Well, it is April...

I want to respond that our biggest loss was keeping Rex Ryan. But, that would make me a hater, and I don't want to be that.

IMO, Mario will play like he has something to prove-- because he does. And, he has the ability. I think it's foolish to judge him based only on last season when he did, apparently, quit.

Trade Tyrod for Kaepernick? Let me think about that for a minute... ...NO.

Man, we've got a lot of talent walking out the door...

Is last season's "win now" strategy turning into this season's "win last season" strategy?

I'm sorry, is the premise of this thread that if Tyrod turns out to be a great QB, then we can't afford him? If so, I'm sure we can find another mediocre QB around somewhere.

Certainly a fair assessment. And, I wouldn't see any reason to believe that he would return to form next season playing for the same DC and HC. That being said, I hate that he went to Miami, because I also don't see any reason why he couldn't return to form somewhere else, and it would suck if that place is Miami. Writers who aren't Bills fans (or Jets fans, for that matter) don't understand a lot about Rex Ryan.

Are you suggesting there is a QB in this draft worth more than our current 19th pick? That's a pretty complicated question, really. In the unlikely event Wentz became available beyond the second pick, how much sacrifice would he be worth? Seems like he was barely on anybody's radar until the combine. Goff? Is he worth more than our 19th?

It's a shame he lost last season to injury. I was really looking forward to see what his contribution would have been. I think he's a really interesting player with a versatile skill set, and an admirable character. Sorry to see him go.

I would prefer not to share your pessimistic, cynical viewpoint. Let me reiterate: I would prefer not to share, your pessimistic,cynical viewpoint, regardless of how rational, or historically relevant it might be, i would prefer to look forward to the possibilities that things could, in a way, move forward to a more...... sh*t.....

There's an argument to be made. If Mario had played (been allowed to play?) as well as he did the season prior, how would this play out? And, how much would he be worth?

I think I recall someone floating the idea in a different thread that Gilmore should be traded, and either Cromartie, or a draft pick should replace him. A terrible idea, sure, but it is a conversation. And, I also recall numerous posts during the regular season shouting about how Tyrod was "not the answer." I can only assume that there are plenty of people who still feel that way, and I think it's an interesting conversation to find out who they would prefer. That is the conversation I wanted to start. Plus, Tyrod could always slip on a rubber mat...

Well, sure. But the poll isn't who will (obviously) be our starter, but who should (in your opinion) be our starter. This is purely a poll of what you would like to see. Not what you will likely see. Rex Ryan will be our HC... (And Firechan, always the pot-stirrer, voted for Carson Wentz. Not everyone loves TT!)

I know it's a little early for any sort of speculation. But, being so early in the season, things are as open, and as up-in-the-air as they will ever be. So, I thought this might be an interesting poll-- especially if people are willing to elaborate. The options include our current roster, the top eight draft prospects, and the top eight free agents. Who should be our starting, and back up quarterbacks for 2016?

If Leo's an idiot because he was slow picking up Rex's defense, then there are a lot of idiots on our D. That being said, I would agree that, for whatever reason, Cro is the better CB, even if it is just for a Rex defense.But, I assume, his asking price would be pretty high for a second string player.

Just saw this leaked footage of Newton having a conversation with Goodell, post-game:

I agree with this. And, IMO, he's the most versatile player in our D backfield. He proved that when he transitioned to S from CB the year prior, and lead our team in tackles. How do you bag on the guy who was our best tackler?

Traffic.

I loath(ed) him.

Dick Jauron.

Having lived in Los Angeles for the last 25 years, this is great news to me. I'll always be a Bills fan first, but now I can be a fan of two teams that won't make the playoffs, year, after year, after year......

Rex Ryan feels the pressure for his dismal defensive showing and scapegoats Thurman. (EXTRA-BOLD: Brings in his brother to replace him.)

So what?

Not sure I agree with that last sentence...
