Just in Atlanta

The Toronto Bills will win it first.

I agree with everything you said. It's borderline insanity for us to have not have drafted a QB in three years.

More stoppage of plays. More questionable calls. More restrictions. He called that penalty, why not this one?...Impossible to enforce across the board. People who applaud this probably don't see the slippery slope that this is. I see no problem with a RB finishing a play off with his head, as many times there are multiple defenders. How can you not hit with your head? There will be some major rule change every single season until the game we love is like a Pro Bowl game.

The safety zealots, and lawyers, will ruin are ruining this game. Seriously don't understand the fans here who applaud this nonsense.

The difference between those two is that Walker is a blogger and Sando is a bonafide reporter. Even though I haven't paid ESPN anything, I feel jipped after reading that article.

No problem with bringing him in to compete.

I wonder if he'd fall for it twice, only with Tim Tebow's agent on the other end.

Travaris Jackson, who wasn't good enough to even suit up last season, is, as of now, our starter. We will have zero continuity at the QB position. Let's not do too many moonwalks. I have to think this Deadspin report had a major to do with this. Yes, we all know Fitz is a backup. But Buddy basically saying that for the world to hear is a different story. Him staying after that basically means he admits he's only a backup. I wish him the best.

DeadSpin!

Nothing much was revealed that we didn't already know. But it was fascinating nonetheless. Question: Are we being unethical for posting it here? It's kind of like a car accident. There's no way I can't watch.

For those wondering, like me, what this was all about: News on the Buffalo Bills front today as Incarcerated Bob talked to a "highly regarded source" within the Bills organization. Here are some of the main rumors with what's happening in Western New York. Trying To Land The Big Fish: Sources tell IBN that Dannell Ellerbe will be the big sought after free agent for Buffalo, as long as the Ravens don't bring him back. Expect the Bills to make a big offer once free agency starts up. Linebacking is the most pressing need for the Bills in the offseason and they look to shore it up with this big name. The Bills look to recreate last years magic of getting the guy they want when they snagged Mario Williams. Keeping Them In The Division: New defensive coordinator Mike Pettinne looks to bring some of his former Jet players with him. The staff is reportedly in love with the idea of getting defensive lineman Mike DeVito. Laron Landry will also be pursued by the Bills although they will only sign him "if price is in framework the Bills can work with." Landry brings a big hitting mentality if he comes to Buffalo and although he lacks great ability in pass coverage the Bills already have a great coverage safety in Jarius Byrd (who they franchise tagged). Offensively the Bills may make a run at tight end Dustin Keller, although the Jets are trying to keep him on Gang Green. Starting tight end Scott Chandler tore his ACL in Week 16 against Miami. So Long Fitz?: IBN has learned it looks as if the Bills are "leaning" to parting ways with quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick. The new coaching staff, led by head coach Doug Marrone, wants a fresh start but Russ Brandon and GM Buddy Nix seem as though they'd like to work something out. One thing that is for sure is Fitzpatrick won't be coming back with the contract he has now. The Bills have Tarvaris Jackson on the roster and with scrapping Fitzpatrick would most certainly lean towards drafting a quarterback early in the draft. IBN believes Fitzpatrick will be out of Buffalo by March 13. Follow me on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RichCumpston *Incarcerated Bob's Added Notes* Late tonight Bills officials are saying they will make a big run at WR - Mike Wallace and if that price range is too much for the Bills liking they will set sights towards WR - Greg Jennings... Bills are not playing around this off-season expect another "Explosive" winter full of moves. http://ibnsportswrap...3.VNpvaBpz.dpuf

I don't think there should even be any question over whether or not we choose a QB in the first. Enough already. Over a decade of madness. I'm with C.Bisquit: Pick until we land a good one.

Yes I read it. And nearly every time I am disappointed. He has written some good analysis before. But you have to wade through the relentless brief stories that offer no real info to get to them. Worse, he's never broken anything that I'm aware of. Pretty poor coverage overall. The AFC East reporter should be considered an authority. He's more of a parrot, a parrot that parrots analysis that any serious fan would already know. I don't know if it's him being lazy, him not having good connections or just the direction ESPN gives him. I haven't really checked out the other bloggers to figure that one out.

Yikes. That was depressing.

I wouldn't read too much into this. If they draft a scrambler or runner, or if they draft a pocket passer, all this will change. A good coach fits his plays/schemes to the players. At this point, we don't know who will be behind center. I know! Just when he learned the last one... Now it's going to take another year. By 2015, he should be ready to suit up for second string. If we could only duct-tape four Calvin Johnson clones together, Fitz would be unstoppable.

Fitz fatigue. I feel tired just writing his name. ... He's had his shot. If he's not the No. 2 next season, It'll be hard for this fanatic to watch games on a regular basis.

Thanks for the share.

I say we finish at .500, which, sadly, would be better than the previous five or so years. Marone and Petine seem to be solid picks. The OC, on the other hand, seems, at first glance, to be a stretch. It also appears as if this team threw the baby out with the bathwater with all the assistant coaches. Could be a big mistake not bringing back our ST and OL coaches. Continuity is so important. I think last season burned me for good concerning ever having high hopes. Add that with continuity issues, a still dominant Pats* and a surging Dolphins, I would be pleasantly surprised with a winning season.

It's on like a mofo.

Calling gym class a mandate is a big stretch. I'm comparing your view that you want more government in your house to that of mandating hygiene...or soda intake...or anything that's good for you...or pick your poison. My next door neighbor's kid busted his eye on the stupid backyard trampoline. Should we ban that too? We can go on and on with these dangerous activities. Is the mom of trampoline boy deserving of a fine? You're cherry picking what someone says cause you agree with the role of government in people's lives. Doctors say a lot of things. They overprescribe painkillers. And antibiotics. And antidepressants. They say everything is dangerous. Of course they're going to say football is dangerous for a kid. Because it is. That doesn't mean we have to listen. It's called being a human, and, hopefully, an American. My doctor told me not to drink more than two drinks a day. I don't listen. My doctor told me, as a kid, to not eat so many sweets. I didn't listen. Should my mom had been mandated to not allow me to eat so many Nerds and Sweet Tarts? You clearly don't think this game silly with 5,147 posts.

Doctors also say kids should exercise every single day and floss twice daily. Should we mandate that too?

I'd list freedoms lost--but if you don't see that we're losing freedoms exponentially, which we are, you'd never admit to anything. I could say NY banned yellow shirts, and you'd probably "yeah but." 5 year olds can't drive--because they're five!--and would harm others. Giving a 3 year old alcohol could be construed as child abuse--because their bodies can't handle it. I'd also say there comes a point when a parent should be allowed to give their kid a beer if that is his world view. Letting a kid play a game with other kids is a personal choice. Yes, many parents are idiots. And your solution to that is empowering even bigger idiots (politicians) to take all of our freedoms away? If you want constraints in your life, great. Please don't force your world view of what you think ought to be constrained down my throat through some douchebag politician. Assuming my future kid wants to play, I will be letting him play, regardless of what you, or Assemblyman Benedetto, believe.

I may have been a dummy, but not uncoordinated. Had no control of the (thick) branch breaking. The second time, my friend was goofing around and roughhousing...pushing me off. I gave him a tity twister afterward.

I actually fell out of two trees as a kid. Weird, huh? Think I would have learned my lesson the first time. Suffered a concussion both times. First time, I was hanging on a branch and it broke. Hit the back of my head on a rock wall. Never forget the sound I heard--like a baseball unwinding at super speed past my ears. The second time, I literally fell out of a tree and hit the back of my head (again!) on a branch. Much more of a mild concussion. Should we ban tree climbing? Played tight end as a pee wee. Don't ever recall hurting anything that didn't feel fine within a few hours.

I see your point. Just don't buy it. There simply comes a point when human beings should be human beings and not part of some regulated collective. This term "public" is a dangerously loaded word. When we give up rights simply because something is public we will end up giving up more. You are saying because a kid might hurt himself on "public" property the public has a right to prevent him from performing the activity that might cause the injury. That's a slippery slope if I ever did see one.
