White Linen

He always seemed like a pretty decent kid to me. It's obvious he's a hard worker too - so he's not the lazy bum kind. I'm shocked that he couldn't overcome this and stay straight.

I have read your posts. I'm saying we just don't know to what level Whaley was either for or against Rex being hired. I don't think the word for the Rex hiring was peculiar but him reporting to the owner certainly is.

Ok, so long as you're ok with Whaley getting credit for Roman and the #1 rushing team in the NFL.

But you'll never know the extent of Whaley's approval or disapproval of Ryan - so how can you judge that he should have been "more strenuous"? You're linking his longevity to that decision with no knowledge of that possibility.

I'd say Nix was a part of Whaley's development so Nix deserves credit for beginning the talent overhaul of the Bills at the same time grooming our next GM. Whaley deserves a lot of credit working his way up. http://www.sbnation.com/nfl/2013/5/14/4328444/doug-whaley-bills-general-manger-buddy-nix Now Whaley has come into his own and is very well respected. We're lucky to have one of the young great minds in the NFL.

Plus he wouldn't have hit his contract escalators that got him out of his 3rd year - that's even if the Broncos would have agreed to be as gracious as we were.

It would surprise me if they drafted any of the players they've brought in for a visit thus far.

Just think it's probably more harmless pride than braggadocious ..... but I get what you mean, it's kinda silly either way.

It is a fact and it's something he's proud of. I don't see too much wrong with it.

Looks like he can play the inside pretty well to from some stuff I've looked at. http://www.nfl.com/videos/tennessee-titans/0ap2000000214912/All-22-Zach-Brown-takedowns

I haven't felt this good about a QB for the Bills since Bledsoe signed. He's good and he's got a legit shot at being very good. Very easy young man to root for - and the website is very well done.

Thank you, excellent read. Brown seems like a fantastic athlete that can "do anything".

We're fortunate to have Whaley. It's so obvious that he and his scouts are on top of their game. It's not hard to imagine them looking back at their draft scouting notes on players currently in the NFL and evaluating their status. When we have brought in players and didn't sign them - I'm ultra comfortable with their decisions.

You only keep him if he beats out the other WR's that come to camp - if he does that I'm good with it - if he gets beat out, bye.

Neither is true.

Isn't an April Fools prank supposed to be a "wow" type of joke?

Kaep has his problems and needs an experienced coordinator - but that team was a hot mess last year. I mean Tomsula got fired after one year - not exactly the situation a QB can thrive in. One of if not the worst rosters in all of the NFL.

and moved up

I think the difference in accuracy is a huge number. I think that's a foundation that can be built upon to separate him.

Of course I'm all for issuing bad contracts - you can't have a winning team without them.

I guess not in that regard. But knees aren't looked at as a mandate by the league for player protection. To me you're mixing player and team protection and it just seems like they don't go together to me. This CTE thing should be about players only - period. I could give a rats a$$ about a team losing out on performance/money paid out because the player has it.

Sure has

Why do you have to insult? I just think your contradicting yourself. You want the team and the player to be protected against CTE. You don't see the weakness in that?

Then why does it have to be before signing a player to a long term contract? If regular testing was done then testing prior to a long term contract would or could be exclusive. Regular testing might be better but ejections for dangerous hits is also something positive. Why are you trying to mutually exclude them?

Wow
