I think this echoes many of our sentiments. Let's hope Carolina takes Newton. Thanks again NGU

My motivation for starting this poll goes like this: I categorize possible picks in these four categories (Thrilled with, Okay with, Rather not, and Disastrous) in my head, and was curious as to whether other TBD posters do the same. Due to technical constraints, I had to decrease the categories from four to three (Thrilled with, Ambivalent about, and Disastrous) - I hope this doesn't take away from the poll too much. Anyway, if other people don't really use mental categories, I imagine this thread will disappear pretty soon, so no worries there. If I have missed a poll that is way too similar, apologies, and please feel free to delete this mods. Go Bills!

Awesome

While I'm thrilled about our new uniforms, I don't think that the red helmets were "FAIL" For most of my life we have had red helmets, and I had no problem with them - only our horrible '02-'10 uniforms. That being said, when I see the new jerseys, they just feel like the Bills, if that makes sense. That classic style that our 'new' jerseys/helmets have just looks like what the Bills were meant to wear. The blue/white (and vice versa) jersey and pants look great. EDIT: I would have also been thrilled with a switch back to our 90s uniform.

hahaha, whoops!

That's my avatar I did choose a shot where numbers/nameplates weren't involved, for what it's worth.

Man those away jerseys look great, the blue pants are awesome - who would complain about them? Man, those look great. No more CFL style jerseys!

I have to say, I think we've found it. These were the jerseys that I was hoping for. Wow.

Von Miller Ben Iljana Curtis Brown

This matters because...?

Let's not presume that "[i'd] take Gabbert." You actually quoted me saying that I am not sure how I feel about the Bills drafting him. My question to wasn't meant as an attack on your opinions, nor was it in defense of Gabbert. Instead, I was just wondering where the "surfer" comments came from? I know you don't think he'll do well, and you'd prefer another player, but that's not what I was wondering. Call it curiosity.

I still don't know how I would react to the Bills drafting him, but how in the world are you coming up with "surfer bum?" He's from Missouri.

With the caveat that I may need to get my sarcasm meter checked out, I believe he is referring to Rocky?

I've actually surprised myself this year leading up to the draft. I really was against drafting Gabbert, vocally so, but recently have come to see him in a more positive light. Much of the shift has been through watching more film on him, in addition to his work with Terry Shae. Shae was the private coach for Bradford, Stafford, and Freeman. Granted, the Gruden show doesn't tell us much about any of the QBs, and annoys us with Gruden's horrible on-air performances, so I can't really comment on Gabbert's segment on the show.

This guy just moved up my draft board. Heyyooo

+1 How many of us actually watched the conference? After watching it, you would come away thinking that the Bills will not draft a quarterback. Like I said earlier, we can debate over whether this is: truth, smokescreen, or the strategic truthscreen.

It wasn't on the first page, but some decent discussion about the show: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/128965-grudens-qb-camp/

Did anyone watch that conference yesterday? I did, and I got the distinct impression that we will not be drafting a QB with our first pick. I know there are a few soundbites about QBs, but keep in mind they were being asked questions about QBs. Truth? Smokescreen? Truthscreen? 8 more days?

I can also see them trying Batten inside...though of course we don't know what we'll get from him. Moats is strictly an outside backer.

I had to chuckle when I pictured that scenario taking place. I'm excited to see more playing time from Moats, Batten (for the first time), and Miller (if we draft him)

Phew. I really was worried I was the only one who couldn't handle that show. P.S. I went back and watched the end of the Mallett segment (you know, the part where Mallett speaks). He really was impressive when discussing plays. Very enthusiastic and what appears to be an honest love of the game.

I was down on mallett too until I saw him discuss X's and O's. I wouldn't mind if we picked him up in the 2nd. His ceiling is crazy high.

I just had to reply to this, because I love the ring that "rocket surgery" has to it.

I'd really love to watch the show, but I honestly can't stomach Gruden. I made it about 30 seconds into Mallet's interview before I had to close it. Gruden is just awful...ugh (oddly, i liked him as a coach). I'll have to try watching again though, because I am surprised to hear that Mallet redeemed himself when discussing x's and o's...

I was thinking that we might do something new to our logo. While we know we'll still have the charging buffalo, I wonder if they made it more aggressive (a la cardinals/lions). The logo is basically the same, with a few updates. While this wouldn't inherently be a bad thing, I have my doubts as to how well the Bills would carry out such an update, and hope/expect that the logo remains unchanged. EDIT: I'm also not reading into a website modification.
