeated season.

I'm getting choked up reading these recollections, I feel like we should have a group hug or something. So Chandler your story of Bills fandom and mine are pretty close. The 1963 season is really the first I recall, don't think I went to a game until 64. Went to more games at the Old Rock Pile than The Ralph (geographic reasons). Went to a few good ones at The Ralph, Monday night 1974 vs Raiders and 1980 defeat of the Dolphins. Remember that Sunday 1963 after Kennedy assassination saw Ruby shoot Oswald live, it was surreal. My wife was in the Ed Sullivan theater the night the Beatles played. She neglected to tell me that for the first 35 years of our marriage. I could have gotten a lot of mileage out of that story. There was a Deli around the corner from my parents house. Owners names were Frank and Vera. Went in there with my Dad the night of Liston vs Clay. My father asked Frank who he thought would win the fight, Frank replied "Vera, she usually does". I've driven, on more than one occasion, hundreds of miles to watch a Bills game.

Was St. Joe's still running the single wing? I got to know Jerry Philbin years after his career ended. I think he played DE at about 220lbs..

Funny, I just mentioned his name the other day. I was having a discussion with my brother and nephew about how the Bills should bring in a solid vet QB to back up and mentor EJ, "you know an Earl Morrall type guy". Quintessential backup QB. He should be put in the HOF for the role he played. Condolences to his family.

Wel, after reading the transcript I know this, the Bills are going to draft somebody. Seriously though I think the most interesting part was about Tackles. They really don't see much difference between LT and RT as far as importance and draft position. I don't think that is subterfuge. If Watkins and Mack are gone, which is likely, and Mathews falls, you take him. If Mathews and Manzel are there my guess would be Mathews. If Watkins, Mack , Mathews are gone and Manziel falls, that strikes me as a trade situation. For the past couple of years, at this point, I had a pretty good idea who I thought they would take. This year I have no idea.

It's two QBs, Manziel at 26, but I'm not buying it either. If two QBs, three OTs, Clowney, and Watkins go in the first seven, then either Evans or Mack falls to the Bills.

Did he really do that? That's funny.

If 3 OTs and 2 QBs go in the first 8 I believe Mack falls to nine.

You forgot Tuttle.

Two years is what is left on Glenn's contract. So if you move him he is gone in two years. If you draft Mathews and keep him at RT, he is gone in four years, maybe five.

From the players stand point it's not about any of that, it's about money.

So painfully accurate. May can't get here soon enough.

I agree, the Bills are all in with EJ, so why not bring in a player/coach as backup?

I knew that I had read that there was a reason that had nothing to do with football.

I pickup little mistakes in articles all the time but this one is unbelievable. It's not like its hard to do reaserch in this day and age.

God help me I do the same thing.

Adam Sandler is funny?

Good job

"Understanding Kiko", a play in three acts coming to the Helen Hayes Theater this fall!

I'd like to thank both you and Buftex, your posts have gone a long way in my quest to convince my wife I'm not crazy.

I'm baffled by this QB class. Before the 2013 college season the top three were Bridgewater, Boyd, and Manziel. Boyd is is now at best a mid rounder. Bridgewater was sure fire now in some mocks he's falling. I don't know if Manziel's game translates to the NFL, but I believe based on his ego the worst places for him would be Cleveland or Buffalo. Was Blake Bortles on anyone's radar ten months ago? When I read his scouting reports I feel like I could just substitute Manuel's name. Derek Carr? Every time Jake Mathews is mentioned so is his genealogy, what about Carr's? The rest of the guys, I'd take one in the fourth.

I read somewhere(can't remember where) that if there is a QB you want and your going to take him early the best place to take him is mid first. You won't over pay and you get fifth year option.
