The move to 3-4 hurts good players like Stroud, Schobel and Williams it may help Aaron Maybin who probably fits better as A 3-4 OLB than a 4-3 DE,- I guess I understand if it means the Bills are in a total rebuilding mode cause Stroud and Schobel are too old to be an asset if you are planning 3 years out- Williams probably has value as a pass rushing NT.

Actually I am not a Edwards lover, but he is just as good as Campbell, and sadly so far in their careers they have both sucked for the most part. I live down here in Virginia in Redskins Country and even the majority of Skins fans think he is terrible, we have had enough projects, and waited enough years for a QB to develop and he never does, would be more of the same with Campbell. They can keep him.
Campbell has been able to stay on the field which makes him better than Edwards.

People don't just gain 20pds of muscle in 6 weeks.
Did I say just- he must have been on a intensive exercise, diet, supplement regiment at the very least- was there chemical enhancement? you know innocent until proven guilty - and it might have been 8 or 10 weeks, whatever, a relatively short time in any case.
-
Jason Campbell has played 2, 16 game complete seasons which immediately puts him ahead of Edwards, has never thrown more INTs than TDs which puts him ahead of Fitz- and has exactly double Brohm's qb rating 86.4 vs 43.2, so unless you know about a franchise QB that Buffalo has stashed away you'd be a moron not to trade Whitner and a low level draft pick for him.
-
he gained 20 lbs in like 6 weeks so why would it be a surprise that he could lose 20-30lbs in 20 weeks
-
No offense to Sam Bradford but every highlight I see of him he had no DL closer than 5 yards and his WRs are open by 5-10 yards- that's not his fault but in the NFL he's going to have to make plays running for his life, with 6,5 300lbs DEs and DTs in his face and CBs covering his WRs like a blanket- maybe he can do that- but I'm not anointing him yet.
-
I think you are being a harsh on Campbell. He has no OL and has played well, especially this year. The biggest problem I see with him is that sometimes he takes to long in the pocket. The guy has a huge arm. Most of his interceptions happened while half the defense in his face.
+ physical tools, improved every year, durable, young
- seems to lack certain intangibles, leadership? , held onto the ball too long
get him- as a FA, for a player we don't want anyway (Parrish, Whitner), 5th or lower
if it cost more then pass.
-
4 pretty good NTs Casey, Wilford, Pickett, Aubrayo
DE Seymore maybe Green
OLB Peppers, Dansby
TE Watson
If we got Seymore, one of the NTs, and Watson I'd consider it a very good FA
-
Jason Campbell has the physical tools and he has improved every year- but he doesn't seem to be much of a leader, he seems to lack the spark, still better than anything on our roster and better than any QB we could draft this year at least for the next couple seasons- some of the people on this board crack me up, they are like a bum with a dime in his pocket who refuses to pick up a dollar on the ground cause he's are waiting for a ten to blow by.

I was a little disappointed that Brad Butler won't be back next year to hold down the right side of the line. I thought him and Eric Wood were going to make a good tandem on right side for a while. That being said, I think Demetrius Bell can be an effective RT at this point in his career. Here is how I see the Starting OL lining up next year:
LT (1st Round Pick...either Okung, Bulaga, Davis, Williams or Campbell)
LG Andy Levitre
C Geoff Hangartner
G Richie Incognito (until Wood is healthy enough to comeback)
RT Demetrius Bell (I would draft another T and/or bring in a proven FA to push for this job)
LT (1st Round Pick...either Okung, Bulaga, Davis, Williams or Campbell) compete against Bell
LG Andy Levitre
C Geoff Hangartner (until Wood is healthy enough to comeback)
G Richie Incognito
RT 2-3 round pick compete against Meredith and Scott
-
Lynch to SD, Cromartie to Arizona, Bolden to Buffalo
-
Lynch is a good RB and good RBs are worth nada only great RBs are worth anything- I liked the guy in college but the ability to make things happen in the passing game don't appear to be there at the pro level- That being said, what I'd like the Bills to do is to trade down from the 9 spot to the late teens and then use acquired picks to get back into the bottom of the first round, the players I'd target are Iupati G/RTand Charles Brown LT
-
All this for Aaron Maybin- who says Wilson has no influence in the NFL.
-
When they were anointing Trent Edwards and damning J.P. I said that Trent was every bit as flawed just in a totally different way.
-
Joe, you know nothing of me, and your assumption that making an honest observation about american society makes one a "liberal" is an expression of the extreme poverty of your views.
To be fair "making honest observations" disqualifies you as a conservative or at least what we call conservative today.

baseball has lovable losers- football has losers

right now I'd rate the OTs like this
tier 1. Okung (consensus #1)
tier 2. Bulaga (most ready to start, less upside?), Davis (best run blocker, weight problems?), Campbell (most athletic, least experienced)
tier 3. Charles Brown (moving up), Trent Williams( formally in tier 2, then downgrade but now seems to be moving up again), Iupati (if rated as a OT)
tier 4. Vladimir Ducasse (formerly a 2nd-3rd rounder now an end of 1st middle of 2nd guy)
OTs of interest - Jared Veldheer 6,8 325 425lbs power clean 4.9 40 small school low level competition.
Ciron Black- formerly rated as a top 25 player now downgraded to 3rd -4th round due to athletic concerns made 53 starts at OLT for LSU (just as I'm skeptical of a guy shooting up the boards I wonder about the guy who suddenly falls - football people seem to have a heard mentality)
-
There could be 7 OT's taken in the first round (some think that Iupati can play OT, even though he was a G at Boise St.):
Russell Okung
Brian Bulaga
Anthony Davis
Trent Williams
Bruce Campbell
Vladimir Ducasse
Mike Iupati
That's nearly a quarter of the first round. Clearly a strength of this draft and something the Bills need to take advantage of.
I'm all for taking Bradford or Clausen if either is available at #9. That would be my top priority. However if I was Buddy Nix my next move would be to go up with a 2 and a 3 (what they gave up to trade up for McCargo) and get an OT. In fact I would make that move even if one was already taken with the first pick. Davis scares me a bit with some maturity issues and Campbell with his lack of experience, but the Bills really need to come away with at least one on this list.
Let me take away Ducasse cause I think he goes 2nd-3rd round and add Charles Brown late 1st- as for me I'd get an OT with my first pick (Bulaga, Campbell, Davis) and maybe try to move up into the bottom of the 1st and grab (Iupati, Williams, Brown) so anyone who hates Olinemen early would hate me as GM LOL.
-
Even behind a good Oline QBs take a lot of punishment and have to be durable- I won't mind Trent as a backup he's a smart guy with adequate skills who could come in a manage a couple games.
-
if you are talking about WR/RB then Vick- if you are talking about TE/FB then Tebow- if you are talking about QB then neither.
-
He meant to say the Franchise tag would be like an elbow to the knee
That made me chuckle
-
is that pre-concussion Trent or post-concussion Trent
-
That actually sounds intriguing.
Thanks, of course who knows but Sean Nelson does remind me of Vincent Jackson from SD a little.
-
He makes some valid points. However, there are some issues he doesn't address, such as the literacy rate of the population which is likely very low, which just continues the vicious cycle of poverty, and the fact that bad things are bound to happen at some point in time no matter where you live in the world. I agree there need to be shown ho to rebuild things properly, but the bigger issue lies with the education of the population.
The literacy rate is around 5% which is why I have education down as the first thing they need after survival aid.
Marv - worst GM in history of NFL?

Levy wasn't good but even the Bills have had worse GMs if you go past Polian and Butler- Tom D sucked pretty bad, I mean in my history of following the Bills (1968- today) it's like Polian great, Butler good, and a bunch of guys who range from barely competent to totally sucking.
