Although i say i agree entirely with the first part of your post I have a difference in the second part , not so much a difference but a lack of proof in what i have & have not seen . Nassib i'm not real sure of , although he won his bowl game which i didn't see i saw some youtube stuff that didn't impress me much, On the other hand though i did see Taj Boyd & think he would be a perfect fit here in the Queen city !!

Last time we jumped pretty quick that's why i tend to side with this poster . Last time too they only did a hand full of interviews & left some possibles on the table . This time let's see all we can before we jump . I will say that if a guy like a Chip Kelly comes along & shows any interest than GET ER DONE ASAP because guys like him don't come along every day , but as i read in another article all of the other coaches will lack the same thing if hired a good NFL QB .. So continue looking Bills & bring us the BEST winner available !!!

As long as the new coach uses them & doesn't keep them inactive all season hey i'm for it , but if they get these players & they sit what's the sense ??? Seeing as there are no clear cut #1's at QB this year i say blow the bank on Teo !! That would be a great start !!!

All of us know we are in the midst of looking for a HC, but while all of this has been going on i have been Schek to the Future with the process. If any of you go to NFL.com hen you will recognize the reference in the previous sentence to a skit that they do there by Dave Damaschek & i was going to put my own twist to it . If the Bills could pull of another miracle signing like i thought they did with Mario this year & get Kelly to come to B/Lo would this be considered the second coming of the K Gun offense ? I think it might . Think of the similarities the main difference that (here's the twist) Kelly this time would be on the sideline instead of at QB. The uptempo no huddle style offense back in B/Lo would that be a Schek to the future or what . I have had dreams of seeing defenses on the field huffing & puffing while the Bills once again ride their high powered no huddle offense down the field once again sending fear though out the league of having to come up against it 20 yrs later. man would that be awesome or what ? I thought we never had a chance to bring Mario in, which i now think we have no chance with C.Kelly but just imagine if you will the media & the pictures of Chip & Jim on the cover of SI or ESPN & Boomer would have a major melt down & would probably retire if he could once again have SF 49er's & the Bills going to the SB . But this time we win . Go Bills !! WOW Wouldn't a second coming of the K gun be great ... Well i can dream can't i ???

Marc Trestman !!

What i was meaning in my post was that of all the QB's listed this year with a good QB coach & staff, add in Boyds intangibles or what ever you call it given what we all saw he would be a better prospect for the Bills b/c of what i listed in my post. Sure he's not a Andrew Luck or RG3 but we could draft a whole lot worse !! Given what is out there !!

Yes Freddy is a great team guy proven by his comments that he wants to stay even if it means being a back up & a leader that leaves it all on the field every play ! Now when you get to Fitz he definitely needs to restructure his contract if he wants to stay around. His contract was a front office mistake from the get go ! They should have at least waited till the end of the season to do him as 20/ 20 vision looking back has proved ! But Freddy is a keeper worth the $ !!

Every year if you listen to the EXPERTS they give their take on the best that are coming out in the next draft class & in a lot of what they say i wonder how you can be this supposed EXPERT on football & see what they see. Last year they all said Wilson was not a "PROTOTYPICAL NFL QB" which i get it . He's not 6' 4" & 240 to that i say SO WHAT ! They said he would never be an elite QB which if i remember correctly there is a post somewhere on this site stating the same thing. So much for that analogy !! And Brees might have something to say about that too. This year there again the EXPERTS have put out a list of their top 5 QB's coming into this years draft. This may be a top 5 college QB list but i don't believe it to be a top 5 NFL list !! Here they are. 1) Geno Smith - great QB to play in Miami or San Diego showed nothing in bad weather ! Forget B/LO ! 2) Matt Barkley - What if anything has the past 3 QB's from USC done for you lately ? For me NOTHING ! 3) Mike Glennon - Besides being a PROTOTYPICAL NFL QB he has not shown anything but a big arm & the ability to make bad decisions in a big game or a regular game for all that matters. A Project QB to say the least... 4)Tyler Wilson - Admittedly didn't take the next step mired in the Petrino scandal. But if you use the Parcells NFL QB requirement list he with his decent college career could be considered a top 5 prospect this year given what's out there. 5) E.J. Manuel - Don't know much about this guy all's i saw was his bowl game, need i say more ? His play must have been better to get them to a bowl game but i wouldn't know. The others mentioned after these guys some i can't really say. Nassib i know won his bowl game by embarrassing Geno Smith & crew which is another knock against Smith in my view, but have not seen on any youtube stuff on the kid what all the talk is about. Did see some mediocre play on youtube though. This guy is a top NFL QB in my eyes, of coarse i have glasses but that's beyond, behind or beside the point which ever way you see it... My guy the one that i am hanging my hat on IF he comes out this year is Taj Boyd ! He proved in his bowl game what he is made of ! Tougher than nails can take a hit, never quits till it's over, great play in the clutch when it counts, very mobile able to keep play alive & can get yards on his own when a play breaks down, Good arm strength can make all the throws good accuracy, & by his performance alone leads by example. The Bills best QB choice !! Then the thought of a all Clemson back field with him & CJ back there. D coordinators would have night mares over that duo ! Bring in Boyds WR too and you have the compliment to SJ we need scary !! Blast away Bills fans !!

NO NO & NO Romo is a lot better than what we have but to give up a #1 that's just foolish . My opinion which ain't worth a bunch but you asked !!

Grimm already said no last time around why bother ? Just move on !!!

That's exactly why we need a coach with a history of winning, not getting to 500 !!!

What was his win /loss record ? Why was he fired ? Has he won a championship at any level ? We know he's been around & has the respect of others in the league but the Pittsburgh coaching tree to this point hasn't produced a hell of a lot. Not just in B/Lo's case but really any where... Please correct me if i'm wrong because it won't be the first ! & for sure won't be the last !!! I just hope they don't jump too quick, there are a lot of coaches out there that have a better championship pedigree or upside as they call it in the NFL than others & thats what we need not someone that can get us to 500. I have & will keep throwing Marc Trestmans name out there. The guy is a winner & has proven it !! At least talk to the guy & give him the chance to say no.. Dang !!

I just hope they do as Brandon said they would do "a exhaustive search to find the right guy for the job". Don't go with the first one or 2 guys you interview look at a bunch of them unless a guy with a Bellechek resume comes along then jump on the hire. Don't grab a guy right off the bat that has been fired because he didn't live up to the winning standard expected in the NFL that's just plain crazy, we have already been down that road. Get a guy that has shown he can win more than just that one season like DJ did. Bring in a guy that has championships under his belt . Bring in Marc Trestman !! For goodness sakes what does it take to just talk to the guy ? He has 2 consecutive Grey Cup Championships what more do you need to know & we can't even give the guy a call ?? Thats OK just get Wisenhunt or one of the others that were fired that will work ...

Taj Boyd proved a lot by his throwing when the game was on the line beating a strong SEC team & he made the throws in crunch time when it counted & brought his team back even after LSU was romping on them, not to mention he ran it over 30 times in the game ...

Ya but what worries me is what did he do with a mediocre QB in sexy Rexy --- NOTHIN sure when you have a exceptional talent at QB it makes every body look a lot better but it's what happens when that guy goes down & you have a guy like Fitz that comes in . Maybe if he was to bring their second string guy with him that knows his scheme but to bring him in when we don't have a talented QB I'm not real sure how that would work. I still think Marc Trestman should be considered or at least talked to so he can say YA or Na. The guy is a proven winner & is a great QB coach & teacher which is what we need especially if we get a young QB for the future !!

If it is his last game in San Diego bring him back to B/Lo we need another GOOD LB he could teach our younger guys how to do it . It sure looks like he has the fire ...

According to what he told BB.com " on a scale from 1 to 10 if he would like to stay with the Bills he said a 10, great city, great team & wants to stick around to finish what they started" GET ER DONE !!!

I just hope they have a more extensive search this time & don't ump to quickly to replace Gailey. They need to exhaust all the candidates out there & find the best fit for the talent we have instead of trying to rework what we have got . Lovie Smith said he was interested because of the players we have & how they could work well with in the scheme that he uses, that is the way to go about thing not getting a coach that wants to totally change the direction of the team by changing the players to their liking. A couple maybe but not the entire deal .

Fitz needs to rework his contract that is the only way we keep him here , he will cost our cap something like 10.45 Million next year & he's just not worth that to keep around as a back up or a stop gap !!

With all of the talk this past year that CJ was to small to handle the load of 30 + carries which coach Gailey seemingly thought by not running him as the first back while Fred was healthy & playing. I looked at my Thurman Thomas rookie card he measures 5' 10 " tall & 198 lbs when he came into the league & his YPC avg was 4.9 & is now known to be one of if not the best all purpose backs the Bills have had & is in the HOF for his accomplishments while with the Bills. Then i looked up CJ on the Bills roster 5' 11" tall 200 lbs not a lot bigger but still bigger than Thurman & his YPG avg at one point this year was 7.1 ypc & wound up over 6 for the year. This guy is going to be very special !! I just hope we can keep him here . OH & for all you Bills fans that were on the CJ is a bust band wagon, in the words of a famous country singer HOW DO YOU LIKE ME NOW ?? I just love it when players make some people eat their words !! If CJ would have had more carries this year he would have been higher in the top backs of the league than where he wound up maybe right up there with A P ...

Glennon didn't do to awful good in his bowl game 5 INT's , Geno Smith can't play in bad weather, Nassib did win is bowl game but from what i saw on youtube he didn't do much for me ... Clemsons Taj Boyd though played one heck of a game against SEC's LSU & was clutch at the end of the game when it counted & pulled out the win. Not only did he throw for over 300 yds but ran for like 100 or some crazy number they said he ran it 33 times !! Thats nuts . Just don't know if he is coming out this year . Barkley, Smith, Glennon, & L. Jones scare me This year QB class is NOT that good !! Tyler Wilson has a bunch of experience in the SEC is a senior & has good skills i'd like to see what he can do ...

I'll second that !!!!

You need to study his history in the NFL & the connections he has had the guy is perfect for what we need here. He was a volunteer coach on the Miami team when Kelly was there. He & Marv Levy bot coached the Alouettes to 2 Grey Cup Championships , his being 2 consecutive. He was in San Fran & a QB coach for Steve Young was there & worked under George Seifert , he was the QB coach in Detroit when Scott Mitchell had his best year as a QB, the guy is a great coach i just hope that the Bills at least talk to the guy this time. Plus he is well respected around the NFL by coaches & players alike , Teabow & Brandon Weedon looked him up when entering the NFL to help him with their throwing mechanics the guy is Money !! He has won championships in the CFL but has yet to have a HCing job in the NFL this would be the perfect time for him to make his Marc in the NFL as a HC . Check out his Wiki page & pull up some of the articles on the guy i think all will take a liking to this guy !!

Arians Yes , Trestman Yes, M. Schottenheimer Yes !!! Take your pick

Marc Trestman or Marty Schottenheimer "GET ER DONE"
