Increasing sales tax to get a new stadium?
QCity replied to GOBILLS!!!!!'s topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Believe me, the last thing you want is for the organization to be run like "most other businesses." For as much as Ralph gets kicked around, the man is an astute businessman. Everyone knows that moving this team to a new location like LA with a brand new stadium would rain cash from the sky. When Ralph goes and new ownership takes over, they just may want to run it like "most other businesses." Say bye to the Bills if that happens. -
Yankees owner dies, the team goes on in NY

Nah the estate tax is back for 2011 and future years at 55%. So when Ralph passes, the team gets sold. -

Steinbrenner died while the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy were still in effect. He paid zero in taxes and his family saved close to $500 mil. -
Just to clarify something for you, we aren't saving cash by passing on a QB in the 3rd spot. Regardless of what CBA/rookie wage scale they implement, the number 3 pick will get paid less than #2, and more than #4. If we drafted a kicker in that spot it wouldn't change the amount we have to pay him. Agents for first round picks argue position drafted, not athletic performance.

I think the fact that you are rating a CB based on tackles and PD is your first problem. Nnamdi Asomugha probably won't even find a team next year with his horrible stats
-
Seriously. I know it's common for fans to bad mouth a player when it appears they could be out the door, but Flo was easily the best DB on this team last year. If Williams struggles (which is very possible) and we let Flo get away, all of a sudden our 2 corners are the oft-injured McGee and Leodis (who is very shaky).

Whitner rated by ESPN experts as #7 overall saftey in NFL
QCity replied to pmak's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We should, the biggest factor in compensatory picks is salary (there are other factors like playing time and postseason success). Kampman and Vanden Bosch both signed deals worth about 6.5M a year, and their respective teams got a 4th round pick. Most likely he'll sign for around 5-6M a year, which should be enough to get us a 5th round pick. -

Well, I'd like to point out there were only 11 safeties listed, so they rank him last. If more were added he could drop lower. Here's the link -

We need to start looking at veteran free agent QB's
QCity replied to John from Riverside's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
This is too easy, you know it's going to be Tyler Thigpen. -

Your continuous rants that every single one of the Bills picks this year will wind up on the practice squad and that the Bills will be 0-16 for the next 3 years with Fitz degrading into Jamarcus Russell is comical, and your refusal to see the fact that the Bills are improving completely discredits any of your posts. Go ahead and sell your season tickets, and then look up the meaning of hyperbole. -
Walterfootball.com just killing the Bills for this draft.
QCity replied to Thurman8125's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Please don't drive traffic to this guy's site, he intentionally gives harsh reviews for this sole purpose. He has no more football knowledge than any of the other 100,000 bloggers out there. -
Round 7 (Pick 245): DT Michael Jasper - Bethel (TN)
QCity replied to BuffaloBill's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I love how we draft some 400 lb guy from the backwoods and everyone immediately labels him the next Ted Washington. If only we could draft a 400 lb DB. -
You would describe the upgrade from Stroud (a 32 yr old DT playing out of position) to Dareus as marginal? Please take a time out and stop posting.
-
I think so as well. It's pretty obvious the people comparing him to Leaf and calling him a "statue" don't watch college ball, and probably get 90% of their draft info from mock bloggers (i.e. Walter Football). I was terrified Miami was going to grab him at the end of the 2nd.

After Rudolph went you can forget TE. The TE crop this year is very poor, with Rudolph projecting to be only slightly above average. The remaining TE's left aren't any better that what we have, and will wind up as wasted picks. I hope they can pull a miracle sleeper RT out of their arse somehow.

After a couple more years of getting beat by Brady
QCity replied to billsfreak's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He doesn't have much choice. Aaron Rogers sat for 4 years. -
Wow - AdamSchefter: One front office executive said last week that Ryan Mallett was the top-rated quarterback on the Patriots draft board.
-
Ouch.
-
Now that Marcus Gilbert (OT) is off the board (damn you Pitt) I really have no problem gambling on Mallett.
-
Pretty interesting read. Marcell Dareus makes colossal impression

Update: ESPN retracts their report. The NFL lockout has not been reinstated.

This guy really did his homework. He called Locker at 8, Fairley falling to Detroit, Ponder going high, Bowers being passed over, Amukamara droppping, and still hit the first 6 picks. Wow!
