Ridiculous. Brees was on a deal of 6 years for 60 Million, that is Fitz money. He won a super bowl for them, he deserves to be the highest paid QB. Hopefully he is cut and Bills pick him up.

As a contrary example, my parents were dirty hippies and divorced in my 19th year. I had no money to go to college, I was on my own so I took a job working as a dishwasher. I got **** flung on me for two years until I was promoted to a slightly better **** job position. During all this time I continued to study history on the side, reading textbooks for fun and to keep my mind sharp. After some few years of working I was able to go back to college when my grandparents decided to pay for my community college. They cut me off after four semesters as an A student. I didn't blame them or think less of them, it was their money. I did have to take out loans though and get TAP and Pell support for my tuition and housing in order to finish my education. I am now an award winning historian in my program and am on track to graduate with an MA in American History in the next year or two. I am a person who used these state and national offerings (Tap and Pell Grants) to make myself better. I feel that they are very useful, as might be expected given my experience. I am a little surprised to hear you say you got little support from your family when $6k is quite a bit of support, I got a similar amount for two years of community college and there are certainly some who have gotten less from their families. I am not here to cast aspersion, even though you'll notice I received a similar amount but came to a different conclusion about the necessity of state support. I believe in social programs and I make no apologies for believing in them, they have assisted me to be better then a permanent suds monkey.

According to the rankings they post in the video Glenn was the 19th best player in the draft and we got him in the 41st(?) spot. How is this a bad move for the Bills? And they consider his solely as an inadequate tackle, isn't his appeal in his ability to play multiple spots? Also, didn't a fourth rounder start the majority of the snaps last year and do so well that the Bills didn't resign their old starter? Maybe Gillmore will have trouble adjusting to the game and be unable to be a stand out corner but don't call CJ Spiller a bust. http://www.profootballfocus.com/blog/2012/05/08/2011s-best-performances-running-backs/ Leodis Mckelvin is a bust and his great physical talents do not translate into CB skills. A better comparison point than CJ would be the very real possibility the Bills just drafted the next Leodis.

Best of luck to VY but please don't start with the QB controversy stuff yet. Fitz is the starter, Thigpen and VY are competing for the backup job. The person who should be most worried is Brad Smith. He was pretty bad as a Bill last year and I am thinking specifically of the Raiders game where he had two wide open receivers and couldn't decide which one to throw it to. Brad Smith was a signing we all thought would have a big impact but as the year wore on he was used less and less in the Wildcat and more as a fourth string wide receiver. Again, please no more about how VY is the savior of this franchise and how he is immensely better than Fitz. Yes it would be nice if the CBS announcers actually knew our Qb's name but VY carries little appeal beyond that. He will compete with Thigpen and if he wins the job then we can have a controversy, but not before he has played a single down in a Bills uniform fellas.

Watching Marcel play at a high level does give some credence to claims that our defense will be vastly improved next year. The Defensive line is just nasty now. But this is the Bills and I am hoping we can generate consistent penetration. I can't wait for the season to start to see how this group of guys does. I definitely want to see Sanchez sandwiched between Marcel and Mario come week one. I haven't been so exited for a Bills season to start since 2005. Go Bills!

Crown Heights, Brooklyn, New York. born and raised in rochester, new york. go bills!

You know they are making a new one right? Also, that they originally used Chinese soldiers but then had to change them to North Korean? Also, it will be awesome!!!!!!!! http://www.reddawnmovienews.com/

Best story ever. I hope Wood always stays with the Bills and crushes all enemies with his giant head and neck.

Haven't we all been expecting McKelvin to play well? Haven't we all been expecting McKelvin to play well since his rookie year? I am not convinced that he will be any better this year than last when he was regularly toasted. In the Raiders game he was beaten consistently by a rookie 5th rounder and Jason Campbell. I do not think he turns it around this year any more than he did last year or the year before that.

in that, Brooks could have been starter but his grades kept him off the field. This is because the LSU coach has a provision in his contract that gives him more money if his starters have better grades. That is what I took from the post "It's like what Lenin said, man." "I am the Walrus." "If you look for the person who will benefit, then . . ." "I am the Walrus." "Shut the F*** up Donny! V. I. Lenin! Vladimir Illyanich Ulionov!

As to LT needing to be an athlete: the Bills coaching staff described a pass blocking LT as one who has a wide range on a play. That either means they have good foot work to create the arc that prevents speed rushers from taking shorter angles to the QB or they have longer arms that accomplish much the same object. This is important because most Qb's are right handed and they tend to keep their eyes on the right side of the field. Therefore, they are less likely to see rushers coming from their left, hence the left side is referred to as the "blind side." This means that a team looking to be successful passing must be able to protect the Qb from pressure coming from the left side and raises the importance of pass blocking for LT's rather then RT's. The RT is often seen as needing less foot speed or able to succeed with shorter arms because the Qb will be able to see the pressure from that side and get rid of the ball quickly. Miami might be trying to get ahead of the curve in the new passing NFL if they do use Martin and Long at RT and LT respectively, in that both tackles are capable pass blockers. But some draft dorks have been questioning Martin for the role as RT as he is seen as two weak and too small to be the prototypical big body on the right. he might grow, which seems likely or the Dolphins will have begun a new league standard of having two capable pass blockers on the field at both Tackle spots.

Says they got Upshaw to replace Jarret Johnson. Lost both starting olb's from last year; that is rough. http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7885596/terrell-suggs-baltimore-ravens-tears-achilles-sources-say

Throwing it out their for post draft prognostications on the record vs the AFCE. Wild prognostications commence! I call a split with New England two wins against the Jets and a split with Miami. Are we good enough to accomplish even this?!? Do you think the Bills will be undefeated in the division!?! Or, will the 2013 season bring a new coach to Buffalo and the long road of rebuilding begun anew??!?

That is exactly what happened to the Brooklyn Dodgers. Won the World Series and left the next year cross country.

If he can kick it out the back of the end zone on kickoffs I will love this seventh round pick.

If you attach to a team as a kid it is fine wherever you live. I started watching the Minnesota Twins after the 1991 World Series. my close friend chose to support the Saints back when he was a kid during the stretch of terrible Saints teams. Now he gets to rag on bandwagon fans. You can live in NYC and support the Patriots or the Red Sox, live in San Francisco and support the Dodgers; these are fine choices. If you switch teams as an adult then it gets more tricky.

Fantastic

Thank you! When Miami takes your team apart, twice! Then I know that defense is absolutely pivotal to improving this teams performance. An improved defense will be the difference between last year and this coming season. I don't want to be swept by Sanchez and Moore again and we shouldn't be! That was some bullSchmidt! Sorry, I know this thread is about Easely but I got side tracked. I am puling for him as a player and a human being to get healthy and get on the field. Either way, the offense didn't bury this team last year it was the awful defensive play.

Using the pick on an offensive player. I was sure we would go wide out and get whoever was best at the position. I have come to the conclusion that the pick should be on defense.

1: Ryan Tannehill QB to the Dolphins 2: Michael Floyd WR to the Seahawks 3: Courtney Upshaw OLB to the Jets 4: David DeCastro G to the Bengals 5: Luke Kuechly LB to the Bills Tremble before my perfect list of complete guesses!

I think we got a solid foundation drafting Losman . . . er, I mean Tannehill at ten. And then trading back up into the first to snag Evans. . . uh, I mean Wright. With these two Bills Dynasty is around the corner as soon as Bledsoe . . . I mean Fitzpatrick goes down!

Chris Brown mocks Barron to the Bills http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-2/Chris-Browns-2012-Mock-Draft/6340ae74-bb8c-464d-bae1-e99cbdb87aab

NIx responds on Toronto Radio station to Casserly's prediction: http://blogs.buffalobills.com/

With the Bills spending draft picks and big free agency money on the defense I think they are going to continue to try and build a credible defensive unit. While they could pursue this through the later rounds, 2-4, I believe they will continue to shore up one of the worst defenses in the league. While the offense has been below average, especially in games against tougher defenses, the defense absolutely buried this team last year. We fired George Edwards and kept the Offensive coaches, I believe this is a vote of confidence in the offense. The Bills' spread Offense seems to be more reliant on the run than the pass and drafting a future QB would run opposite to this trend. Freddie and CJ drive the Offense, make it work, Fitz is an ok point guard, who is adept at handing the ball off. Tannehill, with a strong arm but little experience, would be valuable a few years from now if he pans out but the Bills would have to then work to equip him with better receivers and tight ends. I still believe defense is the pick this year and Tannehill is just a wild card thrown out there to generate interest in trading with the Bills to beat out the Chiefs.

Put any trepidation on this matter to bed. http://www.couriernews.com/view/full_story/18335065/article-Hogs-hire-John-L--Smith-on-interim-basis
