Um.
I don't think it's needed. These kids are coddled enough. It's not up to the NFL to make a man of them. If you want to see the NFL do the right thing, they take these idiots and punks and keep them out of the league. Make it a requirement to finish your Junior Academic year, maybe even with a GPA over 2.4.
These folks go through High School successfully where they should have learned a thing or two. They attend at least two years of college - most of them at quite distinguished schools (The Ohio State Univ., Auburn, Virginia Tech, UCLA, Penn State, Michigan, Florida, etc).
There is nothing that the NFL owes the players that it is not already giving them. In fact, I think it is giving them too much, but that is neither here nor there to your premise.
If you still do not agree: Why do other college graduates find success in their respective fields and lives while in debt and making significantly less then an NFL players minimum salary.
Because of one of my favorite saying "unlike these NFL players, other college grads know the value of a dollar"
Which is pretty much the problem. If these guys are bankrupt 2 years out of the league then sucks to be them. If they don't know how to be responsible with the money when they have it they deserve to be bankrupt and foreclosed on.

That's some fast footwork!
Do they make that drill for eyes?

Symbiosis is my opinion

Forward lateral
1/8/2000 disagrees with you.

He's been remarkably quiet as of late... Maybe there was a miscounted poll...
Only if the vote counter lives in Florida.

Unfortunately, the OL won't be throwing the ball to the pass catchers...
EJ's progression is a huge part of how this team will fair, the OL is also a large piece...
The bills added this play to their playbook so it could happen.
-
Other than the first game, he needs to play at least a quarter. I can see less for the last game if he looks ready.

I had a math teacher in college that spent a 2 hour lecture explaining how 2+2=trumpet
Seriously

I'm still waiting for "Did this team just get better with the injury to Kiko???"
Good stuff people.
If the team looks good, I'm sure they will start.

Wasn't keeping regier around 2.5 years too long valid to point out the "downfall" of the sabres under pegula?
Very relevant imo because he may be in a similar situation with the bills if he is selected as the winning bidder.
I think it also shows an owner who learned a lesson and adapted/changed course which is a good sign imo
He gave Regier a chance to continue what he had already started and it failed. Kind of like the saying, give someone enough rope to hang themselves with.
Ruff got a raw deal because of regier but don't think he would have lasted anyways.
-
Funny, it reads like a Regier thread.
Just be happy it won't turn into a jauron thread

And about the only mention of Buffalo he complains about the weather
I don't understand how people can complain about having all four season's in one day. It's called keeping you on your toes.
-
nope. nice try.
Winner!
-
Is this still a Bills thread? Go Bills.
It's a pegula thread.
-
Breaking news! Marcell Darius has been benched for the first two games by coach Marrone for using ranch dressing with his buffalo wings.
-
Alan Branch came in on a 1yr deal last year, performed on the field, and was rewarded with a multi-year deal before the season was over.
Whaley gets it done. This aint your daddy's front office.
I know what you're saying but branch is not the same as what spikes is/could be. Branch is a backup, unless someone is hurt. Comparing him to a starter doesn't hold the same weight.

More Billionaires in the mix, per John Kryk
That article hints at nothing. "There are other billionaire's out there". No ****. He makes it seem like he has knowledge of someone bidding but doesn't back it up. End of story. Lots of hits from the Buffalo market.

Stripper pole?
I voted ski for polski

I'm torn on Pegula being the new owner of the Bills, and it certainly looks like he will be the man going forward. On one hand its the best thing that can happen because he will 100% keep the team in Buffalo, and on a personal level we all love the guy.
On the other hand, and looking at whats happened with the Sabres since he took over it gives pause for concern. Daniel Snyder in the AFC East? I just want to see the Bills winning the division again year after year, and want an owner like Robert Kraft or Pat Bowlen who will hire a top HC / GM, and let them do their jobs.
Pegula's downfall with the sabres was more of regiers doing than pegula. Looking at what Murray is doing now with a team every free agent knows if in full tank mode it's amazing the players we brought in.

Jackson is the face of the franchise until he leaves or Manuel takes it from him. FredEx Plays with more heart, more guts, and more of a blue collar mentality than anyone else on the roster. The man is a warrior through and through, just like the region.
I agree. Problem is qb's are normally the face of the franchise by default. Kinda like the lead singer in the band vs the drummer which is likely why he stated EJ as second.

I decided a null vote is the best choice.

you can't fix stupid but... .09?1? It may be over the legal limit but it's hardly intoxicated. 20,000 cars pour out every stadium every game day higher than .09. Heck, I am .09 after my first cup of coffee every morning.
And suspensions for weed is ridiculous while nothing in place to even test HGH. As long as the illegal drugs make the players bigger and faster let's look the other way. But recreational marijuana costs four games and then a year?
Again, you can't fix stupid but stupid starts at the top with Roger, the owners and the NFLPA.
I agree with everything you said. Problem is, I could potentially see 10 players on any given roster testing positive for HGH. And like you said, the league doesn't want that. Which is likely the reason they won't test for it.

Guess I misunderstood your comment; sounded like you were worried if he had a good year, the Bills would have to pay him accordingly. If that is not what you meant, my bad.
I would be very happy if the Bills had to pay him after this year, because it would indicate, he played well.
I worry if the Bills WILL pay him accordingly was what I meant. I hope he has a good year and gets a long term deal. Having someone like him in the middle would be great for the foreseeable future.

Interesting! like a baffled waterbed. could help a player stay warm or cool to.
I'm curious how they are going to counteract environmental variables. These gel bags probably have varying refill times due to change in temperature and viscosity.
I would like to see a rehabilitation/maturity program put into place

We have it for posters. But they're more like guidelines instead of rules. Though I think the minimum post limit should be enforce for thread creation.
