and as an example of this, just look back to the tebow-fest of last off-season. piles and piles everywhere you went.
Who can forget that classic video of Tebow running with his shirt off in the rain at the start of camp. It was played endlessly. I kept thinking I was watching a really bad episode of Baywatch.

Count me in with the 'it feels different" crowd. I still think we have a lot of holes to fill. And we will be counting on a lot of rookies and first timers as coaches.... But I have hope. I don't know if EJ is any good, or if Marone is a decent coach, or even if Whaley will be a good GM. But I sure will enjoy the ride. For the first time in years, I am excited about this team. No more retreads!

Hey, thanks for drafting me. Now show me the money, and I'll almost certainly show you a four game suspension. It's hard to party - legally - in the NFL.
-
I'm just saying, Blackmon underperformed almost all year, meanwhile Cecil Shorts was good for at least a couple big plays every game, even with Gabbert and his suspect O-Line.
Guess which way the coverage rolls now. I don't remember him being big or fast. A solid #2.
-
Nothing happened with Cecil Shorts.
Good point. I forgot I had him in FF. But still, not good.
-
A suspect QB on his 3rd head coach in 3 years. And now they are missing their best receiver. Not Good.
-
I've heard of him. I'd pass. He has to keep typing in some numbers every 108 minutes or some weird batsh!t happens. Who needs that!

Yeah right, all the teams wanted the 5th rated QB in the draft...
Clearly he was not the 5th rated QB on the Bills board. No other QBs were taken so they got their guy.
And who are the other QBs on the board rated higher EJ? Barkley and Nassib? That is not how the draft is playing out.
OBD did a nice job. Got some extra picks, didn't get too cute by trading down again. And selected the #1 QB on their board. Going into the draft I was not focused on EJ. I would have been fine with Barkley or Nassib - at the 8th or even 16th pick.. That sure looks foolish now. They were rated in the top 5 of all mock draft boards that I saw. Nix didn't trade back again and have to select the 2nd QB off the board and then claim, ".... he was our guy all along." We wouldn't have believed him and we would have been screaming that Nix screwed us again.
Well played Buddy. But OBD has no excuses now. You got the guy you wanted. Now we'll see if the coaching staff is as good as they claim.

I don't hate the pick. Big arm, mobile, healthy, and some of his flaws might be coachable. My major concern is his accuracy is described as above average but not great but not great and his mechanics need some work. I keep hearing that mechanics are coachable but in recent years few QB's have been able to change mechanics. Throw in that his accuracy might be a concern and I am officially wait and see on this guy.
I would have loved this pick had the Bills been able to trade down just a few more picks. Trade down to the early to mid 20's pick up a extra 2nd or 3rd and another late rounder and it would have helped this team a lot. Still loved the original trade down.
the thing I respect the most is that the Bills traded back, got the extra picks -- then didn't get cute. Imagine if they had traded back again and ANY quarterback was then taken. The board would have crashed -- wait it did-- and we would have criticized OBD for getting the 2nd best QB. Buddy would have come on and said the typical, "he (EJ) was our guy all along." And NO ONE would have believed him. Now we know. EJ was their guy all along. And I can now believe him.
Buddy, et al, went all in. They took a small gamble, it payed off, and didn't try to push their luck.

Does anyone know who got the better value in the trade back: Oakland or Buffalo?

At 8:27
Just got word we'll be trading with St. Louis for 16
NGU?

Sirius NFL reported he tweeted about a Thursday night draft party. Is he nuts? Everything he did to rehabilitate himself just went out the window.
-
Larry Felser and Jim Kelley. Did we even know how good we had it?
-
the theory would be we save a few million a year so its levitre (8m) and the pick (5m) VS warmack (5m) AND another player or two (8m).
say we decided to go LB with the extra dollars - would you rather have levitre and jarvis jones for example, or Warmack and Lawson and Dansby.
I like Dansby. (Did he sign by the way?) But he is 31. Since you asked, I'd prefer Levitre and Jones.
-
This is the stuff that drives me crazy. We had a guy, who was good -- not great -- but solid at the position. He walks, we get nothing, and then we spend a top 10 pick on his replacement. How does this make the team better? Had we kept the guy, then we could have addressed another position making the team better.
I have nothing against Chance Warmack. But this if this is the pick, I will need serious counseling.

"It's one of those opinionated days" I loved how he was able to use his knowledge of the original days of the AFL in his later writings, comparing then and now.
-
As someone pointed out, we can get a better back, cheaper. Who is going to take the time to teach him all of the skills necessary to be an effective blocking back? He is used to operating in space, not in the tight confines of between the tackles. Thank you, but no.

Sorry, couldn't resist.[

"It's on like a Mofo!"
And then, nothing happens..... ever......

Fitz backed him up in Cincinnati. As I recall, Fitz called Cason something along the line of a practice hog, as in he took ALL of the reps. Not the kind of guy to bring in if you are planning to draft a QB this year or next. I like Palmer, I think he'd be an upgrade for us. But I think he's a bad fit for us, even at a bargain price.

I too watched the game live on CTV with a buddy. It seems to me it was late afternoon, or early evening game. I remember we stood for the last half of the 3rd period. No way we could sit down -- too excited. After the game we went out to our favorite sports bar/watering hole and enjoyed watching the game again. As I recall, that game got us to the medal round. We didn't win the gold with that game, but we never would have won gold without that win.
Aside from the comeback game vs Houston, that may have been my best sports moment.

How are national TV broadcasters referring to the team? Are they comfortable using the term Redskin? or do they refer to the team as simply 'Washington'?
NFL looks like it's going to move draft to May

I heard this today too, and it sounded like that is the direction the NFL is going.
Seems like it penalizes teams with new coaches, or rookie QBs. Less OTAs and reps for everyone.
