  1. Add Fred and CJ and if Orton does what it appears he can do our O production could explode. Lots of excitement on the way.
  2. Agree. Woods is a very good slot/#2. Watkins has an option on greatness. Different order of magnitude.
  3. He's very accurate with good zip on short/intermediate throws up to 25 yards from the LOS. Not afraid to throw over the middle. Bear in mind that for sure he had to be a little rusty coming off the bench like that so he could be even sharper as the starter. We could be seeing a lot of very exciting YAC this year. Should be very interesting. And yeah, I've heard a lot on the boards about the statue in the pocket. That's nonsense. He moves well enuf and can throw on the run.
  4. No, not every fan. And if I watch/follow the Bills, it's certainly not because of Russ.
  5. If true, not a winning strategy. The fallback position is a proven loser. But then of course Russ is a marketer, and some segment of the fan base need to be told what to think. They have never gotten the all important position right. Except maybe for Orten, in which case they lucked out.
  6. It was a tough decision mostly on a human, not on a football basis. It had to be done. It nevertheless took courage and it was assuredly an unpleasant, though necessary, thing to do. And apparently there may well have been some disagreement on the matter as between Marrone and the FO. Getting Kolb so that EJ can learn was not the problem. Drafting him at all, certainly where they did, was the problem. If a vet was going to play in 2013 anyway the thing to do is wait until 2014 to get your guy. I don't know about you but I would rather have another one of the good young wideouts from last years draft, Teddy Bridgewater, and still have my 2015 first rounder than have EJ and Sammy and no first rounder. The Bills don't know QBs They just don't. Whaley gets a big FAIL on that issue.
  7. Nope. As far as the whole EJ saga is concerned Whaley and probably Brandon (who presumably signed off on Sammy) look bad. They look very bad. And of course it's not just EJ. It's the whole QB disaster. Their ability to assess talent at this position has been 100% amateurish.
  8. Good article. All true. All of what has happened certainly gives me some insight into who Doug Marrone is - and I like what I see. Now if he can just get that O-line to start gelling.
  9. Maybe, but it is also true that most if not all good QBs have that FU attitude. Nobody is going to be challenging his authority on this young team. He just needs to get along with Fred. He's the boss and it's now up to him to prove he's the next Rich Gannon. Go Thoatbeard!
  10. I hear you but on the Pats message board you hear a lot about them really missing Spikes.
  11. See my correction. Last reference should have been Rodgers.
  12. Actually age wise Orton should be entering the prime of his career. He's younger than Ben, Philip Rivers, a lot younger than Eli and only a year older than Eli. Maybe this will be his opportunity to prove he is legit as a genuine starting QB in this league. There is a chance his career will blossom in Buffalo. Certainly the table is pretty much set, so this is a golden opportunity for him. Everyone knows he is capable of playing well. The question is can he do it consistently throughout an entire season (and playoffs of course). Time will tell. Correction: that should be only a year older than Aaron Rodgers.
  13. True this. Kyle Orton will become a big fan favorite in Buffalo.
  14. Who'se afraid of donkey kong suh. Certainly not Kyle Orton.
  15. Brady is old and he is starting to look his age. He is also going to take a physical beating this year. Old men don't absorb physical punishment all that well. If the Pats season starts to turn really sour-which is possible-expect to see JG under centre before the year is out.
  16. Chris Williams said the same thing weeks ago. At least he knows talent when he sees it. Maybe he should be in the FO instead of on the roster.
  17. Orton to Mike Williams will seal the deal. Bank on it. Bills 28 Lions 17
  18. My impression was that the majority thought it was a bad/wrong football decision. But the talking heads are usually somewhat behind the times for some reason. They probably all picked the Pats last night.
  19. I'd rather take my chances with the rook. I think Fauria might have had a good day next Sunday. BTW just can't stand the fact that other teams (Lions, Giants, Tampa Bay) seem to find good TE undrafted or late round selections. Wish we could do that.
  20. I'd rather have Benjamin, Bridgewater and 2015 first than Watkins. And I think Sammy will be a great player.
  21. It's all just retrospective analysis but they would have been better off waiting a year and bridging with a vet, as they had already planned to do anyway with Kolb.
  22. Plenty of good wideouts in last years draft. And a good looking QB prospect went at the tail end of the first.
  23. I confess I don't know what to make of Whaley. To me he is one of these people who are quite capable of being at the same time very good and very bad.
