If there are better players available to replace them at comparable cost, than yes. Otherwise, no.
Every team has average quality players and none of those guys are that expensive.

I agree. Calling Ralph cheap doesn't really do justice to how bad of a CEO he's been.
For the Bills to be successful, the management under their horrible CEO is going to have to be very good if not outstanding.
I would posit that it's been equally as terrible for a while now.
Hopefully (and maybe I'm still on a Mario high) we've got at least a GM now that can spot and bring in some talent. And hopefully we've got a good coaching staff that can get some proper execution from the players.

Depends on who's perspective you are looking at. As CEO of the Bills he has maintained a franchise that has turned a profit almost every year, if not every year. He owns the team outright. Sounds like a hell of a CEO to me. Hell of a deal with Toronto he made a few years ago too. Worked hard at regionalizing the franchise(see Rochester and Toronto).Every once in a while I try to remind folks that this is a business he's running. The business has to be healthy/profitable to be a stable business. He cares about winning but it is a business first.IMO he's been a hell of a CEO. Especially in a City with a national reputation as a dump(see Brady). He also was one of 2 owners who balked at the previous aggreement between the owners and the NFL. Turned out he was right because they tried to fix it last year. Again, great CEO.

In other posts I've mentioned this same thing....Carrington is a great physical specimen and was the DE in college and I think he's got great strength and a quick step. I've been a proponent of letting Carrington man one side since the switch to 4-3 b/c I think he could be a good guy against the run and a decent pass rusher, put him opposite MW and along side KW and Dareus, and I believe that's the line to go with and let Kelsey and Merriman be the pass rush specialist...
-
I'm not sure we're finished with the D. Mario prefers to play Left DE. That puts Kelsay on the sideline. Who will be our right DE? Jim Kelly seems to think it's Merriman but, with his health history, he can't be considred reliable. Buffalo still needs to find a capable RDE in my opinion. Buffalo needs to resign D. Bell, trade down in Rd 1 and select a Mercilus or Andre Branch for RDE. With those moves, our D will have been rebuilt.
I think we have a guy named Carrington who can fit the bill. Having Mario opposite of him will help him alot. I see Carrington making plenty of plays this season. Come on, Kyle and Marcel in the middle and Mario on the other side drawing a TE/RB chip?!? Carrington will see plenty of 1 0n 1's. Don't forget Kelsay excells with his hand on the ground, not as an OLB. He's gonna produce when he's in there also. Man, I can't wait for the season to start!

I had kinda hoped Bills fans had turned a corner, but nope I was wrong
Hey now, we're not all guilty by association.
-
all I have to say is....
MR. WILSON TEAR DOWN THIS WALL OF BEING CHEAP!
What wall?!?!?!?
-
McKelvin?
Yes.
I get why you ask. He had trouble locating the ball when thrown his way, but he was always in position to make the play. If you notice, the throws were pretty much placed where only the receiver had a chance. With enough time a QB can make a throw like that. With pressure, these throws will not be perfectly placed and McKelvin will have a better shot at an errant throw(low/wide/hurried) than a perfectly thrown ball. IMO
-
BPA. It's not that complicated. The Bills will not reach for a need. They need playmakers.
GO BILLS!!!
You've gotta at least consider DB. Houston had a great defensive line up through 2010, but they couldn't cover anyone and were horrible as a result. Once they got Jonathan Joseph, things changed. That said, the Bills CB cupboard isn't as bare as the Texans' was. Otherwise, LT.
Once they got Jonathan JosephWade Phillips, things changed.

Guys, correct me if I'm wrong, but his whole contract is gauranteed. We gain nothing by cutting him. I've seen this posted here a few times. If correct, stop bringing this up. If he gets cut, it's cuz he can't play. Not for the money.
-
He just made at least one of them a pro bowler.
My vote is J. Byrd for the Pro Bowl with a better pass rush.
-
I've been saying all along that our DB's aren't bad, they just have no pass rush to help. Lets's see what happens this season. I think with a healthy D, we can duplicate the turnovers we had early last year. We have ball hawks and now hopefully some chances to show it. Thoughts?
-
Can someone explain what Bell has done as a Bill? Sure he a good athlete and a great story but he's been injury prone and average when he's been on the field.
IMO Bell has played better than average when he is in. Injuries happen and cannot be predicted.If he is a good player, and I think he is, sign him. I said good, not great. If you can find a better option right now get him, but if not we sure could use him. Keep our good players and add from there.

hes not really that good. hes purely a 1 dimensional speed receiver who is highly overrated due to his fantasy numbers and espn's odd infatuation with the gay azz steelers. only a truly ignorant person would try to bring him into the convo when a true franchise changer like super mario should be the only thing being discussed.
(AKA LAME THREAD)
(SORRY FOR TROLLING, BUT NOT REALLY)
Funny how being able to type an opinion makes people feel they are so much of an expert that they feel the need to resort to name-calling. Just like all those bloggers who think they know it all. Only a truly ignorant person would try to act like he/she knows it all. I mean really, where do you get off calling someone ignorant? We need a receiver, don't we?

Vincent Jackson, Eric Wright, and now Carl Nicks. All they need is an MLB and they win Free Agency.
DREAM TEAM !!!!!!

Nothing wrong with sleeping on it. I hope he had nice dreams.
You know, there is such a thing as beating a dead horse. Give it a break. Unless you're 13 yrs old.
Dick Jauron went after TE Tony Gonzalez and instead Tony chose Atlanta. Does that make Jauron great because he saw a hole and tried to fill it with a proven commodity?
I'm not giving Nix credit for failing.
I can recall this Bills FO stating that they were going to hire a top HC and money was no object after they fired Jauron, they were gonna spend 10 million if that's what it takes. Remember that?
They even flew in Mike Shanahan and Bill Cowher and spoke with both, what happened? You can't make top players / coaches want to come to a loser.
loser
Pretty strong statement. I suppose you are the best at what you do for a living.I assume you got an award for being the best at it. If not, does that make you a loser? I live in Fl, but was born and raised in Buff. I take exception to people calling US(Bills)LOSERS.If you don't like it, find another team. And instead of loser , you can be a winner.
Make me

Whether Mario Williams signs or not, I give the Bills brass lots credit for trying which has not always been the case here in years past. Reports are the Bills' offer makes Williams the highest paid defensive player in the NFL. What else can they do?
What else can they do?!? Get him drunk and get him to sign.

I'm not hellbent on anything. Just merely pointing out something I find fascinating about your inconsistent posting history. It's just funny that when you question someone's ability on the Bills roster it's okay. But when someone else does so it's "biatching" and you think they should shut their trap and just support the players we have. I'm sure the other posters who you called out for not being "haters" also find this hypocrisy interesting.
As for Bell, I don't care if he stays or not. I've been on record as saying that the Bills have serious talent and depth problems all along their offensive line. Bell included. But then again, I'm of the mind that it's okay for fans to question the players on their favorite team's roster. You're the one who thinks that's sacrilege.
Then again, based on your comments in this thread, apparently you don't even believe the drivel you've been spouting for the past few weeks.
Maybe there's hope for you yet.
Pssst hiiisss, Sounds like a cat fight to me.Maybe this will help:

That statement is about the furthest from the truth I've ever read. unconditionally is used to describe the love between parents and children, not sports fans and their respective teams. As a matter of fact its more a love / hate relationship from every fan I've ever known
Fans have a right to B word and complain, vent their passions and frustrations in forums like this one. ten years man....TEN YEARS MAN! Bills fans have more then their share of frustrations to vent about and more then enough reasons to be skeptical.
The Redskins fans are far better off IMO, at least their foolish owner goes way overboard on spending trying to build a winner. Whereas this owner lets loose his three headed monster to control and restrict what the GM and HC can do in terms of obtaining free agents and holding on to established vets.
I have an idea. Why don't you start your own thread " Why the Bills are NOT moving in the right direction." ?

I just threw up in my mouth
Special Team players are important too.

B word owes me money!

You're a dope like your uncle… you'll never amount to anything.

Fair enough. I think we place him similarly but speak about it in different terms. Which is fine. 10-20 is definitely number 1 material. Ranking at that point is nearly silly between schemes, skill sets, qbs.... It is average number 1 material though. We need him, I like him.
I just wish we had some more elite playmakers that are notable around the league.
I hear ya on the last thought. If we stay healthy, we could have SJ, Fredex and/or Spiller. Maybe even Fitz. Only if we stay healthy.
Im sure Ill get call stupid for this but Id sign Evans and Maybin back

How do Paul Miller, Jim Racalto, or Joe B know any more than you or I do.
Well, unless you write/report on the nfl or certain teams like these guys do, it's their job to know more than you or I. They have access to more info than we do.
Let's fix this question:
How do you or I Paul Miller, Jim Racalto, or Joe B know any more than you or I doPaul Miller, Jim Racalto, or Joe B?
