    My thought for the Bills offer would be something like 4 years $32M with $24M guaranteed with a strong morality clause that allows the Bills to recuperate some/all of the guaranteed money if he violates it.

    l'd be fine with that contract. It would be nice to see the talent on this team continue to climb.

    Should Buffalo draft 1 of the 3 QBs at #9 if they're there?

    To answer your question my response would be yes.

     

    I would like to mention one thing that I did NOT like about Manuel last year. It was no secret to ANYONE, including him, how much this team, franchise and community needed a quality QB. We took him in the 1st rd, it compounds this point even more that we spent our best pick on him. Knowing this EJ HAS to make better decisions. What I'm referring to is when he got hurt in the Cleveland game. That was PURELY on him. The first down was more than secured, the game was being controlled and then he made one incredibly stupid and/or selfish move and that was to try and extend the play. It made me sick watching that play. Say what you want, he's a rookie, he needs to learn etc, etc. But let me ask you this, what if he didn't?? Nobody can say at this point if he has or hasn't. All I'm saying is that from what we have seen it's kind of nerve racking to hang our hat on what we have seen and know so far about EJ.

    First of all I seriously doubt it was a selfish play, learning play yes, selfish no. Hence my comment about sliding.I don't find it nerve racking at all, he's a rookie and we were told he was somewhat of a project so I wasn't expecting a ton anyways. In saying that I would expect this, the arrow has to start pointing upward.

    Sammy Watkins, worth trading up for? What cost?

    Yup. Like all of them or not, we added 5 guys so far in free agency (and resigned chandler). That's a good chunk of the roster, and not lost anything but Byrd. We may have done most of the heavy lifting for patching holes and now be looking for final pieces.

    I'm inclined to agree with you, as Kirby said earlier they may be in position to take quality over quantity.

    The draft won't cost $6m in cap. What is often forgotten(I forgot it myself earlier, hence my edit) is that the cap number is determined upon the top 51 contracts. Our 46th to 51st highest contracts are around $0.5m(give or take). 4th round rookies onward will get contracts below that figure (therefore not adding to the cap number at all), and the 1st, 2nd & 3rd(only just) rounders will and to the cap minus the $0.5m of the player they replace.

     

    Likely the rookies will only effect our cap by around $2.5m.

     

    After all that.......I agree with you. I too would love to see us roll over the money from this point. It seems we have finally started to draft impact players at positions of importance. A bit of extra money saved for the future will help us retain Glenn, Dareus, Spiller etc.

    I'm in favor. Save it for future use would be an excellent move.

    I think that it's more about EJ possibly being injury prone more than him lacking ability. It's a realistic concern and if he were to get injured again how would the fans feel about this? When I said that I wouldn't have no problem having Lewis starting I probably should have clarified that a bit more. I'm not stating Lewis as a starter but more of a relief QB in the event of an injury to EJ. Now Lewis might be worthy of being a starter but at this time I just don't know that to be completely accurate.

    Give him a LG, RT, and teach him to slide, and his chances of getting injured go down significantly.One year makes you injury prone?If you get a couple colds in one year does that make you sickly?

    I'm kinda lost on this one. I guess the point is that bad teams don't draft QB's until they get the right guy.

     

    This has been hashed and rehashed, but...Cowboys took two in the same year using picks from different drafts. Aikmen and then Walsh in the supplemental. Another team drafted QB's in the first in the early 60's I believe. We could talk about the rookie pool and how a team isn't handcuffed by drafting QB's like they were in the past but I doubt that you want to hear about that.

     

    It's never been done so it can never be done.

    That's not exactly what I was saying. If those are the only examples why do you think that is ? Probably only the last 15 years or so was it monetarily unwise.

     

    I'm not advocating for Bridgewater but check out what Gil Brandt had to say and you'll see that he puts a whole another spin on Bridgewater's Pro Day. I don't care who they take if any at all but if they do happen to like someone then I hope that they don't pass on him because of EJ or because they think that they are all set. I want insurance that this position is safe and solidified. I, like many , should expect the Bills to make sure beyond a doubt that we are. We as fans of this organization have deserve that expectancy, especially after all these years of ineptness. Think about it, the last time that we had a bonafide QB was Jim Kelly and we ended up going to 4 consecutive Super Bowls! Not the results that we wanted mind you but I think you can at least understand my concerns. If the Bills' brass have the opportunity to make this a successful position, regardless of who is manning the helm, then when they have the opportunity to insure it then they need to do it because we have earned that demand.

     

    *Thank you this has been a recording.

    I have no problem with them picking up Murray or Boyd in the 4th or 5th round, but the ninth pick no way.

    You don't make picks to send messages, you make picks to improve your team.

     

    The fact that people are willing to sit tight for 2-3 seasons boggles my mind. If it were any other position people would be clamoring, but QB? No! He needs time. He shouldn't share snaps. He must be treated as the starter. He must not be pushed.

     

    Mind boggling.

     

    My goodness, you love this argument. My job is not to judge the blue chipness of football players. We have a front office who makes those decisions. I'll repeat using slightly different words "if they deem a QB in any round to be of high potential they would be silly to pass him by."

    The question was should we draft a QB with the ninth pick, the answer is no. Show me a team that spent a first round pick on a QB, then the next year spend another first round pick on a QB. I don't recall one. EJ had a QB rating of 77.7, more TDs than INTs and no career threatening injuries. Did he light it up, NOPE, but rookie QBs rarely if ever do, did he miss open WRs, YUP, once again common in rookie QBs. He did show good poise, and looked like he belonged,

    even in the two minute drive against CAR. If I owned a team and the GM drafted a QB in the first round two years in a row , and the second one wasn't Andrew Luck, I'd fire him on the spot.

    What is concerning to me is how does a team that runs the ball SOOO much......be that far up there in sacks against totals? You would think that honor would go to a pass happy team.

    Some how opposing teams were able to decipher our offense.Run, run, pass, run, run, pass.That and most pass happy teams have a more experienced QB and tend to get the ball out of their hands quicker.That should come with time with EJ, hopefully.

    The Bills are doing an excellent job in Free Agency

    Well I've finally heard a football guy say nice things about Chris Williams ( a Chicago Scout on John Murphy) so that's something - before that it it seemed universally the word disappointing was used- I'll admit I've never focused on Chris Williams performance so my opinion was formed solely on things I've read.

    Bill Polian gave him a good grade, and I trust him over many others.

    Miami's OL situation

    I might get roasted for this one, but I would buy the services of Incognito with an incentive laden contract. Before you guys kill me, hear me out. First, he still has talent and cleaned up his cheap penalty like behaviors. He has a mean and nasty side to him on the field and nice for a guard to be a road grater. He knows it's his last chance to make money, and Marrone has a strong personality that could sit him down and lay the ground rules for employment. He'd never do anything like that again and the personalities of Eric Wood, Kyle Williams, and Glenn would never allow him to misbehave.

     

    I'd take him over Martin any day of the week as he is weak willed. After Pouncey, Incognito was the best lineman in Miami.

    I would never put Incognito in my locker room period.How do you know Martin is weak willed were you in the locker room? Both Luck and Harbaugh have come out and said it wasn't the case.They spent 3-4 years with him. Harbaugh even traded for him, only a seventh round pick, but I'll take their experiences and observations over your unknowing opinion.
