  1.  

    IMO, the Bills totally !@#$ed him over two contracts ago. He was very resentful of it, rightfully so. But he always gave his all. He's been better to the team than they have been to him. Hopefully he will have a lifetime job with the organization, kind of the way Jerry Butler had a long time ambassador role. The Bills owe it to him.

    Jerry Butler worked with the Bills front office for 7 years before moving on and and doing the same with Cleveland for 12 years.

    He was fired in 2011. I hope Freddy never ends up in Cleveland, or God forbid, an AFC east opponents FO. That's a nauseating scenario.

  2. If you look around the league at some of the best tight ends over the last 30 yearsand current es lie Gronk (rd. 2), Gates, Jimmy Graham (3rd) , Jason Witten (3rd) , Julius Thomas (4Th) theres a vast majority that were not 1st round picks much less top 10's.es, Tony Gonzales was picked by the Chiefs in the first round at 13 but he never won a super bowl. Vernon Davis was another first roundera who hs not won a SB. Do you really want to spend a top 10 pick on a situational receiver who MIGHT be able to block or would you rather get the best impact linebacker (Mack?), a homerun wr or an offensive tackle you can plug in for the next 10 years? I just don't get the draft a TE in the top 10 crowd. .I think the Bills can do better at number 9.

  3. I agree with the douchebagginess assessment of Manziel and I also think that finn has a point asking if we all need a resume to post thoughts on here. It seems like theres a misguided snobbiness on TBD and SOME posters think they're "experts" just because of the huge numbers of

    posts they have put on the board. Being wrong 15,000 times just makes one an expert douchebag.

     

    Back to the 9th draft slot, why would the Bills draft another qb in the 1st round when they still don't know if EJ is the man ?

    I'd draft Clemson WR Sammy Watkins after watching his 16 catches for 227 yards and 2 td's vs. Ohio St. in the Orange Bowl

    or UB lb Kahlil Mack. They're both huge playmakers and what the Bills lack. Just my douchebag opinion.

  4. Suck for Luck? How about Luck sucks?

     

     

    Because he does. Just like I said he would. Just like his daddy did.

     

    When I made these claims it were as if I were claiming that an established Hall of Famer was no good. It was a given that Luck would be Unitas and that The Colts were smart to let Manning walk. LOL.

     

    I don't think any QB has ever succeeded in the NFL when he had a father that was a horrible quarterback and I don't think anyone has ever succeeded as an NFL QB with a dad named Oliver. Luck has both. He was a guaranteed bust and he is busting.

     

    I think there are other teams stuck like the Colts with a bad QB who does just enough to keep his job. Matt Ryan, Matt Schaub, Drew Stafford, Andy Dalton, Talleywhacker, Romo, Rivers, A. Smith?

     

    These guys will never win but their teams are tied to them long term. Luck is just the worst example.

     

    At least with EJ we can wait and see for a year and then cut bait if we have the guts. I think he deserves a year to prove something, but you have to have guts. No way will Irsay have the guts to cut loser boy.

  5. I know a kid who plays at the Cuse right now, and he knows the staff. I asked him about these guys and he gave me a brief introduction about them... I copied and pasted it...

     

    "They a good group together the db coach real he know he know what he doing Marrone a cool dude too it just he gone have to get used to the team and then err thing should be good".

     

    It's not much, but this is a great kid and I know he would tell the truth if there was anything bad to say about them.

    Does anyone know if theres a 24/7/365 on call interpreter at TBD to decipher the code of this ancient language ?
  6. I too have been a defender of Nix. However, there comes a time when you have to be honest with yourself. He has sorely missed on acquiring the most important position in sports. He has been head if football operations for 3 years and where are the Bills? Lost. What is his record as director of all football operations. Well well below .500.

     

     

    I'm not getting this argument. The fact that this QB class is suspect is why we need to draft more than one. If we were getting an Andrew Luck we wouldn't need to draft more than 1.

     

    The reason you are not "getting this argument" is that you're fixated on the QB position. if you take an honest look at our beloved Bills you would see that we desperately need LB'ers, our WR corps is Stevie Johnson and nobody, our only decent TE is coming off ACL surgery on his knee and may not be up to par, our DB's are thin or overmatched, and our OL has lost starter andy Levitre while Eric Pears is coming back from an injury. Its a deep draft at almost every position but QB and you want to go after 3 QB's with our first 3 picks ? I'd say thats a bit myopic and a recipe for disaster. I'd draft one, sign Kolb or Flynn, then sign a FA college qb with a major arm who needs time to develop (Peter Lalich-Great talent-Maturity issues). I share your frustration with the Bills qb position but panic is not the way to build a team.

  7. No fan of the Bills should be saying they think another team is bad, or the worst team in the NFL, because there are twice as many people saying that about the Bills. At this point, the Bills are nosediving into an even worse team, so many holes, does it really matter?

    Thats why it might not be such a gamble to trade this years pick for long range gain.

    We all know its a bad team that needs a top qb, not a fringe guy who might be another Carson Palmer, Andy Dalton, Christian Ponder,etc.

    We might get lucky and find another Russell wilson but thats just pure luck. All 32 teams passed on him at least twice including Seattle.

  8. I have a couple of problems with this idea:

     

    1) How do you pick which team you think is going to flop? Because if you're going to give them two first round talents, they may might not completely bomb. It seems like whoever bombs each year keeps changing, but who stays in the top 10 is pretty consistent.

    2) There is real talent in this draft. It may not be quite where we want it, but if we are resigned to a flop year, I would much rather see a few talented rookies brought in and be built in anticipation.

     

    Trading back in the draft for more picks? Yes, this seems like the year to do it. Gambling it all on getting two picks next year, who might, MIGHT give us a shot at a franchise QB which we very may well get in the second round doesn't seem like the answer.

     

    Its purely a gamble guessing which team is going to flop. I'm sure other teams would look at the Bills as one of those "flop" teams.

    Thats why I mentioned Jacksonville, Oakland, Cleveland and Arizona as possible trading partners. I actually left out the team that I think

    may have the worst record in football this year as they're a divisoional rival and most teams shy from trading in division................

    J-E-T-S, J-E-T-S, J-E-T-S

    I honestly believe they may be the worst team in the NFL with all of the vets released and their poor personnel moves.

  9. Just wondering here, but since the Bills are in obvious re-building mode for the umpteenth time would you trade the Bills 8th pick overall this year to a team that might be bad enough to give the bills a chance at the #1 overall pick in 2014 ? The trade would have to bring back the other teams 2nd round pick this year and their number 1 in 2014. The trade would also have to be with a team that is likely to have a poor record in 2013.Teams like Jacksonville, Oakland, Cleveland and maybe Arizona need more help than just a 1st round pick (as the Bills do) and since the 2014 draft has better qb's it might pay off in the long term to lose now, win later. We are all tired of the Bills chronic losing but I'm looking at the long term success of the Bills and would put up with more pain now if it pays off in future wins.

  10. I'm going to go kind of off the board and say Todd Collins. The question wasn't who was the biggest bust in buffalo history, it was the most disappointing pick. Collins was picked to be the heir apparent to Jim Kelly, and for all intents and purposes had all of the tools to be a success in the NFL. He was supposed to be the guy to keep the dynasty going or at least to keep us a float. Instead he bombed, and we have been mired in mediocre QB play since(excluding one year of Doug Flutie).

     

    Excellent choice and thats exactly how I meant it, most DISAPPOINTING pick.

    I still think of Ronnie Harmon as one of the more disappointing picks. There were rumors lasting til present day of him throwing the game in the 1986

    Rose Bowl where Harmon fumbled 4 times, all in the first half! I could not believe the Bills drafted a rb who performed so poorly in a huge game. Then Harmon repeated his act of coming up small in the Bills playoff loss at Cleveland when he made "the drop" in the endzone with seconds left that would have won the game. Heres a link to the Harmon possibly throwing the Rose Bowl incident.

    for the Bills. I've always wondered about that drop after Harmons 4 fumble Rose Bowl. Heres a link

  11. The list is long but heres my picks in football, hockey and basketball. I did not include baseball as Buffalo is a farm team.

     

    Football: Walt Patulski , DE Notre Dame, #1 overall pick 1972. Not a great draft year period.

    Almost as big of a bust as the Raiders JaMarcus Russell and his purple drank

    Honorable mention: Perry Tuttle, Clemson WR

     

    Basketball: Elmore Smith, "The Big E", Number 3 overall pick of the Buffalo Braves in 1971.

    An excellent rebounder but that was his whole game.

     

    Hockey: Morris Titanic, defenseman selected number 12 overall by the Sabres in 1973.

    Career stats: 17 games, 0 goals, 0 assists, 0 penalty minutes.

     

    Looking forward to seeing names added to this motley crew
