Eventually you're gonna be right. What, like 300 different draft simulations now ? You can come back afterwards and say...see I told ya so !! And of course link the one that was right. Hope your site is getting the hits you are working so hard for. You are what you are. A child in the basement making guesses I suspect. I'm patient. I'll watch what the front office does and I'll support it. jb

. . . Damn straight it could happen. May aggrevate half the people here too. I'm not one of em. I'll take Marrone's pick over the nay-saying populous of tbd.

Its a good question. If you asked me 2 years ago, I might say Fitz, who by the way I also supported. It is hard to say what happened to Fitz toward the end of his tenure with Buffalo. His accuracy suffered. Maybe Lee (QB coach) messed him up ? Hard to say. He tried to carry the team on his shoulders, but just couldn't get er done. I like Fitz and wish him all the best. He's a good man. Bottom line is we'll find out. What I read is Kolb is well suited to the offense Buffalo (allegedly) plans to run. He has a decent line. A decent running game. He needs more targets though. He's hungry and wants to prove himself. I am of the opinion he has a good coaching staff. I anticipate a "dink and dunk" type offense. Hopefully an efficient one. So...If I had to guess, and I was a gambling man I'd say that this upcoming season Kolb is probably a better QB...for us. He might even be our starter 1st half of the season. Likely will be in fact. For now we can only speculate. Me...I hope he's a hundred times better than Fitz !!!! That would make me real happy. jb

I am so done with this team ! LOL !

4.52. 4.55. 4.65. Please note these are unofficial times. jb

Big #51 was definitely a force to reckon with !!

Once I read that comment I went no further. Off-season blather article. What will it mean 6 months from now? Same as it does now. Not a lot. jb

OMG..I almost fell over in my chair after reading this.....and then listening to that. Holy crap that is some funny stuff !!

.....and something Seattle desperately needs with the departure of Matt Flynn. Not a bad pick-up for them at all given their back-up situation and a weakening FA crop. Thigpen makes sense for them.

Pretty darn encouraging right there. Thanks. jb

He was a good player too. I had his card back in the 60's when he played LB for the L.A. Rams. Rams were my team back in those days. Helluva football career. I believe he coached in the USFL too and he made the college hall of fame back in the 80's. Football lost a good man today. jb

Here ya go... http://www.cbssports.com/nfl/blog/eye-on-football/21989463/browns-trade-colt-mccoy-to-49ers-for-late-round-draft-pick

I like the signing. --> It allows Buffalo to be patient, and not "reach" for a QB. (Although...it is becoming more possible Geno may fall to us at #8 given recent developments). --> He should help our new QB as a mentor. (and I believe we'll draft one rounds 1-3 somewhere, probably 2. --> He is reportedly adept at the offense Hacket plans to run. (read it somewhere, sorry no link) --> I "think" he provides more upside potential than Fitz, although I'm not certain of this. --> He "could" flourish, and maybe "surprise" given his fresh start behind what I think is a better OL than zona provided. --> He should make for a good QB competition at training camp. He may make Tarvaris a better player and vice versa given the competition. ---> I believe he's at least as good as Fitz overall and comes cheaper (and no draft picks surrendered) freeing up a little money for other needs. So I'm OK with the signing. Frankly, I would have preferred Matt Hasselback, but this should work. Thanks for creating the thread, OP. jb

I also found that interesting. They appear a pretty mellow fan base based on that data point. Maybe its that gorgeous year round weather ! LOL !

Nope. They'll take him late in the 1st or early in the 2nd is my guess. Kolb will start 2013 season IMHO.

I dont have a lot to offer here but I will comment, and agree with your number 2 scare. It is my opinion this defense will go from under-achieve to over-achieve in ONE season. **** dude, we've got some great players on this D....and a new D-coordinator that has been right up there for the last few years with the Jets.. I believe Pettine is going to make us VERY happy. A guy that will put our players in position to make plays. I'm thinking the story will not be so much Kolb (although I love this signing), but a VASTLY improved defense. I honestly think Wannstedt (sp?) was a lacking DC. I'd bet my net worth on a .500 season this year, and a playoff appearance next. GO BILLS ~!! jb

Care to place a wager on that ? I say Bills win 3 or more. Care to make a wager ? Easy bet I'd think since you are in the know, right? . No ? Put your money where your keyboard is. Thanx, jb

Therein lies my biggest concern with this kid. He does hold onto the ball longer than he should. Conversely....he does do a decent job of buying time in the pocket....... And....making plays when the going is rough. He does need to learn to throw it away when the play isn't there though. jb

I cant comprehend after all thats gone on, how anyone cannot love this signing. A big fat YES for me. Thanks for putting up the poll I was about to put up. Love it or hate it.....this move makes perfect sense. I'm relieved. We have a foundation now at the QB position. Something we lacked with the release of Fitz. Upward and onward from here. Its all good. jb

Besides, we had nothing. I'll side with OBD on this signing all day long. Hell we've got to start somewhere. And...who knows...maybe he'll even flourish with a new start behind a better OL and a better running game. Nothing says we cant still draft a QB either but clearly this gives us more options.

Pretty much this. So this doesn't cost us any draft picks then ? If true then yes, I'd say a pretty solid FA signing. Thanx. EDIT: But we still need to draft a QB ....................I think?. jb

Good stuff. Just cant help but to like this kid. Really hope he gets a shot somewhere. I'll root for him no matter where he ends up. Thanks again, #34. jb

#34...do you have the "precise" link handy ? (link you posted showed search results on my end) Thanks man. jb

Very cool. Thanks for putting this up. jb

What these guys said.
