“We’re very low on money. We can do some lower-level things but nothing that’s going to hit the ticker.” Buffalo Bills: Subtle clues from Brandon Beane’s press conference

well, at least he can't catch hell for joining in 2017. pinned front page.

plays for the brownies now? whoa, I mean pro bowl caliber. that I must say is impressive to say the least. those 3 points in the wildcard game, that was some real pro bowl worthy stuff wasn't it?

I've missed these taylor threads.

good luck

thread worthy?

top three.

since last year is past tense. I'm looking at this year, the here and now, last year doesn't matter anymore. so it is a good thing they're meeting the need this year, no?

“I know everybody assumes we’re going higher, but I don’t know that. But there are some players at 12 that I know would not have fallen to 21, so I’m excited about that. We’re in the range for some of these guys and that’s not necessarily quarterback.” With this statement, Beane is trying to send a message to GM’s across the league that the Bills are not desperate to trade up. He then goes out of his way to point out that it might not necessarily be a quarterback who the Bills value which also helps in trade negotiations as teams know they can charge more if you are trading up for what you believe is a franchise quarterback. I don’t think that he’s being completely truthful about it not necessarily being a quarterback, but where I do see some truth is that Beane assigns strict values to things and that he will not pay more than he has deemed appropriate even if that means missing out on a quarterback that he likes. There was no reason for Beane to add the second sentence above. The message this sends to me is that he expects change between now and the first game. To prove this, it’s not like you hear him talking about what he is looking to do at left guard between now and the first game after the signing of Richie Incognito but he did mention it in regards to AJ McCarron. Beane also sent a message to the agents of any players the Bills are still negotiating with in free agency that if they are looking for top dollar, Buffalo is not the place for them.

okay, you're crazy.

not my business really and no real baring but you seem to be going right back down that negative trail. why presume the worst before anything even happens? are you going to be just as repetitive and negative with the "back up" rambling all the way up until draft day? you, I or no one knows at this point, all speculation but until the they fail at getting a qb, they have not failed. as I said, really not my business but 6 weeks is a long time to be negative.

I'm going to say neither at this point. I'll just go with patient with a sprinkle of anticipation that they'll do what is best for the team come april. so far, I have been very satisfied with how they have handled their first off season.

if you don't trust the process, you don't know squat. you know, squat, like diddly squat

who were you there? I mean troll seems to come to mind but it could take a toll on me trying to relate it to your username here. I don't have much against them picking up rudolph, he would be on my list above allen and jackson. I liked rosen but the concussion deal bothers me. mayfield has some fire and darnold could be considered? at the end of the day, it doesn't matter too much who I like or dislike. I just hope they pull the trigger on any of the top prospects come draft day? Rudolph is going to need a lot of work on his field vision for the NFL. He rarely works beyond his primary read and constantly stares down his first option. In terms of his longer-term development, Rudolph was wise to return for his senior season. He should focus on improving his field vision to work through progressions before going pro. Along with improving his footwork, working on being under center, and learning how to call NFL plays. Jackson has a good athletic skill set, but will need to show more accuracy and pocket-passing skills in 2017. He also faces some size concerns and needs to add weight. Teams do feel that Jackson has a ton of athletic ability and upside to grow. He also has gotten good early reviews for his character, leadership and toughness. Mayfield stepped up in 2015 and carried the Sooners late in the season as they earned a spot in the college playoff. He was a Heisman finalist as he completed 68 percent of his passes for 3,700 yards with 36 touchdowns and seven interceptions. Mayfield also ran for 405 yards with seven scores. Allen could end up being a love/hate prospect. There is no doubt that he has superb physical talent to be a starting quarterback in the NFL. In 2016, Allen completed 56 percent of his passes for 3,203 yards with 28 touchdowns and 15 interceptions. Rosen had an impressive debut as a freshman, completing 60 percent of his passes for 3,670 yards with 23 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He showed off a powerful arm and the ability to be an NFL pocket passer. While Rosen has gotten a ton of hype, the same thing happened with Christian Hackenberg after his freshman season. Thus, Rosen still has more to prove as a junior to be a high first-rounder. Darnold completed 67 percent of his passes in 2016 for 3,086 yards with 31 touchdowns and nine interceptions. He has size, a strong-enough arm and accuracy, plus led USC on a nine-game winning streak to end last season. There is buzz of him being a No. 1-overall talent at the position. Team sources say that the early feedback is that Darnold has good intangibles as well. 2018 NFL Draft Prospects: Quarterbacks

doesn't look like a very good replacement. but, some have picked up their game when moving to a new team?

hitting the sauce can bring one to spirituality, no?
