Don't forget that if Gilmore does leave and signs for big money the Bills are looking at an end of the 3rd round draft pick in compensation for free agent loss. Does that nudge you to let him walk? For me his unwillingness to stick his nose in and make tackles says enough. While we may have growing pains we will not have that problem with Darby and Seymour.

Am I suppose to believe that Tom Brady is really playing for 9 million dollars a year? One of the most competitive guys in football is making less than half what the other top QBs are making? What's going to happen next. - the NFL finds out Kraft is shoveling cash Tom Brady's way outside of his NFL contract or Brady retires and "buys" a stake in the Patriots in where no cash actually changes hands. These guys are shady. Plain and simple. I can't give them the benefit of the doubt based on past behavior.

I wonder if Joe B will ask Rex if he ordered the code red?

Until one of the other RBs proves they can pass block Freddy is going to continue to make the roster and see reps on third downs. If it was all about running ability CJ would still be here.

It looks as though this is a partial list. 17 names would just be a sample. I believe each team is allowed to interview 60 players at the combine. It is still a lot of QBs though. I guess Whaley is doing his due dilegence as they did when they selected EJ.

Who is going to pass block? Not one other back on the roster can do it.

Doesn't throw better than EJ? Bradford has an elite arm and is worth whatever price at 27. We have $30+ M in cap room. Where are you going to spend that and not have 14M leftover for a QB? Please don't throw out a laundry list of the top free agents expecting them all to come to Buffalo. We are more realistic than that I would hope.

It's fairly simple. Sticking a couple of resources in the corner to crunch numbers does not change the process of drafting players or ultimately winning games. The task at hand is to change the culture at One Bills Drive to a data driven decisioning making organization. For that you need a solution implementation resource who specializes in change management, not number crunchers. More important than the complexity of the data is how you utilize it. Like most organizations the Bills use traditional decision making methods, "I think.....". Organizations like this utilize data to back up their "I think" decisions rather than using the data to lead them to the course of action they should take. The culture at One Bills Drive is the problem. People need to be accountable and their processes measurable. Two guys in the corner analyzing data and sharing it in a weekly meeting will not help anything. An entire organization (owners, coaches, players, staff, etc.) measuring their processes and using data to drive their decision making will.

WGR is so negative it's hard to listen too. It is a bunch of loud mouths that for whatever reason have risen to the level of reflecting the attitude of the Bills fan base (aside form Sal). They all buried the Bills for the last month and will not own up to being wrong for even one week. It really embarrasses me that EJ had to give a speech to the team about the Bills players against the world. I don't know if the Bills know how man fans support them and are behind them and don't waste each day playing arm chair GM second guessing every decision the organization makes. Go Bills! - Step on the gas and don't look back.
