I always admired him for being willing to forego his natural position and play ST. Struck me as a character guy. Sad to see him go

I think it is smart if unspectacular management on DW's part. We shouldn't be going into FA and the draft having nothing at QB and being forced to say that Cardale is a legit option. That Doug got TT to restructure and want to come back shows he has some serious pull with some players. I am heartened by TT's wanting to be here regardless of whether there were any other serious offers. I want us to take a QB high but I also think TT has some more room to the upside. If he gets his midrange game right or even adds just a few throws over the middle to his repertoire we might have Russell Wilson lite.

we can now enter FA and the draft without desperation written on our foreheads

Hats off to Whaley for his handling of this. We now have stability at QB going into the draft which should prevent us from doing something stupid (cough cough EJ cough cough)

http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/18607602/tony-romo-tracking-every-possible-landing-spot-2017 this article is worth reading if for no other reason than seeing Romo in Bills gear. Elway isn't going to pay Peyton Manning money to Romo so this might not be the great long shot we think it is. If this fits our scheme and our $$ package is better this could happen

starters get paid like starters even when they aren't starting quality the banjo guy is his Dad. Not only can Glennon pass over the middle, he also has a pretty mouth

my worst nightmare is we start Hoyer at QB. If this happens I will not attend another Bills game until he's gone. Still it is such a Bills-like turtleball move I fear that it may be realized. So my stab into the unknown goes Hoyer 20 %, Foles 15%, Simien 25%, Tyrod 0%, AJ Mccarron 10%, Romo 0%, Jay Cutler 10%, Glennon 10%, Garropolo 5%, Zach Mettenburger (your long shot fill in the blank) etc 5% I say zero for TT because our trying to talk him down will create too much bad will.

always liked Stevie. Anyone who got 100 yard games vs Revis with our QBs is a baller. He's missed a lot of football and I don't know what he's got left

He's not the first ex-Bill to feel the cold shoulder at OBD but if Whaley actually called him an "outsider" he's a bigger jackass than we thought.

He's a very versatile OL who can play guard or tackle. Hey DW! What do you say?

my last interaction with the BBMB mods was to have my lookalike thread of 2017 draft class QBs deleted. I received no infraction but the thread was cancelled without notice. I had some of this years draft class QBs linked up with Coneheads and Zika babies which I gather not everyone saw the humour in.

was his name Incarcerated Bob?

couldn't DW go to TT's agent and say we engineer a sign and trade deal to the team of your choice? This way the new team gets exclusive negotiations with TT without the rest of the league piling in to drive up the price.

I could handle sucking if we drafted one of Watson, Kizer, Trubisky or Mahomes but if we went 4 - 12 with Brian Hoyer our entire front office would and should be fired.

here's the link that should have started this thread off http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/tabid/61/EntryId/62071/Report--Browns-ready-to-pounce-on-Tyrod-Taylor/Default.aspx so the post asserts that the Browns would make him a starter?! If Whaley can't get trade value out of this he needs to be shown the door

Do you see all of Watson, Trubisky, Mahomes and Kizer going before 10? I have to think that one of them falls to us. I'm not a fan of playing cute and trying to trade into the lower first round to save a few sheckles. We either like some one or we don't

I like Mahomes too. he just looks more NFL ready. Either way there are NO excuses for coming out of this draft without at least one good QB prospect (not project)

Nice to see that the Dude still abides. I'm going to write an open letter to the Pegs about closing the BBMB and appreciate any advice on where to have it posted

Great to hear from you BLM. You were on of the best of the BBMB. Great insights and good humour. Now if you bring back your old avatar (Yosemite Sam?) I will really feel like I've found my new home.

so what to offer in exchange for siemian? If we had been drafting QBs all along we wouldn't be in the position of having to offer trade value for other team's late round picks

still he has cut us off without notice. I feel like we've been put up for adoption by the team we've supported through so much bad football. As you cantell I'm definitely not over it. The BBMB was by far my favourite online activity. Not all change is progress. I like this site but don't feel that it has the critical mass of the BBMB.

1. List of user names and aliases used over the last 5 years; stuvian 2. Dates active; since 2003 - 18+K posts 3. City of residence;Ottawa 4. How old were you when the Bills last made the playoffs.: I'm 51 and its too early for math 5. List of your fears; living an unrealized life, not renewing my seasons and seeing the Bills go all the way, renewing my seasons and watching the Bills fail repeatedly and feeling like a sucker It's very reassuring seeing so many familiar avatars. I still feel like someone has stolen something from me since the BBMB shut down. I registered on here awhile back and did some occasional lurking but it looks like I'll be setting up shop here indefinitely. I'm going to pen an open letter to Mr and Mrs Pegs about the BBMB shutdown for publication and welcome your ideas as to what websites or periodicals to approach with it.They need to know what this meant to us.

I feel I have no option but to write to Mr and Mrs Pegs. I'm a 12 year season ticket holder and this is a hard slap

I don't know. We had the most active message board in the league. I've never heard of a message board dissuading a player from signing somewhere.If anything it shows how much we love the team and its players

There are some days when I think the powers that be want to relocate this team. I suppose the first step in doing so is to kill the fanbase's loyalty. Today is one of those days
