The commercial sequence would be even worse when a touchdown occured near the end of a quarter. At least I knew when to make a quick run to the store to buy more food or beer.

They put themselves in that position before 2013 by not having a valid QB option after not retaining Fitz. Buffalo has drafted five QB's since Kelly retired, Cardale Jones, EJ Manuel, Levi Brown, Trent Edwards, and JP Losman. Buffalo needs to draft quarterbacks more often. Failure to do this results in what we have seen over the last 20 years. Not every drafted QB will pan out but in the long run they will have more depth and more of a chance to find the right player.

I did think about it, you are arguing that McCown is better than Taylor. Please give me three reasons that McCown would have given us 8+ wins this year. My point is that Taylor is a low end starter which is still better than many others and certainly better than McCown. Taylor isn't the future beyond another year or two but he is the best option going into 2017 unless the lucky draft pick happens.

You.... you re remember when McCown got the Browns 7 or 8 wins last year, and in Tampa in 2014? That was awesome!

If Buffalo gets Brown back, than the team managed to retain both Brown and Alexander at a good price. Whaley isn't perfect by any means, but that individual accomplishment is a success.

Whatever happens this year, at least we wont be last in the division.

We only had three receivers two weeks ago, now there are seven. At least there isn't a shortage anymore. I still think a #2 needs to be added somewhere. I would imagine that Tate is competing with Butler, Powell and Washington for roster spots in preseason.

Although he may be a decent backup to have and an upgrade over our last one. It is not worth the press distraction. I do not see Kaep as having good character or leadership ability. The stance he took is debatable, but the fact that he suddenly changed his tune and decides to stop the stance shortly before free agency came,is suspicious timing. That is the primary reason for my opinion on him. Name aside, I believe that Buffalo is better off with a draft pick and Cardale behind Tyrod.

Yeah, I mentioned Maybin earlier. The difference so me is others busts like Spiller, Whitner, Williams and even Losman and Manuel to an extent at least played for awhile. Had any of them hypothetically been picked from mid to late round,the would have been just another guy. Maybin was so bad that he could have been picked in the 6th and 7th round and still been considered a bust.

So many choices. Losman was bad and a reach but at least sought after at the time, Manuel was bad but at least we traded down and got Alonso who turned into McCoy before picking him. Ive heard things about Tuttle, Patuski and Moore but that was before my time. Flowers was a bust and Mike Williams was a waste of a top 5 pick. McCargo, Troup and Hardy are honorable mentions but..... My choice, Aaron Maybin. Worst and most frustrating in my memory. As bad as the others that I listed were, Maybin may have done even less than any of them. Had he been picked in the 6th or 7th round, you could have argued that he was still a bust. Even more frustrating was the fact that there was a clear chance to pick much better players projected higher when it came time for the Bills to pick.

I don't know if it is the playoff experience, or the catchy name, but I could see Philly Brown doing some good things this year.

There is no established number 2 option after Watkins but from top to bottom the WR group is deeper and better than last year. I still wouldn't mind seeing a receiver drafted early if the right opportunity comes.

I noticed that the BBMB was referenced a couple times in this thread. Towards the end, that board was pretty much two overbearing mods, and a handful of troll posters including this guy who were despite that, were still allowed to create or reply to the same spam subject threads with horrible opinions every day without any consequence. I hope the TBD veterans will realize that most of the influx that came from the BBMB boards including myself are regular Bills fans like you guys that just want to talk reasonably online about their favorite team. We just made the mistake of picking the wrong place to do so for a few years. I know the post that I replied to doesn't help the cause though.

The Raiders will be deeper in talent so there would be that to consider. Even with that, I could see EJ making enough mistakes to make this a game. Taylor on the other hand, though not always moving the ball doesn't make many mistakes. Turnover battle would make the difference and Buffalo would win.

7 or 8 wins The roster is incomplete and it is a new system with many new players. More often than not that leads to a non playoff team. My only hope is that Rex was even worse than we thought and that the talent on the team responds to the new coaching staff and system.

I would lean towards no for drafting him, but if he falls to UDFA like some are projecting, it would be a no brainer.

Not just that, but these signings mean that the Patriots get three extra comp picks for the next two seasons.

I'm not surprised, every first round QB not named JaMarcus Russell who doesnt work out with the team that drafted them, always gets a second chance. Hope he does well in life, but I also hope he is starting ifOakland plays Buffalo next year. We need all the help that we can get.

I didn't know exactly what happened at first, a poster clarified it for me and now I understand. However, I cant stay mad at someone who just posted a hilarious reply like the one you did on the offended poster. Well played.

OK, that makes more sense. Thanks for clarifying.

Seems to me that a player should definitively know whether or not he used a pen to scribble his name on a paper that gave him millions of dollars in exchange for spending a given amount of time with an NFL franchise. It should be clear to a player whether or not they did this occur either way. Only in Buffalo.

My sources say that aliens are on the moon and preparing to take over as we speak. No link, but the voices in my head just whispered it to me. There, I just did what the OP did.

It's bad, bad Philly Brown The baddest man in the whole damned town Badder than old King Kong And meaner than a junkyard dog

Cardale Jones and Levi Brown, lol

It's funny, I posted a thread with this exact subject a few hours before the BBMB shut down and was told by a couple of "experts" that the thread was pointless and that I was idiotic for posting it. This is a real issue and a big part of why we are in a playoff drought. In contrast, New England who has had arguably the best quarterback of all time since 2001 has drafted twice as many quarterback as Buffalo during the same time frame. Long story short, quarterback is never a position that you should neglect, especially when you do not have one.
