I'm trying to point out that you are using bad info. 1. Buddy Nix was not GM in 2009, Brandon was. Nix was promoted at the end of the season but wasn't signing players and being GM until 2010. 2. Bills did not have 98 million cap space, they had ~100 spent. 3. 2010 was the uncapped year. I don't know what they had over or under because there wasn't a cap. If I had to guess I'd say Nix had about the same amount of cap space as Beane. 4. Beane created some of his cap problems by releasing and or trading players. He did not inherit the worst cap in Bills history like you boys claim. 5. Saying Beane was in cap hell is a lie.

People really think telling White to study more and study the OC is bad advice? Really?

Actually it wasn't my argument. It was my defense of his argument. Also context depends on the viewpoint. I see show me the baby, not it could have been or we did this or understand we couldn't. It is or it ain't. So far in free agency it ain't. Now that's my argument. What Bills team in the last 20 years had a QB? What GM came in with a winning QB? These are excuses. Can Beane get it done? So far in free agency I'd say he hasn't.

I don't think that's right. http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d80ef32d2/printable/bills-release-g-dockery-te-royal-to-free-up-salarycap-space

He's a bum. He should be paid 65th. LMAO. Even I laughed at this reply. But so what. He's a bum. He's a backup.

https://www.buffalorumblings.com/pages/2001-salary-cap-prison "Donahoe inherited a team $5M over the salary cap and major changes were needed." Beane's team was not over the Cap. Yes and yes.

Dorsey took over the Bills? And name calling is usually code for "I don't have a real argument so I'll damn the messenger."

Sounds like excuses to me. We were in cap hell for the last 20 yrs. Every GM who took over had some kind of cap hell. All of them.

Breaking, old fat guys from their couch bitterly explain why something can't be done.

He's right about Beane signing poor free agents. He's right about Kroft being injured. He right about Kroft being reinjured.

But is he wrong?

Another Beane special. Wonder is he retires midseason?

I think he could be more than that. He should be used like Trevor Pryce or Calais Campbell or Michael Bennett. He's not a traditional inside player. He should be playing base end and 3tech on passing downs.

no link?

Good player playing in bad systems for his talent. He is not a traditional 43 DT. Only way I'd be for him is if he played End. Right or left.

Usually it's a lot of long snappers who make it but I think Adam Humphries was a tryout player. Edit: Kurt Warner John Randle Jeff Saturday

Because they need one Aaron Hernandez style TE. They'll probably keep searching for him as long as Daboll is OC.

In this defense it's better he play 3tech. People don't understand the LDE is not supposed to get sacks. He's supposed to protect the Weak backer from traffic and set the edge in the run game. If that player get 5-9 sacks it's a bonus. You want the pressure to come up the middle and from RDE, not off LDE.

Yeah most teams. NE. Sea. Atl. NO. Car. LAc. LAr. KC. NYg. NYj. Balt. Hou. Jac. Ten.

His best season was the one where Watt was hurt. Also in their defense he won't ever get a lot of sacks.

Why would they take Lawson when he didn't fit there defense when we had 34 under footboy? Hughes makes more sense.

Probably has to do with slotting money and free agency. After the 2nd round teams get to play with slotting money and fourth and fifth year option amounts.

The most BS out of context quote I've seen. I believe he said he's SHOWN he can play if he stays out of trouble. That he's already shown that by being a player in the CFL.

I like this. He was a good special teams player. Maybe he can try to be a Matthew Slater type.

Toughest team to judge. Given Beane's record with FA it's tough to say the OL will be better. There will be tape on the QB. It could be a stagnate season or they could blossom. Have to at least see game one for a true understanding of who they are. Probably out to game 3 really. I trust McDermott is the only reason I think they'll be better than 7 wins. How much better, who knows?
