It was an awful lot to give up.

I have a feeling we'll know who he is in 6 games. That's about how long Manuel got. However, my hope is that McCarron makes Cinci look like fools and Allen never plays a snap.

I hope McCarron keeps Allen on the bench for his entire career as a bill and we trade his sorry Rob Johnson ass to the Jaguars for multiple 1rsts.

He might be the greatest QB to don a pair of shorts since JaMarcus Russel.

As someone with a lot of skill-based hobbies, sometimes you have to temporarily become worse so that you can become better over the long haul. This is what golfers do when they create a new swing at 35 or Phillip Rivers decides to change his throwing motion. The same thing happens organizationally. Trying to go for it all when you aren't prepared usually sets you back a long ways. Regardless, this has gotten way off topic.

Looks like my assumption was correct. You incorrectly parsed the most simple and straightforward of messages, and added a little bit of non-sequiter homophobia for added flair. Well done. 0/10. Try again. You understand that in order to see your vision through to completion you have to have time though, right? He had to right the ship to prove to the players, staff, and management what they're capable of. He also had to assess what he had. Now they'll look at replacing the beams and braces.

Nope, hate electronic music. I've just had life experiences. "YOLO" and all that.

If I remember correctly it was Actually 4th down with the game on the line. Going into the Cards game he led the NFL in nearly every category and looked like he was a lock for the Pro-Bowl and the drought was over. It was a really sad day. I was in Seattle and the run had brought 200-250 people into the Bills Backers bar to cheer for the Bills. The next week there were 10 of us.

Have you ever taken Molly? This was the opposite of what it does. Molly is out of your system in days and spice doesn't even register. No one will ever know.

But... why do you sound like a lawyer?

I take it reading comprehension is not your strong suit? I'm agreeing with their hypothetical assessment that they've bought some time. If you honestly think that every manager is trying to shoot the moon with every staff they have at all times, I'd love to know what else is in that head. They'll say they're trying to win a championship, but that's cliche nonsense. A rookie QB has never done it, and this team has a lot that needs to improve to compete with the modern NFL where every championship team is built like the yankees of old. Losing is acceptable when winning isn't the goal. I tend to agree with this, though I think if Rudolph is there at #22 he has to take him. I'd rather they do that then sell the farm for their 3rd choice, or Allen at any pick. I think we're looking at the beginning of a 2-3 year plan, which is a world in which Hughes, McCoy, Williams, Incognito, and maybe Benjamin are no longer here.

Maybe you shouldn't. At the combine he measured 6' 5/8". 1" shorter than rodgers, taller than Wilson, and about the same as Brees/Taylor

Jared Zabransky was 32-5

With all the talk of the draft, I'm curious where everyone thinks the strategy is for the team over the next season and beyond. Personally, I think McBeane realizes that they bought some serious time by breaking the curse last year. I'd definitely agree that even if they had a completely putrid season, their jobs would be stone cold locks for 2019. Last year the goal was to be competitive and start to figure out who they could build around and who they couldn't. Making the playoffs was an icing on the cake I don't think any of them saw coming. This year I think it's going to be a lot of the same, with the difference being that the entire focus is on finding out who can be their quarterback. If someone doesn't take the job by storm, I could see all 3 of them getting a crack at some point. I think these guys realize that assuming they find a guy with some promise by the end of the year, they'll still need 1-2 more years to assemble an Eagles/Patriots/Rams/Vikings/etc quantity/quality of talent that's capable of making a legitimate push. Given our projected $100M in cap next year, I'm completely ok with that. I think in order to compete at that level during the time frame in which it's likely to happen, we'll need to obtain some key pieces that are going to have to be tier 1 stars or at least very good players at TE, RB, DE, MLB and of course QB. The better the QB, the less pressure will exist on the rest of the team. I think inside their head playoffs are a "nice to have" this year, while finding that QB and a couple of those other pieces is the primary concern.

Good QB play makes WRs better. I'm fairly convinced you can get by with JAGs if you have a sound offense.

There wasn't nearly as much desperation last year. In 2017 there were a lot of teams settling in and comfortable with a rebuild. This year I can think of virtually 0 teams that applies to. Maybe the seahawks, but not really since they have a QB Maybe he could be tempted by Jerry Hughes as part of a package for #4, or even Lawson.

how the hell are they going to pay Donald? They also gave away Johnson, Ogletree, and Quinn for nothing. Did they really think Suh is going to fix that after what they gave away?

Especially when we could have stayed where we were last year and drafted Watson who was 10x the prospect. The absolutely must draft Barkley to take pressure off of Taylor and their defense.

If you build a Dome in Buffalo, what's the point of even having a team here? Move them to Florida and be done with it. Buffalo is built for grit.

Because he has nowhere to go but down. He's said to be the best prospect in decades. Why would you do anything to convince anyone otherwise? Rookie cap in place, no reason to mess around and potentially hurt yourself.

Make him complete 75% of his passes for 5000 yards?

Is there something worse than losing $15M guaranteed with the prospect of hundreds of millions for your family throughout your career. 99.99% of us will never be able to leave our family with anything like that. I know my life isn't worth that much security, and I do ok.

Same! that's weird...

2nd most consecutive starts. I think Groy is a better center than this guy, so I have no idea why you'd waste him at guard. Groy looked as good as Wood when he had a shot.

No offense meant, Tyrod. I wish you all the best, but I need a QB that actually throws the football and can find and hit open receivers.
