Those are RIDICULOUS! Everyone knows that the Bills should bring in THIS guy if they need arms: I guess they'd have absolutely no interest in ol' Venus de Milo but, then again, this is the Bills we're talking about:

- "2013 Buffalo Bills Football: The Irrelevant In The Room" - "2013 Buffalo Bills Football: SSDY" - "2013 Buffalo Bills Football: Hey...at least the tailgating is good" - "2013 Buffalo Bills Football: We won't throw Fitz when we lose" - "2013 Buffalo Bills Football: 2014 is only a season away"

Haha! Gotcha.

A) Long term deal coming for his backfield mate Byrd? B) Going to be traded for a 7th so Buddy can have his full complement of draft picks...and draft a cheaper DB. Nope. Like the red, love the white. Wouldn't that put snail tracks on his face?

Amen (pun intended). I don't get the irrational love for Tebow. He's far from good. He'll be on his 3rd team in the fourth year of his career. That doesn't happen to great QBs...or even good ones for that matter. In fact, it's pathetic. He's nothing more than a media and circus side show. Nice guy, lame QB. Those with a man-crush on him want him to be more than he is but they can't see the forest for the trees.

Make the right decision...insist on Carubba Collusion. Oh, wait...never mind.

I hate to break it to you but your memory is failing...Gary Marangi was Fergy's backup in the mid-'70s, not the late '60s. The 2013 Bills have talent on the roster. The '84-'85 Bills were almost completely devoid of talent save for RB Greg Bell ('84) and Andre Reed & Bruce Smith (both arriving in '85). The franchise started turning the corner in '86 with the arrival of Bill Polian, Marv Levy, & Jim Kelly. Is there a parallel between that team and the 2013 team? By all accounts, Doug Whaley will be taking over for Buddy Nix and there's a new sheriff in town in the form of Doug Marrone. Can they get their franchise-type QB like Polian & Levy? Time will tell. (Yes, I know Kelly was drafted in '83 [pre-Polian] but Polian finally got him to Buffalo)

FWIW...an article on nfl.com: "So what next for the defensive end? We see five potential landing spots..." Bills, Dolphins, & Pats* named. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000151273/article/elvis-dumervil-five-potential-nfl-landing-spots

I doubt they'd have his man boobs in Canton...

I agree wholeheartedly on all points, Bob. Like it or not, most QBs go higher in real life than they should or do in mocks.

I like Manuel and, generally speaking, I like Mayock. But for those ready to anoint him for sainthood, consider his pre-draft opinions on Cam Newton & Andrew Luck. He's far from infallible and I don't trust his assessment of QBs. Comparing Luck to Bradford?? Bradford couldn't carry Luck's jock. On Newton: “Something tells me that he’ll be content to be a multimillionaire who’s pretty good,” Mayock said. ”And doesn’t get it done for me.” While admitting Newton has handled the pre-draft process well, it’s telling that a final evaluation of Newton (and others) often comes down to a gut feeling, even for the best draft analysts and decision makers. And Mayock just isn’t feeling Newton. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2011/04/25/mayock-on-cam-newton-i-dont-know-how-great-he-wants-to-be/ On Luck: Mayock just doesn’t see Luck as some sort of “once in a lifetime” prospect like others have indicated. (Yes, others means ESPN in this case.) Mayock compared Luck’s talent level more to someone like Sam Bradford. http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2012/02/15/mayock-luck-is-great-but-not-a-once-in-a-lifetime/

Agreed. Indeed.

One man's trash is another man's treasure...

No, thanks. There are teams drafting behind the Bills who genuinely need a left tackle. I'd rather see if the Bills could entice one of them to trade up rather than take Johnson there.

This seems like the logical choice then... Useless and irrelevant for years, just like the team... The team's play has already turned the majority of its fan base toxic... This would be in keeping with the team's need for a massive roster rebuild... Ralph is cheap... An added bonus is that the team would, literally, play to "glowing" reviews...

Agreed. I said when it looked like they'd lose Levitre that I wanted them to sign the Brandons...Moore (OG) & Myers (TE).

If the Bills could find a trade partner, I'd like to see them move down. Maybe if the Rams can't land Jake Long, they'd be willing to come up to 8 for one of the o-linemen. I'm not sure what the draft chart says but maybe their 16 & 2nd rounder...or the 23 & 25 from the Vikes with maybe another lower pick from the Bills going their way.

] The Brandon brothers: OG Moore & TE Myers.

I thought this thread was about Tank Carder. Then I realized that it was even dumber than a thread about Tank Carder...

I'm glad that the Ryan Fitzpatrick "era" is over. That said, as with everyone else who has donned a Bills uni, I say thanks for your service to the team and good luck in your future endeavors.

Seriously?? Link please. Yeah, I thought so. Congrats on officially becoming a TBD pariah and total asshat.

The Steelers don't overpay for their own aging vets, let alone someone else's. It's not their style. They have some good young receivers in Brown & Sanders and would go younger and cheaper than Welker for Wallace's replacement, IMO. In the end, I could see Welker re-signing with NE* when seeing that the money won't be much less than what he's offered elsewhere.
