  1. While I appreciate the effort and don't disagree with the assertion, that process is the same for every position on the team. I don't think the Bills are special in their process. It does stress how important the QB position is. It also stresses how much of a crapshoot it is. We gave up a lot of high picks for guys like Hobert, Johnson, Losman, Edwards, etc...

     

    Maybe you draft a QB every year and hope you get lucky.

  2. It's early for this discussion. Fun. But early. After the combine and pro days, the board will settle and it may look nothing like what we think we know now. I don't think anyone was talking about Tyson Jackson at #3 this time last year.

     

    And it's ridiculously early to predict what anyone will do, especially Okaland.

  3. They are not big enough 3-4 DEs are close to or over 300 pounds unless they are a freak of nature like Bruce who was less than 300 pounds but looked like he was chisled from stone. Do your home work people.

    Puhlease....

     

    The assertion is that some players may be able to bulk up to 280-285 (which is starting point for 3-4 DE) and be good enough to do what 3-4 ends do....which is not much. I personally doubt it, but you're about to see it. They can't cut everyone just because they changed coaches.

     

    Homework....

  4. People on both sides of this debate like to pull out examples of why you need to have a line first, or why you need the qb first. The fact that there are examples on both sides make it fairly obvious to me that either method / order can work. It's about drafting the right guys, not just about drafting the right positions. Now play nice.

    A-Freakin-Men...

     

    Draft good players...

  5. If the Colts have the #1 Offensive line, why were they ranked #32 in rushing??? Oh...that's right, they put the ball in Manning's hands......

     

    If the QB reads it right, quickly and executes...all of the sudden the O-line looks good. If the QB is puzzled, takes forever to read AND execute (Ron Johnson), even the best O-line will look crappy.

    Oops..Rob Johnson. Ron Johnson was the stereo sales guy who "dated" Jennifer Jason Leigh in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

  6. Check nfl.com. I know it's a lot of yin and yang and good line play is complementary to good QB play and visa versa but:

     

    Colts #1 ranked offensive line

    Saints #4 ranked offensive line

     

     

    Manning and Brees can't be Manning and Brees without those guys up front giving them the time and peace of mind to do their thing. Without those QBs, those lines are still easily top 10 in the NFL...with them they are #1 and #4 respectively. You can't get around it. You can't take one of those guys, put them on our team and suddenly we have a top 10 quality line.

     

    NOT A CHANCE!

  7. 1. Claussen will not get by Skins and Seahawks.

    2. For those who think OL will make a good QB, look at how Brees and Manning slide in the pocket. How they manage the game. They touch the ball 65 times a game and are the only guys who can make EVERYONE on the team better, including the defense. Although I'm not sure this is the year we get one, WE NEED ONE!!

    3. Matt Schaub led the NFL in passing yards and he was a 3rd rounder. Just becuse we fill one of our other GAPING holes first, does not mean that QB is not imortant.

  8. Kelly's replacement = NFL calibre QB. I would not be surprised at all if our opening day starter is already on the roster...and I'm not talking Fitzpatrick.

     

    If Gailey is so good at developing QBs, maybe he can develop Edwards. It wouldn't surprise me at all.

  9. I'm sorry, did you say TRADE for Tyler Thigpen?? Why not grab Derek Anderson while your at it. He had about 30 TDs a coupla years ago....

     

    I hope they hold on to their draft picks, add even more and draft well. If we're looking for Kelly's replacement, he's not buried on some other team's depth chart.

  10. Alex is a Bill and A Good Guy many newbies here do not know or understand the History of the Bills, like in life they only care about NOW That is why we have tasteless jokes about Buster Ramsey Dying or Hitler or on and on lets show some class, not only your ignorance Things Like the support for Beerball show the best in this site, the others the things that are bad, Lets Grow up a Tad OK

    Okay, maybe it's a little harsh, but just what did the Pill accomplish as a Bill or for the Bills other than a meaningless TD pass in SB 26? He's done little more than occupy a void. That's my oberservation and opinion. Good coaches find a way to get stuff done and we just didn't see that with the Pill. Again....great guy though...
