First video popped up. EJ's press conference: http://www.buffalobills.com/media-center/videos/EJ-Manuel-Press-Conference/05b3abb1-5c71-4e68-84b1-f9d8497e185c

This is incredible. I agree with a previous poster - thread of the year candidate. Only two pages in but it's just perfect. EDIT: f5. Ground up in the freezer. Now it's perfect.

I like Kevin but he has a long way to go. Hope he plays well enough to get consideration for the draft, though. Maybe we can finally end the SEC's stranglehold on the championship.

I came within one horse of winning ~$2450 on a $1 bet (trifecta). Shucks.

Yep. I have the highest expectations for Alonso this season. I've said it but I'll say it again, I believe he will be a phenomenal player. Everyone's gotta take a stance sometime. Watching clips of EJ meshing with the receivers should be fun. Thanks for the info DrDareustein.

Ditto everything said above by sjbf. I honestly think Kiko will be a star.

I'd like to answer: "Both"

There are so many issues with poorly-worded, voluntary, internet-based surveys that they're essentially useless.

I hate to be that guy, but I don't wear jerseys. I certainly like many of our players, but wearing one of their jerseys? I don't know, just not for me. Simple Bills t-shirt with the charging buffalo.

+1

My God ESPN is just terrible.

I'm not worried about Kiko at all. I think everyone will come around when they start seeing him interviewed more frequently, and get past his "unique" speech patterns. More often then not, he's genuinely excited about the game, and it's clear he just loves to play.

I don't think they should build it but I actually like the hanger idea. Way cooler than that octagon thing.

Buffalobills.com is also weird for me when it comes to watching videos. I have to open Firefox or Chrome (instead of Safari) to be able to view the videos. I have flash and all that, so I'm not sure what's going on. I'm glad to know it's not just me though.

Seriously. Nicely done.

I don't know why anyone would want their favorite team on hard knocks. Keep the camera crews away in my opinion. Ooh I forgot it's not far off where we can blame/ignore the "vanilla"!

Manuel’s numbers tell story Posted by Chris Brown on April 30, 2013 – 12:47 pm While the world of draftniks panned the Bills pick of EJ Manuel as being far too early, Bills GM Buddy Nix and his scouting staff had all the proof they need, and if outside observers didn’t have the time to do all the travel, interviewing, tape watching, research and background checks then all you need to do is look at the numbers. ESPN.com put together a comprehensive set of figures related to Manuel’s play and checked how it compared to the rest of the quarterbacks in the draft class. Here are just a couple of examples that should get Bills fans excited. He can throw the football vertically down the field Manuel improved his completion percentage on passes of 20 yards or longer in his junior and senior seasons. In 2012, Manuel completed 49.2 percent of his passes of 20 yards or longer, the highest completion percentage of any of Scouts Inc.’s top six quarterback prospects. He can get himself out of trouble In 2012, Manuel completed 55.8 percent of his passes when under duress, a higher completion percentage than Geno Smith (49.3), Matt Barkley (49.3) and Landry Jones (37.1). These are two big areas where the quarterback play had been lacking, plays under pressure and deep throws. Add in that Manuel’s completion percentage actually went up last year when he threw from outside the pocket (66.8 to 70%) and add in his 81% figure for passes on target and you can see why the Bills saw him as the best quarterback in the draft.

+1, this was much easier to read! I also think a CB and ILB depth need to be added, and I would like a Guard as well. I know Marrone's an OLine coach, but simply subtracting Levitre does not inspire confidence, to me at least.

I think he seems like a nice guy. It's clear that he just loves to play football. And when the cops told him what he had done (broken into and slept in the neighbors house) he said "Oh, #@$&".

I've watched Tuel, so I'm not relying on a scouting report. The PAC12 is not weak. Have you seriously considered the downsides of bringing Tim Tebow onto the Bills? I guess that same chronic losing makes some fans snide.

Yes. Absolutely.

Wildcard.

Nope, I think they're referencing the collar (the huge white band that is totally out of place) as seen on Vince Young (above).

Kiko doesn't feel pressure.
