This board has turned full crazy.

I know we need a QB. Today finally turned me. But I think we would do any young QB a disservice by not taking the Cowboys approach of building a solid offensive line for (insert QB name here) to play behind. I think we have pieces, but aren't solid tackle to tackle. Thoughts?

What if he becomes a FA and the Bills sign him?

We just hired a competent GM. The past 5 (or 17) years aren't on his watch.

I agree. Setting up for post Brady. I get the want to win now...I want it as well...but finally, after two decades, there is a vision and plan.

Sammy was gone next year. This is a *Patriots like move. I don't mind the move. Our 2018 draft is stacked.

That's my point. Tradeable assets are always great, especially when you get one for a guy you were going to cut in a month anyhow.

I love this. For the better part of two decades, we would have just cut him. But now we have gained an asset that can be used in the future. That's how you build a team. Smart move by the FO.

Honestly the most excited I've been in an offseason in decades...please let it equate to wins and playoffs....

Dooooomed.

Amen. And great first post.

I've been coming here sporadically and posts like this are the reason why. I understand 17 years sucks and Pegula's attempt to make a splash with the Ryan circus was an unmitigated disaster. But reading stuff like this makes my blood pressure rise. This offseason feels different. Every hire we have made is respected across the league and I will defer to the people in the know before buying into the (admittedly warranted) cynicism on this board. The Bills are making sound decisions. Finally. Time will tell if it equates to wins and playoffs, but I have to say this is the most optimistic I have been in over a decade. Just my Two Cents.

I'm interested what failing models you are referring to. Not questioning the validity of your statement, just curious about specifics.

Just an honest question....how much does an average American pay for comprehensive health insurance (without pre-existing conditions)?

It's a new day. I have no idea if McDermott will get us to the playoffs, but he's doing things differently and I am a HUGE fan of that. No more same old Buffalo Bills, IMO.

Your logic is too logical. Your emotions are supposed to trump logic (no pun intended, but I like it).

The few missed tackle stat alone makes this a great pick. Our secondary tackling has been atrocious.

You're letting facts cloud your judgement and temper an irrational, emotional response.

I got a page and a half into this thread and was infuriated. The Bills finally do something we always praise the Patriots for, trade down...acquire picks and pick a solid need player...then they get roundly criticized for not making a "sexy" pick and not acquiring more. Unbelievable. We won the trade and made a great pick. On to day 2.

X 1,000,000

You lost me when you said "loose".

The only saving grace is that the *Pats are shedding picks, which has me hoping if (when?) they win it all, the Brady Belichick train will ride into the sunset.

And the offseason! Rex showed us that!

I am a cup half full kinda guy. I want to think things will get better. But after listening to that press conference, I have finally concluded the entire organization needs to be completely blown up. My Lord, that was awful.

I agree with this. I missed this thought process in your OP.
