[Best bar in Buffalo to watch the draft]

Santora's, within walking distance of the Marriott on Millersport Ave., would be a good choice (I think).

[The QB-centric NFL desperately needs a visionary]

I appreciate your replies!  Someday, somebody is going to re-think this game from the ground up without any deference to convention or tradition.  Then we shall see what we shall see...

[The QB-centric NFL desperately needs a visionary]

30 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said:

The QB centric game IS the revolution.  You would look to change this....so a few teams won’t choose willingly to overpay for a QB?

 

The cap is massive and growing each year.  Everyone will get paid.

 

You want a sport with lots of running and little scoring?  Look into soccer 

I wasn't looking for lots of running and little scoring.  I was looking for variety of any sort, and for nonconformist thinking that could free the game from its present QB-centric structure and strictures.

[The QB-centric NFL desperately needs a visionary]

I can remember when the primary position in the NFL was running back.  Running backs are now paid on a par with kickers and punters.

Over time, the game became so QB-centric that a five-game starter in San Francisco becomes the league's richest player, until (weeks later) a QB with more career losses than wins becomes the league's richest player, until (a few months later) teams are scrambling to give away years of first round picks for any of four or five unproven college quarterbacks.

Could there/will there be a visionary (or a visionary coach/GM/owner troika) who envision a new way -- to draft, pay, trade and play the game on the field -- in such a way that leverages the a$$ets now devoted to QB into a competitively superior team with a totally different approach to the game?

I invite comments from any free thinkers out there who know way more about this game than I do, and who are sick of reading about hand size and how many years of first round draft picks it will cost us to see if Joe Schmoe from Kokomo State will ever pan out.  The game is over-due for a revolution.

[Do all the #1 QB's in the draft want to come to Buffalo?]

As long as we've got a Dave 'n Buster's, we're good to go.

[Who had the strongest arm in NFL history?]

James "Howitzer" Harris of the Buffalo Bills.  (O.K., he was never called "Howitzer," but he should have been!) 

He was the first black QB to ever start a season (1969) opener in the NFL. He was the first QB I ever saw who 'flicked' the ball, effortlessly.

[Josh Rosen’s coach said he would take Darnold 1st]

Rosen's snooty "I don't want to play in Cleveland" rhymes with Hillary Clinton's "deplorable." 

Losers, both.

Thanks.  I don't quite know why, but I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post. 

[Only post if you want to wish zay the best. Get well.]

We're pulling for you and praying for you, Isaiah.

[Tyrod Taylor Thanks Buffalo]

Godspeed, Tyrod Taylor.  You were always a warrior, brave and true.

[Taylor to Browns for 3rd Rd]

Godspeed, Tyrod.  You are a warrior and a winner and we will remember you.

[[Please Change Title]John Murphy]

Moving, in order, from the sublime to the abominable...

Murph is great for the Bills and for Buffalo at large.

Kelso is sometimes interesting and always authoritative, but his technical chalk-talks leave me cold. 
 

Schopp hates his customers almost as much as he hates himself.  What a miserable experience the post-game show has become.

[Why are MNF ratings low this season?]

They've managed to politicize a frickin football game. I give as much of a s*it what the left guard of the New Orleans Saints thinks about politics as the left guard of the New Orleans Saints gives about what I think of politics.

It 'tain't fun anymore.

[I'm addicted to "The Process"]

I'm still in the process of processing The Process, but I know progress when I see it and I saw it in Atlanta.

[Last time the Bills made you cry]

If you're crying over football, your priorities are out of order. Not even as a child did I cry. Anger, sure. Sadness and despair, hell no. Crying is in the same line of lameness as an adult wearing the name of another adult on his back. Never owned a jersey and never cried. If I did either, hopefully someone would shoot me.

This guy has all the macho bona fides. Does he get a plaque or a ribbon, or something?

[Last time the Bills made you cry]

Actually, I believe in the therapeutic power of a good cry. But as for crying over the Bills, the next time will be the first time.

I'm sorry for your great loss. I will pray for you and your family.

Or crazy for loving you?

People are often surprised to hear that he majored in Dialectic Philosophy, with a minor in Mime.

[Ty Dunne/Tim Graham podcast - they swap Marrone stories]

 

 

Your why we can't have nice things. I laughed myself to tears.

Glad for ya.

[Ty Dunne/Tim Graham podcast - they swap Marrone stories]

I listened to the portion about Marrone. Was it supposed to be interesting? Graham took 15 minutes to tell a story that warranted 25 seconds, at best.

[[closed]Start EJ against Miami]

Jeff Tuel doesn't even come close to EJ. Tuel wasn't even good in college. Not saying EJ is the answer, but who knows when given some time.

You missed the point of my post. I merely mentioned Jeff Tuel's worst moment as a standard of comparison for what we saw EJ do yesterday.

 

But love is blind, as they say.
