It's also evidence that he has potential, something that our other back-up lacks. And if there's one thing I hate about this regime, it's putting all their eggs in one basket. If TT goes down, EJ or Money Man aren't getting us to the playoffs. They'll, at best, play .500 ball. So let's grab somebody who can be somebody.

It's fine. He'll feel "respected" if he earns the $19M because we'll do everything to give it to him.

Not to mention 12th in the NFL, is, by definition, an above average unit.

Because I meant this.

Jags game, lost his man for GW score, IIRC. Pats part two, the awful James White tackle on the wheel, for the go-ahead TD IIRC. I'm not saying he lost the games on his own, or that's he's complete trash. But he had a handful of bad plays that you could look back at and say "Hey, if Graham didn't screw up here, we probably win." It's not the fact that he didn't make a great play, he didn't make any sort of play. He gapped. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GwrOGk_OXMk

That's usually the difference between winning and losing, and it sure was in the Bills case.

Sorry, but given the choice between a Sims- or Tuel-type, or a guy with actual talent who is a headcase, I'm taking the talent. And frankly, I find the bolded downright offensive.

Give me this man! http://youtu.be/TG_pEGVpQfc

Was there ever a post saying, "Call me when he makes a Pro Bowl?" I've never heard of anyone setting that as a benchmark. Ever.

You're talking out of both sides of your mouth. You can't give Rex credit when he lobbies for a DE in the first round, and then not also blame him when he doesn't lobby for a QB or a WR. Or not blame him strictly for the opportunity cost. If you want to provide some evidence that he wanted someone on offense, and Idzik said no, then I'll change my tune.

Some are good defensive players. I'm pointing out that IMO, it's very likely Rex was the partial architect of his own fate. I tohught you were referring to Tuesday's post, who said: Which I disagree with entirely. Rex loved Sanchez and stuck by him for 3/4's of his tenure. He wasn't pounding on the table for a QB. Then, he got Geno, who admittedly sucked. But, again, Rex was pounding on the table for Richardson, for Pryor, for Milliner, and it's hard to find a QB when you don't try to draft one. Ask the Bills. And the secondary was in shambles, despite Rex's picks. Because they weren't successful. Rex takes blame for that. And no, I don't think Bowles is successful without Marshall and Fitz, but he made those moves. Rex could've traded for Fitz. He could've drafted a WR instead of another DB or DE. How is that not on him?

What? 2014 1st rounder, Calvin Pryor, DB. 2014 3rd rounder, Dexter McDougle, DB 2013 1st rounder, Dee Milliner, DB 2013 1st rounder, Sheldon Richardson, DE 2012 1st rounder, Quinton Coples, DE 2012 3rd rounder, Demario Davis, LB 2011 1st rounder, Mo Wilk, DT 2011 3rd rounder, Kenrick Ellis, DT 2010 1st rounder, Kyle Wilson, DB Are we really sitting here and saying Rex had no input on these picks and that no one "gave him what he needed?" Memes created, indeed. Rex gets partial credit for Darby, but Milliner just wasn't his fault!

And you cut him if you can't or won't carry him. The Bills carried 4 QB's all preseason, IIRC.

Even if you are planning to throw Kyle at NT, how do you justify that when you could easily cut him and use his money on a true NT like Knighton?

Are you really shocked that when you made an appeal to authority, someone questioned that authority?

Link? And I sorta see what you're saying right now. I wasn't thinking of the line running free on not obvious passing downs. But can you show me our nickel/dime sack % vs. our base?

I was just poking fun at you. I don't buy the Spikes' angle, just because he's never been great at coverage, and pass defense is where the '15 defense really struggled. He may have had some synergistic/leadership and run defense help in '14, but that's about it, IMO.

Yeah but injuries and Brandon Spikes bro. Yes.

Robbing the same train. I don't buy it.

6 months ago I would've said 3rd, but with all our holes now, I doubt we look at all.

Nope. I think you draft a guy to stash on the bench for a year or two just in case.

I thought you thought Obamacare was working great?

So even with your admitted reluctance to aspects of Bernie's "plan," you still opine that folks disagree due to a white/non-white dichotomy and that Bernie "makes too much sense?" I mean, it doesn't sound like you're leery about "free" college because you're afraid of the non-whites.

I don't disagree with the bolded at all. Nor do I think Cook has a better chance of being the guy than Tyrod. You're projecting.
