To me, the best case scenario for Buffalo is still trading up to spot 2 or 3 with the Giants or Colts, respectively. This guarantees them one of the top 3 QBs.
Second best option is trading to spot 4 or 5 if the Broncos or Browns get Cousins and want to accumulate more draft picks.
In truth, I see picks 2-5 all as being attainable for the right currency. Giants and Colts, in my opinion, aren't taking QBs. Browns have picks 1 and 4 and are likely willing to trade one of them. Broncos will be open for business IF they land Cousins. -
I have ZERO interest in signing Keenum.
Sadly, I could see the Bills' decision makers disagreeing.
Yuck. Whole bunch of yuck.-

Yes. And clearly you don't, with this ignorant statement.
There are PAGES of diseases in which the pathophysiology is poorly understood.
Your ignorance to this simple fact proves you should bow out now.
There is very little evidence that cannabis isn't. Which is important to the medical community. First do no harm, anyone?
The question is relevant because there is a campaign of misinformation against opioids which is having the harmful effect of making patients suffer needlessly because they are afraid of the grossly exaggerated risks.
Just to be clear, rather than provide any proof whatsoever -- any at all -- that cannabis is the answer to either of the questions I posed, you responded "Well there's no proof that cannabis ISN'T the answer to your questions!".
Got it.
I think I'm done here. You've made your (unfounded, still-not-backed-up-by-ANY-evidence) position in this matter clear. Have a lovely day. -

I'm not sure that data is out there either. Especially when studies of opioid include heroin, which hasnt been prescribed for a century, and opioids that are not taken as prescribed.
As an aside, did you know that chemo drugs can kill you if you OD on them? Do you think it's reasonable to include the death profile on those when they are used incorrectly?
I don't believe that question has any relevance in this discussion.
Simple question: Which drug poses the greater threat of real, dangerous, physical addiction? Cannabis or any opioid (take your pick)?
Next question: Which drug poses the greater thread of death due to overdose? Cannabis or any opioid (take your pick)?
Can you produce any evidence whatsoever that cannabis is the answer to either of the above questions? Because there seems to be myriad evidence that opioids are the answer in both cases.
And, as JohnBonham said above, can you find even ONE irrefutable, scientifically vetted case of cannabis itself being the cause of death in a person? I can't. I don't think you can either.-

I stopped prescribing heroin in 1888.
Double blinded studies and that "jargon" is the basis of every medical decision made in the modern era. You also have no idea how medicine is practiced. Surprisingly, you don't realize the science matters.
Please show me the science, then, that lends any credence whatsoever to the idea of a reasonable equivalence between the addiction and death potentials of opioids and cannabis. I'd love to see it. Studies not in any way funded by pharmaceutical companies or others with vested interest would be preferred.

Here, I'll give you a chance. Show me a randomized double blinded clinical study that conprares the efficacy and adverse events of opioids and canniboids. Maybe I am ignorant to such a study, but I haven't seen it.
Dude...you can try to tie everyone up in double blinded studies and all sorts of jargon, but there's no reasonable way to assert that cannabis is as dangerous as opioids. There just isn't.
From https://www.cdc.gov/drugoverdose/index.html
"The United States is in the midst of an opioid overdose epidemic. Opioids (including prescription opioids, heroin, and fentanyl) killed more than 42,000 people in 2016, more than any year on record. 40% of all opioid overdose deaths involve a prescription opioid."
Now how many people did cannabis kill in 2016? I mean, seriously, this isn't even a debate.-

If you honestly think there is a safety equivalence between opiates and cannabis, you are either plain ignorant or willfully ignorant. Which would you say it is?
By 'another doctor' you are implying that you are a doctor, then I would suspect the willfully ignorant.
This.
Is it even a reasonable discussion?
Cannabis is, without question, safer than opioids, and kills FAR less people and destroys FAR less lives. Everybody from medical doctors to McDonalds fry cooks can see that. Well, everybody except Jeffrey Beauregard "my private prisons depend on weed arrests to make money!" Sessions.-

Inept QB play does not equate to a defensive battle.
I think that blaming it all on inept QBing is selling both defenses short. How many points did the Jags hang on Pittsburgh the very next week? -
Meh. There are plenty of defensive slugfests out there.
10-3 Jacksonville Buffalo was one of them.-

https://www.vox.com/2016/2/29/11120184/gun-control-study-international-evidence
A huge international study of gun control finds strong evidence that it actually works
A 2016 study, published in the academic journal Epidemiologic Reviews, seeks to resolve this problem. It systematically reviewed the evidence from around the world on gun laws and gun violence, looking to see if the best studies come to similar conclusions. It was the first such study to look at the international research in this way.
The authors are careful to note that their findings do not conclusively prove that gun restrictions reduce gun deaths. However, they did find a compelling trend whereby new restrictions on gun purchasing and ownership tended to be followed by a decline in gun deaths. -
Trumpie indictments, guilty pleas, and those turned state's witness piling up. Still nothing to see here, I'm sure.-

Not really sure how the Rams plan to afford him.
They've already got to pay Aaron Donald the richest contract for a defensive player in NFL history and find a way to keep Lamarcus Joyner, Sammy Watkins, Mark Barron, and Robert quinn. After THAT, they're going to have to pay Todd Gurley and Jared Goff.
I just don't see where they're getting all this money. -
There are a few young, explosive veteran WR options on the market this year: Donte Moncrief, Allen Robinson, and Martavis Bryant. I'll even add Albert Wilson in there. All are under 27 years old, all have shown they can be extremely effective in the NFL, and all would look great opposite Kelvin Benjamin next year, and would allow the Bills to concentrate their draft resources on other positions.
Get a quality veteran across from Kelvin, push Zay to the slot, re-sign Deonte Thompson for depth, and we're good to go.-

I know I'm in the minority, but I fully believe Sammy has the physical talent to be the best receiver in the league, or at least top 5. It has been his attitude, his health, and his quarterback circumstances that have held him back. He's not without fault for his failures, but he's also been dealt a bad hand at times. He was in run-first offenses in Buffalo with simple, outdated passing concepts and a QB who rarely threw for over 200 yards a game. The Bills also never seemed to work to his strengths. For instance, he was one of the best screen WRs in NCAA history. The Bills NEVER dialed up any screens for him.
The one time he DID stay reasonably healthy and got things clicking with his quarterback, he was absolutely dominant. We all saw it. One of the best, if not THE best deep ball receivers in the league.
Last year, he was a late addition to a Rams team that had already seen its QB build more of a rapport with the other receivers. Also: Goff, for all of his strides last season, is still a terrible deep ball thrower. In the Rams games I watched, Sammy was either over or under thrown too many times to count.
If it sounds like I'm a Sammy apologist, it's because I am. Aside from his bad attitude -- which I admit was a bad look and which he seems to have corrected -- he has been the victim of some bad circumstances. Put him in a legitimate passing offense with an even halfway decent QB who can throw a deep ball, and he can and will dominate. I just hope the place in which he dominates is not New England.-

Belichick always signs guys that have hurt him in the past.
If Watkins hits the market, watch the Pats sign him at a big discount and Brady/McDaniels finally unlock his potential. Gilmore will talk the place -- and the chance to produce and to win -- up to Sammy. He will proceed to torch the Bills twice a year for the next five years.
Sorry. I went down a dark road there.-

That was completely uninformative and uninteresting.
That's not a knock on the OP for posting this. I appreciate the link.
It's just...Kiper and McShay offered absolutely NOTHING worth listening to here. I'd honestly rather randomly pick any two TBD members and listen to their opinions.
Mayock is the only mainstream draft guy I can listen to any more. The rest are no better than an internet fan in terms of information and opinions.-

I think Fitz laid it out about as clearly as possible in Buffalo media that he'd welcome the chance to come back. I'm sure he made his pitch to Daboll as they were standing around waiting for Eric Woods....there are a lot of vet QB, there are less vet QB with a lot of experience in an E-P system and the cred to be both a capable backup and a good mentor.
Interesting story on McCown.
I couldn't either, at the time. My "aha!" moment came after the Beane hire, when they slung the entire scouting staff out the door lock stock and Bills paraphernalia.
I think McDermott didn't trust the evaluation of Whaley and the existing scouting staff.
I totally agree. I think McDermott wanted to stake his coaching tenure with the Bills (because lets be honest: If they took a 1st round QB and missed, he'd likely ultimately be fired) on the decision making of someone he trusted more. I think they also knew that THIS year's draft crop at the QB position would be all-world, hence the trade-down to get an extra 1st this year.
All that being said, I have most recently read that it was TRUBISKY that the Bills loved, to the point that they were willing to trade UP if he dropped past a certain point. So even IF McDermott had trusted Whaley's evaluations and gone for a QB, Watson still was likely not going to be a Bill.
I now understand WHY the move was made (or, in this case, NOT made), but I'm still hugely disappointed. Watson is dynamic. -

...strange how he's been in Buffalo recently for Eric's (possible) retirement and FredEx roast.......could this be guilt by (HIS hopeful) association?.........don't like McCown but it is personal versus football...was living at a hotel in Cleveland while my late wife was at the Cleveland Clinic......Browns used this hotel exclusively......met several of their invitees, rooks, vets, etc during minis and OTA's.....an A+ class bunch.....everything with the youngins' was "yes sir...no sir".....poolside with many and a great group.....killed me to sit at the curb with an invitee or rook that had been released, trying to pump them up for their next stop....met McCown....an arrogant POS.....hotel staff hated him as he treated them like dirt..."don't you know who I am?"....YAWN......have to see what happens with the Vikes triplets but no way on Sam as much as I like the kid.....although he never has shown much, MSU's Stanton was a 2nd to Detroit and is a 'Zona UFA coming off a two year, $6.5 mil deal.......my guess is McBeane & McD want a max 2 year vet guy to mentor their 1st round QB choice and Peterman...market is flooded with stupid and desperate money, so you may have to look "older" versus guys like McCarron or Keenum who will want 4+ year deals....stay tuned.......
I read that during the Wood (non) press conference, Daboll and Fitz talked for quite some time. IF the Bills move on from Tyrod and go with a rookie, it wouldn't surprise me one bit to see Fitz brought back to be a mentor/break-glass-in-case-of-emergency option. -

Boggles my mind how many want Baker Mayfield, but just a year ago were so opposed to taking Deshaun Watson.
It makes zero sense.
I'm going get a special type of enjoyment when the Bills trade up and draft someone other than this clown.
For what it's worth (not much), I DID want Watson last year. Couldn't fathom why a QB needy teem in year 1 of a rebuild with a new coach would pass on a QB.
And now, here we are, once again needing a QB. Oy vey.-

Yet you have zero guarantees that either one of them can play in NFL. Go ahead throw away at least three picks to move up and snag one of them. You are going to look like an idiot when it does not pan out. Just about every talent evaluator worth a damn sees flaws in all of your day 1 starters.
No thanks, I will take my chances on what is available at 21 or I will trade 22 back (Cause we sure as hell are not drafting a QB at 22) and draft Mike White. Who has the exact same chance of succeeding at the next level as your day one starters.
Go ahead ladies flame away. Espouse your Miss Cleo abilities.
I'm not quite sure why you're so angry. This isn't just about quarterbacks, is it?

Something about this kid just rubs me the wrong way. I fully admit that that could just be effective rumor-mongering by opposing agents. I don't know for sure, I'm not a scout. But I read his interviews and observe his demeanor, and something about it just doesn't scream "leader of men" to me.
-
I'm surprised to see that Kirk Cousins is leading this poll so far. He does not scare me AT ALL.
Actually, that's one of the reasons I DON'T want the Bills to draft him. Because if I have an opponent coming up, and I look and see that their QB is Cousins, I'm just not worried. He's an all-stats, no "special something" guy to me. He's a Cutler or a Stafford, not a Brady or a Brees.
Ask the Cowboys, Giants, and Eagles how they felt about going up against Cousins twice a year for the past 3 years... -

Whoever they draft or Nate Peterman.
Also there is a big difference between hating to lose and being a Jackass. He fits into the jackass category. Mayfield was arrested in the early morning of Feb. 25 in Fayetteville, and was charged with public intoxication, disorderly conduct, fleeing and resisting arrest.
I can see him getting into it with Buffalo Police on chippewa.
I understand and respect your opinion. I disagree. I think this incident falls into the category of "really stupid, but ultimately harmless". I don't think it portends to future trouble. Unfortunately, I somewhat doubt that the Bills front office agrees with me. I can see them skipping Mayfield because if the off-the-field stuff.-

Panthers releasing S Kurt Coleman, DE Charles Johnson
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Tre Boston and Kurt Coleman are BOTH scheduled to be free agents.
I'd love it if the Bills were able to sign one of them to a reasonable deal. Not only would it be valuable to have an experienced backup in the event that Hyde or Poyer is injured (does anyone want to see Colt Anderson get snaps on defense?!), it would also allow McDermott/Frazier to deploy 3-safety schemes. Buffalo Nickel type personnel. It would improve depth and increase scheme versatility.
And if Coleman is the one chosen, as someone else mentioned, it wouldn't count in the compensatory pick formula.
