Augie

He’s about 5 feet tall, with eyes that see right into your soul. He can be found at a portal near you.

Hey! That hair tells me you just might be pulling our leg. We're paying attention, you can’t slip that by on a bunch of sharp tacks like us! I hope he’s more like the Tin Man, and a couple well aimed squirts of oil can get him well lubricated on game days……like the rest of us.

If I’m a fringe guy, I don’t leave the complex until I’ve figured out how I can help on Special Teams. I like to think that Solomon has that quick twitch, bendy skillset we slack elsewhere. I’d like to see him develop to know what we’ve got. It would be awesome if he reached his perceived potential.

So, where is the outrageousness you claimed? What words did I put in your mouth? A) I never said “no better options were available”. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. We don’t know who the better option was, and we won’t for several years. Could some guys help more next week? Probably. Who is best for us in the long term has yet to be determined. The Bills thought in the big picture Jackson was the right choice on draft day. They have long term planning to do as well as preparing for this season. They went with a premium position, which I don’t hate. B) Since we don’t yet know who the best long term option is, throwing out names with the hindsight of a quarter season really doesn’t mean much, at least not yet. Obviously, some players drafted behind him will go on to have much better careers. That is the probably case with 99% of draft picks. Only an idiot could lose at the game of “Could You Pick a Better Player” in the draft over the long run. Every team has hits and misses, not just the Bills. Some guys hit right away, some need time and some never make it. I’m willing to see how this turns out, and I’m not looking back with hindsight pretending I’m smarter than the Bills FO. .

This need for immediate gratification is not the best long term plan, but some people can’t help themselves. Some things take time. They may or may not pan out, but I can guarantee you that Beane knew who else was available when they drafted each and every pick.

Sometimes this place makes me pray for the comet.

This is what the good franchises do, they are able to plan and look down the road to potential scenarios and potential future needs in future years. You don’t draft to win the first four games out of the gate after the draft. I’m not saying he will be a stud, or even in the league in 2-3 years, but I know right now is not the time to try to decide.

I will say that if it’s obviously too early, it’s obviously too early.

I didn’t actually ask for names, but I see you went ahead and cherry picked anyway. That is meaningless at this point in their careers, IMO. Will there be a better player picked somewhere after Jackson? Of course. But I responded to ask what outrageous claims I put in someone else’s mouth. I find the 20/20 draft hindsight arguments to be weak and tiresome (especially after only 4 games), but what outrageous claims did I put in someone’s mouth?

I don’t play 20/20 draft hindsight games, especially 4 games into a young man’s career. There will almost always have been a better option if you want to look backwards, but that’s not how it works.

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band would like to remove themselves from the list of Super Bowl performers.

This makes me want to learn the metric system. I feel like I’m missing out on so much in life. ….and I’ll be taking a leak, so who am I to complain?

This is just a subset of Bills fans who seek to whine about anything they can latch onto. It’s a shame, really, because it takes away from legit dialogue regarding what he needs to do to improve. He does seem to be a bit of a one trick pony, but we knew he wasn’t a finished product. Let’s all be glad he’s not on a lousy team where we would throw him to the wolves because we didn’t have better options. Who said better options were available. It’s not like there were 1st and 2nd round talents that we passed upon. You typically get third round talents in the third round. There is a reason they don’t go higher. .

How cute, somebody needs attention.

AI. It’s the future. They know stuff. I think you should seek professional assistance.

Hiding it in a grape would be a misdemeanor. This would be a melony.

Long story, but I missed the game today. Did punting ever come up again after he was hurt?

THERE is that 4-0 spirit!!! Just keep winning. Some will be prettier than others, but wins are good.

WAIT! Lamar and the Ravens have a way about them late in games. You want to see the very end. Right?

I’ll treat it like the NBA, when that becomes the topic I will find a new station.

So, it’s not just us? They are far too good to write off until they are officially gone.

No, no, I was planning NOT to make it. I just thought fair warning was in order.

I’d like to see Little Mister Gadget take a thumping.

You’ll give is a heads up, right? That’s only fair.

None of them seem to miss biceps day. * is that part of the restraining order?
