  1. Can we get through the freaking draft before we criticize anything about this offseason? Especially considering the things we did and clearly attempted to do but guys took hometown discounts--Bulaga.

     

    If they trade for Mathis. ...if they draft a TE first. Boom. Needs addressed Mike. Idiot.

     

    This clown is flat out trolling Buffalo fans now. I unfollowed the guy bc he's worthless and doesn't tell me anything I can't learn from Graham or Carucci and serious reporters.

  2. So is this what's happening:

     

    Miami is clearly working out with Clay what a long term deal will be.

     

    They know from Clays people what the Bills offer is.

     

    If Miami can't come close to that, there still could be a chance he signs our offer (if we submit) being good with coming here, or Miami matching it.

     

    And, couldn't his people go to Buffalo and say this is what they offered us---will you go beyond that?

  3. I'm not so sure. I think he does have sources within the organization. I just think his football knowledge is that of an average fan maybe less.

     

    His analysis of our draft plans in the past tell me he does have some good intel.

  4. If you want to count Wilson, Kap, Cam, fine...but outside of Luck IMO there hasn't been a truly great QB drafted since probably before 2008 maybe longer. Those guys I named I think the jury is still out on how great they can be. So I'm not ready to call them elite.

     

    So I do think we have a problem and I think it starts at the High School level. Everyone is going to some variation of Oregon's scheme. Which means they are sacrificing the traditional pocket guy for a more mobile QB. Which is great for winning games with speed and trying to push the pace, etc (which ironically is tough to do in high school bc of the officials--it's not the same as college). But not so good for developing a QB. I've seen as a coach our team go with the kid who's far more athletic then the kid who's the better thrower. I've seen kids leave high schools for this reason to go to one where they think they'll play. It's crazy.

     

    Also, the constant need for plays coming in from the sideline makes them robotic. Not all, but it's not like they're being coached to take risks---the opposite. They're being coached to take what's given. That's the point of the sideline calls. All game. Is that beneficial for QB development? Yes you want to take advantage of what is given you, but come the NFL, well....this is the big time.....Defenses are too good and aren't going to let you take advantage. You gotta make plays.

     

    Luck Brady Flacco and Peyton were your final 4 in the AFC. Wilson Rodgers Romo and Cam in the NFC. I can't take the Panthers seriously---they beat the Cardinals 4th QB and were terrible all year. Wilson is fantastic as a runner but can be exposed as a passer if the run game isn't clicking.....and that D sure helps. I do think he's got the best tools of the crop of the last 5 years tho outside of Luck.

     

    Anyway it's still a pocket passers league but the great ones are getting harder to come by. Defenses are catching up to the read option. I think that's why Kap had a down year. I think that's why Cam is so up and down.

     

     

    Just my thoughts. See a lot of talk about overall QB play thought it could use its own thread. Curious to here your takes.

  5. Anyone find it interesting that the "victim" he "bullied" ended up in San Francisco with Roman? Jonathan Martin.

     

    I'd like to think Roman (and I bet a lot of other guys) know exactly how overblown in this craptastic PC country we live in the whole situation was.

     

     

    Also...hopefully this means we won't be overspending for a Guard...that it creates some "the Bills are going for it" buzz by striking early here...and committing our cap room to Hughes, Revis and maybe even Julius Thomas.

     

    I can dream.
