No 1st round QB. Reports are that this years QB class isn't very good. Don't waste a first round pick on someone who isn't very good.
But if one of this years QBs falls into the third or fourth round, take them.
Note: I take exception to the Tyrod is the problem meme.

Climate Change: another case of a vocal minority (scientists and pols who believe it) out shouting a silent majority (the deniers).
Found this today, a peer reviewed study that finds the majority of scientists don't believe: http://www.forbes.com/sites/jamestaylor/2013/02/13/peer-reviewed-survey-finds-majority-of-scientists-skeptical-of-global-warming-crisis/
I emphasize peer reviewed. That means it isn't government spin, MSNBC-Fox-CNN spin, Dem or Repub spin, George Soros spin, etc.

Classy move. Their GM got into scouting because he was friends with Polian's son. None of them, including the guy in Jacksonville, have been very good. Nepotism is not a good thing.
Nepotism = root cause of the 49's decline.
Other... Weddle seems like a hard core West Coast guy. I don't seem him coming to Buffalo in any stretch of the imagination. A shame too, he is an unselfish locker room leader, something the Bills need.

If I am Terry Pegula I am **** scared about the cost of natural gas.
Nope.. no sweat on the brow of TP. He sold at the right time.
He snookered Royal Dutch Shell. http://www.fool.com/investing/general/2015/10/04/terry-pegula-how-the-buffalo-bills-owner-and-energ.aspx
He's an benevolent genious.

I get upset with the Bills, but will never root against them.
I will never like the Jets. Two words: Bryan Cox. Two fingers also.

I didn't wear my secret decoder ring today. How do I translate what you just asked?
People in IT will know most of it. Those are different IT programs and languages.
drink ovalteen?

No offense intended here:
Stop dividing fans into one of two groups. There are plenty of us that both believe that Taylor has done well for himself AND that the team should be looking to improve the position
I think the Bills should keep TT... but also draft one QB each year somewhere in rounds 2 to 5. (I think first round QB's aren't worth the risk)

I'm a semi-retired Program Analyst (programs as in operations analysis, social programs etc.)
I have experience querying and analyzing data from Oracle, Postgres, COGNOS, SQLite and Peoplesoft.
I also have significant experience with XML, XSLT and technical writing.
Is self employment developing queries and formatting reports viable? It doesn't need to be especially lucrative.
Particularly with the XSLT. I know most people don't like working in it, so does it get farmed out?
And Peoplesoft: I'm not fond of it, but I was pretty good at listening to mgmt concerns, then drawing data out of it that executives found helpful.
Any suggestions of skills I should pickup? I'm thinking R, GIS and other stuff.
I do not want to do Web Development or DBA work (seems to be excess labor there).
(I am in the Buffalo area and willing to travel)

I got my LLC through Legalzoom.com (it looks like you have already covered that). ...and I am thinking of using Quickbooks online.
Don't forget the "towing/impounding from private parking lots" market segment. You can make good money there, but you also need a thick skin because you'll be despised.
-
I think everything is relative, personally. He made one legitimate mistake on the day when missing a good half of his offense, with ****ty weather, against a pretty healthy Dallas D. So yeah, I think Tyrod played well yesterday. But 'well', and 'quietly spectacular' are subjective terms I guess. I just don't understand the constant shitting on him by the crowd here.
I don't understand either.
I suspect, the Tyrod haters are a vocal minority. Tyrod supporters are a quiet majority, and are at work right now.
-
Even after a win, a significant amount of Eeyore like comments.
It wasn't a great win, and the situation isn't great. But it's not Stephenson/Bullough 2-14.
It must be hard to go through life so negative all the time.
-
He was the GM for the 2013 season.
I stand duly corrected.
-
This win sucks. Doesn't help us in any way, shape or form.
Dude... this isn't NHL where tanking helps.
-
Is Giilislee that good... or is the game plan/O-line opening holes the size of Rex Ryan?
-
I've been patient with the Bills--with the exception of that stupid train horn... that thing is so juvenile.
-
Stockholm syndrome?
4-12, 6-10, 6-10, 6-10, 9-7, 6-10. #Whaley.
More correct: Whaley as GM -- 9-7 and t.b.d. Not to shabby.
-
I want to draft a QB AND keep Tyrod. You have to draft them but then you equally have to develop them!
That's the way to go. They should keep TT--but draft one QB every draft. If they did that, after a few drafts the coveted Franchise QB will have arrived.
-
Russ Brandon is the one that needs to go right along side of Rex.
Well... yes: if you're upset about the price of your beer at the stadium.
RB is only on the business end now. He has zero to do with football or hockey operations.

Maybe you have never watched Al Jazeera's news network but it is excellent. It is on par with the BBC and far exceeds any of the major news networks or CNN in terms of the quality of its news coverage (you won't get fluff "lifestyle" stories ala Good Morning America). It is a straight up news network and has nothing to do with promoting Islam or any other ideology. If you want to be spoonfed news analysis with a political bent, watch something like the Fox News network. If you want objective world and American news coverage you should watch something like Al Jazeera or the BBC or PBS News Hour (although News Hour is not a 24 hour program).
All the networks you mention: the Beeb, AJ, CNN, Fox, PBS, they all have biases. I don't trust any of them. So I get my news from sources left and right, then make up my mind.
The Beeb was once the Gold Standard for objective reporting, sadly they've slipped significantly in that regard.

The "fire them" fans are rightly pissed at performance.
But they don't understand the need for continuity. They think coaches, players and schemes are like spark plugs on a car... as in: swap them out, and good to go.
N.E. prime example of the value of continuity: Belichick going on his 15th consecutive season. Yes he is an evil genious with a gifted QB, and some cheatery... but still I'd say organizational stability is the foundation of NE's success.

WGR alluded to this story http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000000609519/article/which-nfl-gms-are-on-the-hot-seat
With:
The Pegulas, the new owners of the Buffalo Bills, think of him very fondly and he is in lockstep with coach Rex Ryan.
If the report is true. Many fans heads will explode. (not mine though)
-
I'll be at the game doing nothing but rooting for a Bills win and spending time with my Dad. I've never been a believer in booing your own organization. Pegulas saved this franchise for the time being, they e earned the right to choose. As fans we have no role but watching, accepting and cheering. Some of you need to lighten up and watch the game not the press box.
More comments like this are needed.

No disrespect to Kiko, who is a talent... just sayin.. where's the praise for DW who wisely decided McCoy for Alonso straight up was a a good deal?
C'mon fans.. our season sucks, but you gotta admit the Bills made out on this one. And, I suggest, the Bills also did good on the Tyrod deal.
-
Franchise QB = unicorns. Everyone wants one but no one can say for sure where you get one.
Yep. This.
Jack Eichel or Connor McDavid are one thing. Franchise QB is another. Ask whoever it was who drafted Ryan Leif.
