  1. In baseball the stadium has to be an experience because you're asking people to come more often. I'm pretty sure the NFL has proven that more luxury boxes at higher prices do come with new stadiums. I don't think there's anything necessarily wrong with RWS as a football stadium - just the limitations it creates.
  2. I think it's a plus but I don't think it's huge in terms of having much bearing on the sale.
  3. Every dog returns to it's own vomit.
  4. Samwell from Tosh
  5. EJ has no chance, some kid under 30 on SB Nation said so.
  6. Which would mean Williams should be listed as 1 or 2.
  7. No, what does Winston have to do with anything? Should we have drafted him? Should he be our starter this year? Explain why Ponder was 183 for 294 for 2038 yards and 20 TD's vs 8 INT's and was drafted 12th 4 slots ahead of where EJ went?
  8. I get it, but all you're doing is getting duped by someone with good writing skills. He's stating the obvious and acting like he's knows how to trace it back to fundamentals, what a joke. The whack - a - mole reference is smart and it resonates, but that's with almost every college player. EJ was an outstanding college QB and has 10 games under his belt - that's it!
  9. We needed a QB we traded back and drafted EJ and imo, he was the guy to take that year, and I would have felt the same in this years class. If the stars align and you have the number one pick and a QB with little risk is there, how lucky you are (pun intended). I'm glad we have EJ and I'm going to say something that's going to stir some things up with the more proficient "football" posters. I think praising articles like the OP linked are by and large idiotic. "When EJ's thinking footwork, mechanics go all to hell" - how the hell do you know Bud Elliot? Did you ask EJ, "hey on the errand throw were you concentrating on footwork? I thought so because that's when I notice your mechanics go to hell." Get out of here with all your conjecture. Footwork is such an overrated thing especially when you highlight it trying to diminish his size, leadership, work ethic, studies the game, dedicated, very low off the field risk. The guy then says "While I do not know EJ on a personal level", but I do know (since I'm a mind reader) "It is also my opinion that EJ is the type of person who wants to succeed and please his coaches to the point that he internalizes and personalizes criticism that is meant to be situational and related to his play, not his worth as a person." Don't fall for this fellow Bills fans - this article is a farce and EJ hasn't played enough to use this as a resource. This guy is somewhere around 29 years old and isn't some seasoned respected source for scouting. Stop believing more in Bud Elliiot than you do EJ Manuel.
  10. CJ is the type of RB that can't do every aspect of the position, so he's maligned. But what he does well is extraordinary and these are the type of players that collectively make a team better. They don't put teams on their shoulders but they are significant just the same. I want CJ here on this team for another 3-4 years.
  11. As much as Spiller has been up and down, I'm not for getting rid of elite skilled athletes.
  12. The market dictates the price of every athlete.
  13. Who knows how EJ's career will turn out but I'm happy we took him and I'd do it again in that years class and I'd take him out of this years. So I'm a happy fan with the QB I wished we were rolling with.
  14. EJ in the shotgun, fake the draw to the RB and over the middle to Watkins.
  15. I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.
  16. The only part I don't agree with is the "just as good" part of the comparison. I think we're distinctly more talented position by position.
  17. No need to apologize, I don't think you were being disrespectful. I personally agree with you, we deserve the team, and I also believe that Ralph's wishes were to keep the team here and Mary is going to carry them out. However just as I believe that, I couldn't fault anyone for not believing it and being very nervous.
  18. That's mean and hurtful
  19. Too kind of you.
  20. I agree with you 1,000% that they aren't going anywhere. But I don't think the concerned people are sad, I think the concern comes from a legitimate place.
  21. I can tell you from experience that mrags is awesome with doing these type of things. He mailed me 8 tickets so me and my family could go last year. Total stand up guy and a gesture I won't forget.
