Who is on your All-Time Buffalo Bills Mt. SHUSHmore?
skibum replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Greg Bell OJ Mike Williams EJ Manuel to represent all the mediocre QBs. Add Scott Norwood if you want to attract more tourists to your monument, but he doesn't deserve that, so I say 'don't'. -
I suspect Josh doesn't care about making as much as those other guys - He already has more money than he knows what to do with, and I believe he would rather surround himself with a good roster so he can win. The problem is going to be the NFLPA. Whenever Josh does get a new contract, it will have to be enormous. The union frowns on hometown discounts - it sets the market lower for the guys who just want their bag. Hopefully, it can be structured in a team-friendly way.

Brandon Beane’s Tenure by Letter Grade—Poll is Up!
skibum replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
You can't ask for much better than Beane. He has made every kind of maneuver possible to make the Bills a contender, which they have been consistently for a good stretch of years. There is nothing he won't do - Sign a big free agent, make a huge trade, pull the trigger on a salary dump, trade up or down in the draft, whatever it takes. I also think that on balance, hindsight is pretty kind to Beane, relative to other GMs. Of course, not every move plays out the way it was intended. Not every draft pick hits. But Beane has had relatively good outcomes all around. -
Bust this: Sammy Watkins has more Super Bowl rings than Stefon Diggs, Andre Reed, and Eric Moulds combined. And probably more money than at least the latter two.

Is James Cook a Top-Five All Time Bills Running Back?
skibum replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall
If he keeps it up, and sticks around longer than Henry/Lynch/Fred/McCoy, sure. Now, he's not even close to top 5. -
Allen Dawkins Knox Shakir for the young guy spot Miller Milano T. Johnson Oliver/Bernard/D. Jones/Rasul/Morris - Any of these guys would be legit.

Which battle in camp are you watching the closest?
skibum replied to BuffaloBillyG's topic in The Stadium Wall
Hard not to put WR at the top, but this being more of a 'transition' year will feature a lot of great position battles in pretty much every group. -
Post Your All-Star Bills Roster…of Backups?
skibum replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Reich and Kenneth Davis are the top two for sure. A lot of guys were backups for several years, but then became starters for several more. Not a lot of guys have long careers as a backup - they either start some day or get replaced by someone management thinks is better. Not sure all are eligible: Pete Metzelaars was maybe 50/50 backup/starter. AVP is your backup backup QB. Don Beebe, legend. Marcellus Wiley was a backup during most of his time as a Bill, no? Josh Reed Roscoe Parrish Mario Haggan -
I'm thinking either Les or Primus.

I was born this way.

With that kind of athleticism, he could become an elite gunner on ST. Maybe he replaces Siran Neal, also an incredible athlete with little chance to crack the defensive rotation.

Bill Walton was an American treasure. NBA games were infinitely more entertaining when he was on the microphone - His wit and wisdom, his depth of character, his infectious spirit - There is, was, and never will be anyone like him in broadcasting. I was just a little too young to have watched him play, but I know his game was at times transcendent. Thank you, Bill, for all the great basketball memories. You will be missed. Throw it DOWN, Big Man!

A lot of proven vets don't got to OTAs. It's pretty much an unwritten privilege for the higher-mileage guys if they want to skip out, especially the guys who prove they can do it year after year. I'd say Diggs has earned the right to skip, and there's nothing to see here.

What NFL rules changes would you like to see?
skibum replied to NoHuddleKelly12's topic in The Stadium Wall
Games would take nine hours. I would much rather they did away with challenges altogether, and just let bad calls become part of the game again. -
I would have been happy if they had taken him in round 1 last year. That he fell as far as he did was a minor miracle.

If Tua stays, the Dolphins can still be a decent team. He manages to keep them in the hunt, even if he can't beat the Bills without 130 degree temperatures on the Buffalo sideline. He's not a bad quarterback on the whole, though he does carry major concussion concerns in his luggage. If Tua goes, the Fins flat-out stink for a while. Even if they have already start planning for their future QB, they have nothing in the cupboard and probably not a high draft pick next year. Ah, Schadenfreude.

I don't like what he said, but I do like freedom of speech. Not only is it a great privilege, it can also reveal who the morons are out there.
