It is not an enhancer for Athletes. Just goes to show how superior the top guys are...

As a low level play caller, I've always said this. It was never a knock on the quarterback, as I've said it not even knowing my roster. It's just old school, and the most sure fire, powerful, punch you in the mouth type of physical domination in a game of mental and physical strength. I see nothing wrong with expressing one's dreams ;-) Now, carry on bashing the ex coach who actually said something bright this time.

Just a little fun conversation on a Saturday night.. If you could pick a franchise quarterback for this current Bills team that never won a Super Bowl in his career (yet, counts), who would it be? Imaginarily, he would be coming in as a rookie and spending his best years with Buffalo. This would be a quarterback that you feel could have won the big one, but didn't for some reason...team around him, management, a missed field, etc. My pick: Dan Marino! Haha Reason: Greatest QB on my non SB list, bar none I got the easy choice out of the way so now you guys can do the better analysis!

Size hasn't really changed over the past two or so decades. Barry and Emmit Smith are a little shorter, but weigh the same, and have tremendously solid body types. Thermal, at 210 lbs would be the floor for a carry/touch machine. Going back further, OJ, Jim Brown, Marcus Allen, Eric Dickerson have elite size for today's game. Maybe there are more 6' 230 lbs guys in today's game, but they can become useless very quickly. If anything, they might be, on average, an inch or three taller than yesteryear. BUT, skill has evolved a lot. Today, they are faster, more agile, and have considerably better hands and pass protection skills. They train year around, and need to compete against way better players on the other side of the ball. So throwing the all time greats in their primes like Simpson, Brown, and Dickerson on the field would be a tough one. Perhaps they would wear down quickly during today's fast paced, size and speed game.

Agree! Elloit is top top tier. But don't over spend for his backup. It's essentially a wasted drafted pick because both McFadden and Morris are useless on a good fantasy team, and someone in your league will take the guy too early....don't be that person. Me too! And I won the thing It's all a crap shoot though. Luck (sometimes Andrew) is 50% of it.

I have the original broadcast on DVD. I found it on eBay. One of the Best Buy's I ever made!!

I don't know about Bennett being #23, but you got me hooked on these lists!! How is Dan Bailey not a top kicker?! Some of the old timers are like 55% FG kickers haha. They suck!!

I can't wait to see him peak as a low level pro bowler in year three, then disappoint, then sign a big contract else where, and finally mail it in for the rest of his career. Once a Bill, always a Bill.

There is no team in the NFL that would side with Sherman over Wilson. You were fun while it was good, Rog. Now shut up and play, or go away.

I think they would make the rest of their new division better, because the new teams get to play Buffalo. I wish I was kidding.

No one is going to give up a late 1st or early 2nd for Watkins. That was the price for Cooks. Sammy is a bust, and injury nightmare. Cooks is a game changer (like actual game changer...like he really does this, in games).

You're right.. There's just so much to be positive about! No offense, but think 3/4 of the fan base is silly delusional by now, including myself.

That's cool! Must've been a lot of fun in the team film room with a pointer on Bug Zach!

It's the coaching. Players will respond to intentional, honest, smart, and calculated ruthless coaching. The medical and strength & conditioning guys either take the lead of the coaching staff, or they are replaced by those who will. Then, let the PEDs flow like The Falls. The Bills have had none of these things since 1993.

Did anybody catch the 0.5 second commercial spot in between the pick and the flick?

Mahomes throwing it 77 yards too. If it was instant replay, you couldn't convince me it's 78. He releases it from the 26 yard line and it appears the ball would've landed about 3 yard into the endzone.

I'd love to see it. Are those who say What's Up Mahomes throws the ball 90 thru the air totally full of it? The farthest I ever remember seeing a person throw a football is 77 yards, Randell Cunningham during those awesome QB Challenge deals in the 90s. Kyle Boller tossed it 65 from one knee...that was cool. They say Elway could sling it 80, but I never saw it. I want video evidence of a player throwing it over 77 yards. I demand it!

I honestly don't care who calls the shots, so long as they're right. It was bold, and not the easy thing to do, which might be a good thing. It's Bills' Time!

Is this the draft that shows Buffalo was right, and other more established coaches and FOs were wrong? It will prove one thing, or the other. But geez, if Mahomes and/or Watson hit, then Oh Boy.

Goodell has a terrible habit of mispronouncing the easiest of names. If he can do it correctly, get someone who can. What a shame for the players and families, and an embarrassment for the NFL. Reuben Froster??? Really???

Sadly, the Buffalo Bills are fooling no team into jumping up in the draft to pick one of the quarterbacks. Only Bills fans believe that's a possibility. The real talk around the shield is more like...hey, if the Bills want them, we don't.

Any team that has beaten the Bills in the playoffs in my lifetime, and the Chiefs for that weirdo 33-6 butt wiping on Monday night in like 1992. There are some interesting teams on that list...Browns, Bengals, and none other than the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Willis McGahee right? I remember that scrimmage. It was nationally televised.

Nah, I happen to disagree. It should be THE ONLY focus until it is fixed...and right now, it's not. Doing the other thing hasn't proven to be very successful for the past 20 years. I'm not sure what's so difficult to understand. Some fans are so emotionally wrapped up in Taylor it's starting to become odd. The OP asked what the Bills need to do to get into the playoffs sooner rather than later. I think the answer is one in the same - It's quarterback. Taylor isn't good enough. I hope I'm wrong...so far, I'm not. He needs a lot of team help to overcome his deficiencies. No franchise can make that happen year in and year out.

It would be something at quarterback. The only way I see the Bills even making the playoffs next season is if their defense is a dominant #1 and doesn't choke away a big game or two, but actually wins that big game. I hope to eat my own words, but I'm afraid Taylor cannot win any game with his arm, and his legs will fail him soon enough. He will never be a game changing passer, if it hasn't happened already, and the Shades will be half a step slower each year from here on out. They have to address quarterback this off season. Rolling with Taylor and allowing for Jones to develop is a plan, but not one that I think is going to produce a playoff spot this season or next. But, hey, what the hell do I know..
