  1. Agree with OP's concept. The Jet's imbalanced their roster investment to fill one position. Converse approach: I think the Bills can get a serviceable future QB at pick 12, and fill the rest of their skilled roster needs with remaining draft picks. Also, next year the Bills are out of contractual hell with regard to the salary cap. That will bring in 2019 free agents. It's a good time to be a Bills fan.
  2. It's all in the W-L columns. I'd tolerate a Rex blowhard who wins. If you're a losing blowhard, you're sleeping with the fishes. That's pretty much how it ended up. It's not complicated.
  3. NEW ENGLAND- Tom Brady BUFFALO - AJ McCarron MIAMI- Ryan Tannehill NY JETS - -Josh Rosen I think McCarron is going to be a pleasant surprise. he was suppressed in the depth chart by a very good Dalton being virtually ignored ignored in free agency upset him; he has something to prove even though he hasn't been the starter often; he's been immersed in the NFL for years I like what I hear of his college years (there's an excellent tbd post on this, I couldn't find it) he's working hard already to beat whatever rookie may be drafted
  4. Any of these flights, including Arizona may have been other Pegula business, ie: energy, country music, hockey etc.
  5. Midget with an attitude, Mayfield, drops in draft status and is picked up by the Bills at #12.
  6. Just for kicks, ranked by discussion intensity on The Stadium Wall. Searched on last name only, post created in the last month. The search function is not for analytics, so YMMV. Josh Rosen 3189 posts Lamar Jackson 2405 Josh Allen 2369 Baker Mayfield 2284 Sam Darnold 1897 Mason Rudolph 1133 I'm surprised Darnold's post count is so low.
  7. Shove off Star Boy. The process can't account for other teams recklessly mortgaging their future for this years high pick.
  8. Don't stew too long. McCarron is going to be the next Joe Montana, surrounded by a boatload of talent we pick in this draft. I say that almost with confidence. The only off-season move that has me concerned: the Daboll hire.
  9. Interesting. She looks like she has another 20 years left in her. Maybe the Saints are OK. Kim Pegula looks like she has another 40 or 50 in her.. good news for the Bills.
  10. Gayle may be legally planted to become owner. BUT.. does Gayle have the ability to pay the estate tax? Estate taxes is why Ralph Wilson's daughter didn't get the Bills. It's also why the Cooke family had to sell the Redskins to Daniel Snyder. I think the Saints will be up for sale. Sadly. But people want to tax the rich, and this is a result.
  11. The Jet QB room is veteran heavy, with both Bridgewater and McCown on fresh new big contracts --- this indicates the Jets may be taking the slower route to rebuilding their QB position. I could see them drafting a project type QB to sit on the bench for a few years.
  12. Feeling good about it player wise. Not so confident coaching wise (Daboll).
  13. Because they knew it was weak, but the options were worse.
  14. None of the UFA QB's wanted to pay NY state income tax. Truth hurts.
  15. Imagine a dinner date---of Casserly and Nancy Pelosi.
  16. Dang! The QB market is nuts. bad knees Bradford, 1 year, 20 mil slightly above average Cousins, 3 years 86 mil below average Taylor, almost a 2nd round draft pick (in context, Cleveland looks smart with this move) below average 39 year old McCown, 1 year 10 mil elderman and Wonderlic wonder Ryan Fitzpatrick is still employed four start unknown McCarron is a leader for the Bills bridge QB duties Kaepernick fans have been re-energized then there is Foles
  17. I know Cousins was a long shot for Buffalo. But I kind of expected a visit.
  18. In Organization Behavior, there is a model called "Success to the Successful" That is Beane. He's been successful all off season. Each of his moves benefited from the quan of his prior successful move. Nice to be off the "losses to the losers" model.
  19. Lolz... go away The league year hasn't even opened yet.
  20. It did work out for him here. He was a perennial backup in Baltimore. In Buffalo, he proved to be starter material. ..just not our future starter material..
  21. The correlation is sky high. Highly successful entertainers with stage fright (a form of anxiety) comes to mind. Also, another poster suggested KW suffered from bipolar disorder. I could see that. Makes me wonder... do the Bills have a team Psychologist? If not, they should. Many millennial pro athletes could use some life coaching.
  22. When you see the countless posts looking to sell the estate to trade up and draft that magical "franchise" QB, -- it makes you wonder: maybe deliberate tanking would have been a wise approach to the 2017 season. (given the Watkins and Darby trades, one can argue the tank was on) If the Bills tanked: we wouldn't be talking about trading multiple first rounders plus other picks/players for a shot at Darnold, Rosen, Mayfield et al. We'd be talking about which to choose with our naturally given draft choice. What happened: the Bills played balls to the wall. I believe they exceeded their potential and got lucky. They made the playoffs and earned a less than mid-first round draft pick. Would you have rather tanked (and pick a franchise QB without selling the farm), or made the playoffs? Me? I'm glad the Bills went all-in and made the playoffs, that goes so far in building a winning culture for the future. Also I look at the Sabres suckitude and can't help but feel once you tank, it's hard to wash the stench of losing out of the locker room.
