The peeing in cereal comment is so boring.

I don't really know why, but Young makes me worry less about Fitz. I guess I think he can be as good. Totally different style, but as good.

Thank you for helping me prove my point.

Um how often do rookie 3rd round draft picks supplant a veteran as a backup? I'm not firm, I'm right. You clearly don't understand the role of the backup QB position in the NFL.

Isn't the "how you feel" croud mostly the ones that have the extreme views? I'd like to think the folks in the middle are talking about finer points. You said "They looked sloppy and some players missed tackles, assignments and a few looked flat out bad." Is it fair to say you're not talking about finer points of the players, you've given up on the entire season, and aren't saying something legitimate?

Oh I know that's what I'm saying. There's a rationale in the middle of those two extremes. For example K-9's take is that we looked bad in pre season last year, we look bad this year, doesn't mean anything. That line of thinking would mean that the Bills new regime takes the pre season solely and strictly as an exercise in evaluation talent. My take is that they are trying to stop the other team and put together a drive to score everytime they take the field. And it isn't happening. I don't by any means think the season is a bust, but I do think it shows we are having issues. I believe they are working on them, but there's things to work out. Lastly my point is why can't K-9 and I have two views and he's not being way too optimistic and I'm not some Whiney fan?

The 3rd round draft pick rookie is not their insurance policy of RG3 goes down, especially early in the season. That player is Grossman. Where do you people come up with this stuff? And you're firm about it.

Why does it have to be either blind faith or you're a pessimist if you say something negative? I saw what I saw. The starters didn't look good in both games. "Well the Bills didn't game plan and other teams did?" Ok, Why did the Vikings and Redskins find time or it to be necessary to scheme? Why wouldn't we find it necessary? Are we so veteran or on the same page we don't find it necessary to put together drives on offense or stop the other team from doing what ever they want offensively to us?

Witless post.

You act like he's been with us for 10 years. This is his second season with us. So using words like "I always wonder why he continues to be on the roster", just makes you look silly. Yes Keith Ellison was undersized for an NFL linebacker, but for the record the guy played his butt off for us, overacheived even. How does that compare to Thigpen? This post is totally wrong.

6'3" 209 Lbs is terrible size. He better put on at least 15 lbs to have adequete size. The Bills don't need a development QB. This team is built to win soon in regards to players. It's either Fitz or a move needs to be made to find a starter, and with the way rookies are coming in and proving themselves that's the route to go IMO if Fitz proves to not be the answer. But trading our 3rd round draft pick at one of our most crucial need positions would be regressive.

I wanted to draft John Skelton. I still have a feeling he's going to be very good.

Did you hear that interview? Oh boy.

Compared to Fitz he looked like he should start. I'm worried.

Thanks to the poster for this information. I really hope he's ok and comes back healthy with no side effects from this unfortunate situation.

I'm not a Tebow lover or anything, but this has been proven not to be true.

I am so sorry. Do you think you could ever forgive me or at least forget what I've done?

zzzzzzz. Yeah ESPN stop doing what makes you money.

Think you may have posted in the wrong thread.

Yes it is.

Nicely said.

I live in Charlotte NC and was in Buffalo a couple of weeks ago on vacation. I'm a fan with no real experience of evaluating players. But I went to spring training August 3rd and thought Easley looked very good. I paid close attention to the receivers not only because that's one of more interesting battles, but because a couple days prior to the 3rd Chan mentioned he didn't see much out of them. In saying all the above I thought Easley showed promise. He caught some nice balls, showed good hands, looked healthy, and basically represented himself well in that particular practice in my opinion.

I honestly thought they were desperate enough at WR to have to put up with him. I was wrong.

Nix has done a very nice job, so it's hard to be too critical. But I'm not sure I understand the Meachem or nothing WR approach. This team desperately needs an experienced WR. I think guys like Plax, T.O., Lloyd, would be perfect for that role. I'm not sure why Nix stopped looking and so suddenly became ok with our situation as soon as Meachem signed with another team. Obviously we aren't privy to what they talk about, but the total inactivity seems to suggest.

How do you mean? New England has been getting the raw end of their last several moves.
