Nice Bandito, appreciate the work you've put into it.

Not a chance, he already appealed last June and lost that.

The crying Jordan is the best.

Ouch.

The reality of the Bills QB situation is that the Bills don't have a QB signed past next year. It's fairly apparent that you think TT will work out just fine. Unfortunately, there is a very real possibility that he doesn't. That defenses figure out how to stop him or that he just doesn't progress as a player. In that case, the Bills need to plan for the future. They can't just hope TT continues to get better. They need to plan for all instances and so it would make sense to draft a QB in the case that TT doesn't work out. That player could sit for a year and in 2017 that QB could possibly start.

The bold take is false and completely incorrect. I've discussed this with you before. I've even shown/posted you pictures. Yes, when a defensive lineman is given a two-gap responsibility, his job is to quickly diagnose the play and pick which gap is the weak point. That is correct. The problem is, you don't seem to understand Rex Ryans scheme. Rex Ryans defensive scheme is not a two-gap scheme for the DL on every single play. It is multiple. They run combinations. Half the line could be playing a 3-4 concept and the other half could be playing a 4-3 concept. Mario Williams did not have two-gap responsibility on every single play. He was asked to rush the passer plenty of times. Did Mario Williams have plays where he had two-gap responsibilities? Yes, he did. Is that the most effective way to use his freak athletic speed/strength? No, it probably isn't. Does that make Mario Williams mailing it in, ok? No it certainly does not. It is entirely possible to not agree with Rex Ryans scheme and how he used Mario AND be upset at how Mario reacted to what he was being asked to do. Just because Mario didn't like the position/role he was being asked to play is not an excuse for the way he acted. Other players on the line didn't mail it in.

I get that, but Carolina controls the strings. They basically gave Norman what he wanted. You would think they could use his services this year if he refused the trade. What does freeing up $14MM at this point do?

Maybe. But now you get nothing... Wouldn't you take. 2nd or a 3rd at that point?

Wouldn't you try to trade Norman if you're Carolina? Edit: You control him with the tag, try to get something for him?

Can't blame the player for trying to get as much money as he can... Panthers just aren't going to be the team to give it to him. This could set the market for Gilmore.

I'm pretty sure this isn't the end either.

So NFL coaches tell the truth to the media, all the time? They couldn't possibly be just giving lip service? Is that really where you hang your hat?

Are we done with the outrage yet?

I do really like Roberts, I hoped they Bills use the early 4th on him, don't think he will last into the 5th.

I know what you mean, I'm hoping it's not someone like Ragland either but man, if it was somehow Myles Jack, man o' man.

And you're complaining about this, why?

Would you say that if it was Myles Jack they were using the pick on?

He had the knee during preseason and then the back during the season, I wonder if it's medical too.

Tyler Dunne @TyDunne You could say inside linebacker is a need for the Bills. They have three. Welp, they'll definitely be drafting one, probably 2.

Wasn't he injured? His back, wonder if it hasn't healed properly or something.

Williams was just on the JM show the other day saying he had finished his rehab. He still could have showed up to he facility for the meetings, couldn't he? Gilmore hasn't been cleared and he was at the facility. So was Easley and so was Hughes, who were both not cleared. Again, still at the facility.

Ya, who knows, maybe he had this vacation planned and has been planned. No point in getting upset or being disappointed. Kyle Williams wasn't there and either was Sentreal, so for me, it's not a big deal. Maybe he's had this vacation planned for a while. A last trip with his friends or whatever. Who knows. Kyle Williams wasn't there either.
