Miller will make plays immediately. Can't lose if you end up with Miller or Dareus.
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!

Parcells' residue is always at the forefront of my thoughts.
Awesome

FAIL.
The red helmets - a vain hope that Fergie would stop throwing picks if he could tell which guys were on our team.
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.

Hey what's wrong with my jerseys?
hahaha, whoops!
-
Do you mean Whitner??? I saw it.
That's my avatar
I did choose a shot where numbers/nameplates weren't involved, for what it's worth. -
LOVE the blue pants
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 from a guy whose posted 65 times in 7 years.....Use your imagination, what would this have meant to our team? Do you think we would have one at least 1 Super Bowl.
This matters because...?
-
AHHHH nevermind i've explained myself 4 times.. We can just leave it as I think Gabbert blows i'd take everybody else over him... And you'd take Gabbert..
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 want the Bills to have a leader not a sufer bum...
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.
-
I assume you're referring to the Philly Phanatic?
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

This thread is like something out of FOX News, where the "reporters" take a fairly uncontroversial remark out of a much larger conversation that states the exact opposite then make that innocuous remark the entire point. Please, go and watch the entire interview with Nix and Modrak. Please. Yes, it was said that #3 was an ideal place to pick a QB. But it was clear that they weren't at all convinced that there was a QB in this draft worthy of that pick. And they made it as clear as could be that it was much more important to stop the run(Nix, I believe it was, went so far as to say that even a pass rusher was secondary to a run stuffer).
+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.
-
Merriman was asked about Von Miller and he said "we don't need him." I wouldn't be surprised that conditional on him re-signing with the Bills, they agreed not to take a LB high.
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)
-
I agree, Nickel City.
I like the general concept but unfortunately the producers have decided to water it down and make it of more interest to the casual fan and lesser interest to the serious, hardcore football fan.
edit: And I've had just about my fill of Gruden's schtick. I'm ready for him to get back into coaching.
The short clip I just saw of his session with Gabbert was brutal...Too much trying to get a laugh and showing Peyton Manning coming away from center a million times...OK we get the point Coach...In that clip he barely gave Gabbert a chance to speak...It was pretty lame to be honest...And I like Gruden...
Thank God! I thought I was the only one that gets the flu when watching Gruden. The guy acts like a major jacka$$ on that show. I think he's overated as a coach also. Tony Dungy got TB in the super bowl and won.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.
-
Mallett may sound slow, but when I heard him talk about football with Gruden, I saw a QB. He loved to talk football and seemed enthusiastic. Definately plus.
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.
-
The good teams that compete for championships for a decade have a monopoly on the elite quarterbacks. This is not rocket surgery. Take a chance, rather than rebuild to 7-9. The goal is to win a championship, right? The way most of you talk, you'd assume our goal is just to not embarrass ourselves.
THAT is embarrassing.
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...

Taking Green would be so rough. Stevie, Lee, Roscoe, Jones, Nelson, Easley etc. Oh well. Thursday can't come soon enough.
