  1. I disagree... Johnny Unitas ALWAYS did it with class, and even though he had to sit and watch Super Bowl III in agony on the bench for most of that game, he took his lumps and moved on. To the end, Johnny Unitas represented the NFL extremely well and personally in my opinion is still the greatest QB in NFL history despite not playing in the protect-the-QB-at-all-costs, pass happy league we have today.

     

    All Joe Namath did was become a flamboyant icon and is now consistently embarrassing the team he played for and acting like a drunken fool.

     

    We need more Unitases and less Namaths. You never saw 'crew cut' Jack Kemp act like that either, to reference the Bills in all of this.

     

    I didn't mean for that to come off as a knock on Johnny U, loved him. I just happened to love Namath's style and swagger, he was refreshing in a conservative, low-flash world of Unitas, Kemp, Starr, etc.

  2. so just to clarify - a radio station in Virginia, was the first to break this. OK...

     

    Buddy would trade Fred before failing to extend him. He knows Fred is worth at least a 3rd.

     

    Exactly -- there are too many embedded local reporters who would have that story before some dude in Virginia, not to mention the high profile insiders at ESPN, etc.

  3. That's a moot point.

     

    It's not semantics at this juncture.

     

    The discussion is how much he should get paid.

     

    He's apparently asking $7.5 million which is not "dominant #1 WR" money.

     

    The Bills are apparently offering $5.5 million.

     

    The discussion is what the number should be… which number is fairer considering his productivity, etc.

     

    I see your point -- this is how we end up replacing quality starters with bargain priced third round picks. He and Fitz click, keep them together and toss Stevie some Dough

  4. I am inclined to think Stevie doesn't get big money offers as a free agent. Has he really distinguished himself as a dominant #1 WR? A good one, yes, but think back to Eric Moulds in his prime. I'm all for the Bills paying their guys, I really am, but in this case they may benefit from letting this one test the market.

  5. The Bills never pay top dollar for elite players, if they did we would have enjoyed ten years of Nate Clements and Antoine Winfield as our CB tandem. They save their money to overpay average veterans like Kelsay and Fitz, or high value bargains like George Wilson and Kyle Williams.

     

    Can't wait to see how they operate when teams are forced to spend to the cap -- I predict a 70 million dollar extension for Tashard Choice.
