He’s too short to be a pocket passer,he needs to be rolled out. He doesn’t or can’t step into a pocket because he cannot see. This team is not prepared to play

I have lots of friends,and family who live outside of Buffalo who believe Tyrod a great QB. Why? Because they see the one or two highlight reel specials on TV,and see his lack of turnovers. There is way more to the position than that. Hes a special athlete,but he’s never going to be a guy you can depend on individually to win you a game. I’ll hit at 17,keep Tyrod and hope the kid we take is a QB of the future.

Dilly,dilly is simply Here Here or cheers.

Was at a Halloween party when I heard about the trade. That was the biggest trade in Bills history imo and started the greatness that was to become. I was a season ticket holder for 10 years by that time and that first game was unlike any other before it for me. I’ll never forget that day and trade. Greg Bell was shipped off to LA and the rest is history. Polian made his mark that day.

He’s doing everything he can to pimp his products. Elongating muscles is nothing new but he’s only 40, he has years before concerns with muscle elasticity becomes an issue. He’s been fortunate,and that’s all it is,it’s no magical cocktail for longevity in football. He’s going to get hurt and he will never be a starting QB until age 45 in today’s game. Time will take care of it,regardless. This doesn’t seem to be working well for Gronkowski or Edelman.

Absolutely, he was going to be released. Also, why not control what team a player goes to? Where would have MD end up if released with zero compensation?

Do we know if he asked to come back to play for the Bills? He signed a contract to play here then reneged on it. I don’t see how the Bills are impeding his right to work unless they refused him a roster spot. After the fact he desired to work elsewhere,as though that contract meant nothing.

He will sign at a discount of his previous contract,he's been cut and clearly isn't worth too much. I call BS on the 9ers having a deal in place,he would have been scooped up by said team. I'd take a stab at him if I were the Bills if the price is right.

Good old James. That poor guy couldn't win for nothing,being a black QB during a time when race was truly divided. He wasn't a very good QB though. I always wanted to see what Marlin Briscoe could do behind center. That man was an athlete.

The change in offensive scheme has hurt this running game. Tyrod isn't a pocket QB,he's too short and lacks a quick release. Having Tyrod taking 3,5 or 7 step drops in the pocket,going through progressions isn't his game,he needs to move the pocket often and use his feet. Dennison is trying to change players to fit his scheme,that is why Ducasse started,because of system awareness. Lack of a passing game is killing the running game and vice versa. The argument about having bad receivers is valid if you have a QB that actually targets them. Look at Tyrods history,his looks to the wideouts were minimal,even with Watkins and Woods. The loss of Clay is devestating because that's the guy Tyrod clicks with. We do miss Watkins on deep patterns, and Dennisons system seems to be very conservative with very few deep patterns. Ask the Denver fans about this guy,they couldn't wait until he left. This is the opposite of what happened with Rex,change the D to attempt to run his scheme,but without the proper personnell it didn't work and Dennisons offense will not work here with the players we have. McDermott has made an error in hiring him,he should have looked for someone to keep the offense intact,but we know how coaches think. The only way to get this turned around is for the OC to change his game planning or to find a QB who fits what they are trying to accomplish. Otherwise it's going to be a long season.

I've seen Ritchie at SN Casino in Niagara Falls a couple times. Sat and drank with him at The Chairmans Club. Let me just say this,he's a colorful man. That was during preseason,haven't seen him after. It's a fallacy that there's nothing to do here,but unlike bigger cities, you have to look for it. Ive been all over this country, the cuisine here is second to none. There is theater all over,you have to find it with exception to the obvious. There are areas where per square block we have the most drinking venues in the country. There are nightclubs all over,just not many NYC style clubs. You'll have people in every city who would be negative of it,but there's a reason why many former players and coaches live here. It's a great place to raise a family, decent people and it's reasonable monetarily.

He said what most men think,except he shouldn't have said it. He's just not very smart. He'd be better served to ignore asinine questions from all reporters.

People relocate for various reasons. It used to be work,and weather but Buffalo has been rebounding with very high paying professional jobs. The area I have a home in sees property sales in excess of 1 million because of these professions and homes are not on the market for very long. Weather is a big factor for transplants.

Yes,they are the more comfortable seats. I used to love my club seats. Those bleacher seats hurt like hell and are friggin cold,not to mention the loss of personal space.

You will hear the parting was amicable. Whaley did indeed request to void his contract. That is why he continued on following through with this draft. His reputation remains at stake for other jobs. The scouting staff has been telling anyone that would listen that they were leaving. There's a big disconnect of philosophy between DW and the new coach. Whaley would have drafted anyone other then a white pocket passing QB.

It was rich in DB and to some extent WR,otherwise it wasn't. What positions were our first two picks? Surely you are not mad about not drafting another DB?

I don't understand where people get the opinion that picking a volume of players correlates into filling slots and making an impact. As you have stated,the odds of late round picks coming in and making any impact is small. The preference is quality to quantity. The likelihood that our first three players stick has increased due to their grades and play on the field. A third,fourth and fifth round player statistically doesn't stick. A few thoughts... To the guy who said these three drafted Bills players have flaws, I agree,but every player has flaws. I'm not a Tyrod fan but there wasn't a QB in this draft worth gambling on,but I'm no Andy Reid. I would take a flyer on Chad Kelly today. He looks like a potential pro QB. He's immature right now but the veteran players will straighten him out. Mechanic wise,accuracy,and field smarts he's head and shoulders better then the current project QB that will never amount to much. It has nothing to do with his name or relationship to this area. Fifth rounders statistically have minimal odds of making a team,so this is a good spot to take a gamble. Bill Polian said,paraphrasing,that this kid is the best pure QB in the draft. He could be correct and it's a good spot to pick him at if he's still there. The Bills otherwise must be planning on using their two first rounders to move up in the 2018 draft. Hopefully the mantra of "next year" ends. On the value of trading down in round one. Hearing fans complain about getting fleeced by K.C. Is absurd. If the Cheifs pick the same slot next year as this year we still come out on top point wise. Does everyone think the Cheifs will be that good or better next year? They were 12-4 but I don't think they will come close to that this year based on conference and schedule. Moving closer to one adds value to that pick. It was a good trade.

Amen. This is a good draft on paper and next year we have some ammo in round one.

Offensive linemen is the one position that picking in later rounds has very little bearing on success. There are hundreds of examples of very good to excellent OL picked in later rounds. The value of second rounders to third and beyond is very high,especially in this type of draft. To me,you increase the odds of getting a high quality player in round two comparably. Volume does not necessarily mean your chances of these guys sticking increases. One example is New England. He drafts for volume and it doesn't work. BB not a very good drafter,so what makes anyone think the Bills will do much better?
