Guys a great defensive coach. He'll redeem himself.

Bottom ticker on ESPN is saying Revis is seeking similar deal as Bills Mario Williams. There's no way we can entertain giving up picks and that kind of money. I think these kind of statements are severely hurting the Jets ability to trade him. I'd be willing to guess that he gets cut or they can only get a 3rd or 4th round pick for him.

I'm not sure what the heck you are saying.

You can't just say let's draft a QB next year. The chances of winning 5 or more games are too great and that puts you out of the running. I do recognize that if Fitz gets cut we are quarterbackless, and Campbell could work. But we need to perform due diligence and pick a QB this year to be our future.

But they have recognized failing QB's and moved on to find another one.

I couldn't disagree more. I think there are several first round talent QB's coming out. And I think this years second tear is far and above last years. Osweiler, Wilson, Moore, Weeden, Cousins, Foles, Tannehill, Keenum don't compare IMO to this years guys.

This is definitely "looking towards the positive side of the future".

You don't get to add them together to get an 85% chance. So if you draft two in the first round you get a 100% chance?

What you were more disappointed not getting Orakpo over Ngata?

How you got Flacco and Super Bowl out of what I said is beyond me.

I think you're picking on the wrong guy. It's not that Stevie won't attempt the types of catches you're describing, it's that his QB doesn't throw those kind of balls. What the people questioning your position are saying is that we don't know what Stevie would do, and what his maximum potential as a WR is, because our QB sucks.

I'm just not sure I understand your theory. Don't reach for needs but take stabs at QB's in round 3 or so? Are you saying Patterson and CJ would be electric with Fitz? Another definition of reach is to arrive at. I think the Bills will trust their evaluation and arrive at a decision for a QB earlier than the 3rd. I agree that it's a difficult QB class to judge but I also think the overall talent is excellent. In other words there's no obvious top flight QB's, but in years past there's been a huge drop. To me this year is tough only because there's so many good choices.

Your first sentence is a flat out fabrication. You're embellishing so I'll respond by saying I couldn't disagree more. I think Chandler has excellent hands.

As if we need Jerry Sullivan to show us the light and we don't have any past experience to draw pessimism from. I don't get the point, lets get upset before they coach a down?

I'm surprised anyone would want Glennon. I live in Charlotte NC with a lot of NC State grads and they can't believe he's being considered as one of the top QB's. They say he can throw the ball 75 yds, but chooses to throw it 5 yards all game long. To me his skill set doesn't even compare to Zac Dysert's.

He might be able to play corner, but that's someone with a safety's mentality.

Not only is "Stop hiring who "you know", when others have much better track" ridiculous, it's also not true. His entire defensive staff are people he didn't "know", because they have a "track record". So you don't want him to hire anyone he knows? Do you have a history of working with Mike? “No, but I have admired his work for a number of years and his reputation in this league is impeccable. Mike comes highly recommended from a number of sources, both within and outside the NFL.”

No weapon, weep weep. No weapon, weep weep. Zzzzzzzzzzzzzz. I can't stand Ray Lewis.

I think you make valid points towards an argument against him, but I just think the broad stroke of looking at history of MAC QB's is shortsided. IMO, saying his team didn't win, so he can't play in the NFL is over simplifying the process.

But the same argument can be made in reverse. We can all reference winning record QB's from major conferences that haven't had success in the NFL. It's about breaking down the individual, not the history of MAC QB's.

How much cap space do you think we have? You've got about $50 million in FA signings listed here after Byrd and Levitre, so you must think we have nearly $65 million.

We've debated this before. C'mon man, I showed you a couple areas where you at least had to think about changing your position on him. Plus how the hell do you say "anybody that has watched him play and knows what they're talking about know that he's terrible, but I'd draft him in the fourth round"? You don't take anybody you think is terrible in the fourth round.

This is going to be a difficult situation for the Bills FO. I think the only way we keep Levitre is to tag him for one more season. He mentioned he wasn't offered a contract, which can sound like the Bills haven't done anything, but could it be his agent didn't ask for one? I think it's going to be a long negotiation with Byrd, which may force a tag to be necessary to continue to work on it next year, which could cause Levitre to walk.

I never understand why we keep asking this question. There isn't anything that can be learned. The fact is coaches fail in groves coming from everywhere. There's only one true formula : Get an excellent QB, a competent coach, and hope the chemistry between them is strong.

No way he comes that cheap.
