ganesh

Dibs, The proof is in the pudding...and you just proved my theory that they go hand-in-hand (Coaching + Elite QB)

But...But I thought that we had to take few steps backward to take more steps forward! Let us beat up on another dead-horse. They all go hand-in-hand !

They paid for Deion Sanders and Champ Bailey and they were very good for a long time.

How do you coach "Arm Strength" +1. You draft one, and he fails, then you draft another one. If he fails too, you draft another one, until you hit it.

It is just insane. I am glad the Bills shut down all these notions and simply signed the 7 year lease agreement.

My guess is that it makes it easier for us to sign McKelvin to a decent contract.

Aaron Maybin and Shawn Merriman have got the most easiest money to be earned besides the lottery!

Simply pointing that i wouldn't be surprised if the Bills do sign Matt Moore, My point is that neither Moore nor Fitz can take this team to the playoffs. They need a real QB.

Dibs, I thought your dream job would be to replace Buddy! That you have a dumbass team run by a bunch of dumbass front office that were coached by a dumbass coaching staff for the past three seasons!

Buddy has drafted One good player each for the two lines in three years (Glenn and Dareus). Wood, Levitre and Willaims were drafted by the previous regime. Urbik was a FA Waiver pickup. He has put one decent FA on the defensive line in Mario williams. Of course, none of Glenn, Dareus or Williams are yet to make the pro-bowl or voted as All-pro in their Bills uniforms. There is no physical presence on this DL. For god's sake, this same Defensive line ranked 32nd and 31st against the RUN in the last two seasons of the NFL. In three seasons, Nix is yet to draft a player that has gone to the pro-bowl other than Spiller this year as an alternate! Patting each others back and laughing all the way to the bank!!!!

The other difference is the coaching staff of the dumbass teams and the SB teams....The dumbass teams have predominantly had mediocre coaching staff.

And Andy 'the man in denial' Reid coaching the team.

One journeyman QB is already making this with the Buffalo Bills and another one made 3M last year for not even dressing up for the games !!!!

http://www.buffalorumblings.com/2012/3/27/2906144/buffalo-bills-mark-anderson-contract-details According to the above article, Anderson will make 2.5M this year., If we do cut him, then our cap hit will be 4.5M of the remaining pro-rated bonus. If the Bills want to save that 2.5M for another player, then they could cut him after June1st and amortize that bonus over the next two seasons. I definitely think this is manageable. Also, Anderson may actually have a good role in Pettine's defense.

Or a extremely good RB who can line up at the Slot. I hope this coaching staff will put Spiller and Jackson on the field at the same time. Nelson was a better WR.

Wood is definitely (albeit injured often) a better player than Levitre. Wood dominates the line of scrimmage. Whenever Wood for injured, Fitz game was not the same. He never had time to step in the pocket and throw.

How can the Bills make a play on him when he is still the Chiefs property until March 12th.... :wallbash: Clayton quoted that with the current cap situations, it will only be possible for a team to have approximately 6-8 players being paid more than 6M a year (and with some of those 6-8 getting 10-15M a year). We have big contracts for Stevie, Fitz, Mario, Anderson, Williams and Byrd. That is six players. Can we add Levitre and another big WR to that pool ? We definitely have the cap to do it.

Fitz replaced Trent Edwards because he was able to throw the ball down field. Now that Fitz refuses to throw the ball downfield or misfires consistently, it is only time for him to be replaced by someone who can do that. Anyone who can stretch the field opens up those big lanes for Spiller.

We will find out soon. With Cap space, the Steelers may have to take another year off before being relevant. The Ravens are going to be cap strapped by that Flacco deal in the near term. The Browns....are just the browns (Though Norv has a good RB in his hand). The AFC North is prime for taking and Dalton and the Bengals just did that last season. Now can they repeat and go deeper in the playoffs ?

Unfortunately if the HC comes in and tells them (FO) that Fitz will not be his starter, then they have a even bigger problem.

I think it is more of the opposite...meaning a FEW solid moves and some head scratchers.... Good stuff: 1. Spiller 2. Cordy Glenn 3. Re-signing Stevie 4. Picking Urbik on the waiver wire 5. Signing of Mario Williams Bad Stuff: 1. PIcking a horrible HC 2. No Franchise QB in place in 3 years 3. Paying a huge contract to Fitz when he went 4-1 against scrubs (except for game against Patriots). 4. Unable to get a decent LB crew 5. Not locking up Levitre and Byrd in year 3 and letting them to get to UFA. 6. Missed on drafting Williams, Troupe, Arrington etc. 8. Re-signing Kelsay calling him leader.

I agree DJ, TJ and whoever was the 4th scrub WR were any good. But still, all Fitz did was overthrew passes, threw bullets within 5 yards that couldn't be caught and then vastly underthrew the sideline throws. It was consistently inconsistent performance from Fitz.

+1. You won't find your QB if you don't look for them....And we have to stop thinking about Losman, Johnson etc. Losman was a raw talent...Barkley is NFL ready with a 4 year starting gig at USC. The Bills just need to pick the QB and stick with him from day 1. This guy is deadly accurate. He would have been a Top-3 pick if he had come out in the draft last year. I hope this team stops picking 1-year wonders and DBs in the 1st round. We need more tougher talent....and before I forget, a QB. KC - Traded for Alex Smith with possibly 2 2nd-round picks. Can't see them spending their top pick on a QB. Jax - Good possibility, especially if Mr. Khan is not sold on Gabbert Oakland - Minor possibility, if Palmer will not reduce his salary and Raiders cut ties with him. Philadelphia - Decent possibility. Kelly has picked Vick for this year. But that doesn't mean he will not draft one and get him up to speed next year. Cleveland - Good possibility. New regime, new HC...May want to have a clean start Detroit - Definite No. Arizona - The biggest threat to us. Even if they get Cassell, he will be a backup. But they also may be more enamored by Barkley than Geno Smith Out of the 7, Definite No: 2 (KC, Detroit) Minor Possibility - 2 (Oakland, Philly) Decent Possibility - 1 (Cleveland) Biggest threat - 1 (Arizona) I believe only Cleveland and Arizona are in between us from getting either Smith or Barkley.

When you QB cannot throw accurate passes consistently, you cannot blame it on the WRs.

With the flat cap this season, many teams are cap-strapped and it is going to be really hard for all these above-average players to get pro-bowl player type contracts. Many of these FAs are going to find that teams are not going to break the bank for them (Wallace, Jennings, Bowe) and they are going to make "disappointing" contracts in April/May. Some will jump on offers before the draft picks, as their value then keeps going down.
