Kyle's skill set isn't meant for isolation with a tackle.

It allows the market to identify Glenn's value if the two sides can't agree. However you could find yourself in a Charles Clay type of situation. You do not get any compensation under the transition tag. That would be the non exclusive franchise tag.

How dare they show a picture of Ferguson in the red helmet when it didn't happen until Kelly demanded it.

Room clearing

This is precisely why as someone else suggested, the transition tag be used.

I totally disagree. I don't absolve Rex for how Mario played completely but you can't put trust in Mario over Glenn - just on that aspect alone. You don't let a 26 year old fantastic left tackle go - especially when the cap is going up approximately 10 million.

I remember you guys making that bet. Never good to welch on a bet so good on you for taking your medicine.

Because he wrote this article for people that think/act like you.

What started ruining his credibility IMO is when he leaned towards teams should do what he thinks. He mocks teams for picking players outside of his rankings. If he would just stick to saying things like "Ok, I had that player lower in my rankings based on personal research and what I've heard from teams, but obviously they like what they see". Instead he interjects disgust. I guess that's fine when your rankings are more right then wrong. Because Kiper is so wrong so often - he lives in the world he created. Now he's having to deal with not only ESPN bringing in others to combat him live as they laugh at him - he subjects himself to widespread criticism from competing networks, fans, media, NFL alumni and NFL teams themselves.

Are you sure? I don't see how we could keep him even at a reduced contract - with all the other work to do in signing other pending FA's. I don't think there's a conspiracy or anything but the fact he dogged it - is making it much easier in public opinion. I think he was gone either way.

"KING: RACIAL DOUBLE STANDARD BETWEEN CAM NEWTON AND PEYTON MANNING" I'm out

Does Mario get released even if he had 15 sacks?

I stand corrected. I did not know that.

I'm just suggesting to the level you could be embarrassed as a fan - it's embarrassing. I have a lot of other things in life more important as I know you do - so I'm not trying to over dramatize. I just think Bills fans are one of the unique fan bases that take exception to this type of stuff.

I believe he'll still get paid unless there was something in his Philly contract (doubtful) and his salary will go against the cap.

I get it but suggesting fans won't jump to conclusions is naive. But I reject the notion we should be like Pats fans as you suggest - and rap our support around Shady. I think we should wait until the details come out for the legal side of this argument - but it's ok to be pissed he embarrassed us.

I disagree JJ. I think it's good that we're one of the last few cities that doesn't like their athletes getting into trouble. Obviously innocent until proven has to be preserved - but this is an opinion board. Anger that a player involved at all is not taken well by Bills fans and I think I know why. It's tough being a fan of this team. I live out of town and except the ridicule I receive from friends that know I'm a fan - and the comments I get when wearing apparel. We accept this and often use it to bind us together stronger. We don't like when players embarrass us and disrespect our loyalty.

"Whew, now maybe they'll stop unfairly criticizing my brother."

You don't want to give Rex the benefit of the doubt but you will to Mario. Mario has had down years too - so to just say one is great at what they do and not the other, isn't a fair assessment.

Just because they are police officers as their job doesn't mean they aren't at fault or partially. They were off duty so they are subject to act accordingly just like any other citizen. As much respect as I have for police officers in general and am thankful for the job they do - they can have a I can't be messed with attitude similar to an athlete. An argument about a bottle of champagne sounds ridiculous but it's about who threw the first punch. If the officers just so happened to lose the fight doesn't mean they didn't start it. We'll just have to wait for the facts to come out.

Where did you find this pic of Foles?

"winning"

i think this is all a bunch of hog wash. I like Dilfer and find him one of the easier personalities to listen to - but lets be clear, he was one awful QB. Let's not act like he has a special sense to see things. These modern coaches aren't teachers because they don't have time/longevity. For example Greg Roman has a lot to teach - but Trent Dilfer is his QB - he doesn't have time to teach Dilfer so much about the game to overcome what he can't physically do - so he tries his best and game plans around Dilfer's game - it doesn't work and Roman gets fired. That's a Trent Dilfer issue.

Wade's lack of charisma doesn't show in his win loss record as a head coach - and I'd say he's well beyond a stellar D coordinator, instead one of the great defensive minds of all time.
