Sojourner

Every inside source is stating that it's most probable McCoy and the Bills come to terms on a new deal. He "has an issue" going outside of PA to play football plus his guaranteed money is set around the $1M mark. If the deal does go through, I think it's because he sees a lot more money up-front to secure his services. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If it ain't Hughes, we would likely find a suitable replacement in the draft - no?

I wouldn't mind Spikes returning but if it's between him and Harris at the same price, Harris would be the smarter choice.

I like the proactive moves the FO is taking to improve the offense... Sadly, it hasn't exactly translated to total success. Time will tell. PS- At a glance, I genuinely thought this threads title started "Has Dealer Drugs....".

Agree completely. I, sadly, can't see Fred on this team after this upcoming season.

Self importance?

You forgot that he actually wanted to be here too.

How many do you think F11 first?

THE PLAN: WHO IS DESPERATE FOR A RB AND HAS A DECENT QB...

I don't think you're in the minority. I think it's more a case of it having blindsided people.

I feel sorry for Bryce Brown. Right back into Shady's shadow.

For whom the (Liberty) Bell tolls, eh!

Thanks buddy. Damn. Hate to see Kiko go. Would be interesting to see him under Rex's tutelage.

Can anyone confirm if this has/will actually happened or is it still speculation?

If it has to be any of them that we throw a contract to and they sign, it would - for me, have to be Franklin. He wasn't too bad an OT and a decent OG.

You know your team has suffered too much tragedy over the past decade when motivational videos are needed even after the first winning season in that time-frame.

The hand of God works in mysterious ways my friend.

If either Winston or Mariotta is sitting there with the Raiders on the clock at 4, I could see the Bears trading up to pick up either QB. It wouldn't be back breaking to move up those three spots and Oakland still get to add a difference-maker at W/O if they drop to 7. Either way, Cutler isn't as bad as many would like us to believe but the Bears do have a chance to begin the journey to find his replacement. The only way that happens is via the draft. They ship Cutler to Tennessee and they switch firsts. Maybe Chicago throws in a 3rd or 4th rounder for good measure.

Hahaha, perish all you want.

Oakland, Detroit, Atlanta or NY Jets.

We can get any QB we want... It IS possible!

BS. Brady once he took over hardly ever "let it rip" which is what you would be suggesting with the whole "confidence out of the gates"/"turnovers might be higher". Each path is different, there isn't a mold for how a QB becomes great - it develops and they grow into it. The majority of what tends to kill a QB is not early slides, floaters or check downs but more often than not a blindside hit that completely derails their patience (happy feet/seeing ghosts) in games or one that costs them an injury that they never truly get over - the list of those types of QBs AND players is endless. I will say the one thing I agree with all the EJ doubters is that he plays scared.

The Texans game was a debacle, yes. The Chargers one? That was a poor performance all around. But these people I mention were not - for the most part friends. You obviously didn't even correctly read the part you highlighted. They have nothing vested in terms of this team, they aren't my friends so what exactly do they have to make me "feel good" about? I'm sure you'll come up with something. Also, it's funny that you mention the Chicago game because if Kyle didn't get that INT, I guarantee you sing a different tune about EJ's performance there. EJ's shown enough to fail and enough to succeed. The only detractor towards his success is consistency. Very few QB's are THE guy after one season's worth of play. Maybe the same happens with Manuel? Maybe it doesn't? As long as he's a Bill, I hope it does.

Easy tiger. I love Stevie but that's not possible. The only game where the production may have been different is the Chargers game - way too many inconsistencies on O, as well as drops. Speaking of that Kelly, I saw him 2 years ago in Charlotte Douglas. He was getting a flight to Nashville. Didn't say anything to him as he was in mid-conversation with someone at the departure gate.

Oh my word...

What's hilarious is the amount of people, who are fans of this team, are enjoying the possibility of the Bills dismissing a young QB. Nearly every person who wasn't a Bills fan that I talked to last season consistently told me "your team gave up on that Manuel kid a bit early". These were Saints fans, Packers fans, Fish fans,Jet fans, Cheats fans, Charger fans and 9er fans. All these other QBs being mentioned in this thread - save for Locker (due to injuries) - have showed way less than Manuel and their respective teams stuck with them for at least 2-3 seasons. EJ hasn't exactly been absolutely phenomenal but he hasn't been completely inept. In his worst games he's still had some kind of production. I don't think the kid at this point in time is a franchise QB but he's certainly not at the point where you give up completely on him either. As long as he's on our team and has a chance to be our starter. I'll roll with EJ. Not the worst we could manage.
