Logic

Not doubting this source at all, but I sure hope Mr Pegula isn't out there telling his draft plans to random energy industry associates. Considering the lengths the front office goes to to keep things under wraps, it would be really bad form by the team owner to be spilling secrets to people who don't even keep them.

Help a fella out: Who is Joe Chenelly and why should I care what he has to say?

McDermott is on record saying that he believes strongly that this is a drop-back league. Also, if Lamar Jackson were the plan, then shipping Tyrod out of town would not have happened, IMO. The pick will not be -- and never WAS going to be -- Lamar Jackson.

Save me a slice of that crow pie. I badly wanted Hue Jackson instead of Rex. I was convinced we whiffed big time on that one. Whoops.

Can't wait for the draft to happen and put us out of this "horrible takes" misery that we're all wallowing in with posts like these. Yeesh.

I agree with him. I think character/leadership/faith/"Bills DNA" are extremely important to Beane/McDermott. As such, Darnold and Allen are the only two I see them feeling comfortable handing over the keys to. Here's hoping they somehow, some way wind up with Darnold.

This is AWESOME! Imagine looking at that every time you're about to walk onto the field. Quite the motivation, I would think.

While I can't say definitively whether the Bills made the offer to the Colts or not, I CAN say this...Colts GM Chris Ballard is on the record as saying that, while he's willing to move back, he doesn't want to move back so far that he's out of "premiere player" range. He has stated that he believes there are only 8 "premiere level" non-QB players in this draft. As such, I doubt the Colts would've agreed to move down that far. I even doubt that they'd be willing to move back to 12, since that's right on the edge of being out of "premiere player" range, according to Ballard.

Lazy comparison.

I find it more likely that they take a QB in the 2nd or 3rd round. Someone like White or Lauletta. They're still not sure what they have in Davis Webb. If they stay at two, it's to take Barkley or Chubb, IMO.

Personally, I agree with you. I want nothing to do with Allen. I'm only stating what I think the Bills would do in this situation. I've decided that I think it's more likely that McBeane likes Allen than Mayfield. Just a hunch.

Your post is awful and without substance. Thank you for contributing nothing of value to the forum and wasting everyone's time.

I don't know many two-down, thumper 3-4 ILBs that are "stars" any more. We'll see.

Yeah, I'm not gonna get into a pissing match with you. Saying "What about Comey?" is no different than "what about Hillary?" or "what about Obama?" or any of the other numerous diversion tactics people use to deflect attention away from the indefensible acts of the vile thug in office. Every shred of Trump's behavior -- not to mention plain-as-day signs like the president's own lawyer having being raided by the FBI and the numerous indictments and resignations of Trump cronies -- points to some degree of guilt. If you can HONESTLY look at all the ways in which Trump has tried to shut down the investigation and conclude that this is the behavior of an innocent person, then I don't know what else to say. Time will tell the true tale. Only on a forum like this, with this many Trump apologists, could this tremendous amount of smoke and this amount of unprecedented (or "unpresidented", to use Trump's word) events not make people at least question if there's fire. We'll see.

How anyone can make schedule predictions at this point is beyond me. We have NO IDEA what teams will look like come opening day. In many cases, we don't even know who will be starting at QB against the Bills. Record predictions made any time before August are madness.

Nothing like a little Whataboutism to deflect attention away from the original point.

Yeah, people said they'd be the worst team in the NFL LAST season, too. How did that work out? That being said, it won't surprise me to see them regress this year, especially if they start a rookie QB. Anywhere from 6-10 to 10-6 is the range, in my opinion.

All three of Trump's new lawyers have spent decades on organized crime cases, racketeering, and complex white collar criminal defenses http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5640043/All-three-Trumps-new-lawyers-experience-organized-crime-racketeering-cases.html Trump hired criminal defense attorneys Martin and Jane Raskin Marty Raskin has experience dealing with the mob and complex racketeering cases as a federal prosecutor He served on an organized Crime and Racketeering Section One case involved a complex securities fraud involving pension fraud and kickbacks His wife, Jane, was a lawyer with Organized Crime and Racketeering Section's Boston Strike Force Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-5640043/All-three-Trumps-new-lawyers-experience-organized-crime-racketeering-cases.html#ixzz5DJq1Axw9 Oh, ya know, no big deal. Just the President of the United States hiring a mob lawyer. Nothing to see here.

Nothing says "innocent man" quite like Tweeting this type of nonsense at 11pm on a Friday night.

On the one hand, I'm beyond ready for the draft to get here. The anticipation is killing me. On the other hand, the buildup and the anticipation are the best parts! Once the draft ends, it's a loooong two and a half months until football starts. And the feeling when the draft ends, ESPECIALLY if you don't get the gifts you were hoping for...is quite similar to the post Christmas letdown. Post-draft depression. PDP. I'm not looking forward to that. I'm gonna soak up this next week of what has been the most fun, interesting, frustrating, terrifying draft season I can remember. The waiting is the best part.

First, I think "worst QB in the draft" is an overstatement. "Worst of the big four" is one thing, but worst in the whole draft? C'mon, man. Second, I'm not saying what I would do (I don't like Allen), I'm saying what I feel the Bills would do.

One thing I really hope happens when we draft a QB but am smart enough to know is a pipe dream: Bills fans need to give the player time and give him a chance. They need to remember that, as someone said on Twitter: football fans are GUESSING at which QBs will be good based on an extremely limited set of data and footage. They are PROJECTING which QBs COULD be good in the league if all goes well. GMs and scouts have a lot more information and expertise than fans, so fans need to not freak out and jump off a bridge if the guy they prefer based off of 3 Youtube videos doesn't get selected. Give the kid time, give him a chance, and have faith that maybe our scouts and front office aren't complete goofballs just because their (professional, much more well informed) opinion on a player is different than your (amateur, often uninformed) opinion.

People who are mad about lack of Buffalo in prime time games or national spotlight must always remember two things: 1.) The Bills are a small market team with very little national interest. 2.) NFL schedule makers largely look at quarterbacks when determining which games to showcase nationally. Because of point 1, the Bills will always have a harder time getting onto national TV than larger market teams -- who often get national games by default simply because people will turn on the TV in large numbers to watch said teams (Dallas, NYG, Patriots, LA, SF, etc). If the Bills want to start getting national exposure, they need to start winning more games consistently. Because of point 2, the Bills have rarely been on national TV over the past 20 years. No QB, no prime time slots. If the Bills want to start getting national exposure, they need to acquire a franchise quarterback. Until points 1, 2, or both are addressed, nothing will change any time soon.

I agree with all of this. Good post. When I ask myself "Who would Sean McDermott and Brandon Beane -- with all of their emphasis on hard work, the process, faith, leadership, etc -- want leading their team?"...I keep coming up with the same answer: Sam Darnold or Josh Allen. The only thing is, I'm not entirely convinced they like what Allen brings to the table in terms of skillset. Just last year, they jettisoned a big-armed guy (Jones) in favor of Nathan Peterman. If you look at the two QBs on the roster right now, what do you see? Guys who don't have the biggest arms, but who are accurate, can play from the pocket, and have exceptional character. Darnold just "fits the Bill", so to speak. I just can't imagine McDermott wanting Rosen or Mayfield as the leaders/tone setters for their team.
