Yah don't forget that Nix was promoted from within the player personnel department, because he did so well.
Or was it because Ralph could recognize his name?
-
Lee Evans will be worth a second next year if he goes 105 catches for 1300 yards and 15 touchdowns this year.
Since that won't happen, he's actually worth more like a low 5 / late 4.
-
He was under contract through next season with an optional extra year in 2012 that would have been voided.
But still - this is so far from the worst move it isn't funny.
Happy trails, Beast Mode. It was fun for a minute, but be assured that the whole team is jealous of your opportunity.
-
Looks like the first two rounds of the draft are by far the most important, go figure. Never woulda thunk it.
Also - 1- You are Canadian is funny stuff.
-
I'm not sure who will go next, but I'm certain that Chris Kelsay found the hidden immunity idol.
-
Nobody will give a third for Whitner or a second for Evans. Get a grip. Try a 6th for Whitner and a 4th for Evans.

Fred Taylor is almost 35
Ricky Williams is 33
Sammy Morris is 33
Thomas Jones is 32
LT is 31
Chester Taylor is 31
Ronnie Brown is 29
Clinton Portis is 29
Willis McGahee is 29
There are plenty of older guys still playing out there. Freddy will help this team out for 4-5 more years. Even if he helped us for 2-3, that is a LONG time in the NFL. Remember, Freddy was an undrafted guy. We can find more RB's when the time comes. But we're good for a long time.
Wait, are you agreeing with me or arguing against me? Providing a laundry list of washed up running backs sort of confirms the whole 30=gack situation that people in the NFL recognize.
-
With running backs, it isn't about how many hits they take, it's about the body's natural degeneration in terms of explosiveness and elusiveness. The reason why young running backs come in and make big splashes (Johnson, AP, etc.) is because their bodies are primed for the quick-twitch style movements that make them successful.
Jackson is great and all, but there is a reason why 30 is a death knell for NFL running backs. And it isn't because of mileage. It's because they stop being able to elude tacklers.
Lynch was just whatever, but I think we'd have been situated better with a rookie and 24-year old running back, rather than a 30-year old back in the twilight of his career alongside a situational-type 10 carry back in Spiller.
-
LOL @3rd or 4th rounder for Whitner.
Lynch got a 4th, and he's a MUCHMUCHMUCHMUCHMUCHMUCHMUCH better player than Whitner.
You might get a 6th for Donte Whitner. Worth it? Who knows.
-
So...of the 5% that say we don't need a QB, you dedicate the time to this? Preaching to the choir, and it is a long, tired sermon.
I enjoyed it, to be honest.
The more of the clueless 5% that we get converted, the more fun the outrage will be when we draft Mark Ingram #1 now that we need an every-down running back.
This has all been said before, and all it means is that to this point his career has been disappointing since he was highly regarded at Lousiville from 2007-08. He's got one final shot this year to prove it, I think.
Agreed. I'm fine with letting him play. It won't matter - he is what he is. We still need to roll the dice and try to find our next leader.
-
What if we trade down and acquire two good lineman? With the trading of Lynch maybe that frees up some cash to get free agent linemen. How much is a 1st round qb, possibly 1st overall pick going to cost Ralph? Believe me, when he lays out that kinda cash he isn't signing quality FA linemen. He will get what he wants. People to buy season tickets to see the 1st round qb. But in the end the result will be the same. Mediocrity, at best
Trading out of the #1 spot in the NFL draft is nearly impossible. But even so, 1 Peyton Manning is worth 2 Jake Longs, and it isn't even close.
Your question about money is a common mistake people make when evaluating whether the Bills should draft a quarterback #1 or not.
Did you know that the #1 pick in the draft is going to make a truckload of money, whether it is a quarterback or a tackle? He will pay the same either way, so that argument is invalid.
I hope what he wants is to draft a quarterback #1, not so he can sell tickets, but because an elite-level franchise quarterback turns your team from a laughingstock into a contender for a decade.
Interestingly, that also sells tickets. Want to know why drafting a quarterback #1 sells tickets? Because it gives the team a CHANCE to shake off a decade of pathetic and contend with the best teams in the league.
Why does drafting a LT #1 not sell tickets? Because it doesn't do that whole relevance and contending for playoffs for a decade thing.
-
I don't think anyone can say what Brohm is one way or another, yet, but his potential was viewed as high as anyone over the past several years. Hopefully we'll find out.
Well, the Packers organization said that, after seeing him on the field, he wasn't worth a practice squad spot.
Our organization didn't think he could beat out a guy that they ended up cutting after 2 games. Not exactly glowing endorsements of his potential from people who make their living evaluating NFL talent.
-
fix the OL and DL and LBs first than a QB until than get a decent journeyman to hold down the fort
-
Oh please oh please oh please let them draft the next Tim Euhus.
Or maybe Dwayne Wright, so we can fill this hole we're going to have at RB now that our starter is 30 and fading and our rookie is a 10-touch-a-game situational guy.
-
Yeah this debate is about dead. Drafting a QB is the only sane strategy.
-
Well, Brohm wasn't even the #1 quarterback in his draft class for one, and for two, he has had time on the field to showcase himself. He's been in 3 training camps and a host of pre-season games and has seen plenty of action on the field. Reviews haven't been glowing, if you consider the fact that he was like, cut and stuff, and couldn't beat out a Bills quarterback that was so bad that he got cut too.
I'm all for seeing Brohm play to evaluate whether he is even worthy of a backup job, but let's not smoke the Brian-Brohm-Is-A-Franchise-QB crack pipe.
-
Told you he'd never go for anything less than a 4th.
What a terrible trade. One old man RB and one RB that can't touch it more than 10 times a game.
I hope we use our new 4th round pick to draft a running back!
-
Brian Brohm was a better prospect then any of the Class of 2011 Quarterbacks.
Did you make this up?
Please cite a source that even vaguely corroborates this wild speculation.

It is very honorable to defend the elderly. They are human beings with genuine feelings and are entitled to our deepest respect and care.
Unfortunately, it is a fundamental scientific condition of humanity that our bodies break down and fail as we age. A person in their 90s have lived FAR longer than the average human lifespan, and that longevity comes at a price.
The extreme elderly necessarily suffer from a decrease in mental and physical acuity. This is not opinion, not speculation, not propaganda, but merely a scientific fact of life.
We get old, our minds and bodies fail, and we die.
Ralph Wilson absolutely lacks the mental and physical sharpness required to run a complex business at a very high level. He has every right to own a business for as long as he lives, but please do not kid yourself into thinking that he has the same faculties as someone 40 years his junior. It just isn't possible.
-
This is misleading. Of course the qb is more important than any ONE player. Is he more important than the entire offensive line? Thats what we're really talking about here.
This is absolutely not what we are talking about here. We don't get to exchange ONE DRAFT PICK, let's assume it is the #1 pick in the 2011 NFL Draft, for MULTIPLE offensive linemen.
It is either draft a quarterback, or draft a SINGLE offensive lineman.
One franchise-level quarterback makes your whole team relevant and a playoff contender for a decade. What does ONE offensive lineman do? Help the line a bit.
Cmon, man.
-
I do not believe the Packers would trade A.J. Hawk to the Bills for Marshawn Lynch. I think we need to go down much farther on the "quality player" scale to get to something that they'd part with. A starting middle backer for a guy who is your second string RB next year is unlikely.
-
3rd or Better !
Trade Buluga for Whitner and Lynch
LMAO. Maybe they'll throw in Aaron Rodgers just to make sure we wouldn't get cold feet and take the deal of the century off the table.
-
Its alright I was pretty happy when I thought George Edwards was going to get fired.
This is Arons Maybins play book for this year. You will understand why he did not play on Sunday because of it.
This is very funny, by the way.
-
I laugh at all the people who did, and continue to blindly support Ralph Wilson. It's his fault that the organization is the running joke of the NFL.
When you are born a Bills fan, you don't really have a choice. They are the game in town, and as miserable as it makes us sometimes, you like who you like.

This just in: The Patriots are a best-of-breed NFL franchise, and the Bills are the literally worst run team.
I'd imagine there are any number of ways you can illustrate this point.
